I really want to go to japan someday, but I want to know what I should know before I go there, apart from learning japanese, is there anything else i should know? Things like "don't do this.. because this will offend...." or "do this before you..."or "never do..." or "always..." or "never go there..."etc,etc, you get the gist right? any suggestions appreciated. thanks in advance! :D
Answer:
I also want to go to Japan, but I'm going there to teach (eventually lol). My friend who has visited and lived there several times told me to google this African-American guy who went over there several years ago to teach. It's like a diary/journal; it is hilariously funny and gives insight on how it is to live in Japan and what you should expect. Here's a link if you're interested in reading his experiences ( http://classic.dryang.org/japanese/index… )

Should Japanese encourage immigration?
Question:
Japan is facing a HUGE population decline! In the next 25 years, there will be a lot of elderly and not enough young workers to support them. Do you think they should open the gate to let more Chinese people come into the country? Do you think they will have time to come up with sophisticated robotic surgeons by 2050? More and more people speak Chinese in Tokyo, such as in major train stations. In a near future, perhaps everybody will speak Mandarin in Tokyo...
Answer:
Well, I don't think Japan "should" encourage Chinese immigration. Why does it have to be Chinese? If Japan decides to encourage immigration, much discussion is needed as to which race we will invite. Chinese is not the only race in the world.
But it's the fact that Chinese is the race which marks the highest increase as a group of foreigners in the last 20 years. There were about 200,000 of them in Japan in 1990. But now they are about 700,000. This is the highest increase.
And I think we will have more and more of them in the future no matter Japanese people like it or not as China is very close to Japan and has more than 1B people.
We can already see many Chinese working at a convenience store in Tokyo.
What is a city/town that is close to Tokyo, but still has that "Classic Japan" feel?
Question:
My family and I are in the beginning process of planning a vacation and we are exploring our options. Feel free to recommend other ideas.
Answer:
I do recommend "Kamakura" located some 50km south west of Tokyo or less than one hour train ride from Central Tokyo. This city has tons of sights either temples and shrines, beautiful gardens,
a beautiful beach. Enosima Island, many many restaurants, souvenior shops.
The train fare is 890en one way from the central Tokyo Stn to Kamakura stn.

More information on Japanese Citizenship?
Question:
I've heard that you have to renounce to your native citizenship
Is it true?
Because i have also come to the knowledge that USA doesn't let you renounce your citizenship?
What happens then?,What if I want to go back to the USA later for a better job or something?
What about my children?If they like the idea of living in the USA can I make them citizens?
**Another thing, what if you were born in USA but your parents come from another country and you have citizenship by them to that country too?Do you have to renounce to both citizenships?Or just your native one?How do they know whats your native citizenship?
Thank You!!
Answer:
1. CALM DOWN
2. Yes you have to renounce your citizenship to the Japanese government. However the Japanese government has no way to independently verify that you did or did not.
It is quite simple, say "YES" you will, but then don't do it. There's no way for them to verify.
If you are extremely worried bout it, then don't take on Japanese citizenship. Nothing says you need Jpanese citizenship to live in Japan.
3. The US does allow you to renounce your citizenship if you do it willingly and freely. The US will not accept it, if someone made you do it even if you don't want to do it.
4. If you are a US citizen and have kids, your kids are automatically US citizens too.
5. If you were born in the USA but your parents were from another country, you could have citizenship of that other country if you claim it, but it depends, each country has different laws. They (the Japanese government) will know what citizenship you have, because you had to use a Passport to enter Japan.
6. Nothing says you need Japanese citizenship to live in Japan. You could be a permanent resident.
Why is curry so popular in Japan?
Question:
I noticed that Japanese people eat a lot of curry. How did it come to Japan? How did it become so popular?
Thanks in advance!
Answer:
Because curry tastes good. No other reason is necessary.
There are a variety of tastes among Japanese curry alone, but they are arranged for Japanese taste. Compared with Indian and Sri Lanka curry, the difference is obvious.
Edit:
This question ends up with individual taste and preference. None of these answers is wrong. So why some people get unfair thumbs down? Some people may not like Japanese curry, but what's wrong with that?

