In the Oakhouse in Kichijoji it was around 6 or 7 foreigners and around 10-12 Japanese wich was great.
And the chance that you will have alot of foreigners in a hostel will be high as well. And don´t expect to see your neigbours to much if you live in an apartment...
yeah, I guess asking souds like the best idea. I would like people around occasionally to talk to. i'll see how things turn out, but at least now I'll know what I'm looking for.

Thanks a lot.
