Help learning Japanese - culture\language?

Question

Hello,

My name is Simen and I'm 20 years old and I'm from Norway. I have been wanting to learn Japanese for a long time now and I've started some audio courses, but kinda lost intrest after a while becouse of lack of real life practise and inspiration.
So I am looking for someone who would like to share their knowledge of japan and Japanese. Preferably someone Japanese or someone living in Japan. All ages are welcome, preferably adult or late teen. But send me a mail none the less. I will happily learn you some English or Norwegian for that sake, also we can exchange experiences, and learn about eachothers cultures and likes and disslikes. I am very diverse in my tastes for music, movies, theater and travel etc. So Don't feel discouraged by my age.
I can use skype if you want to talk, or we can keep in touch over e-mail.
Feel free to contact me even if you don't fit all my "criteria", we just might hit it off and get something productive out of it.

Regards.
