I probably can go anytime but I don't feel comfortable not knowing the language and not having anyone to go with so I'm probably going to take a few classes and study Japanese for a year in University biggrin Have fun in japan when your there.

Haha, being Asian (Chinese), they probably won't be surprised. They'll probably think I'm one of them and wonder why I speak weird Japanese.

I have one, but it's honestly frustrating sometimes.
We're both learning each other's languages, so I sit there
wondering if I offended him, and he is literally flipping pages trying
to find something to say to me. xDD

If you have a friend from Japan, ask if they knew anyone
who'd like to have a penpal~ (That's how I got mine, lol!)
American culture is HUGE in Japan, and many boys would kill to
meet an American girl, and same with the girls in Japan.
(This is what creates grumpy old Japanese men! Interracial marriage
is growing more and more~)

Actually, lol, when I lived in the pacific--we learned little features that set us apart.
You know. . . Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Filipino, even Hawaiian & Chamoro, etc etc.
I lived on an old Japanese island for about two years, so if I can tell the difference,
they should be able to also.

@glassssscandy;; it's not a huge difference, lol, but there is some.
To us, it's offending to be grouped together.

あ! ありがとう~
Actually, if you look on those international forums
(in forums) most the Japanese speaking threads are filled with
fluent speakers, mainly in or from Japan. ;D
But I'm sure you could find some friendly people locally~
and a lot of sites online are dedicated to locating pen-pals!
And if that sounds a bit much, you can always open a thread
in the international forums asking around for Japanese pen-pals!
You wouldn't be the first one, so I'm sure someone would show!

how nice they want americans and we want japanese XD

perfect match!

anywaaaayyy riki is right about the international forum, thats how I found my penpal!

@riki your probably right but so far I can tell the difference... XP

I understand how it's offending to be grouped together even though your cultures are totally different!
