Awesome and special I should say☆*:.。. o(≧▽≦)o .。.:*☆Therce are interesting things u do here according to the seasons... For example, hanami or cherry blossom viewing in the spring, obon festival and just hanging out at beaches in the summer, hiking while watching the autumn leaves change to orangy red yellowish color in the autumn and snowboarding or skiing during winter...They take christmas and new years seriously(eventhough they dont belong to any religion laugh.gif LOLZ) so they decorate the streets with lights and if u go to disneyland during christmas, it will look really pretty with christmas decoration(BUT the tix r really expensive!!!) anyway, i really like Spring!!!!! Everything looks so lively and colorful!! Weather is just nice too!! rclxm9.gif

It would seem pretty awesome for most Malaysians who has never went there before, no doubt. laugh.gif

But lol guys, not geographical climate, social climate as in what is the current mindset of the Japanese and how do they socialise with others (including foreigners)

Hey there cheecken!

Haha lol I just saw the word climate lol and I totally misunderstood u sorry!  rclxm9.gif Hmm if I were to talk about Japanese people`s mindset, it`ll take me a whole day to finish haha but I can say this...it varies according to which prefecture you`re in. People in Tokyo are basically like New Yorkers busy ppl...rushing everywhere not having time to even take a breath really blush.gif They come off as polite people when you first meet them, which is good but u`ll realize that they build this wall around themselves making it hard to really get to know them...it`ll take months for them to really show you their true colours sweat.gif They are just this kind of people...as how do they socialize with others, well, that too depends on what nationality you are....Ok it is for a fact that Japanese people DIG Americans like hell! They love Americans or anyone WHITE rclxub.gif Well, when it comes to us asians, they are well, ok ok only....If u listen to my podcast...u`ll hear me talk about them thoroughly from A to Z about what I think of them haha  tongue.gif  rolleyes.gif  icon_rolleyes.gif but to write it here, like I said, it`ll take me a whole day really haha

Yo thar ifana!

Like what you say, japanese have a different mindset as malaysians do. Malaysians tend to appreciate the fact that people are getting to know us and we will be very courteous to them often making long term friends if possible. But that doesn't work for them it seems.

Being the experienced TS you are, hopefully you can clear the mist of how japanese communicate especially towards foreigners, specifically malaysians.

Oh my bad...i didn't knw social can b used with climate and I just saw climate lol.

Hmmm then tell us how do they behave to us and how shld we to them. It'll help some Malaysians who wanna go there and adapt to japan tongue.gif . I'm sure the rest of their culture can b learnt once we're there.

Actually climate denotes conditions around an area for prolonged periods of time, and yes social climate is a legitimate word. Same goes to academic climate, sports climate etc.

Hi hi!!! laugh.gif

Ok, i'll try to explain as clearly as i can...basically like i mentioned before, They are only ok ok with people from other asian countries including people from malaysia. For us who are studying here, we feel like the japanese people, if they're interested to become friends they really will come and talk to u become friends with you etc etc. So sometimes we here, we start to talk to them first... Unlike people from england or america, the japanese will attack them first. Haha, as to how they talk to us is just like normal la.... They can be really friendly if u can speak japanese tongue.gif smile.gif)

JPA does provide loan for overseas studies and may be converted into scholarship if ur result is good. Just keep looking around JPA website or call them for the next application period.

For foreign studies, I think that was abolished starting from next year.
