What's the best city to celebrate New Years in?
I'm not as much looking for a club scene as I'm looking for a place to eat good food and get hammered with the locals.
Copenhagen
why are japs in this thread gay
Yokohama with me
kobe in japan
this is a good choice
日本の歴史とか文化とかそんなことについて読みたいけどどこで読んだらいいかわからない

Because they can't sleep with any girls.
Now remove yourself from this thread
Why don't you go to a library?
A temple or shrine in quiet rural city, go to Hatsumoude with your Japanese friends.
Big cities like Kyoto, Osaka, Tokyo are always having many options.

Do you know what's happening in my panties right now? *giggles*
Oh, I'll be here for this year's NY, working. I'm already thinking 17/18.
Neat, thanks for the recommendations.
Also, do anyone in these threads ever meet up? I'd be down for meeting some random Japanese user while over there.

I know hiragana, where should I progress from there?
Haven't you ever learn other languages?
galgame
Japanese is the first language I'm learning, I have a good handle on hiragana, I'm just kind of confused with what I should focus my studies on next
Katakana and then Murakami Haruki
memorise every single individual kanji
>the first language I'm learning.
you must be under 13 years old, you're not available to be here.
>doing WWOOF in Japan from January
>going to be staying with a nice elderly Japanese couple
>write back and forth with them
>there's a German girl staying with them who's been there since May
>they tell me how she's almost like their daughter and how she's nice and polite
>the German girl leaves to go back home
>they start writing about how the farm feels empty without her and how lonely they are now and how they're having a hard time without young people to help them
>mfw
82 days. I'll be there then. Hang in there, cure elderly couple.
>WWOOF
What the fuck is this shit and why would you do this of all things in your life?
Was English not implied? I'll go somewhere else then, thanks for the help for those who gave it, I appreciate it.
what is the purpose of your learning?
青空文庫で「現代語訳 古事記」
横山光輝の漫画「織田信長」「豊臣秀吉」「徳川家康」を読むとかなりわかってくる
Japanese start to learn other language(English) when they become 13 years old.
That's why the guy told you must be under 13years old.
Get proper text book and learn grammar.
A worldwide organisation of organic farms. You sign up for a small fee for each country and then get access to a list of hosts all over the country where you can come and stay with them.
You work 6 hours a day for 3 meals and lodging. AKA budget long-stay holiday with included get-fit work.
ミクさん
Are you doing this just for the experience or a just a way of getting to Japan
Have you done it before?
Fun, and I am genuinely interested in the language
Do you have a recommendation?
Both. And for getting the fuck out of the city and get hard from doing manual work.
Nope, but I've heard from plenty of people who've done it that it's great.
Besides, I'm a 6'2 240lb Scandinavian. Need me to chop wood in -10C and a snowstorm? Mondai-nai desu, I brought my own axe.
Do you like Japan?
I like Japan!
Many people here recommend Genki. I started with Nakama and moved to Genki after a few years.
I saw many Japanese learner in this thread use ''genki Japanese''.
Read OP and there are some useful links at there.
youtube.com
皆!! 日本に行こうぜヽ(〃･ω･)ﾉ
I hope you'll post here after you start your work. I'm interested to hear about your experience.
Do you have any farming experience? Do they just accept anybody? What was the fee?
日本だいすき!(is that right?)
I'll have to try that, thank you!
>Japanese start to learn other language(English) when they become 13 years old.
But forget it all when they leave highschool
ハロウィンはやめてくれよ、うざいから
Maybe
>I brought my own axe.
You got to be kidding me.
When will you come exactly?
feel free to ask us, buddy. :3
Don't come to here
I don't think Kyushu is the place for chopping wood in -10C and a snowstorm
でも、彼女が欲しいんだ
日本はたくさん可愛い女の子があるんだから、僕と付き合うがいいんだろう?
2bh, we don't usually have to use English at real life, only for school. Obligation brings you nothing.
I hope learning English gives something attractive things for us except white cute girls.
America: Just go to Japan already, you fucking weeaboo!
Japan: Go back to your country.

