I don't hate school, so that in not a problem 4 me...
And I know that it isn't exactly like in anime/manga, but I've read a couple of blogs (4 or so..) of people who went on an exchange year (high school) to Japan. The activities & stuff were kinda as the things you see in anime/manga. So my question is: What are the big differences in real high school life, and anime/manga high school life?

If it were like that in the US, I'd be really popular.

In my experience in a Japanese high school - I can only think of 2 students who actually didn`t really give a crap and were just there because they had to be. And they were fairly quiet about it, just cutting classes, leaving early, etc. In my experience in a US high school - it would be much much easier to count the number of students who did appear to care.

first, I just want to thank Nyororin for answering the houndreds of questions in this thread. you are amazing.
now, on to my question(s)! I've been slowly but surely (read: incredibly slowly) studying japanese for the past year now and it has come to a point where i feel i won't progress unless i either take a class at school (which i can't :S ) or just surround myself with japanese things and people for a while. So it has come to the point where i'm seriously thinking about flying to japan and staying there for 2-3 months. So, naturally, I have some questions on how all this would work. 1. Where can i stay for 2-3 months? god knows I can't afford to stay at a hotel that long :S 2. How am I supposed to make friends there? is this somehting I should do beforehand? in that case, how? 3. Where do you guys suggest I stay if I decide to do this? Those are the questions I can think of right now  oh, I don't know if it matters but I am 23

how would i go about getting my drivers licence in japan?
also, whats the deal on owning and operating an older car, like years 1992-2000? isnt there like a special tax you have to pay on an older car? this is a big factor for me because my main interest in japan is the motorsports scene! lets get excite/hype!

ok i have question. but first i think it's awesome that you went to japan with nothing and are still living there today. its kool. and its a lot like my problem. See I have this goal in 2 and half years I will be graduating high school, and I would like to someone start my life in japan very soon after I graduate. I will have had 4 years of japanese and more counting the books and advanced learning I've done on my own. The problem is I don't want to wait until after college to go. I'm impatent. And looking for a job in japan seems super difficult without any college background. I know there are some jobs that will hire you without college and just start teaching you while your working in the job. but it all seems difficult. but i want it more than anything in my life. So any words of advice for someone like me?

Getting a job in Japan with no extensive work background (I'm assuming, given your age) and no college degree won't get you far at all.
