what is the real Japan like?
 

I know some people don't like it when other's ask, but, really, what is the real Japan like.......the country sides, the cities, the shrines, anything..:D

In what regards?

There's a lot to say about all those things.

the culture, people, or anything you know or what to say.....lol:cool:

It's hard... words don't really do it justice. Living in Japan for 2 years was a life-changing experience, something I'll never forget. The shrines were incredible and I visited a ton of them. The people were very friendly and helpful. There were just so many interesting sights, sounds, smells, and tastes to experience!

your so lucky, I've begged my mom to send me there as a foreign exchange student, but she wouldn't let me.....lol, thankz ;)

Keep going to school and get your degree. I didn't go as an exchange student either, I was on the JET Program, teaching English in the Japanese high schools when I was 25 years old. And to be honest, I think I was able to appreciate Japan much more because I was older, more mature, and had far more freedom to travel and do whatever I wanted than I would have had as an exchange student.

I heard that the Japanese don't like foreigners living there...I know it sounds off the wall, but my friend told me. I'm planning to live in Japan after I get a degree so I'm hoping it isn't.
So hearing they are friendly made me happy.

I figured you were older when you been there(not to call you old or anything), because you just sound more experienced with the place.......and I'm not that immature....I might be 16 but I've had my share of life... I think I would enjoy it just the same.........lol:eek:

Seeing at any age would be amazing really. Just appreciate it while you can. Those experiences don't come everday.

I'm not foreshore if I'd live there, yet, but it would be awesome to do:D
