going at the end of the year. got a Japaneses friend to take us around Tokyo. only can afford about 1 week there. =(
i studied in osaka for almost 10 months.. didn't want to come back to the states.. i couldn't find a job and was running low on cash so i had no other choice.. it was worth the experience.. for all you guys who are worried about spending a lot of money, just don't think about it so much..(if you really have no money then i guess you gotta save) once you get there you're going to have the time of your life.. because you can worry about paying off the money later.. i didn't even have money and i just took out loans.. at least i got something to remember and look back on when i think about how much fun i had with friends i made who lives on the other side of the world when i was in japan... that's more important to me.. i don't know if anyone else thinks the same as i do..
hehehe~ been once and it was shorter than DragonK550i's experience... 2hrs!! damn stopover flight... it was so attempting to juz run out hehehe! got plans to go end of this year with a few friends... think the plan so far is to hit the slopes and hot springs in Hokkaido... tourist stuff in Osaka... and then shop and party in Tokyo... CANT WAIT!! -woot2 the only downside is the expense... gonna have to save up badly after the trip~
Can't wait to visit Japan. It sounds so good, so much to do to see. Could easily spend months there if i have the money
LOVE japan!!! the culture and the politeness of the people is prolly the best in the world!! jus makes you wantto go back...
^ go there for a year then and work like an ordinary person, you'll see its hard work like any other place. any place on 'Holiday' is nice making you want to go back.
I haven't been to Japan but it's been a dream for me to go someday. I plan on owning a nice house there someday if when I go there I find it exactly as how I think it is to live there. XD I would love going to the countryside or mountainous regions of Japan when I visit!
I did go to Japan, just this past summer~! ♥♥♥ I went with my best friend, and we were there for 12 days. Had an amazing hotel in Shiba, and we had her amazing pen-pal (whom visited us first in Canada during grade 11 at our high school) show us around! It would've been rather confusing and scary without her. We got to see and do a lot with her guidance, and she was sooo kind and cute. >3< Homg. Our purpose, other than on a fun whim, was to go to A-Nation 2008! We ended up being sent tickets by my friend's pen-pal, and they were for Aichi, Nagoya. Kind of far from our hotel (which we definitely found out...) but it was WORTH IT, OH BABY~. ♥ We saw our favorite artist LIVE (Dong Bang Shin Ki), as well as our other well-adored musicians! We went for DBSK, Koda Kumi, AAA, and Namie Amuro, but I honestly LOVEEED every performance. It was my first asian concert. My friend saw S.K.I.N. at Anime Expo the year previous, but I think A-Nation was still her all-time favorite. :3 It was so epiccccc. ;~~; I miss Japan so much. I don't think I could move there permanently... but I'd LOVE to live there for the winter or something. Or spring. Some season. But yah. GREAT country to see! It's so gorgeous... n_____n