Okinawa Security for a tourist?
Question:
Hello!
I want to ask if Okinawa is a safe destination for a foreigner.
Some people told me that Okinawans don't like foreigners and think that everyone who doesn't look Japanese is American.
Since I am planning to visit Okinawa very soon, I am concerned about this.
Is it dangerous to go out in Okinawa? What about the night life (clubs, bars)?
What about the public transports (bus, monorail)?
Thank you very much for answering my questions, and I hope to visit these beautiful islands soon!
Answer:
There is a problem in Okinawa. It's a beautiful place with its own culture, but the Japanese government has allowed the U.S. military to maintain bases there since the American occupation after WW2. It's sort of convenient for the rest of Japan, keeping those bases in the southernmost part of the country, on an island, far away from everyone else. The typical Japanese doesn't think about their country being occupied much. So, that's where some of the resentment towards Americans lies.
It's up to you though. If you're going to be a prick while you're traveling, then don't expect much from the locals. For the most part, though, a typical Okinawan will be friendly and won't judge you simply for being American or foreign.
Okinawa is not known for being particularly dangerous. It's mostly just the friendly locals and a bunch of Japanese tourists.
Japan doesn't really do clubs and bars. I know it's a thing that young adult Westerners like to do at home and while on vacation, but it's not very Japanese. In Japan, it's more about going out to an izakaya, if you're even going to go out. Sitting down with friends or workmates at a Japanese-style pub, which is pretty much a restaurant. In Japan you eat while you drink, no matter how much you just want to drink. Of course you can find the odd drinking-only bars in Japan, but they're not the norm.
Clubs are almost non-existent. They usually just have dumb foreigners hanging out, and the diseased Japanese girls that can't make it in normal Japanese society. They're usually run by some loser foreigner who's found a good way of exploiting his fellow foreigners, while he's stuck in Japan married to his Japanese wife.
In Okinawa, just enjoy it. You don't need those foreign things to do. You can go to the market, go to the beach, eat some local food, and maybe spend the night soaking in a hot Japanese bath, being all fresh and ready the next morning to explore again.
Just some quick Japanese questions?
Question:
1) What is the meaning/use of "wo"? In listening to natives speak, I've often noticed it used but it's not listed as an official particle or word.
2) How would you say "3 hours" as opposed to "3 o'clock"?
3) How would you say "like", as in "similar to" or "[this] is like [that]"?
4) How would you express "for", as in "this is for you"?
5) Can you correctly use more than one polite verbs in a sentence (ex. "I cooked, cleaned, and now I'm taking out the trash" --> "watashi wa ryouri shite to souji shimashita to ima gomi o sutemasu")?
I'm in the process of self-teaching myself Japanese, but I can't seem to find these anywhere. I politely ask that you put your answers in romanji, as my computer isn't equipped to read Japanese and neither am I. Examples would be great, as well, but please remember that I'm only between high-beginner and low-intermediate in fluency.
10 points to the best answer.
Answer:
1, Wo is an official particle. I think you are taking something wrong.
2, 3 hours is sanjikan. 3 o'clock is sanji.
3, There are many ways to say it, like "youna" "gotoku", etc.
4, It depends on context. There is not one single word for "for".
5, "watashi wa ryouri shite to souji shimashita
You need to say "watashi wa ryouri to souji wo shimashita" in this case. You don't need the first shite.
Where are 10 cheapest places is go shopping?

I am a Nigerian traveling to Copenhagen through Japan. Do I need a transit visa to connect a flight in Japan?
Question:
Answer:
No, not as long as you are making a same day connection. Otherwise, while technically being able to get a transit pass upon arrival in Tokyo for 72 hours if you have a forced overnight, the Japanese government has been getting extremely strict with 3rd world passport holders, and getting a pass through your local Japanese embassy or consulate before your departure would be very wise.

