Also, I knew some exchange student over there, and their host families tended to be VERY protective. They couldn't stay out late, go places unless it was supervised, etc. The host family would feel very ashamed if anything happened to their student, so they watched them carefully. As a teacher, though, I lived on my own, no host family, and I could go where I want, travel around Japan, do what I want, etc as long as I showed up for school and taught the classes I was supposed to teach. I had much more freedom.
I understand, but if someone like you were to take in a student, that would make their experience so much more worth while.......lol

I visited Japan when I was 16, and then lived there for a few years in my early 20s. Definately a different experience, but both were very valuble.

So you moved back from Japan? What was it like living there?

When I visited I was in Chiba, near Tokyo, and when I lived there I was in a town between Osaka and Kobe.

I`ll have lived here for 10 years this coming March. I first came over here when I was 17.
Japan isn`t a magical land of happiness. It isn`t the answer to anyone`s problems either, no matter what people seem to think. (Not saying that directly to anyone in this thread. Just... Well, browse through other threads and that seems to be the impression way too many people have.)

It`s a place, just like any other place, with good and bad. In 10 years, I`ve never experienced any problems due to not being Japanese - but enough people apparently have for it to be considered an issue. I have to wonder exactly what a lot of those people were doing at the time that they had a problem, as 99% of the time if you speak Japanese and behave like a Japanese person would in the same situation, you won`t have any trouble.
