How to become a part of a Japanese community?

Question:

Once I met a group of 20 Chinese students, two of them became my friends, and we started having simmilar activities, we had dinner together, watched movies together, barbequeing...

How can I get a "life-style" with Japanese people? I want to belong to, a group of Japanese people... which love anime.

Answer:

Go to sites like http://www.vivinavi.com. There are message boards where Japanese people who live in states post messages to look for friends. You can post messages or contact them to meet up.
You can probably find some Japanese roommates who have another Japanese friends.