Can you help me with Japanese conditionals?
Question:
I've read there are four Japanese conditional forms: -nara, -tara, -eba and -to
But when is it more appropriate to use one over the other? Or can you just use them interchangeably?
Answer:
-tara and -eba are verb endings. Nara and to are like prepositions. Explaining all of their various uses is kinda difficult but I'll try.
Putting "nara" after the dictionary form of a verb is kind of like "As for [verb]" or "If [on the other hand] you choose to [verb], ..." Nara gives me this sense like you're talking about choosing to do one thing over choosing to do another.
-tara and -eba mean "If one ____s." So for example, "Netara" means "If one sleeps, ..." . I think that -tara is more polite than -eba.
You can use these two forms to make suggestions. "Shiken no tame ni benkyou shitara dou desu ka?" means "How about you study for the test?"
-to is a preposition that you add after the dictionary form of a verb. It means something like "If you verb, then (result.)" It is also used in certain places where in English we could also use "When." For example: "Daigaku ni hairu to ii nee." (Wouldn't it be great if I got into college?) "Gakkou e tsuku to (kutsu wo nuida hou ga ii.)" (When you get to the school (you'd better take off your shoes.))
-to, -tara, and -eba can also be used for making statements like "I wish that ______ would happen...." For example: ame motto fureba ii ne.... (I wish it would rain more...) kasa wo motte kitara ii ne.... (I wish I'd brought an umbrella.) You do NOT use "nara" for this purpose.
Using "to" for this last purpose gives me the sense of "Wouldn't it be great if ___?" more than "I wish that _____..." Like: Kanojo to baru ni iku chance ga aru to ii ne.... (Wouldn't it be great if I had the chance to go to the bar with my girlfriend?)
Importing Light Novels (UK)?
Question:
Light novels are essentially just a fancy name for books. now i've had my hand on importing stuff from america and once from japan. but a certain series eludes my grasp. as i can't find it anywhere and the only places that have the series don't support importing. so yeah any ideas like websites and stuff.
i've already googled around but it seems like all the good sites have closed and some are temporally shut down. it doesn't help that the uk has less support with importing either. so i just need a list of some good websites or a new way of doing things. the books im looking for are in extra information.
Answer:
No clue what the question is. Please elaborate
Becoming a Japanese Citizen?
Question:
I was just reading about culture shock of Japan. I read that some people end up loving Japan so much, they become citizens of Japan.
What really caught my attention was:
"Not only do you have to adopt a Japanese name, but you have to renounce your citizenship from your native country."
What I'm mainly concerned about is, is it true you'd have to give up your citizenship from your native country?
And second, what does it mean by adopting a Japanese name? First name? Last name? Both? Even without marriage?
Answer:
It is extremely rare and difficult for a single person (without getting married with a Japanese) to get a Japanese citizenship.
1. Yes, you must renounce your native citizenship.
2. You don't need to change your name, but you should register your name in Japanese (katakana is OK).
Hmmm, yes, you will lose your name legally.
If your name is Angelina Jolie, you should legally register it as ジョリー・ アンジェリーナ, and you are not Angelina Jolie any more.
Isn't that awfully scaring? If I was not a Japanese, I wouldn't do that.
Which of the four major religions (Christianity, Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism) have killed fewest people?
Question:
Answer:
It's hard to say. Hindus have been killing people much longer then any of the other three that you listed followed by the Buddhist. Lately atheists, such as Stalin and Mao have been responsible for more deaths than any of the religions you listed.
Taking the period that all four religions have co existed, you have of course the crusades, where the numbers killed by each side was kind of a toss up. The mongols who were a mix of Buddhist, Muslim, Christian with a little Shamanism thrown in happily killed everybody. Of course you had the Chinese, Japanese and Korean Buddhist killing there own people and each other. Of course WWI was mostly Christians fighting except for the Turks, but then we have WWII, Korea Southeast Asia to balance that. So who knows.

