Living in Japan as a (Young) Expat

[Uninstall]

Kanagawa, eh? that's kinda close... (well not too close) to my home! im at Chichibu, Saitama

Haha actually I'd be quite far away from you; actually Kanazawa in Ishikawa-Ken.
Later moved to Daikanyama area, Meguro.. It's an expat area, many people that work in the embassies located in Meguro live in or around the residency Shinagawa areas (Ebisu, Gotanda, etc....) , but now my home is the Netherlands, and maybe for a long time it will be; I don't really see myself returning to Japan to live.. Maybe in the far future (´・ω・｀*)

I think so.... The true calling for your life can came from any where, right?
Oh.. Yeah.. About that University scholarship that I ask to you? Already got some info on that, man?
Well.. no need to rush... but if you already got some info about it.. don't forget to tell me..

[MENTION=18465]renano[/MENTION] ojou sama Hmm running away together... sounds quite very romantic xD Btw the apple not falling far from the tree actually has a genetic basis cuz genetics has some influence on your personality so that might be why someone similar to their parents and everything :3

Hmm being on time xD Im usually a minute or so late to everything :x So much for living there... but actually... my friends are much later than meh usually =.= Is the traffic is japan bad or the train/metro just faster?

 

[renano]

[MENTION=8332]samyeung46[/MENTION]

Oh... Would you do the same if that ever occurred to you?


If I recall... most ride the trains... due to its convenience. (You know... there's an anime about those subways except they appear human... bishies...) ^^

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Hmm running away? i might

Sounds like hetali or whatever that was with trains xD

 

[renano]

I believe you won't run away~ You need a very good 'push' to do so~

Not as random or funny as Hetalia, but good enough to satisfy my bishie craving~

To stay on topic~

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Well my parents probably wont arrange a marriage so i probably wont need to~ But if they ever do... depend if theres someone else i had liked already... would probably be enough of a push~

Lol bishie craving xD hmm i dont have that atm~ dont seem to have as much craving as other guys~

Pushing to get in xD Well too crowded~ Empty trains here usually as i said before somewhere~

 

[renano]

And what is the result of that 'push' if I may ask?

Probably because you're pretty 'new' in the anime world~ You'll 'feel' or 'crave' something... whether it's a genre, certain music, etc. over time~

Some people still take the trolleys where I live~ Japan is pretty dependent on their railway system.

Contribute a video Sam to stay on topic of the thread~

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Ehh well... i think ill live :x However difficult or not it might get...

Hmm well i might be a bit too neutral to have much of a crave~

The public transport here... people need a car if they ever feel like leaving the city otherwise its difficult...

A video.... :x I guess ill go find something

 

[renano]

Any stories to contribute then... in relation to holidays/ceremonies/festivities that corresponds to Japan?

Any 'cravings' for Japanese food then?

Any suggestions for transportation in regard to Japan?

/me wait for video.

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Hmm theres that japanese tea garden around here but i dont think they know the difference between chinese and japanese half the time...

Ehh had sushi and stuff before~ I dont really crave it though ;3

Well idk :x dont know too much about japan.... that i can rely on...

Does this work?

 

[Vietx2k]

I just started reading and im at the part how to properly sit down. Aiya.... holy crap xD i have i guess.... people say i have massive calf muscle and it doesnt help at all xD. Ill finish it later though :3 great read.

 

[renano]

Tea... I grew up with more Chinese influence though... Jasmine~

Japan still has those tea ceremonies~

Hmm... have not once eaten sushi~

Police ride on horses as well around here~ Maybe Pachi can discuss about the police/law enforcement or something...

Hmm... good enough for a video...

Sitting... Good to be respectful.

Hahaha well at least you have the right ideas of what it's like, overall it's a lot more fun if you're prepared, I think culture shock is what ruins the experience for many foreigners.