こいつハイテンションだねw
クジラが食べられること
良い仕事があること
犯罪を犯さないこと
マナーを守ること
できるか?
what if your jap hosts starve you or neglect to feed you, and you don't have a way of contacting anyone because they have no wifi or net connection
Which one actually had an experience coming to Japan?
>Do you have any farming experience?
I've had my own tiny community garden, and I have 10+ years of outdoor experience. But never straight-up farmwork. Biggest challenge for me will probably be to slaughter a chicken.
>Do they just accept anybody?
Pretty much, but the hosts aren't forced to accept you. You need to be an appealing person and make a good profile. Also, there are rules you need to follow.
>What was the fee?
5500JPY for a a years membership.
You really think I'll buy a new axe of Japanese steel, when I have a handforged Swedish hatchet? You must not know Scandinavians.
Yah, I get that. I chose the south to avoid the cold, actually.
I'm an /out/ist. I'm bringing fishing and hunting gear.
Plus, the farm is like 2km from a rural town with a store. I'll be fine.
僕はいろいろなマンコが好き
クジラを食べたい
でも、日本人な彼女がいれば、ニュージーランドに戻るもいい?
出ない
森=韓国?
I know Scandinavians, I have Dane friend in Japan...but
>awn axe
How can you take it to the airplane?
But I can guess the axe is pretty good, post pic of the axe if you have it now.
How long are you planning to stay? It sounds like something that would be really comfy for a week and then I would panic and think "what have I done?"
べつにニュージーランド女子でいいだろう
>日本人の彼女ができたらニュージーランドに戻ってもいい?
絶対だめだ!日本で結婚して子供作って、仕事して、きちんと子供を育てて、日本の少子化を止めてくれ!
中出し
The pic I posted is the same on I have. I'll put it in my check in luggage, then it's no problem. Same for the knife I'll be bringing, pic related. I've read up on Japanese knife laws since I'll be needing these tools for my outdoor life.
A year. January '17 - January '18 on a Working Holiday visa. My WWOOF membership ends in September, and then I'll hike around or get a part time job or something.
I have been to Japan~
I want a gay experience in Japan

Whoooa F
You always toed the line but never go full gay
D R O P P E D
Yes, you should be careful if you want to use your own knife and axe, because Japanese laws are always very strict to them.
Thanks for pic.
And...watch out hot and humid weather in Japan.
でも、少子化を上るの?
ニュージーランド女の子はだめ
僕を過小評価しないで!!!
違いますッ
>parents are arguing for like 2 hours and I have no idea why
>find out it's because my mom took cinnamon rolls out of the oven too early and put icing on them already so she couldn't put them back in
>can't afford to move away from amerifat parents because I'm a NEET
I need a qt Japanese girl to save me from this shit country and let me live with them and also cuddle me while we sleep.
この数ヶ月来てないんだけどキリたんまだか
go to Shinjyuku 2 chome.
How long and which city became your favorite?
少子化は、「止まる ・進む(すすむ)」
出生率(しゅっしょうりつ)は、「上がる・下がる」
日本に住んで子供を作って育ててくれたら、出生率が上がって、少子化が止まるかもしれない
最近見かけない、忙しいのかな?
Japanese knife law states that:
>any blade over 15cm requires a permission
>you cannot bring a blade with you unless you have a reasonable purpose
>even then, it must not be easily accessible for the person, e.g. be in the front pocket
Neither the knife or axe is over 15cm, and I'll have both securely packed in my backpack together with a shitload of other camping gear whenever I'm not using them.
It's almost the same laws as in Denmark.
今、俺といっしょにお好み焼き屋にいる
ミクさんパンツ
If it's over 15cm knife, you can't bring bus and train without permission, too.
Did you decide which area you will stay? Kyushyu?
あ、そうか
でも、出生率はまだ上がるよ?
それで、日本人恋人と一緒に ニュージーランドを戻ってくるもいいんだ?
>ニュージーランドに
I wanted to go south, so I chose to send applications out to hosts in Kyushu and Okinawa. The couple I'm going to stay with replied and seemed nice, and they've been hosts for 7 years now. They also speak English a bit, and are willing to help me learn at least conversational Japanese.
>それで、日本人恋人と一緒に ニュージーランド に戻ってきても いいんだ?
ダメだっつのw 労働者人口が減ってしまうから。
日本人を持っていっちゃダメ。
pathetic
girls don't like NEET losers like you
are you on a troll hunt?
Okay, then I want a qt Japanese girl to call me a loser and spank me and kick my balls with her bare feet.
Kyusyu and Okinawa? Nice, I only visited there for my Summer vacation, tho.
Food is good and people are nice,,,just they have typhoons too many, tho.
Okinawa has very beautiful beaches. enjoy.
I have to go by now, talk again sometime.
