Hey yesterday in Japan there was an earthquake and then some aftershocks in the afternoon.
Later that night I (In Hokkaido) felt an earthquake later that night, did anyone else living in Japan feel an earthquake last night? I was surprised that I would feel it all the way up here in Hokkaido. I text my friends and they all felt it too.

This may be best answered by a Japanese native or someone who is currently living in Japan.

While living in Japan, before moving back for good or before going on a long trip somewhere else, sometimes friends and co-workers will give you what I have come to understand as "goodbye money."

I have heard that it is proper etiquette to give back half of this amount to the giver.

How and when are you supposed to do this? Before you leave? While you are away? When you come back, if ever?

Speak in Japanese and English in most of their J-Pop songs?

Think about it.
If we spoke in English and Spanish in our songs, It would sound REALLY cheesy.

I'm confused.

I've been trying to learn for about 2 years now, but it hasn't gone so well. Money is too tight in my family for me to buy anything, so I would like either a "penpal" or some websites with free lessons.

I've been contemplating about pursuing a career of some sort and living in Japan for quite a while now. I am an Asian American undergraduate at UF currently majoring in EALL. I am fluent in English and Chinese-Cantonese, but I am not literate in the latter (I cannot read the kanji). I am planning on spending a year in Osaka to study abroad during 2008.

This may be a broad question, but what studies should I be focusing on to get a good career in Japan? I've done alot of research on the subject, and I know that many gaijins first enter the country through various work visas and most predominantly, the JET program. These foreigners usually also go on to become entertainers, English teachers, or bartenders, none of which suit my tastes. My general interests lie with computers for the most part: stuff that involves IT and networking. Grabbing a translation job for a gaming company of some sort would be a dream come true for me, but I'm not sure what current job situation is over in Japan.

Now that I have lived in Japan and Korea, I am wondering who invented the rice triangle/ball. Bonbu got me wondering with his onigiri link. It doesn't really claim it as Japanese. The Koreans claim it as theirs, originally. It is called Samgak Kimbap in Korea. What is it in China? I have seen them in Hawaii.. that must be from the Japanese tourism. What do we call itin Hawaii I wonder? Onigiri or rice ball?

In Japan, normally steering wheel in the car is on the right side and driving on the left side on the road.
But sometimes can see left side steering wheel cars on the road.
Is it easy drive in Japan?
Does it confused people if drive opposite side?

what I mean is, if I were to travel there witha friend, would i be spending my days looking at signs and checking them in the phrase book or would there be some in english symbols?

I just generally want to know how many people from Europe visit there and get around easily and have such a good time.

Im 100% desperate to go to japan in the future, and will not let anything get in the way of me going there before i die,lol, but sometimes I think that perhaps my thoughts are ahead of my actions, and realistically i would need to have studied inrtense courses of Japanese and all to actually get there.

Am i right, or is it not as hard as i think?

please help

A friend is visiting Japan soon. He says he will bring something nice for me, but on top of that, he asked me if there's anything in particular I'd like. Is there anything really nice you have seen over there ? I love most Japanese stuff, ornaments and so, that's why I can't really decide. Your suggestions are most welcome.

Thanks!

I'm serious. People who have been there before, back me up on this. Everything works better in japan, people are nicer, women are better looking, things work the way they're supposed to, cooler cell phones, no stupid liquor laws, you can get Whiskey from vending machines, amazing public transportation, the Shinkansen, no machismo, don't have to worry about who has a gun, awesome clubs where women actually look feminine (Asian women are soooooooooooo hot) , arcades (yes, in Japan they still have them ) hanami, nomikais, no Republicans, etc.
