  3. Maybe it doesn't make sense because you skipped the story? Just a thought.

  4. Working on Little Busters (kill me now) still and also reading some random ELVN called Sepia Tears. It's actually decent, though kind of falls into the typical VN tropes (which may or may not be your kind of thing).

    Fluff in visual novels

    Maybe you should make a poll to see how much padding is disliked or not. I for myself enjoy long common routes as well as long running animes, IF the plot is not totally forgotten. If the characters are interesting I love to see more of their daily routine and habits. But that's also because I rather focus on the emotions of the characters and have a problem with too fast advancing plots. How to explain? I want to dwell a bit in achieved accomplishments before going on.

    Japan!

    It depends what brands you use I guess XD You can find a lot of imported brands at big stores like Loft and Tokyo Hands, but they are more expensive. You will have to get used to using different stuff. I get my toothpaste sent from the UK because Japanese toothpaste has much less flouride, and I also get deodorant sent sometimes. It's best to just try and adapt to the readily available brands here as it will be easier and cheaper. Awesome! I'll PM you ^_~ What kind of information? XD The biggest red light districts in Tokyo are probably Kabukicho in Shinjuku, Dogenzaka in Shibuya, and Roppongi. There's lots of stuff on offer there, but expect to spend a lot. People at my work have run up 300,000+ yen tabs ($3000) in one night going to hostess bars... Anyway, if you have any more specific questions just let me know! I've not been to a soapland or anything like that but I've been to some love hotels and host clubs, and know lots of guys who regularly go to strip clubs and hostess bars. Yes there are! If you can get into one of the big banks or manufacturing companies then there are opportunities there. But usually they are looking for a) someone who speaks some Japanese or b) someone with experience in the industry already. My boyf works in PR at Toyota and he got in without any industry experience, but he does speak Japanese. Another way is to get into a multinational company in your own country, and then request a transfer to Japan later. Regarding video games, there are probably a lot of openings for programming but I'm not sure what else. I know Sony regularly hires foreigners (I have a friend working there) but again they're mostly looking for people who can speak some Japanese. You should give their site a look though. Learning about Japanese language and culture while abroad.. well the best way would to be enroll in classes if you can. Other than that, use the web and all of the amazing things it offers. There's tons of Japanese people out there who want to practice your English, so try and connect with someone via a language exchange site. You'll have no problem finding someone Tokyo is of course amazing. It's also the most foreigner-friendly city. I also lived in Osaka for 3 months and really enjoyed it there too. To be honest though it's really up to you and depends on what you are looking to get out of your stay here. Regarding the culture, again it depends on you. Research as much as possible before you come - of course there will still be culture shock, but it's good to be prepared. I didn't find it too difficult, but Tokyo is a very cosmopolitan area, and if I was out in the countryside I'm sure I would have to do a lot more adapting.

  18. Well that's true. But i don't really have a particular experience to share in regards to this. In fact i haven't understood what this thread is about yet. Feel free to enlighten me so i might give some form of constructive comment (probably not). I don't normally see random cookie packs and then insert them in VNs to sound like sexual innuendos I'm currently in the prossess of finishing watching this at the moment so this is where my attention span is flowing at the moment

    Japan!

    Moooooore answers~ I live in central Tokyo and unfortunately don't have any experience of country life. I have visited some places in the countryside though and had great experiences. I remember I went with a friend to Toyama and we were staying in a family-run Japanese ryokan (hostel/inn type place). However, we got COMPLETELY LOST on the way there due to wrong GPS coordinates, and were eventually saved by a super nice old guy who phoned the place for us which turned out to be quite far away. He then drove us (two complete strangers, and foreigners to boot!) somewhere to meet the people from the ryokan, and they then drove us the rest of the way. Seriously, I can't imagine anyone doing that in the UK! I also had an amazing time on Yakushima, an island off Kyuushu. My boyfriend and I were looking for somewhere to eat but everywhere was closed, until we came upon a tiny little local drinking place. We were kind of wary of going in as some of these small places aren't too welcoming of foreigners, but everyone was lovely to us! So basically my travelling experiences (which include Hakkone, Nikko, Fukuoka, Osaka, Nagano, Yufuin, Kagoshima, Tanegashima, Yakushima) have all been great, but I don't know what it would be like to live there. Hopefully one day I will find out though! Ah I remember the NOVA thing, sorry you were caught up in it Do you think you'll come back to work in Japan again? Yes, it's definitely possible to come over to work as a teacher and then move onto something else. I know a lot of people who started out that way Hehe, to be honest I don't think Japanese people are more intrinsically polite than anyone else, they just have certain manners and ways of acting that seem very polite on the surface. You might like some of these customs, but there might be some that rub you the wrong way. Personally, I operate well within Japanese culture, although there are sometimes cultural differences that sometimes frustrate me such as people not speaking up for themselves in the workplace. Believe it or not there are many people who live here but are very bitter about Japanese people and culture - if you look at the Gaijinpot forums there's a lot of hate - but I just don't understand why they stay here if they hate it so much :/ Mostly no. If you're a foreigner then you might get people approaching you to chat which can be nice, but can also be annoying. As a white female I get men approaching me quite often, under the guise of 'wanting to learn English' haha. I would never ever strike up a conversation with someone on the street except maybe in the nightlife areas like Roppongi, both because that's not in my nature anyway, and I don't think most Japanese people would react well to it. That being said, if you're in a drinking place like an izakaya or a bar then you definitely can! I've had random people (usually middle aged guys with their wives XD) buy me food and drinks and stuff~ Oh also, being female helps :/ There's no limit that I know of (of course aside from your airline's standard luggage limit)! I've brought tons of stuff back in my suitcase, and shipped things back too. The only problem might be with 18+ rated material, but I've also carried that kind of thing out of the country with no problem Yeah, Akiba is pretty awesome!! Lots of huge anime adverts everywhere, anime songs blaring out of the shops, girls in maid costumes trying to get you to come to their cafes.. I'll take some pics next time I'm there~

  23. Rosette stone is one of the most popular software for learning new languages, it has 100+ languages in its database however because you won't need 100+ languages and each language is 1GB+ so it would be painful to download full software of 100GB+ you can download just RAW software (without languages in it) and then just download the language you want to learn and add it to a software. It uses very unique and easy way of learning languages, it gives you pictures of things and then write you how that thing on the picture is written in that language (in case of Japanese you can choose if you want Romanji, kanji or kana) and it also gives you audio of how that word is pronounced. But there also other things that it teaches you like how thouse words are used in different situations (grammatically right) how thouse words are written etc. And evrytging is put into some specific order that is best for learning new language. Basically it is like you are taking courses of Japanese with someone tutoring you except one tutoring you is your PC. And software is made so that even children can use it so it is very easy and simple to use. I guessed that the only fault in it is that sometimes it repeats you same things to match so you can remember them for sure but if you think that you don't need repeating and that you already remember it you can just skip lessons that repeat them selves. Here Wiki will explain it batter then I.
