Is japan still in ruins?

Question:

also did they fix the radiation problem?

Answer:

First off, MOST OF JAPAN, the VAST MAJORITY of Japan wasn't destroyed, nor was it affected by the tsunami. The major areas encompass the coastal regions of northeastern Japan, they are still working to rebuild, and it will take years.

The rest of Japan, the vast majority of Japan is fine and operating in an almost normal condition, given the circumstances.

Can you translate this message from Japanese to English?

Question:

I just received this message on twitter from a musician.. can someone tell me what it says? My japanese itself isn't bad but my kanji/hiragana/katakana is horrible.

"隣にいるのが当たり前やから。2人のギターが鳴っているというのがもう当たり前…

Answer:

The poster seems to have Kansai dialect, it should be:

隣にいるのが当たり前だから。　
Because it's natural that they (those duo guitar players) are/sit/play together,
二人のギターが鳴っているというのがもう当たり前になっているから、
As it also came natural to them that their guitars sound well-harmonized,
逆に相手のことをいい意味であまり考えていないというか。
they even seem not to bother each other.

*いい意味で（言えば）お互いのことをあまり考えていない
--> if two people have known each other (been working together) for a long time, they don't care/bother each other, like an old couple. That could be similar sense the poster wanted to describe.
*...というか: slang when you give your opinion such as "something like that" "seems like" "kinda"

Student visa in japan with dui felony?

Question:

is it possible to get a student visa to study abroad in japan with a dui felony?

Answer:

First, the following link provides answers to a question very similar to yours. Maybe they will be food for thought.....

http://ask.metafilter.com/59526/Getting-…

A phone call to the Japanese Embassy might answer your question, but there is always the chance that they will ask YOU some questions, one of the worst being your name. But they are the one with the answer.

If you say 'no' to the question of previous criminal records, well....

1- If they catch it during the screening process I think you have a snowball's chance in Hades of getting visa approval.

2- If for some reason they find out after you are in Japan, I expect you would find yourself in a jail cell waiting to be deported.

I'm sorry, but I think your question is one that nobody on this forum can answer definitively. In my opinion it is possible. Just depends on how the immigration officer is feeling the day he reviews your application.

Are Japanese people racist?

Question:

If they are, why? And I heard they don't like any other race but theirs .. (Not what I said I heard it's true)

Answer:

This question gets asked a lot, if I had a yen for every time this question is asked, I could quit my day job.

In Japan you WON'T:
-Get hanged/killed because your skin color is different.
-Have to sit at the back of the bus because your skin color is different.
-Be denied service at most mainstream establishments because your skin color is different.

How many stories do you hear about someone getting killed in Japan because someone didn't like that they were from another country? How many stories of race riots between Japanese people and foreigners? How many stories of Japanese version of skinheads going out killing foreigners? Haven't heard stories about that in Japan.

Now think about your home country right now and how much of that stuff happens in your own country.

In every country you have people who are like this, depends on who you run into. Tell me any country that doesn't have racist or elements of racism in it's subculture. Even in great USA you got large amounts of racism. Depends on who you run into.

For the most part, as long as you don't act like a fool while in Japan, people won't treat you like a fool.

Do I need a round trip ticket to Japan with a work Visa?

Question:

I am an American with a valid work visa for Japan but I can not find any information on if I need a round trip ticket or not.
I know that those entering the country with no visa/student visa need one, but what about work visa?
Thank you!

Answer:

ALL foreigners, regardless of which Visa they carry, are required to present return airfare documentation to the Immigration officials when traveling TO Japan.
The date of return doesn't matter as long as it is a return ticket.
This is a measure to keep illegal foreign immigrants to a minimum.

Advice on using a language exchange program?

Question:

I've always known about these, but I never really considered joining one until recently. I want to learn Japanese, and I've been to websites where someone wants to learn english and will "exchange" their language-they'll teach japanese, and I would teach them english.

I see that these websites could be really helpful in my learning of this language, but I'm not sure I'd be a good study partner. Even though I speak english(my native tongue), I'm not sure if I can *teach* english very well. I was always nervous I couldn't be a very good english teacher. Has anyone else had this problem/conflict? I'd appreciate your thoughts and tips. Thank you! :)

Answer:

You could go to lang-8. It's a a language exchange developed in Kyoto. You write a diary of your day, or anything really in the language you are learning, and other people correct it. Then you can correct the grammar and answer questions based on your own language. It's also a good way to make friends.

Guide on moving to Japan にほん てんじゅう?

Question:

I have finally decided that I will move to the land of the rising sun. It has always been my dream to move to japan, I feel like I was meant to live there. I live in England and to be honest there is nothing wrong with where I live but I just think I would much better prefer the culture and customs of japan.