Who has committed more crimes during WW2 - Japans or Nazis?
Question:
it's not a popular topic...but japanese have been totally...bad *** (the right word!!) during ww2 - like eating captured soldiers or vivisection without anasthesia to patients. Nazi crimes are more popular and some are exaggerated by soviet propaganda i believe - nevertheless nazis totally outnumber Japan by number of victims for one thing. what do you think?
Answer:
Just compare the Laconia incident, where 1,000 British, Polish and Italian shipwrecked had been saved by 3 German and one Italian submarine, During the rescue effort they were bombed by a USAF B 24. The German Admiral Dönitz then prohibited further rescue operations. For this "Laconia Order" he was later convicted in Nuremberg as a war criminal. In such a way it is very easy to have a lot of war crimes on ones records (the American B 24 pilots and commander weren't even criticized by any supreme command).

You are too young and naive to think to live alone in Japan.
You have to pay at least £500 a month for a tiny room.
And there is no job for a teenager from abroad who can't speak Japanese.
You need to learn Japanese in England before anything else.
And you should know more about Japan.

Did the New Deal involve bailouts?
Question:
Did the New Deal involve bailouts or anything similar to the bailouts in TARP? I'm not finding anything analogous to a bailout being part of the New Deal, but there's a lot of stuff there. Anyone know?
Answer:
The New Deal attempted to set up mortgage moratoriums to halt the wave of farm foreclosures generated by the financial collapse. It also set up fascist policies and agencies to run them like the National Industrial Recovery Administration, which cartelized industry and tried to limit competition so that established firms would not fail. These were not quite the same as the recent bailouts, which involved direct transfers of stolen cash. However, they were variations on the theme.
The model for all of these socialist schemes was Mussolini's Italy. Roosevelt, himself, was a fascist (though he would not admit it and personally despised Mussolini), but formal fascism was blocked in the United States when the Supreme Court blocked the necessary transfer of legislative power to the executive in cases like Panama Refining Co. v. Ryan, A.L.A. Schechter Poultry v. United States, and Carter v. Carter Coal Co.
The Supreme Court later effectively reversed many of these precedents during WWII, in such pro-fascist opinions as Wickard v. Filburn and Yakus v. United States (however, read the dissent to Yakus carefully). The apotheosis of this trend came in Korematsu v. United States, where the Supreme Court turned a blind eye to the erection of American concentration camps for Japanese Americans on the West Coast. Although these camps were never the death machines of Nazi Germany, it is a fact that some confined there, as a result of the confinement, died.
Any japanese ships destroyed during pearl harbor attack?
Question:
Answer:
No ships. On the Japanese side, 4 midget submarines were sunk and 1 midget submarine was grounded. 29 aircraft were destroyed. The attack was carried out on a U.S. military installation, the US Navy base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, a US territory. The Japanese military, which carried out the attack, sent no ships, just airplanes and a few submarines. The US Navy base had the ships all lined up at dock, ideal targets.
How many of the people in WW2 internment camps were German or Italian?
Question:
In school I learned the version that says only Japanese people were in internment camps but I've learned since that Germans and Italians were too. Are there any numbers about what percentages they made up?
Answer:
I am not sure on the numbers,
but I do know that there was a POW camp in England which is now a museum called Eden Camp, It held many German and Italian Prisoners.
I visited it when I was a kid.
I also checked wiki and there is quite a lot of info about internment camps on there

Who do you think they are?
Answer:
Different people interpret pictures in different ways. An entire culture won't think the same thing about something. They may not like the fact that this is a Korean website, but nonetheless, people will have different thoughts. These are gruesome photos so probably thoughts will be negative.

