Hey all,

Just at work and have to much time so i started thinking about what i wish i had of done when i was living in JP. I am going back to Japan with my girlfriend (japanese) at the end of the year and we will be living there for about 2-3years so i guess i am also getting ideas on what to do as well.

For me the 2 biggest things that i wish i had of done was to 1. Learn some of the language before i went over and 2. Bought a car, it really sucked not having one especially where i was living as it was a little bit remote, I am hanging out to get back into circuit racing.

I have been studying a bit to try and get the language to a useable level and have started putting money away for a car so that i can have some fun.

2 weeks before we came back we had a kickass Tokyo trip planned out, but i had to get my appendix taken out so i spent a week in hospital instead (only gaijin in the hospital that year) so i didnt get to do half the sightseeing i wanted to!

Interested to hear everyones thoughts

Cheers

I am probably too old to pull it off, but I really wish I had sex with a legit J-schoolgirl in her uniform.

Not a pair of life's nobler goals, but goals nonetheless.

I wish I had gone drifting on the street much more often than I did!

Getting my Japanese to a conversational level would be good too.

I think that those are very amicable things to have wanted to do, the japanese school uniforms are so damn cute and in most cases the girls wearing them.

I think the best thing from that would to be to get your misses to dress in a school uniform.

Definately wanna do some drifting, done plenty of circuit racing in the past but havent tried drifting yet.

Where i will be living is pretty remote and has lots of mountains nearby which could be good.

still here and do what i want. and my japanese is very much conversational too. :P

I don't wanna speak to soon, but yes same here. Can converse quite well now and still do what i want!

But my time is coming... :O

Well it would have been great to take bonsai classes. The problem was I to take bonsai classes. The problem was I couldnt find anyone to teach me except some tafe kinda place and they wanted lots of money and one year. I should have done it.

I wish i had "intimate relations" with more of my NOVA students before I married one. :laughing-smiley-014: Why did the staff tell me I was popular with the 18-20 year olds after I left the company? :closedeyes:

I still havnt gone to a maid cafe.

And the big one, I didnt buy that IMPUL R34 in the car yard on route 2.

So, when are you buying a ring for your girl Sleeper???

my location is looking wierd (Melbourne/åºÆ’島ã®ç¦å±±). Why doesnt the ã«ã»ã‚“ãâ€(nihongo) show up?

Yeah, did that already, it is great. But sort of cheating really...

Hehehe, the same reason they tell you that a person you never taught before said "you are their favorite teacher" :)

Heh.. yeah there's always the school girl fetish.... done

japanese language... I'm happy with my levels.... done

I wanted to try my hand at working at a host bar though... always thought that could be interesting.... but never made the chance when I was in the bigger cities.... ahh well, I guess it wasn't meant to be.

I think everyone on here seems to have/had the same goals or things to do.

Just another question its probably been mentioned already in a different post but....

what does everyone do for a job over in JP, obviously English teacher is the most popular but

just curious as to what people do and what the wage is like. I will be heading back at the end of

the year to stay for a while and would like to do something other than english teaching!

Cheers

the people I know in japan have pretty varied jobs actually.

I know a few english teachers (mostly through SAU)

one friend works for an american investment bank

one guy exports cars and parts

one guy works in the US military

one guy works in a french investment bank

one guy works for a japanese car dealer

one girl works for a phone company (docomo)

one girl works at the airport

one girl has various jobs

one guy exports cars (in a different part of JP)

one guy works in his dads company (lazer cutting, robotic welding etc)

one girl is a waitress in a nice restaurant

one guy works for IT with Nissan

I don't know what most of them earn but some of them get pretty decent money (around 1100man PA).

some of these guys are japanese though, but there is no reason you couldn't get similar jobs working with foreing companies that operate in japan.

serious? bonsai classes? a while back i was considering studying akabane to get a visa but I found easier means.. :thumbsup:

Yeah. I like gardening. An i've always been interested in Bonsai. I've had one for a few years.

So, when I went to Japan, I though "what a great opportunity to learn it here". But it seems to be one of those dying Bushido practices. People could believe me. "but you're young. Only old japanese men do bonsai, i was told by many ppl.

What's akabane?

I thought you may have meant that. (I know how writing in romaji is more difficult than actually using kana. ;) )

My wife has studied that for many years. Its beautiful stuff.

Japan is all about shopping and shopping! It's the only place where you can get the latest gadgets coming from Sony, Panasonic, Toshiba..etc.

So you did'nt do enough shopping in Japan? Or did you like window shopping? If I got addicted to those kinds gadgets, I'd go broke.

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
