Nope. Not into that stuff.

Pronunciation is easy. The basic alphabet (Hiragana and katakana) is easy (you could learn it in a day if you wanted). Grammar is also a lot more logical than other languages (for the most part). What is complicated is the different way of talking to people based on their "hierarchy" I guess. By that I mean how you would speak to your boss, your coworker, your mom, and your friends. Ways of speaking are very different based on that. Kanji are also a pain in the butt. You need about 1500 base kanjis to be able to read a regular Japanese newspaper. But it's not as bad as it sounds.

Not that different for the average Joe. Wake up... eat breakfast (most people eat rice, miso soup and something else like grilled salmon for breakfast..) take the train or bus to your workplace. Work (buy a bento at lunch or just bring one from your house) Perhaps have overtime and end up staying till 6 sometimes. Buy something like sweets for your waifu. Come back... rinse and repeat.

this is the average Joe's life in a Japanese workday. 

 

fun fact: all Japanese employers are required by law to pay your commute fee, even part time jobs. So you don't have to worry about the price of your train or bus tickets etc.. because they will give you something apart from your salary on top to pay that off. 

[Jeroen1322]

Are you annoyed when someone is interested in the Japanese culture? And is Japan like in the movies "Big cities, cute girls, Anime everywhere"?
?

What is the most unique/best/cool thing you can imagine that Japan has and no other country has (that you know of) ?

[hawaiims]

Do Japanese men fap often?

That's like asking me asking you if American men fap often. I wouldn't be able to tell you numbers or anything.. it's probably the same as anywhere else, and i'm not looking to research the subject by peeking into people's windows either. 

 

 

Are you a good driver?

I never drive. I cycle. But yeah... i'd say I'm a decent driver. Nothing amazing, nothing horrible.

I was asking that because I knew a 20 year-old guy from Japan who's never fapped.He either lied or he's very unfortunate.

Do people(Americans) call you Chinese a lot?

It can definitely be fun if you want to go there after college for a year or so. Finding long term job prospects as a foreigner who is not really good at Japanese may be hard though unless you're willing to go the english teacher route, which doesn't pay much (although it's more than enough if you're single and in your 20s and just want to live in Japan for a couple years) 

 

 

How interested are you in a romantic relationship?

What is your favorite Japanese food?

Just as interested in anyone else. The whole stereotype of herbivore men and whatnot is sensationalistic crap from media outlets. There is a ton of bs out there on websites like vice etc.. and even from time to time on reputable news outlets such as the BBC. Same thing with bagel heads, eyeball lickers and all that. That's complete nonsense. 

 

Yes i've been to Akihabara. I just enjoy looking at parts stores etc.. there's something cool about all the little electronic parts. Of course pc component shops are awesome as well. price however are not that cheap for most pc components. You should expect to pay a little more than the US. However the used market is very cheap just like for everything else in Japan that is used.

 

favorite Japanese food would have to be Ramen. I'm not talking about that crappy instant Ramen. I'm talking real, nice broth, tons of veggies on there, and super tender char-siu pork on there. Then eating them with gyoza (grilled dumplings) is awesome. But Japan is a food heaven anyway, so I would eat pretty much anything. Restaurants are a lot cheaper than the US, even though you don't include tips, and restaurants on average are really good while in the US the average restaurant is mediocre.
