What are your interests for Japan ?

[SkippyDaStudent85]

I almost had to check all of them!

Seriously, Japan has become my hobby since I was in 7th grade... wow

[ippolito]

I had a bad experience with a Toyota Paseo 1993....
the car was very good 170.000 but for parts I have a problem with
electrical distribuitor and had to pay about 700 us dollars to change it..
than there were some heavy scratches on the sun roof glass
Toyota Italy asked me 800 dollars for a new one...I found in a car demolition
company and paid ( I took froma broken Paseo) only 90 dollars.
I was lucky to find the same car....
Anyway I would not suggest anyone here to buy a Toyota...the car is very good
but the parts price are not so good for the consumer
Japanese cannot reach Ferrari Lamborghini and Maserati....level....

My interests in Japan are the Martial Arts, Language, Culture, Cuisine, and the friendships, Ive had with a Japanese girl through the Foreign Exchange program, She stayed at my scholl for half the year then transfered to California.

Do You practice m.a.?

i practice ma. i practice tokagure ryu ninjutsu, through an international bujinkan here in the eastern us, and american kbk kempo, i would recommend ninjutsu to anyone interested in ma. also juijutsu, grappling. although ninjutsu teaches alot of similar submission techniques.

my interests in japan encompass a large range of interests. first and formost, i have made studying japan a passion of mine for about 15 yrs now. i am an animation major, and would like to study animation at gakuin, chiyoda-ku, tokyo. second, to study togakure ninjutsu at the iga-ueno bujinkan directly under soke hatsumi. third, to play psy-trance. third, i like japanese girls.

My interests can be explained in one word... Boom.

[Tomukun]

My interest in Japan came about from first learning the language in 1995. I've been studying ever since and have been to Japan twice before. My biggest interests remain the language and the rich culture. After studying for 10 years, I just want to continue getting better and better so that I can get a job where I can use my knowledge in Japanese. I missed out on taking level 2 of the JLPT this year, but I definitely plan on doing it next year.

japan is the epitome of cool....

[Malice04]

Personally for me...it is TECHNOLOGY. cell phone, computers, pda's, dvd's, gaming consoles...etc. I mean, where else can you control almost everything in your home by a cell phone. That's what I love about Japan. and anime. lol.


Japanese technology rocks. Cheer for japanese technology

[MUZIKLUVR]

I LOVE JAPAN!!!
The land itself, the people, the music, the movies, the food, martial arts, technology, the cars, the motorcycles, language, the manga, and on and on ....

Except for one thing. Some of the current fashions. What is going on there? It looks eighties or thrift store. At least the pics I've come across representin' current fashion do. What's with the super pointy ladies shoes to? Is this really the new fad?

[jjaappaa]

I'm lost in the language. I can't wait to get back to Japan. Only 18 more days and then...Japanese TV! I love the variety shows! One Night Lock 'n' Loll!

[zero g]

I mostly like the people and culture it just seems interesting to me...
I like Ayumi Hamasaki for my favorite japanese singer and I started learning the language recently and I just would love to go to japan someday...

There is a forum called Members Introduction, feel free to post in that forum..
So flores what are your interests in Japan?

[Dekamaster]

I started out with an anime, Voltes V way back when I was a kid. I took Japanese Language (2 courses) as part of my foreign language requirement in College. I also had a Japanese Foreign Relations course, thinking I could have enough units for a minor in Japanese Studies. Too bad, I still had to take Asian History and another elective. I am interested also in their philosophies, and how they achieve haromony in nature and in personal relations.

My interest for Japan date back from my childhood with the I have my dream Japanese people are great the ones I consider friends, anyway...but then, my nepali friends are great too..I guess it's just friends that are great..
Traditional japan is very beautiful. I like to watch them . I love the precision and beauty of cha no yu.When people I included Japanese women or Japanese girls in "Japanese people arer friendship or more". I didn't want to be sexist, as there are girls and women on the forum as well. Then I guess if you're interested in Japanese girls, it's not only for sex but also for their mentality and friendship too or Japanese mentality and people in general.

[Malaika]

My interest for japan is the anime/manga of course, and then the food/people/culture, etc.

That's basically it. *shrugs*

I mean its very popular, japanese - the language I mean, and the same goes for the rest. :-P

[Rayc]

I like Japan since it is the Land of the Rising Sun and a country with soem much of old culture.

Of course, nowadays, they are more Americanised, but I like the old of culture ans the respect for elders and things like that.

[tokyobo]

I like Japan because I'm doing well here, I have a great family, and wonderful friends.
