Thank you for fast answer. In fact, I just want to go there for a few months (2-4 months) to make some research. It's Japan, because my PhD adviser has very good connections to a very good, famous japanese professor who is doing mostly the same research than we do. And for one chapter of my PhD work, it would be helpful and interesting to go there and work with this japanese workgroup.
As I said, I'm just afraid of the situation, not to be able to communicate. So, it's true that the students learn english in school and at university, but they can't do almost no small talk or something else ? At first, I just want to know about the situation at the university :-)
