I like ervthing about japan.It's a great country i like to visit it sometimes but the trip is quite expensive

Originally I was interested in Japan purely for it's amazing Manga/Anime ! But I guess that's a good thing because as I was looking up Anime when I came across fascinating things about Japan's culture, daily life, and high school life. Now I find myself on the computer for hours researching anything I could possibly think of about Japan. I've become very interested in learning Japanese ( im a little past beginners level ) and kanji which ( I decided to delay learning the written language until I've learned the spoken language more fully )I love. Hopefully in the 10th grade I will be going there as an exchange student but there are some difficulties in the process. I'd have to say that the overall culture , and family values interest me most when it comes to my drive to learn more about Japan.
* please don't take my opinons to heart because we all have our own and are intitled to them. Thank you!

I always thought of Eastern asian women/girls as pretty or beautiful. When I looked at your web-link I say some really pretty girls on there , although there were some not so pretty ones as well.

If you go to the Member's Gallery I have a few photos of Japanese actresses posted.

That is crazy funny!!!!!

Ashen .

I would like to STRONGLY suggest that you master hiragana before learning spoken Japanese. Not writing your lessons in Romaji, and only writing them in hiragan will be a big benefit down the line.

All of the culture. The big cities, nice-than-normal people, language, manga, anime, etc.

I don't know why, but I feel like I belong there...

I think in the second post, he added an a to the second 'hiragana'. But of course that's why there's an edit button!!!

**Hachiko** · Jan 18, 2004, 14:22

I like a lot of stuff about Japan: the food, the customs, the girls, the anime and manga, the music, Hachiko...everything. If I was able to take a plane to Tokyo and start a new life as a gaijin citizen, I'd seize the opportunity, no doubt. ;)

**Musoka** · Jan 19, 2004, 06:40

Mmmm...I like Traditional Japan, I have read a couple books and I find it quite interesting. the whole kabuki theater thing is quite entertaining and exciting to me...

But I also like anime and manga(since I am an otaku and a manga-ka). And I also like the people and i LOVE the culture

i like girls, culture, uniquesness, their aspect of respect and heirarchy, and also their many cool and inovative gadgets. Thats what i like about Japan

**Ahazmaksya** · Jan 23, 2004, 18:12

When I was younger I was always into the Ninjas and the fighting and what not...other countries just generally fascianted me too. One day i found out Ninjas we're from Japan and I got intersted, then I saw some anime and I enjoyed it and I found that was from japan aswell! So I started learning about it and found many other aspects of the culture that I liked, so yeh. Then I visited japan and there were some damn good times then. Now I can't get enough

Lets see...

The long version:
When I was young I got interested in Japanese culture. I don't remember why. It stayed there in the back of my mind mind for some time. I actually tried studying a little Japanese but I was too lazy I guess. Few years ago I started watching lots of anime. After that I have been interested in Japanese culture, nature, language, anime, manga, Japanese music lots of other stuff. It's strange but Japanese architecture, language and culture seem really familiar like I had lived there in some past life or something. Every time I see a picture of Japan (meaning mostly traditional Japan, not modern stuff) it's so familiar somehow.

I have a few friends too in Japan now so I want to visit them and be able to talk Japanese well.

The short version:
Japanese culture, language, customs, old houses, nature, people.
