Not sure if anyone answered it but simply you can say either：

つまんなだよ(tsumanna dayo)= I'm bored
つまんな！(tsumanna)= Bored!
つまらない~(tsumaranai)= Boring~

I should tell you though that this is the short form/slang/informal so it really should only be said around friends and family and not teachers/bosses/anyone higher in rank than you.

(lol I almost didn't put the romaji because I forgot that you might not know how to read hiragana)

My first time flying to Japan I left from Washington DC, which isn't really southern, but I can give you an idea. One way ticket for me cost about $1,000 dollars. That was flying west over the US and Canada towards Japan. For my last round trip, it was around $2,600, but that's cheap because I got a pretty crappy flight with a layover in Canada on my way to the US, and the same route going back. I saw tickets way beyond that price for better flights.

Man! How could you afford 3,600 dollars? How long did it take you to save that much money? Probably a long time. Or did you just work really hard
to save the money? I guess it's just a lot for me because I don't have a job
yet, and I can only save like 50$ in 2 months.

Well the cost between the first ticket and second ticket was about a year, so I had that entire time to save up for the second ticket. I had a good job before leaving for Japan (and a good one in Japan), I have zero debt and have paid for all of my higher education so far up front, so something like the flights are not that hard to obtain.

It sure does sound like you had a pretty good job.

No, it's not true.
It looks like something from Google translate.

Are you trying to learn Japanese?
If so try reading through Japanese Grammar Guide | Tae Kim's Guide to Learning Japanese
Or try finding a text book.
I'm afraid Google translate will not help you at all.

I think I may have asked this before(i'm not sure).
In Japan how would somebody most likely start a conversation?
And how would you say hi?
I mean I know hi is konnichi wa, but how would you express your self.
Because I heard that you never look the other person in the eye.
I'm mainly just asking these questions because if I ever really go to Japan
I don't want to make myself look like a fool.
