I would like to go to Japan myself. I've always been fascinated with the Japan culture's, Life style's, and etc. I also have a cousin that is currently living there for the next 2 or 3 years because of college.
Hopefully soon I will be able to go see her and then get my first ever chance to leave the U.S.A. and go experience something new.

Shadow__Dweller what is it with you Americans and your fascination with Japan? xp Well, I've been their and it is...how you say, awesome!? Now I'm not sure why others might like Japan, but for myself some of the main reasons are: 1) Their technology is at least a year ahead of what we have here. 2) Almost everything their is clean. I hardly ever saw trash and they have public recyling, we can't even get home recyling to work. 3) Everyone is so nice. Here if you go to a big city and wave at people they either stare at you like your some kind of freak, or just walk on without even caring. In Japan my friends and I started counting how many people we could get to wave at us and we got forty in 3 days. That's why I want to go to Japan, and I plan on going as an exchange student my Senior year of college, so I can have at least six years of Japanese under my belt.

As the best place in the world goes, that's really a personal choice, I know my brother really wants to move to Germany out of college. I know from experience that yes there seem be a lot of nice people their, but their are still some jerks and mean people. You're going to find those everywhere you go. Some of the TV shows are really weird, but sometimes you get the right kind of weird that just makes it super funny. xd

Yeah, my friend's pin pals really liked Lost. xd
But reading the manga doesn't seem to be that geeky, that or there's just a lot of geeky people in Japan, because they had books everywhere!

I didn't know they found anime geeky...considering it's made there and everyone else seems to love it. but then again, to be honest it's only America that really loves anime. I'm not a fan of Naruto either but my bf downloads all the episodes. rolleyes I've never been to Germany so I don't know what it's like, but you're right about there being jerks in every country. so many people are leaving the UK because they think the crime is too high ad it's dirty etc etc, but just cause when they go on holiday they see the nice side of another country, doesn't mean that it isn't just as bad there. It's the same everywhere.
