Author Topic: Living in Japan for a while; ask me stuff.  (Read 9067 times)

My experience with Japanese persons only extends to PSO2, but seemingly, people reciprocate with よろしく even when I only say よろ。

Do they understand what I'm saying, or is it the same as stopping in the middle of a word?

do you often see really cool vending machines and other sterotypical japanese wacky technology?

here in america the vending machines are so mundane :(

imagine if they had those vending machines from Macross that follow you around and harass you until you buy a drink.

Have you experienced any Godzilla/ related monster attacks?

Have you seen any engrish?

Do they sell mawt wikka?

Are you in the populated part of Japan?

Are apartments really as small as a bathroom stall?

Is it really true that all the guys in Japan are Perverts

are the glasses slanted? some
are the shoes way smaller for the females because of bound feet? that's china bro.
do they sell bra's over the size of a cup? there are breast implants.
do they sell condoms that arent xs? they do.
how many car accidents are there a day? not that many, it's hard to crash in gridlock unless you try to, and most people take the train anyways.

Haha, guess so.

Vending machines are literally everywhere here. Within two blocks of me, there are at least 4 vending machines. At the mall, there's at least 4 vending machines on every floor. They take their vending machines seriously. I haven't seen too much stereotypical Japanese wacky technology though, which surprises me. Yes they are. :(


I am Japanese too, and travel to Japan occasionally. Do you like it there more than you like it in your other country?
Currently, yeah. It's new, different, and fun. Health-care, education, etc are all really nice here. I don't think I could live in Japan though, my connections are too few and I have a hard time with the language.


What is the craziest thing you have seen so far?
The photo booths that make you look more feminine, your face flawless, and your eyes bigger. And commercials. Aside from that, nothing too crazy has stuck out to me.

A few.
No.
Yes, Japanese have really small boobs and some of them use bras to make them look bigger.
Yeap, rather hard to find though. They're only sold at pharmacies I believe.
You hardly ever hear about car crashes here. To get a license, you have to pay a ton of money for private tutors and then take an extremely hard test. Even then, most people just bike or ride the train.

よろしく is formal so you wouldn't ever cut it off. I think some people would understand what you're saying based on context but it's similar to stopping in the middle of a word. Like saying "Meet you." instead of "Nice to meet you."


Have you experienced any Godzilla/ related monster attacks?
So far, nope. I'm pretty sure we're breeding super monsters by Fukushima though.


Have you seen any engrish?
For education the students are required to learn English, so yes. There is English everywhere and most of the people can speak a little English.


Do they sell mawt wikka?
Mawt wikka?


Are you in the populated part of Japan?
Compared to Tokyo or any other large city, no. But the town I'm in has a population of about 60,000.


Are apartments really as small as a bathroom stall?
Depends where you live. In Tokyo, yes, there are apartments as small as bathroom stalls. Everywhere else, no, they aren't that small.


Is it really true that all the guys in Japan are Perverts
Not really; most of the men are normal. The men who are perverts really stand out though. "Accidentally" groping a girl, dropping something to see up her skirt and taking pictures, etc. Japan is still pretty male dominant too so that doesn't help much.

I think he meant "Engrish", which is when Japanese is mis-translated into English to give the wrong meaning.
Mawt wikka?
Trying to say Malt Liquor in a stereotypical asian accent?

Oh, totally missed that.
I guess. Teenagers and young adults don't often say and write the stereotypical Japanese "engrish" but older people seem to say and write it a lot. From "friendry" to "photo flame."

do they actually speak japanese or is everything in braille because they always have their eyes closed?
do they have another expression for "chink in the armor"?

do they have another expression for "chink in the armor"?
Instead of "chink in the armour" it's "yank in the larder".

The swift response and photo to my toilet question was very interesting. /approval