I have started to learn japanese and I can now construct words in hiragana and recognise japanese speech but of course it won't end here, its just the beginning ^^ Any tips on learning japanese?

I am 17 and I understand how hard it is to get citizenship or permanent residence and understand that ill need a degree if I'm to find work: I have no idea what I want to do when I'm older... Any ideas of what to study to find a decent job in japan? (apart from teaching... I already know about that)

I want to buy a house there too and maybe able to pay for the house upfront without a loan. Any places that are ideal to live in (inside tokyo) that are safe and cheap?

Do I have to watch out for racism and discrimination? " im already aware of the "no foreigner signs" ^^

How long will it take to acquire residency, what challenges will I face?

What kind of salary should I belooking to earn if I want to live comfortably and afford shopping and gaming and other leisure activities? ^^

Any thing else I should know?

Answer:

Here's an idea. When you turn 18 you can go there on a working holiday visa. You can stay there up to a year on that. This would give you enough time to decide if you like it or not.
Then you can return to England & get your degree.
Tokyo is the hardest place to find work there. But you never know. Nothing in Tokyo is cheap. A friend of mine was paying almost $800 a month for a small studio apartment.
There are few no gaijin signs these days. You have to be there for at least 5 years to get a permanent resident card. Citizenship is much harder .
It's all possible. Stay in school and do the best you can.

How much percent tax does Japan have?

Do the Japanese enjoy having Americans in Japan?

Question:

In the future I would like to go to Japan. But, I was wondering if the Japanese enjoy having Americans over there, or if they dislike it. Please let me know.

Answer:

Wow, there seems to be a lot more racism on this board than there is in Japan.

I have lived in Japan for over 4 years now, and I can honestly say that most Japanese are not particularly racist. In big cities like Tokyo and Osaka they see lots of foreigners, and you'll be pretty much ignored, the same way you would at home. In smaller places, they don't see many foreigners, and it is true that some young kids will point and stare - but that's just because they are surprised, intrigued and in some cases a bit scared maybe. Even some adults will stare, but they are generally not doing it intentionally. You are there and you are different, so their eyes naturally go to you.

In my experience (something most people here don't seem to have), Japanese people are generally kind to a fault - provided you are a decent, respectful human being. You'll be fine. In fact, I am confident you'll be more than just fine - you'll love it.

Japanese exchange program?

Question:

I want to do an exchange when I'm about 16 or 17 (I'm only 14). I live in Canada Ontario. So I need a good exchange program that is for Canada. A lot of sites were only for Americans (ugh :P c’mon people, Canadians want to go to other places too!) Something that is YEARLONG and I go to a Japanese Co-ed high school, and I stay with a host family. The price can’t be a lot. Like I don’t know how much a lot would be for this, but I don’t need to go to some high class high school for the rich! I just want to go to a normal Japanese high school where most normal Japanese teens go. I don’t think one where we do a switch with the host family would be a good thing. So it would just be me going to japan and not having the host families son or daughter go to Canada and live with my family. We had a Korean girl stay with my family a couple years ago and it didn’t turn out too well. My dad didn’t like her very much (she was a spoiled brat, pretty much. She was rude to everyone. My family would say no anyways :P haha bad experience). So, if someone could tell me a good exchange program is, and has the requirements that I need, that would be perfect! :D Maybe some to avoid that aren’t very good. What do you think is the cheapest price I can get? What is the most this trip would cost. How much money would I have to bring for my own spending money? Any tips? Haha, thanks! :D

Answer:

Try Rotary! :) There are rotary clubs all over the world, just try to find the one closest to you. They find a family for you, pay for your school, take you on trips, and even give you a monthly allowance. All you have to pay for really is your plane ticket, a visa and passport, and insuarance! :)

Is it true that most Filipinos are kind of crazy about Japan, but most Japanese think Filipinos are inferior?

Question:

Well, like, I know that there is no exact right or wrong answer, but based on your own personal experiences and insight, what do you think?

Answer:

It's my personal theory:

When Japanese economy was very good and that of Philippine was bad, many Filipino came to Japan as illegal immigrant. It once became social problems.
For most Japanese people, most of Filipinos they have met in their life are illegal immigrant.
These illegal immigrant tend to work on sort of "low end job" or even "illegal job"; including hostes at pubs and prostitution.
I guess it's one reason that make Japanese people tend to consider Filipinos are inferior.

Plus, most Japanese feel Filipinos are "good people" as a person, even he/she is illegal immigrant.
They tend not to cause serious crimes, compared with illegal immigrants came from other nations.
In this real world, "good people" tend to be treated less emphasized.

How do you say "hotels" in Japanese?

Question:

And how is "hotels" written in Japanese letters?

Answer:

In Japanese, so you say ホテル, which is hoteru in Japanese, which is just the Japanese saying of "hotel".

