You think he'll make it there? saspa posted... He's learning japanese though. See, it's more than all that. Respect for the culture is a big key thing. I personally want to venture there some day and without just saying it because games or anime (both which I grew out of), I'd say pretty well that my mannerisms IRL are far more "Japanese" than typical American. I address people I don't know as sir or miss. I screw up, I bow with my apologies. I'm very non-confrontational and refuse to instigate fights or anything. I've always been like this. No idea why. My family isn't. I just.... forced myself into IRL mannerisms. I think being in Japan, for me, would be a really interesting breath of fresh air I don't get over here. Of course, it could be disappointing, but we will hopefully see some day. --- Japanese Crack: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5pzggr <cite>Sayoria posted [p:900475753] in Friend wan...

Respect for the culture is a big key thing. I personally want to venture there some day and without just saying it because games or anime (both which I grew out of), I'd say pretty well that my mannerisms IRL are far more "Japanese" than typical American. I address people I don't know as sir or miss. I screw up, I bow with my apologies. I'm very non-confrontational and refuse to instigate fights or anything. I've always been like this. No idea why. My family isn't. I just.... forced myself into IRL mannerisms. I think being in Japan, for me, would be a really interesting breath of fresh air I don't get over here. Of course, it could be disappointing, but we will hopefully see some day.</quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!

From what I've learned by people who live there, you don't try to fit in because they won't ever accept you since you're not Japanese. You embrace that you're different and you'll have an easier time. thank you. ive been trying to say this for the longest time. you can't go into a country, where you are ethnically different than everyone else and expect to be treated equally. you're a foreinger. just accept that people are gonna treat you different, look at you weirdly, and assume things about you and get on with your life. but no, folks gotta be like "THE JAPANESE ARE RACIST! WHY ARE THEY TREATING ME DIFFERENT!" jesus christ. if i ever move to korea, ill be a foreigner. cuz i am a foreigner! doesn't mean people won't like me. it just means i can't get surprised when people treat me differently! its not their fault, im the one who decided to waltz into their country!
