I like Japan and its people hardwork

I have been to Japan a few times, to Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto. Yes, I was very happy there. People are very friendly, polite, and very courteous. The cities are very beautiful, very impressive too. The Mount Fuji was so beautiful, one of the most scenic places in the world I have been to. I hope to have a chance again to visit Japan.

Hi yugasini, although you've said you've been reading less there is a book set in Japan which might interest you, but I can't recall the authors name but you can google that from the title which is 'memories of a geisha'. It shows the customs of the Japanese which above all stress courtesy, made famous by the elaborate tea ceremonies.

Yes, I also like Japan for their liveliness, they are very active and energetic people, that although being a small country have reached a height where no one can reach. They have a systematic way of doing things and are very hard working. They hardly call for bandhs or stop production or stop work for any reason.

Hi Yugasini...to be sure, there is much I also admire about the people of Japan. They take education and hard work very seriously, and they have many good philosophies.:) Perhaps I'll get to visit there someday.

Hi, hajimemasite yorosiku(first meet to say hello in Japanese, laugh)
I have lived in Japan Nagoya for 20 years, my ID ayukawasouhiko is my name, there seem a few Japanese in mylot. well, i am pleasured to talk about Japan with friends.

You are right,there are Japanese working hard and silently, they like cleaning anything and to be strict in working better, Red and White object is the feature of Japan,it means clean, silent and death. but not all Japanese are strict in work and rigid in entertainment, they like travel to many countries including high school organize travel, i have followed my school travel to Seattle USA for a week.

You can see Japanese are kindly and polite to you, it is just the basic habit and harmonious communication among Japanese, foreigner as is usually,i doesn't mean they are kindly to you sincerely, because they don't want anyone disturb their private affairs, so they smile and nod is hinting that they are busy always, why your Japanese friend doesn't reply mail to you yet may be some reasons that she was busy or she felt embarrassed to reply to you, you don't disturb her again.In Japan common thing that if the other hasn't replied mail for a long time, it means i am ashamed to contact him and make friend.

Well, just it is my idea, if i am wrong, i hope whoever can correct me. i woud like talk about Japan and make friends with you.(laugh) enjoy mylot!

Japan really is amazing. And there are a lot of sites that can help you get in contact with Japanese people wanting foreigner friends. A lot of great friendships can be created, and it helps both people learn a lot of about the other culture. And it helps learn the language heh.

Try sites like:

Gaijin Pot, Mixi, and even facebook/myspace have a lot of opportunities!