In Japanese you would not say "hotels" with an "s" because they do not use plural nouns in Japanese.

If a black girl goes Japan will japanese people stare in weardness, what will there reaction be?

Question:

I would love to go japan to go school or just to visit?
But im thinking.
If i do take school there or what ever will people be racist or just be freaked out and kinda not talk to me??
Or just be normal about it?

Answer:

I had two female African American female friends (they are sisters) visit Japan for almost two weeks, they had a fantastic time and want to come back ASAP.

I knew another lady from Canada who was working in an office here on a working holiday visa, never heard any complaints from her.

People in Japan will not kill you for being black, you won't be beat up for being black, service will be provided when needed, you won't be required to sit at the back of the bus, or use the "colored only" toilets...

There are crazies in every country of the world, these people are generally a small minority that keep the fires burning. I cannot guarantee that there might be a silly person out there that might say something, but for the most part, I know people who have had wonderful times in Japan and they are black females. It's the same thing, where I don't think you can guarantee that a Japanese person coming to America will not face racism. For the most part, most of the time, people come and have an enjoyable trip without problems.

They aren't going to "Freak out" I mean what do you mean? You aren't the first black person to ever step foot in Japan.

Act respectful, don't be a fool in public and most people will treat you the same.

-----

>>"If you can't speak the language( which I am guessing you can't) there is no way you will go to school there. "<<

Not true, they can:
1. Attend a university that teaches in English (Eg. Temple University Japan, half the students there are Japanese but instruction is done in English), other universities have classes that are for international students, exchange students etc, International Christian University (ICU) for example and Keio University has an international program for speakers of English.

2. There are graduate programs that are also taught in English in Japan.

3. They attend as a student at a Japanese language school.

When did Britain and Japan meet?

Question:

around what year did Britain and Japan 'discover' each other?

Answer:

It's not a simple one date in history encounter and it also depends on what you mean by "discover".

Britain and all of Europe knew about Japan long before Will Adams' arrival in Japan in 1600. They knew it from the Portuguese who in 1543 were the first westerners to find the way to Japan, but kept the navigation directions a state secret. The "rudder" which is the term for the maritime log which contained navigational data on how to get to a place was stolen or copied by the Dutch.

From the stolen rudder information, the Dutch set out for Japan and Adams was an Englishman working for the Dutch as a ship's pilot on board on of the ships in a fleet sent to Japan.

Adams shipwrecked in Japan 1600, but he was not able to send any letters to communicate with Britain until 1611, so until his letters reached England as far as anyone in Britain was concern, Adams was dead or missing.

In 1613, the first English ship arrived in Japan with the first official diplomatic and trades mission from Britain.

So take your pick.

What exactly is a japanese Geisha...?

Question:

I saw a movie called "Memories of a geisha" and searched online
are they really prostitutes or something?

Answer:

"Memoirs of a Geisha" is a work of fiction written by a white man whose access to the geisha world was limited at best and who turned to Orientalism and Western fantasies about geisha to sell his book. Geisha are highly-trained artists and entertainers who spend their working lives studying and perfecting several Japanese arts, including dancing, singing, playing instruments, and tea ceremony (you might also hear people mention things like flower arranging and calligraphy, but I'm not so convinced that those are essential geisha skills). At parties they provide entertainment, have lively conversations with guests, and play games. People who regularly hire geisha and maiko (apprentices) are fully aware that they are NOT buying sex or even the chance for sex, and while a geisha might make the choice to sleep with a client for some reason sex is not part of the typical bargain and most guests will be going home at the end of the night.

In the past, geisha were legally barred from selling sex because of fears that it would take work away from the actual courtesans and prostitutes. Of course, just because something is illegal doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Many geisha who worked at hot springs resorts also sold sex, and it is highly likely that at least a few geisha who worked in places like Kyoto sold sex too for whatever reason. And of course mizuage was a sexual thing back then (these days it's just a nice dinner and a change of hairstyle for the maiko), but that is because a virgin geisha was seen to be as odd as a virgin wife. The simple fact of the matter is that geisha as a group have never been defined as prostitutes in Japanese culture, and it is also important to keep in mind that Japan and the Western world often have very different views on sex. Personally, I don't think a single act of selling sex (like mizuage) is enough to make someone a prostitute, and I don't think a few people selling sex is enough to make an entire profession one of prostitution. Geisha are now and have always been first and foremost high-class entertainers and artists.

Ryokan apartment in Japan?

Question:

Hi I am looking for a ryokan style apartment in Japan. Tatami mat floors, the sliding doors. Max 70,000 yen a month and pet friendly. I have found a couple but I would like some more choices. Any recommendations?
(please don't answer if you haven't been there or don't know what I am talking about!)

