The first time I came to Japan I knew about three words. I spent the entire time with a Japanese friend who spoke English, but after a week or so he got tired of translating for me and left me to fend for my own sometimes. "Living hell" is a pretty decent way of putting it. Well, actually more like a "stressful hell". I was still a teenager then, and it was very intimidating and scary. However, I knew from then on that I wanted to be successful in Japan, and came back after studying 1 year, then 3 years, then graduating with a degree in Japanese, when life became a LOT easier (I also had a job and visa).
