Akiba? Are you referring to Akihabara?

I've done the other two things last time I went. Fuji was great. I did the night-time climb to see the sunrise from the top. Amazing.

bump?

Let this be a lesson to all of you weaboo faggots. Japan doesn't want your ass. Stop watching Pokemon and thinking just because you know what 'kwaii' means that you can live a happy existence in Japan. The only way you'll ever get to Japan is if you're a baseball player or a rapper, and we all know anybody who plays baseball or raps in Japan is doing it because they failed hard at it in America. So get these false hope of living in Japan out of your head, grow the fuck up, and join the real world.

I will.

wtf someone paid 550 bucks for 6 of these? What's that, like 90 bucks a pop?

I swear I've seen these for sale in Akihabara before. If I bought some, would you guys buy them from me for 90 bucks each?

Sup /jp/, My brother just got a job teaching english in korea. I've never considered it until now but I think I totally want to do that but... bet you can't guess, in Japan. I'm sure you've looked into this before, many of you might even be in japan atm. So how's it done? where do I start etc?

Agreed. The sooner 4channers (especially /b/tards) can learn to accept that there will always be fail mixed in with the win, the better this website will be.

Besides 2D related stuff (which is enough by itself), there are some other things I like better about Japan than the US, which is the only other country I've ever lived in. They include:

1. Very few retarded religious people
2. Safe city streets
3. Good public transportation
4. 2ch and a primarily Anonymous internet accessible from cellphones

Close relationships between the Three Kingdoms of Korea and Japan began during the middle of this period, around the end of the 4th century AD.

During the 4th century Baekje became a sea power and its territory, having originated in the southwestern region of the Korean penninsula, expanded to the east coast of China and the major part of Japan. According to the Book of Song, "Goguryeo came to conquer and occupy Liaodong (遼東), and Baekje came to occupy Liaoxi (遼西) (in modern Tangshan, Hebei)." This fact was also confirmed by the Book of Liang (梁書, published in 635 AD) of the Tang Dynasty (唐, 618-907 AD), "During the time of Jin Dynasty (晋, 265-420 AD), Goguryeo conquered Liaodong, and Baekje also occupied Liaoxi and Jinping, and established the Baekje provinces."

However, Baekje continued mutual goodwill relationships with the Japanese rulers of the Kofun period, transmitting continental cultural influences to Japan.

(The map in the background indicates the territory of Baekje as of 375 AD in red.)

Since the 3rd century AD, for example, Chinese writing system (from Baekje in 285), Buddhism (from Baekje in 552), painting (from Baekje and Goguryeo), Confucianism, ink, papermaking, and advanced pottery (all from Goguryeo in 610), shipbuilding and ceremonial burial (from Shilla in the 7th century), and other aspects of culture were introduced by Korean aristocrats, artisans, scholars, and monks from the Three Kingdoms of Korea.

It is an undisputed fact that the Kofun period established origin of the Japanese imperial lineage. In other words, the current Japanese imperial family are Koreans by blood.

Japanese civilization was planted by Koreans.

The Jōmon period (縄文時代) is the time in Japanese prehistory from about 14000 BC to 400 BC. Possibly distant ancestors of the Ainu aboriginal people of modern Japan, members of the Jōmon culture left the clearest archaeological record; they were related to the nearby Jeulmun (櫛文) culture of Korea.

After a new wave of immigration, mostly from the Korean Peninsula some 2300 years ago, of the Yayoi people, the Jōmon were pushed into northern Japan. Genetic data suggest that modern Japanese are descended from both the Yayoi and the Jōmon. However, it was scientifically proven that both the Yayoi and the Jōmon were already not homogeneous when they arrived in Japan.

The Yayoi period (弥生時代) lasted from about 300 BC to 250 AD. The start of the Yayoi period marked the influx of new practices such as weaving, rice farming, shamanism and iron and bronze-making brought from Korea.

The Yamato (大和) polity was the main ruling power in Japan from the middle of the 3rd century until 710 AD (including both the Kofun period (古墳時代, 250-538) and the Asuka period (飛鳥時代, 538-710)). The main difference between the Yayoi period and the Kofun-Asuka periods is the development from a sedentary and agricultural culture to a more advanced and militaristic culture due to influences from China via the Korean peninsula.

Most scholars believe that there were massive transmissions of technology and culture from China via Korea to Japan which is evidenced by material artifacts in tombs of both states in the Proto-Three Kingdoms of Korea and Kofun eras, and the later wave of Baekje (百濟) immigrants to Yamato.

Japan here, What is this?
