/jp/ - Otaku Culture

It's nice, there are no annoying feminists.

your troll post fell apart when you accidently posted it on /jp/ instead of /jp/

Care to elaborate?

I've heard the stories about women having to expect to be molested on subways and it's not illegal. Is this true?

Most are encased in concrete.

Wow, two months in Japan is a long time.

I was there for 28 hours in January 2010. I went to Tokyo, walked around, ate at one of those soba shops, and stayed at a tradition Japanese hotel.

The culture shock was HUGE. I'm used to not speaking the language when I travel, but I am NOT used to being completely illiterate.

It's like having a dick in your ass.

Tell me more.

What was so shocking? What was it like, really?

There are two types of attractive foreigners in Japan:
-Blond hair, blue/green eyes, etc
OR
-Black hair, LARGE dark eyes, and pale skin

If you're not one of those then forget about it

fucking moonrunes

everywhere

Sure I can tell you more.
I landed on a Saturday at Nagara airport, around 7:00 or 8:00 in the morning. I was jet lagged beyond all belief but excited to be there.
I rode the slow train into town, and was excited to be surrounded by the Japanese. The sounds of the warning bells as the train crossed intersections sounded exactly like in Slice o' Life shows.
I went to Electric City on the first day, and marveled at all the gadgets on display. I went to that famous busy intersection too, and watched from a 2nd story shopping mall as the masses ran one way and then another.

Gee, I wonder why? Maybe you should have bothered learning the language first, you fucking idiot?

キョン君、電話。

What would be the best way to go about learning Japanese?

Is there any way to master it without spending more than 2 weeks on learning?

The tatami mats are very restful and I had a good sleep that night. My toilet did have more buttons than the space shuttle, but the hotel owner showed me how to flush it.
Breakfast in the morning was as pictured in Slice o' Lifes as well. Then I met a /b/tard (we agreed to this a month before) and he showed me around a few Shinto temples as well as looking at the Imperial Palace.
Then I took the high speed train back to the airport and left the country.

Protip: The only people who speak English are at the airport.

I hope you're not serious, even if you'd put in work every day it would still take you months to gain any kind of fluency.

>>7336732
Spend two days in the hyperbolic time chamber.

>>7336732
There is no way you can master a language in two weeks. I have spent years learning Japanese, and have been learning Korean and Mandarin for almost a year now. Learning a language requires lots of dedication, practice, and time. You will pick up the language much faster if you immerse yourself with native speakers, but still two weeks is nothing.

Damn you troll, I'll take your bait:

1) The Japanese are people, just like every other nation in the world. Treat them with respect and you'll receive it in kind.

2) Any complements directed at you aren't complements, they're simply being socially acceptable (as defined by their complex social rules). Also, the only way to accept a complement is to deny it.

3) They don't really care about you; any schoolgirl coming up to you to be friendly either wants to practice her English or is trying to get your money. Don't be stupid and you'll be fine.

4) Politeness is expected, and so is considering others/a group when doing things.

5) Don't weaboo. AT ALL. It'd be like talking about hamburgers and country music in America; it has it's audience, but it's not everyone.

6) The society runs on a forced politeness, they're likely thinking much darker things beneath what they say; recognize this and try not to piss people off. It makes things easier.

7) Don't tip. They don't tip in Japan, and you may end up causing someone to chase you down to return your money.

8) They slurp food, and it's sometimes expected and seen a s a complement.

There's more but I don't feel like going into it right now.
