Latest japan Frequently Asked Questions:
Doe any one live in Japan? From what all the media shows about japan, it looks very interesting. I am looking for poeple who lives or lived there. Hos is it there? whats the life style? How do people dress? what kind of food do they like the most? etc. just tell as much you can about japan from your experience.
Answer:I lived there for 12 years in total, so I could write pages...but to keep it short, I'll just go with what you asked. The lifestyle is pretty high-paced (well, for an Aussie like me it is). Even in the smaller cities, you always seem to be busy. Its a very convenient place, you can find convenience stores everywhere open 24hrs, and vending machines selling drinks are on almost every corner. They even sell hot drinks in the vending machines in winter! It can be an expensive place to live, depending on where in Japan you're located and the type of lifestyle you lead, although there are some very reasonably priced clothing and food shops around. People dress in western clothes mostly, and young people tend to follow fashion trends earnestly. Most Japanese people love brand-name clothing and items, so its not unusual to see teenage girls carrying Louis Vuitton or Prada bags, even though they cost a few thousand dollars a piece. Western food is very popular (like McDonalds and Wendys). Most young people eat meat daily. Japan is a culture which revolves around food. You know the Iron Chef? Well, that is just one of the heaps of cooking shows. But not just cooking; they have lots of shows where the host goes to popular or famous restaurants to try the food and tell the public how good it is. So you are basically watching at TV programme of someone eating. There's not one food that you can say all Japanese like, but most Japanese still love fish and seafood. Noodles are also really popular, and so is international cuisine (up until I left last year, Korean food was 'in'). What I loved about Japan was its history. I come from a country with a very short written history, and the history before white man isn't well known. Japan's history is so long and well-documented, and a lot of their culture is based on events in history that its extremely interesting. Its a novelty to stand out over there as a foreigner, but after a while it wears off; if you plan on living there for a long time, you just want to fit in and live your life without being on display (it does give you a bit of an insight into what life must be like for celebrities, though). Japanese people are just like Westerners in that they gossip, b*tch and can be very blunt, but they do seem to have a better sense of putting up a facade and behaving well in public. And what you may see on TV about the government and big business is not reflective of the public. I found that although the government is doing very little to help foreigners assimilate, and in some instances actively encourage the homogenous image of Japan, the average Joe on the street assumes that if you live in Japan long enough, you are Japanese, even if you do some things a bit different. Up until the day I left, my friends were shocked that I wasn't automatically made a Japanese citizen upon marrying my husband. Ultimately I loved my time over there, although I am happy to be home. Some things annoyed me, but that happens wherever you happen to be. And living over there really teaches you a lot about yourself.
okay hi guys um ive got a question about out japan this is what i want to learn how do u say want,i,a
Answer:Want: hoshii for objects, and the ~tai form for verbs (use with verb stems). I- females:watashi males: boku formal:watakushi There is no a in Japanese...there's just desu at the end of sentences (is/am/are). Whether something is plural or not is implied...there are no singular and plural grammatical structures.
Historians today still find Japan's transition from agricultural feudalistic society to a superpower in the world in such a short period of time amazing.In no more than 40 years Japan became as modernized as Europan powers and was the only nonwhite super power in the world.How did the Japanese obtain this in such a short time?
Answer:this answer is very simple. 3000 gaikokujin (foreign experts) and many japanese studying overseas (or spying and writing everything down) then the factories appeared and japan copied the same form of industrialization like england USA or other superpowers. of course another key factor is the japanese culture of education, dedication to work and strive for perfection. here some additional info to the Meiji Economy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meiji_period#Economy
I'm looking for information 'behind scenes' which might led to attack on Pearl Harbor, for instance Japanese movements, ideologies in Japan culture such as superiority, etc. I need more ideological JPN's view, JPN's view of the World during the history, especially in the inter war period. I'm looking more for psychological aspects within JPN, which might led to desire for an Empire and attack on Pearl Harbor itself.
Answer:The Japanese were expecting their results of the attack cripple the U. S. Pacific Fleet for a period of up to eighteen months, preventing aggressive action against imperial forces, with the fleet to later be drawn out into a final battle and destroyed. The Japanese launched a surprise attack on the US Navy and Air force so they could proceed in conquering China. The Japanese believed that if they were successful with bombing the US Ships and Aircraft that they would then have enough time to proceed in conquering China.
