I was able to find many friends to hang out with in Japan, there was no shortage of women who wanted to practice their English(helps being good looking  ) It's pretty easy to find the ones that speak decent English they flock to the areas like Roppongi and Azubu Juban cause they know that's where the gaijin all are.
Good luck and have fun--as the others stated just be prepared for some difficulties. As long as you don't go in with ridiculous expectations you should be fine. |
Thanks a lot for your help Gahzirra.
really appreciate it
have you anything what you could recommend me Gah? For the language I mean'?
