Japan

This boggles me. Japan is a very industrialized country. It seems that they like working so I'm thinking they enjoy what they are doing. And I have always had the impression that the Japanese are very resilient people. People around the world admire the Japanese and its culture.

They go out with their friends on trips, karaoke, and drinks. They can afford expensive branded goods. They are the richest country in Asia. Going to clubs with hosts and hostesses is very common and accepted. They are living the good life! It seems that the Japanese has everything going for them so what is wrong? Why the high suicide rate? They even have suicide clubs on the internet and suicide pacts. People who don't even know each other meet and agree to commit suicide together.

Considering that they have the mentality that they are better than their Asian neighbors, you wouldn’t think they have low self-esteem issues. Suicide is an indication of someone who is weak, a failure and a coward.

I want to say this: (and to spell Cho Schoci correctly)

I believe that my experiences have given me some insight (Cho Schoci) to the traditions and customs of Japan.

Does this translate as a clever jab at my own statement? or would Japanese people think it was silly to say?

Filipinas are common to be seen working in nightclubs in Japan or as maids in Japanese households. In fact, Filipinos cover of a significant portion of population in Japan. Some even marry Japanese men for money more than for "love." I don't look down on my fellow Filipinas as I even have an aunt who was an entertainer in Japan herself. I am a Filipina (who lives in America) and I plan to study in Japan for a year... the thing is, I want to know how the Japanese see my people. Are Filipinas looked down upon in the Japanese society? Let's say I date a Japanese guy, will the guy's family not approve because I am Filipina?

This question is by no means intended to offend the Japanese or Filipinos -- just a question by a curious person.

Thank you.

My boyfriend has asked me to marry him. He is a Japanese man and a Japanese citizen and would like us to be registered in Japan as husband and wife. I know I have to visit the US Embassy in Japan, but do I need to be LIVING in Japan in order to be married thru the Japanese government? I am of course, of legal age to be married.

I'm moving to japan within a few months and was wondering if anyone has every been to Aoyama. thats the area I want to stay at but I cant find much on it. Its closeby to Tokyo, so if anyone knows about it, or has been there, or even lived there, that would be awsome. I'm going to be attending Aoyama Gakuin University so its ideal. Thanks!

We're taking our first trip to Tokyo at the end of May and are flying in from the US. From what I've read, the best transportation from Narita airport to Shinjuku is via the JR Narita Express (N'EX). I've also read that you must make reservations for this train. My question is, how do you make reservations when airlline travel is notorious for not being on time? There could also be problems with luggage or customs. If you're late for your reserved train, can your tickets be used on the next N'EX train? If we don't get reservations, what are the chances we can just walk up and buy tickets for the next N'EX train?

I'm looking for more maps like this one, similar to what you'd see posted in stations and on trains in Japan. They can be in either Japanese or English.
