You shouldn't only want to be friends with people because they're Japanese.

Hello~
I'm not Japanese. But WELCOME~
to Japan Forum~!!!!
:]

I think you misunderstood me.

I think you should be friends with someone because you have the same interesses, not because of their nationality.

du'uh
 

if u end up befriending a lot of friends with the same habits, hobbies
you don't tend to learn a lot of new things

friendship if on a new basis is all about learnig other ppl

well if you find some friends ask them for more people who like to have contact to foreigners. (ausländer!?) :confused:
sorry for bad english, i'm german.

@ carol
i understand what you mean. :)

btw is here anybody who doesn't like J-Pop/Rock?
i think many guys in here just know about J-Style and hello kitty.
i'm angry about those people. that's not japan.
they think japan and japanese people is/are better than their country. that's not right.

but i understand people (me too) who want to know people from japan because they want to travel there somewhere in the future. :ywave:

I'm Japanese. Where are you from?

What kind of things are you interested in?

You're acting a little bit defensive...

Sure, you can learn a lot from friends, but if there is not a 'click' and only 'a preferred nationality', then I don't think you'll be good friends.

For myself, I don't like it when people are only interested in me because I'm Chinese/Asian and are like: "OMG, you're Chinese/Asian? Let's be friends! ^^ ''

But you're right, it's your own business. And since I'm not a Japanese, I shouldn't be posting in this topic so I'm gonna bounce.

I'm half- Japanese and AnimeGod scares me..........alot. And I agree whole-heartedly with you Carol

I would like to speak with someone from Japan, just to learn from a good source about life over there. I hope to live there in the future and want to know a few things, like how women's rights are progressing and are all the toilets squat-style.
