Well, at the moment where my host family lives is a city part of Country Gunma ( trust me, this Country Gunma bits of it makes Melbourne city look small )
Besides studying in a Senior high school ( chicks all round ) my school actually turned co-ed just 3 years ago, so there is about 50 boys with around 3000 girls. Private school. At my jap school you never get the cool group and the gay group they are all friends with each other and treat eachother with alot of respect ( this is a generalization though )
Since iam asian people dont expect that iam a foreigner and i always get Hontou! each time i tell them iam from Australia. At the start when my jap wasnt up to scratch i found it very hard, since when i spoke broken jap they gave me looks as if i was a Japanese retard no kidding, but now my jap is much much better and i dont really get those looks anymore.
Now to cars, i love the car laws in jap. I have seen so many heavily modded cars its fantastic. There is not one day i go by without seeing a car that makes me spin my head around to get a better look. Iam starting to fall in love with the so many STI foresters i see on the road. I always see drift cars in Gunma, jsut today saw a 4 door skyline R32 with massive Rays rims.
Mmm.. dont want to make my first post too long, but just wanted to say that the japanese community is so nice and good to live in, In my area they dont lock their doors and if they do, you can get through a slideable window. The people treat each other with so much respect. Although i find the constant yells of Welcome! each time i walk into a store or super. gets a bit annoying, and the workers in the supers they like have competitions yelling out Welcome!
hmm.. ill let you guys know more as i go on, and answer any questions.
