Thx ! Im considering of living with those for 5 days trip in Tokyo on shoe-string budget

it seems,many got the chances to fly to Japan...
mind to share,what is the process takes to be eligible to fly to Japan?...
does the Japanese Government still implementing the strict thingy policies?...

It had always been the same

Full list of requirements --> http://www.my.emb-japan.go.jp/English/visit.htm#visa

Will be signing up to go to fukken Japan to teach them the joys of saying "Motherf***errrr" without the lame accent and also to remind them about the joys of Dental work. But not Tokyo, some shitty city called Takatsuki.

Thank God for Uni cultural exchange programs.

That's in Osaka! Awesome megacity just like Tokyo

Nice. Need a break from Toowoomba.

Are there any dont's of Jap society, like laughing at their accents or their teeth?

there's more dont's than do's over here

cool. i just came back actually from AJF (Australia Japan Foundation) exchange
had a diff time (but joyful) talking to my fellow japanese contacts...
a lot of time, i dun think they'll realise that you're laughing at them! but try not to mate, japanese have a lot of issues on "gaijin" (foreigners or ppl not from that place)


on the other hand, i think Revoltech Expo 08 is coming soon?

Always did figure them as racist and xenophobic, they're pretty unsocial bastards in Uni, maybe it's because when waiting outside the ELICOS block for Eng Mat lectures, i pull my eyelids and do my best "i am jap" impersonation. It's a wonder why they've never reported me to the Uni's anti discrimination council . Bah, even if i don't insult them, they're pretty unsocial. Tip taken, don't sleep with any of them or try to.

I'm going because i'm getting a free holiday which is the envy of weaboos in Malaysia. Plus they even give me money to teach em japs engrish.

dude, watch your language. i dont think there are many japanese in this forum but japs is highly offensive.and i don't think they are and more or less racist than we are. yes, i hafta admit that most of them are rather unsocial but that's cause i think the culture here has made them this way. but once u get to know them, they're rather nice.

Don't use your cellphone in trains or subways, especially nearby seats for elderly/handicapped passengers

*lol i typed that almost like the announcements in the JR trains*

huahaha..bro, for the 1st time today, I got a Hibiya Line to Ginza..then I sat on the 'priority seats' and you know what...(yeah SMSing its ok!?) got 2 obachan beside me scolding the people in front of us bout using a keitai huahaha...I know that obachan 'marah' the fellow because she raise her voice..huhuhu...garang jugak ye!

Japan ppl kuat Moral mar...inside train cannot talk loud and talk on phone

I might go there tomorrow for the show

When I first time came to Japan, I also kena from an uncle

He told me in English, "PSP... sound... close!" and points to the warning sticker at the train window
