Rural Japan is soooo damn pretty! I'm seriously thinking taking a year to learn Japanese so I can live over there.

you're right, it's a 333 (or was it 366?). I guess she was wrong then.

Anyway, it's MUCH slower than my dad's p1 133 desktop. It takes a very very long time to even open one of my pictures. Hell, sometimes I type faster than it can display. (I already disabled all the programs that start up too...and there's no spyware on here)

I think it's funny all the 'more girls' talk. Going to Japan doesn't equal making you a ladies man. Sure many are interested in the 'gaijin' but if you can't talk to a woman here, you will do worst as there is a communication barrier on top of it.

Also there is a ton more to see in Japan than just women, you can easily find a Japanese lady here in America to take your time with when you get back.

It's like the pimple faces that want to run to the onsen to see women bathing naked.

On the Japan forums, there is discussion along the lines of "I am an American that went to Japan and found the women cold" or "they were *not* jumping at me as soon as I got off the plane".

Can you point me to this forum link? I'd like to read on that. As far as I know, if you are white and somewhat "normal," you can get TONS of girls wanting your mansauce.

No sh!t you were in Kusatsu?!?

I used to work in Gunma ken as a JHS teacher for 2 years.

You were in my old neck of the woods. Alot of my ex students are probably pretty 20 something year olds now.

Tokyo tower is really cool lookin at night when it is all lit up. The view from the top of Roppongi tower is really cool. Being up there late in the day is cool becuase you can see the city in the light, then the sun set over Fuji, and then see the city all lit up at night!

Also, please bring me back a Skyline. I will send you a check for $30000. Please cash it and purchase the car, and return the change to me along with delivery of the car. Thank you. I will infalliably send you a PM to further discuss the details.

forum.japantoday.com I think is one.

One *should* be able to get TONS of girls anywhere. It's all about approaching them or keeping the conversation heading in the right direction once they approach you....skills many cannot do. Being in Japan will not change that. Just travelling in america you can get the same vibe from chicks knowing you are new in town. Many guys/girls do well travelling as they become alter egos on the road....more so going out of country.

From saying 'as far as I know' are you just assuming the myths are true?

It's all about being different. Americans like women from Japan and other asian countries often that their own people would rank as less than ideal. Same way else where. I have scene more Japanese and Chinese women as beautiful than korean. Most of the Korean women I have met have been heavy bottomed and a little chubby in the face. I can't remember the nationality but my wife said their was one that most of her girlfriends (the Japan area and surrounding countries) would rank as #1 for seeing women that are beautiful as a whole.

Korean girls tend to be good wives. I have a Chinese friend who married a Korean girl too. She's a yr older than he. His mother initially objected to this due to communication difficulty. But later she loved her because she is just so nice.

EHHHHHHHHH...what??? Korean girls as good wives...?? BWAHAHAHAHHAHAHA. I would think Japanese girls are good wives because they are submissive.

Growing up Japanese and having been in Japan, including living there, I would have to disagree.

I would argue though that a very pretty Japanese girl would be far prettier than a very pretty Korean girl but on average, Korean girls are much better looking. If you haven't been to Korea, you wouldn't know what I'm talking about.

I would also disagree about marrying Korean. I actually think Japanese girls are better to marry because they are not as materialistic and argumentative as Korean girls. But I don't want to start a flame war. This is from my first hand experience living in Japan and marrying a Korean girl.

I grew up in NYC btw so I've been around all ethnicities not just those 2.

Korean girls are better looking because of the massive plastic surgery going on there. Ssang ga pul surgury (eyelid) is common as braces here in America. On top of that, they have this massive gongju byung (stuckup, superiority) complex syndrome. Well that's not all girls, but most of the pretty ones.