Answer:

Ryokan is one style of hotel. We do not say "ryokan apartment" in Japan.

If you want to rent a Japanese style apartment, there are millions in Japan. But few of them are pet-friendly.

And you must have a visa to move to Japan first of all.

Description about tsunami in japan,?

Question:

effects

Answer:

The height of the tide exceed 75 feet (at Ofunato city), and the water reached to 130 feet altitude (at Miyako City.) It was far greater than any imagination. They are not prepared for that big tsumani. About 16,000 confirmed death and another 5,000 people are still missing. Nuclear power plants lost its all electricity and control, it's still out of control. Many small and medium-sized manufacturing factories got serious damages, and it impacted even big companies like Toyota, which locate in non-damaged area, to halt their production for several months. The tsunami was caused by the earthquake, but tsunami caused far more damage than tsunami. Buildings and facilities are mostry prepared for big earthqueke but not ready for that big tsunami.

How to use US iphone 4 for JP softbank?

Question:

Answer:

You need to get the phone unlocked. I know AT&T won't do it for you, and I highly doubt Verison will either, which means you'll need to do it yourself (and thus void your warranty). However, it can only be done on certain radio versions (if you've updated your phone in the last year or so, you're probably out of luck)

Is this just to add drama in japanese manga/drama or is it true?

Question:

So I noticed that in many drama and manga the guy or the girl is required to marry a guy/girl her/his parents picked. I was wondering if this kind of stuff still happens in Japan. I know not everything in manga/drama is true and sometimes things are added to create more drama.
So I was wondering about this fact.

Please help.

Thanks!

Answer:

Not the way I am interpreting what you are saying. But there are still omiai, more of an arranged meeting with the idea of marriage being considered. Even though the parents are at this meeting, the couple is supposedly left alone for a while and the final decision is still supposedly up to the couple. One site says this is common. It's not something that I generally inquire about with people I know so I don't know really how common it is.

Proper use of 申し訳....(details)?

Question:

I'm always confused by these phrases
Moushiwakearimasen (申し訳ありません）<-this one is polite, and most commonly used?
moushiwakemasen (申し訳ません<-is this one even grammatically correct to use???
or moushiwakegozaimasen (申し訳ございません）<-is this the one that's most polite?

I know what it means, I just can't seem to get when it is proper to use one or the other.

Answer:

I would use「申し訳ありません」
「申し訳ございません」should be more polite, but sounds too much or diplomatic (to me)

How traditional are the Japanese?

Question:

Most of the cultures in Asia are somewhat 'old-fashioned' in a sense that they live in joint families after marriages, women become housewives, it is inappropriate to expose cleavage or legs and it is inappropriate to express their opinions very openly (in some countries one could go to jail), celebrating festivals in traditional clothing, doing the arranged marriage thing etc etc. If you live in Japan and are a foreigner do you get to feel many times that the Japanese are somewhat 'old-fashioned' and 'traditional' or more modern or same?

Answer:

I think you got a good point as a female foreigner who observes Japan, except for mixed-up wording "traditional" "old-fashioned" when describing what you have seen in Japan. I would call some of them "conservative" And at least I must say "celebrating festivals in traditional clothing" is not really "old-fashioned" or "conservative", but it's only a part of culture based on a long history. In Europe, especially East European countries, folklore is quite famous as you know very well. They wear "old-fashioned" clothes, too. The only difference is that you see it Western style.

However, I agree with your view of Japan women. As you go farther in to the suburbs, you will find more conservative.

There are so many things that are considered as a taboo for Japanese women.
e.g. If you (as a woman) say “tut, tut!” (tongue-clucking) in front of people, it'd be a bad thing (manner).
Especially when it comes to 'marriage', or 'after marriage', there are so much 'invisible pressure' coming from obligations for women, and you would feel stressed by being a woman that men would not realize.
e.g. One of the funny episodes I heard from my friend (a Japanese woman born in Canada):
When she got married to a Canadian, she made sure if her husband wouldn't mind if she didn't get up earlier (than him) to make breakfast. He said he wouldn't care. And she kept her own habit (she's weak for morning while her husband is an earlybird.). One day her parents visited them and stayed over. The next morning they got surprised to see her doing 'nothing' for her husband. She was 'questioned' by her parents very seriously... (this is a story happening in Canada)

This has been seriously bugging me for weeks. I was in a hotel at Disney World and the TV was terrible, so I just watched some Japanese channel. There was some show/movie that came on that was live action. The main character seemed to be some spikey and orange/blonde haired guy with super powers. He could like turn into stuff. And I think he was a prince of some nether world from the looks of it. He had three people that looked like they were sucking up to him. One was obviously a vampire and another was a Frankenstein guy. I don't know the other one. But they got sent to the real world or something.
