Tokyocooney's Japan forum

Hi.
well I'm a Japanese, want to know about how you think of Japan.
Asking people who lives in Japan.

1) how often do you meet with people who can speak English (conversation) in Japan?

2) what was your first impression of Japan?

I can answer your questions about Japanese culture and stuff.
feel free to talk to me.

p.s. Have you ever been to Okinawa?

Hi, elfenproll. I'm an American who lived in Japan for a few years (though I never made it to Okinawa). I enjoyed it a lot, for many of the reasons Cooney talks about in his vlogs. Living in a place where many of the things you've always taken for granted are different is exciting.

>1) how often do you meet with people who can speak English (conversation) in Japan?

Well, since I was a teacher I met a lot of people who had an interest in English and spoke it very well. Among those I got to know outside of work I don't remember any who were very fluent, but (at least in Tokyo) I bumped into quite a few strangers who seemed to speak excellent English.

My favourite memory on that was a visit to a small village in Shimane. A girl (I think she was nine) was shy at first, but when I left she suddenly shouted: "Don't go, baby!" I always wondered where she learned it.



>2) what was your first impression of Japan?

I got asked that a lot when I first went there. It's hard to say. I was living in a small town in Saitama (almost to Gunma), and so things were even more different from home than a big city would have been. I suppose, though, that it was how small things were compared to the US. Houses, streets, gardens or cars, everything was smaller and closer together than I was used to. Of course, when I got back to the States everything seemed too big for a while.

I love everything which belongs to Japan
