Hi everyone !
Name: Marine Coming to you from: France First Breath: May 24th 1992 My intentions: Intending high school in England (London) and living in Japan or Korea. I'm a globetrotter I love travelling ! I want to be a teach in one of these country. Not only because it's an easily reachable job, but because I love languages (I'm able to speak 5 languages) Why do you want to go to Japan: I've already been in Japan. First, let's clear up things, I don't like manga or anime ! :exballoon: (I used to watch anime when I was 11, but I don't like Japan for Hello Kitty) And yet, I like drawing anime girls (don't ask me why, I'm just weird :p ) I love Japan for its beautiful cities and landscapes ! I love japanese food, cooking japanese food, and so on ! Bye bye ^,^/ |

Coming to you from: US & A First Breath: December 6, 1986 intentions and whatnot: I'm trying to learn Japanese all by my lonesome, and I figured if I need some pointers I can come here and there's enough fellow geeks to get my back. why do you want to go to japan: It's just something I've always wanted to do. When I was like 5 Seaseme Street had a special called "Big Bird Goes to Japan", and ever since I've decided I'm going. It won't be anytime soon, but in the meantime I plan on learning as much as I can. |

Introduction
Hi there! I'm Andy and I love Japan! I went on a trip to Japan this past August and loved it so much that I decided to go back. I'm hoping to go back to Japan to teach English in about a year and a half. Since then, I've been using Rosetta Stone to learn Japanese. It's much harder than I thought it would be!
I graduated from Washington State University in 2007 with a degree in elementary education. While doing my student teaching, I realized that teaching children wasn't something I was ready to devote myself to, so after I graduated, I got a job working at a winery. It turns out they wanted people with Elementary Education degrees! :D If you would like to get to know me better, please feel free to reply to this post! Name: Andy Coming to you from: Pasco, Washington State, USA First Breath: April 4, 1984 Intentions: To get to know Japanese people and others with an interest in Japan Why do you want to go to Japan: To learn more about Japanese culture |

Heya and ようこそ Can I just say, you like the Rosetta stone :eek: I have never heard of anyone rating it for Japanese. Have a look around and see what other people use if you are finding that too difficult, there is lots of choice out there. Where abouts in Japan did you visit? I also want to go and teach in Japan, waiting to hear back from the JET Programme right now! Unlike you I am loving the teaching modules I am studying in my Undergrad degree and my time spent volunteering in elementary (and now upper) schools |
Quote:
I was in Osaka for most of the time, but I spent a little time in Kyoto too. How is JET? They were the ones I was thinking of getting involved with. I've heard they pay the best and treat you the best. Haha, teaching just wasn't something I was prepared to do three years ago. I guess I hadn't grown up enough yet. How are you enjoying your teaching experience? |
Hello from a JP newbie
Hi guys,
I am new here in JF. Just want to say Konnichiwa and Dozo yoroshiku!! I have browsed around for a bit and found quite a lot of friendly helpful people here which prompted me to join. I have just returned from Japan last Sunday. It was my third visit to the land of the rising sun now, but I still enjoyed every moment of it as if it was my first time. I went to Tokyo for 3 weeks in August 2008, 3 more weeks in Kobe in July 2009 and 2 and half weeks in Osaka this time. Had an amazing time, loved the Japanese food and can not wait to get back. As a matter of fact, I will be heading back to Japan in April if all goes well for 1 year to study Japanese at a Language school full time, so that is something to look forward to :) Hope you all are having a wonderful 2010! :D |

And many other reasons, but I think you got the point :) Favourite manga/anime: Naruto, Gintama, Kekkaishi, Slam Dunk, Rookies and many others. Favourite band: Ulfuls.

Name: KyyO (Yup I put an extra "y" in there to kind of make it more unique from the usual Kyo.). Real name is Kevin though :D
Coming to you from: USA First Breath: January 11, 1990 intentions and whatnot: I would like to get to meet all of the people here that share common interests. I'm a big fan of Japanese & Korean music, even though I'm of Laotion/Thai descent. It's been a while since I've done any online networking but it's never to late to start. Hope to see everyone around and get to know you all! why do you want to go to japan: I would like to go to Japan because the culture is very unique. I love the overall culture because it's similar to how my culture is but only different. Japan is also excelling in technology, and I also happen to be a technology guru doing Information Technology and Networking. Hopefully I will be able to land a job over there and be able to have all of my common interests in one place. Japanese is also a very beautiful language when compared to some of the other languages, but that's my opinion. |

Hello! I'm Mona. A 20-year-old Arab girl. I'm a third year at Uni, studying linguistics and the translation between English and Arabic. I'm self-studying Japanese.
Interests: linguistics, religion, philosophy, music, drawing, spirituality, dreams, dream interpreting, etc. I'm also very interested in the cultures of East Asia, especially the Japanese culture. Hopefully, I will be good at Japanese oneday, and travel to Japan with my mum, as I've promised her before. I'm about to be a published writer. The main character is an Arab girl, and there's an absent central character who is a Korean. I've made a small interaction between three cultures in my novel; the Arabic culture, the American culture, and the Korean culture. Not telling you the story now, but hope you will hear about it, or read it, when it's translated to English, or Japnese, or Korean, etc. ^^ Regards. |

Original art/music
Hello! Just joined your server. So far the community look strong. I live in the South Eastern region of the States and commit most of my time to either work/school/or music. Many different influences are seen amongst my art and right now I have about 30+ different genres influencing my music. Most of my music and art is at Silent Objections if you were curious. Anyways, I drive a 1989 Toyota Supra and spend a good bit of time shooting photography with the local "drifters". I look forward to expanding my horizons with the new cultural interests I have with Asia.
