Found this forum through someone's blog the other day and ended up reading about working in Japan, though I've no intention of doing so myself. I did contemplate however a couple years ago immigrating to USA, and well, maybe because of that: I don't have any rosy ideas of moving to another country with a flick of my wrist.

Random: I'm a cat owner.

Reason why I'm here is curiosity, seeing what people think internationally and how they come together.

I don't really remember when Japan has taken my interest, the first thing I remember has to do with Japanese scenery/gardens. Then again my birth religion promoted an international 'one family' so probably I got the like somewhere in my childhood that I've already forgotten about.

I like getting idea's from Japanese street style (from hair to clothes and in between). I've been planning to become a clothes designer in near future -- don't know about my skills but that's most likely because I don't understand sewing clothes together in practical sense.. But that's what schools are for, acquiring skills, talent is another story.

Anyway -- nice to meet you all!

Hello All!

Name: Abner
Age: 31
Coming to you from: USA
Here for: I'm currently learning the Japanese language and though my Japanese is very poor I am looking to improve, and meet people who I can maybe practice with. At the same time I love Anime, Japanese Live Action Films and Haruki Murakami novels.
Why do you want to go to Japan: Hopefully one day so I can see all of Japan, not just one city, but tour the entire country and try all kinds of Japanese cuisine.

Hello there folks,

My name is Glencoe and I have just joined this fabulous community. I can't believe that I have never seen this before in my usual drift through cyberspace. I live, work and play in Japan - in Gifu prefecture. If you want to ask anything about the culture just drop me a wee private message, I will be happy to discuss anything about this wonderful country.

A quick about me - I am happily married with a gorgeous wee boy (1 year old). I love taking photos, but I am totally crap at it. Perhaps some of my photos will find their way on to the galleries here at some point. Japan is such a wonderful country that there is always something nice to snap away at. I adore JAPANESE FOOD. It is, simply put, the best food in the world. It is healthy and tasty. I hail from Scotland, but I will living here forever it seems, so having a wee community to lose myself in now and again will be good.

Anyway,

Nice to meet you all.

~Glencoe.

Hey ! I'm here to maybe do some language exchange. I like japanase culture, and so tought myself It's a good idea to learn more about it.

I like video games, drawing, painting, writing and watching movies. (Such a lazy ass heh? ._.)

I've also came here after watching the disaster happening right now in japan. Not to be a jerk, But I think it's sad it happens to japan. It's the more original and creative culture in my opinion.

I hope there won't be too much trouble with that nuclear stuff tho. :/

Good luck to anyone that might live overthere.

Why Do I want to go to Japan: I want to go to Japan because I want to explore the culture and everything. The Cute Girls (Asian Girls are my favorite), cities, anime, Cars(drifting and Street Cars), Tokyo Game Show, Festivals, Cosplay, etc...
Here for: to learn more about Japan and the culture, make friends, learn more about Cos-playing
My Interest: Anime, video games, Hadouken!, Break Core music, walking, etc.
Little history of my interest in Japan: When I was about 12 or 13 years old, I would watch Toonami everyday after school and don't do my homework. Toonami was my starting point to watch anime. One of my favorite shows, Tenchi Muyo! series was actually the show that motive me to look up more about Japan. On that day, my interest in China has dramatically shifted to Japan.
Favorite Anime/Manga: I both watch and read manga, I mostly watch anime. My favorite anime(s): Katekyo Hitman Reborn, Outlaw Star, Naruto, BLEACH, Afro Samurai, Tenchi Muyo! Series, DBZ, and etc. Favorite Manga: Katekyo Hitman Reborn
