I actually have the privilege of working alongside a Japanese VIP and his attache in the past, and decided to give myself a crash course in Japanese business etiquette, so I wouldn't come across as a fool before meeting them in person.

While the duty on the day was rather solemn, I found them an absolute pleasure to work with. To me it was something unforgettable, and I might talk about it more in the future.

i was in beijing for a summer mandarin language course long time ago. me and my roommate from lebanon were bored in our shared dorm room and we convinced our chinese friend to download movies from her laptop. we watched chinese, japanese, korean movies almost every day in our home far away from homes. i had suddenly developed an interest in japanese and korean language. my interest here is the language.

AH, that reminded me that my own study of the culture and language had an earlier start than I remembered. In the late 1970s I learned some Japanese because I was exchange Telex and Fax messages daily with a banker in Tokyo. But there was a big lapse after I left that company.

Australia.

I have a fascination with language.
I feel a little kept in the dark not knowing how to speak it, I love the way their language looks and sounds.

I grew up in Taiwan where they're a significant influence of Japanese culture. Growing up, I loved their Manga and always wanted to visit Japan.

I recently signed up because it will be my first time visiting Japan this fall, and hope to find some interesting places to visit and get an insight of the culture here.

I love Japan (& China for that matter) because the culture, both old & modern, really appeals to me. I love the culture, sports, music, the people, the architecture, the neon glow of the cities, the social & work aspects & the beautiful countryside. And when Shunsuke Nakamura joined my favourite football (soccer) team, Glasgow Celtic, I was overjoyed.
