/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Hello /jp/!

I plan on going on a culture experience trip to Japan sometime next year (as you can guess, yes, I am a huge Wapanese faggot) I am already well acquainted with the Japanese language, having learned both Hiragana and Katakana syllabries, and a good bit of Kanji (just enough to carry a conversation, basic terms). I'm pretty much set when it comes to communication while I'm in japan, as well as the fact that I've read up on and studied a lot of Japanese culture, etiquette, etc. I plan on staying over there for roughly a week, possibly two if I have the funds. If I enjoy it there, and have enough reason, I may consider changing my college major plan to English Literature, with minors in Japanese language & culture, and education on top of that. Possibly finding a job as an English language professor.

After that short briefing, here is my question:

Have any of you otakus/weeaboos ever visited/lived in Japan? What was it like, what were some of your experiences with daily life, mingling with other citizens, finding work, and etc?

I know this may sound like a pretty general question, but if anyone has actually been to the country for an extended period, I would greatly appreciate your insight.

Thanks! ^_^
