Anyone been to Japan in here?

[nigel]

Japan! Home of the Geisha! Sushi! Harajuku girls! And the most mischievious, silly TV shows in the world!

It is my dream, dream, dream holiday destination...

I also think that Japanese women look absolutley stunning! Usually slender, with beautiful skin..Does anyone know why Japanese girls are always so good looking like that? I know that Japanese men and women bath a lot, being clean is important to them, and they eat a lot of fish. I think fried/greasy food can be a cause of acne/bad skin..

I must say though, when I tell people I want to go to Japan, they say things like, "Oh Japan is a depressing place!"

I had a half Japanese half pinay girlfriend once,she was absolutely stunning,but her character was terrible still,there were fringe benefits for a while

SAMURAIs!!! Animes!!! :Vader::Vader::Vader:

We would like to go there sometime too... Lots of interesting stuff to be experienced and be found.

Depends really if you like culture, architecture & technology!

an old friend of mine married a jap girl, she came here on a spouse visa, but he promised her they would go and move to Japan before her spouse visa expired, she didn't like the uk much , so he went back with her, and that was about 3yrs. I've had a couple of emails from him since then, seems to be doing ok, he teaches English to mature students.

I was lucky to be sent there for a company I was working for. it is the best place I have been to, not depressing at all. the people are so nice and the only place I felt safe while walking alone.

the only problem I had was I was only there for 2 months, but managed to explore at weekends to Tokyo and surrounding areas.

I would like to go again one day.

My Vimvie is fine and she knows I like Japanese girls...and Thai girls...and Vietnam girls...and Malaysian...and Indonesian...and, Oh yeah I like Filipina's aswell...

I do love my Vimvie, and I'm not in the least bit interested in finding another girl, but I'm not going to pretend that I don't even look at other women! I thought maybe you girls would like the fact that I can appreciate the beauty of Asian/Oriental women...but I guess you are



P.S. Men who say "I only have eyes for my wife!" are telling porky pies, lies!

Wow! What did you do there? I've heard stories about Japanese people working very long hours...falling asleep on trains on their way home...sometimes they fall asleep with their face in a bowl of noodles?

Tell me more! Tell me more!

Did you ever go to that place where the Geisha girls are trained?

[Mrs Daddy]

I have a japanese friend here and she`s average looking

If she has the asian/oriental face with the oval eyes and perhaps a flat nose I will think she is good looking, it wont matter if she is a big girl.

Bad nigel

So you're saying my hubby is lying? lol, i don't think so
I believe him when he say that, as he doesn't only say it but show it more in his actions.....
actions speaks louder than words you know....

I'm not trying to undermine your relationship Sophie! There is a saying "I wont eat mince when I've got steak at home!" I think men are sincere when they say that. But if they see a beautiful walk past them, and they say I wouldn't look at her! I'm like "Oh your such a liar!"

Exactly Never argue with a woman, you will never win

I remember my father in law's message on our wedding day, he looked at my hubby and said "ALWAYS DO WHAT YOUR WIFE TELLS YOU"
and always remember "WOMEN ARE ALWAYS RIGHT"
He said that's the secret to their 45-year marriage and still getting stronger
mom in law is lucky indeed lol, and so am i

[bornatbirth]

what if brad pit walked past your wife and she turned and said to you "why are you so ugly"

btw never tell your wife you find other women attractive

Did you ever go to that place where the Geisha girls are trained?

I work in the automotive industry as a design engineer and was working at Toyota.

Where I was working, some were working late in the office but not all and yes many sleep on the trains before and after work. on one visit to "denny's" for breakfast, a couple were sitting next to us and he was sleeping

I did not go to the place where Geisha girls are trained but we did see some when I was visiting one of the temples.

[Sim11UK]

Yeah! I'd love to go to Japan Nigel, whether I ever get there now, is a different matter?...There's something about the place...Ive long wanted to go there.

[Tiggers0608]

I know some japanese families also here in UK and they rather go back to japan and live there than stay here in UK.

Well one of them is already back in japan, the other one still have 3 years to stay in UK and one other jap girl who married a brit wants to stay in UK but she's different and other jap families don't even like her lol (she's so bossy , didn't like jap guys so she married a brit to be her hubby to under (ander de saya)

[Tawi2]

Ander de saya Thanks tigger,I always wondered how to spell that

[pennybarry]

Never been there and wish to visit Japan someday.
I studied HIRAGANA writings and learned how to write Japanese Hiragana. I almost forgotten now but I think I can still recall If I'll be back to school for a refresher course.

Learning Japanese certainly does seem complex...there is even a saying in Britain "It's all Japanese to me!" (This is very confusing!) I believe the written Japanese language has about three different styles, is that right?

You're right Nigel. And Hiragana is the easiest.

The hard one is katakana I think. There's some characters adapted from Chinese alphabet. Too hard to learn Chinese characters. I tried to learn it when I was in Taiwan but it takes ages to learn Chinese characters. But I can speak basic Mandarin

[rusty]

The language was difficult to read but you start to understand some of the symbols. Luckily some of the resturants put in pics in the menu so at least you can see what you order.

As this may be my only trip there, I bring my kids out for a week so they can experience it too.

I dont think I will work anywhere that compares to the view I had out of my office window, Mount Fuji.

I'm sure you'll love it there Nigel. Japanese people as we know are very disciplined and killing themselves doing their job is very typical of them too. They are very warm and very respectful (one can see that in the way they bow their heads to show their respect). I know all these as my Mum has got a bit of Jap blood in her, also, my sister is married to a Japanese bloke and been in Japan for 8 years now. She teaches English for young children. The language is quite hard to learn and Nihongo is their national language.
