In America I work out about 5 days a week at the gym, but starting this fall I'm going to school at Jouchi daigaku, in Tokyo, Japan and I'm staying in nishi kokubunji. I know my way around shibuya and meguro-ku and chiyoda pretty well, but I haven't been there in a few years. Does anyone know if there is a fitness center or weight room of any kind in that area???

I'd like to think of myself as intelligent when it comes to Japan, but this is one of those burning questions, and I must admit I am naive in specific culture background. My friend told me at a Hibachi-style restaurant, his Japanese chef told him that he has lived in America for 13 years. He said he (and his family) moved to the US because they didn't like Japan. He didn't ask why, so now I am left wondering.

My question is what would motivate a Japanese person to move to the USA, basically in hatred of their own country? I am asking for some possible reasons for this kind of move. I am also seeking deep answers, because I am sure that the reasons behind such a move contain a lot of depth. I love Japan, and would consider living there. But my 13 day-trip can't be a deciding factor for me because that's hardly even scratching the surface of Japanese life. There's got to be more to it; something more that I can't understand. I look forward to your responses on this question!

Hi you guys! I'm going to work in Japan in two weeks and I have some questions:

1) How much money does a single person spend on food in a month?

2) Aproximately, how much money does it cost to travel by train five days a week for one month?

3) Is excesive touching or another kind of molesting behaviour towards women actually occur on trains? Or elsewhere?

4) How stressful is to work for someone not japanese but working for japanese people?

5) Where or how can I make friends outsite work? Japanese or foreign people, I don't mind.

Thank you!

I was speaking to a Japanese lady who was working in a store the other day...I speak a few word of Japanese, but Im not confident...anyway, towards the end of the conversation I said...

(Her name) - san wa shinsetsuna hito desu.

She seemed a little embarassed.

I thought the phrase meant "You are an helpful person"...anyone know the precise meaning, and whether using such a phrase with a stranger might cause any offence?

For me, it started when I was a little girl, about age 11, when I would watch anime. Some of the things I saw in anime got me interested in their culture. I would read about Japan all the time. I love it. I took Japanese courses to learn their language. I just think it's such a great place and I hope to go one day.

Okay, I'm going on holiday to Japan for a few weeks. Bad timing, I'm also being made redundant and dont really want to go over the top on spendage. I've heard that it's way more expensive over there so what are my best chances of fetching something cool back for me and my mates. (I secretly hope Ps3, but naahhh.) We're all into junky gadgetty things and all sorts of gimmicky / tech stuff, but don't wanna come back home and find it cheaper here. Any suggestions?

(Please don't suggest hentai and/or a life!) - :p

Perhaps GDP is not a good way to measure wealth. Would any say that Japanese have a better quality of life than those in the United States (on average)?

What why and or how did you become interested in Japan/Japanese? Many members already know or share the opinion that the country is interesting, and the culture is intriguing. How was your interest started? Was it something in the mass media that sparked your intellec? Were you captured by a history lesson? This question or conversation topic usually comes up when I meet with other gaijin here in Japan.
日本人の場合、答えなくてもかまわないです。

For me, Japanese and Japan came to me. In enrolled in a Japanese conversation class just to fill my schedule to qualify for full time student. Fast forward to my first real job after college, the company's business and projects had me travelling to Japan often. Skip, forward again and my transfer to Japan was offered to me from the Japan HQ side.

What, how and or why are you in or interested in Japan?

I really need to make friends with a penpal from Japan! I want to develop my Japanese conversational skills and I don't know of a way to do that if I don't have Japanese friends! I am looking for a girl or boy penpal of age 13-15 to correspond with through instant messaging or email. I could help them learn English too.

I also want to learn more about Japanese culture, which I am very interested in. Do you happen to know of anyone? Or what are the best penpal sites to get QUICK penpals/epals?

Thank you very much for your help!!! :-)
