A. I lived there for 12 years in total, so I could write pages...but to keep it short, I'll just go with what you asked. The lifestyle is pretty high-paced (well, for an Aussie like me it is). Even in the smaller cities, you always seem to be busy. Its a very convenient place, you can find convenience stores everywhere open 24hrs, and vending machines selling drinks are on almost every corner. They even sell hot drinks in the vending machines in winter! It can be an expensive place to live, depending on where in Japan you're located and the type of lifestyle you lead, although there are some very reasonably priced clothing and food shops around. People dress in western clothes mostly, and young people tend to follow fashion trends earnestly.… [cont.]

A. Let's see.. you have to make about $2300 dollars to go on the trip. Sounds reasonable for a 1 week stay. Let me give you some advice. Figure out how long it took you to save that first $200. Then do some algebra and figure out how long it will take you to save enough up for the trip. When you get near to the end of this period of time, which I am guessing will be a large amount of time, get back to us here. Lots of things change when you are saving up your allowance for a trip to Japan. Also, I will go the extra mile and help you out on this. Exactly how do you plan on saving, wait a second, about $400 a month between now and then? Do you really think that this is realistic? It's just simple math combined with reality. This… [cont.]

How is Japan seen on a worldwide level as a political power that is in favor of stopping global warming?
Q. How has Japan asserted that it is a major power that wants to stop global warming? How have they decreased pollution and greenhouse gases on their own territory. How have they supported or encouraged other countries to do the same? I need articles proving this, so if you could post the link to a good article. Thanks!

Why does Japan have such a high life expectancy, even though a ton of people smoke cigarettes?
Q. I understand that diet plays a large part, but I would imagine that one of the leading causes of death in Japan is lung cancer. People live till their 80s in Japan, yet you see a ton of people smoking cigarettes, which is horrible for your lungs and greatly increases the rate of lung cancer. It's not just the smokers either; second-hand smoke is probably rampant in Japan. If this is true, how come so many people live such long lives?

A. DHL has a good presence in Japan, and the major cities do have FedEx. Many people use the regular Post Office. Japan Post is very reliable, remember, the USPS (United States Postal Service) only handles the mail on the USA side, so if you send something by USPS, once it arrives in Japan, anything from the USPS is handed off to Japan Post for delivery in Japan. The only thing you have to remember is when the USPS gives you a guaranteed time delivery, its talking in US days and times, so if you send Global/International Express Mail with a scheduled delivery date of say March 1, it will be March 1 US time, but maybe March 2 Japan time. Otherwise all services should be reliable.

The fact that you are Asian will not make you blend in, as the Japanese can easily distinguish between different Asian ethnic groups. Even if you were 100% Japanese, but were born in America, you would still get a lot of attention because your dress and hair style, skin tone, mannerisms and certain body and facial features would give it away that you are not a native Japanese.

A. As far as I know, Japanese university admission requires passing the level 1 JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test). Anyway, if you went without understanding Japanese, you...wouldn't be able to understand anything. It's possible to get a visa to study Japanese there, though, so perhaps do your best to learn now, immerse yourself for a few months (after high school), take the test, and then apply to university.

A. As far as I know, Japanese university admission requires passing the level 1 JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test). Anyway, if you went without understanding Japanese, you...wouldn't be able to understand anything. It's possible to get a visa to study Japanese there, though, so perhaps do your best to learn now, immerse yourself for a few months (after high school), take the test, and then apply to university.

A. Hello! Learn rudimentary Japanese. Do not expect too much, especially for Japanese girls. Do not complain if you can not get what you want. Be open and above-board which makes you attractive. Welcome to Japan:D

What is the cheapest air ticket I can get from Japan to the Philippines?
Q. My family and I were planning to go to the Philippines this December. We were wondering what the cheapest possible route was from Japan to the Philippines. We are planning to leave Japan on December 10 2007 and we will return to Japan within the first week of January 2008. We do not mind having to transit at a different airport or using multiple airlines.

What caused Japan to become one of the most Technologically Advanced Nations?
Q. In the World? My thoughts is that when Japan surrendered to the US, the US introduced laws saying Japan cannot maintain a military (i think it's true) So with ALL the money NOT being spent on Military upkeep, the Japanese invested it into Technology, Science and Research.

A. It's cause the Japanese are smart, they have good schools and the parents keep their kids in line. They don't spend their time becoming obese and constantly getting angry over everything.

How does studying in a Japan as an exchange student effect your education?
Q. I want to go to Japan during 2010 through YFU (I'm in highschool.) How would this effect my education? And if I do choose to go through with the program, would it be likely I would be kept down for a year once I return home?
Asked by Liz - Tue Jan 6 02:02:51 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments
A. If you are set on studying in Japan as an exchange student, and are prepared to go along with all the work that is involved, you should be fine once you return home. By being prepared ahead of time, the chances of things going badly are minimal. I myself have been on numerous study tours to Japan, and it is indeed a very, very educational experience. I did take some of my own textbooks over there, so I could study when I wasn't in Japanese classes over there. This kept my education at a high standard so I was fine coming back. It does depend on how long you are planning to study over there for. I went for half a year, and I managed fine. But good luck if you go ahead with the program, I wish you all the best! :)

What are some cities in Japan that are near Tokyo?
Q. I'm planning on being an exchange student next year from the U.S to Japan. I've been researching a bit but I'm having trouble with what city to look into closely. I want to stay in one that is near enough to Tokyo that I can visit. Does anyone know any good cities for me to look up?
Asked by Gabi - Thu Sep 17 13:02:36 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments
A. The most important and expensive part of Tokyo is in the Yamanote line circle, particularly lower (south) half. We have government buildings and the most expensive apartments there. Outside of Yamanote line, the further you go from the line, the cheaper land is. We have residential sections in all North South, East, West. So it's pretty the same no matter which direction you go.