How would I say this in Japanese please?
Question:
I would like to say something like,
"Is emailing OK for starters, and when we get to know each other better maybe use Skype?"
A woman speaking to a woman, if that helps :)
I've got as far as something like, E-meru wa daijoubu hajimete, sore kara (not sure from this point on) ... Skaipu tsukaemasu ka?
A lot of this is probably wrong, but want to try to learn from a starting point!
Thanks!
Answer:
I think it's something like this:
Is emailing OK for starters, and when we get to know each other better maybe use Skype= Saisho-wa meru, sore kara, mo sukoshi otagai-wo shitte-kara Skype-ni shimasem ka?
Is e-mailing ok? = meru shite-mo ii desu ka?
Do you use Skype? = Skype-wo tsukattemasu ka?
Can i Skype you? = Skype-de renraku-wo totte mo ii desu ka?
If you get completely lost - just ask politely, patiently and quietly: "Saisho wa meru - OK??" "Skype wa atode - OK??" lol They will understand you, as Japanese use simplified language in daily life anyway when communicating with friends.
Good luck!
Can someone explain why Japan's Fisheries Agency research needs to kill 900 whales?
Question:
http://worldnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/201…
What kind of "research" is this? Are they intensely studying how long it takes to kill each one?
I am also curious about how this activity benefits the Tsunami survivors...
Answer:
Do you know how many whales are living on earth?
Do you know how many species of whales are living on earth?
Do you know how much and what kind of fish whales consume every year around the world?
Maybe you don't.
How would you make it sure?
This is why research whaling is necessary.
Thanks to our research, Japan has more data than any other country in the world. All of our research result are reported to IWC (International Whaling Commission) every year. Japan, Norway, Iceland, and arctic people in Russia, US, Canada and Denmark (Greenland) are permitted by IWC to catch a limited number of whales. We are catching whales NOT to extinct them but to preserve the entire marine resources on our planet.
What were the different islands that the US and British? troops fought on against the Japanese in WW2?
Question:
what were the reasons for fighting on these islands too?
please explain how progressed?
Answer:
An island provided whoever possessed it with an unsinkable, if somewhat immobile, aircraft carrier. Airplanes from these and naval aircraft carriers could control the shipping lanes for hundreds of miles around them, which ultimately threatened the supply lifeline between the United States and Australia. Australia at one point, of course, was threatened with invasion, and Australian units were heavily involved on islands north of the continent, especially New Guinea, on which there was extremely heavy fighting rarely reported here.
In the summer of 1942, the Japanese army began building an air strip on Guadalcanal, which would have extended Japanese control further south from Japan's major base in the area at Rabaul. American Marines interdicted this effort by invading the island and capturing the airstrip, making it one of ours. This led to months of bitter fighting when the Japanese tried to recapture the air strip.
From there, the U.S. moved up the Solomons "Slot" toward Rabaul, which never was captured but was neutralized and bypassed. Ultimate goal was recapture of the Philippines, which had belonged to the United States from the time we took them from Spain in 1898 to the time Japan captured them early in 1942.
The Japanese also established a monster base at Truk in the Carolines, from which it radiated satellite bases. Japan had been ceded the Carolines and the Marshalls after Germany's defeat in WWI. Early in the war, Japan captured Guam, also an American territory, and it tried to capture Midway but was defeated in a major naval battle which became the turning point of the war.
The United States commenced an "island hopping" campaign in the Central Pacific when it invaded the Tarawa atoll in November 1943. Additional islands were captured subsequently -- Einiwetok, Roi-Namur, Saipan, Guam (we got it back), and eventually Iwo Jima and Okinawa (all with the same objective, which was to roll back Japanese air power while establishing our own). Capture of Saipan and Tinian made it possible for America to bomb Japan, itself, once the B-29s began coming online. The Americans had had a plan before the war to bomb Japan in the event of war, using shuttle flights of B-17s from the Philippines through to Siberia; however, the Soviets refused to declare war on Japan until the very end, and this had deprived us of use of their territory. Prior to late 1944, except for the single Doolittle raid from the aircraft carrier Enterprise, America had been unable to take the battle to Japanese military and industrial facilities in Japan because of the distances involved.
The British as such were occupied primarily in India and Burma, and as far as I know, major British units did not participate in island battles other than any islands contingent to northern India and Burma. There were British plantations on some of the Pacific islands before the war, and Americans were aided by groups of British "coast watchers," especially during the campaign in the Central Solomons. The coast watchers, however, for the most part were civilians who just wanted their farms back.
