First choice. Mario or Luigi

Egg drop. Dunkin Donuts or Krispy Creme

If you destroy Mars, earth will be affected since the cosmos would be out of whack. Destroy Europa, it'll be sad, but it wouldn't end up destroying everyone on the planet. I guess Europa... :-( Roller coaster or Ferry ride

The second choice definitely! lol Spanish or French Oh, Disney World is bigger, and in Florida, opened in 1971. Disney Land is in Anaheim, California, opened in 1955, and is smaller.

That's tough given that I like both and have had both at the same time...but today I'll say dog. Disney World or Disney Land

I like all of those. ^^ But my least favorite dish amongst them is Korean kimchi. Disney World or Disney Land?

I like all of those. ^^ But my least favorite dish amongst them is Korean kimchi.

I didn't give a choice, that's why I didn't answer it. I was answering the first question.

I would be the best linguist in the world, able to speak and understand multiple languages. What's your guilty pleasure?

I do currently reside in Japan. I'm "from" Virginia. There, for where I'm from, you practically need a car.

They're super popular, but I really hate what they represent and who they technically cater to. That "scandal" from a few years ago was ridiculous.

8/10 because cute shocked face.

Maybe in Japan, but not where I'm from. A car is practically a must. That aside, I have terrible balance, so I never got the hang of it. My father is the same way. I like spicy foods, but not to that implied extent. Even though I don't like sweets much, I'd go with the second option, but I'd have my milk and insulin pen ready. lol 1. Bungee jump into the Grand Canyon or 2. Go over Niagara Falls in a barrel?

*cough*AKB*cough* I'm surprised AKB doesn't have an anime, unless they do.

An airplanes because I can't ride a bike. 1. Would you rather have the power to control time, meaning you can go back an hour in time if need be for whatever reason (that's the cut off) or 2. Take a trip to Japan, but you must do odd jobs to satisfy the Japanese government and immigration so that you can stay as long as you want...no visa needed.

I knew they were popular, but wow.

Given that I'm over here and don't have cable television and stuff, I use my tablet or computer to watch stuff. This goes for everything. My computer isn't the best in the world and doesn't have good audio. It sounds distorted after a while, unless you use earphones. What I do, whenever the TV isn't occupied or my roommate isn't in the living room using it, I connect my tablet to the TV via an HDMI cable and watch stuff through it.

Hm, I can drink an entire bottle of wine or champagne to myself in one sitting and still feel okay since wine and champagne is pretty weak in general.

Hm, when I was little I had a fear of....tall plants. *Hears everyone stifling their laughs* This fear didn't last long because I grew taller, but it started when I was three. It was Christmas. My younger cousin was in her walker, apparently. She accidentally knocked the tree over and it fell on me. I didn't know she had done so and stuff, so I thought it moved on its own. After that point, I was scared of tall potted plants because they were bigger than me. My great great aunt had a tall plant in her house and I hated walking past it. It just scared me. As I grew, though the fear did go away. lol When I was little (like under the age of 10 since these shows started at that time), I was a bit fan of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Disney's Adventure of the Gummi Bears, Ducktales, Chip & Dale's Rescue Rangers, Growing Pains, Alf, The Cosby Show, Muppet Babies, You Can't Do That on Television, the Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show, and a bunch of other things. When I was little, I really liked pink and purple...but preferred purple. I used to have a Minnie Mouse body suit and would do MIckey's Mousercise (check YouTube for this lol...super super dated) I loved watching MTV and VH-1. I've had a tonsillectomy twice. Once at 6 and again at 12. They grew back. I am having a tough time thinking of things to share from my childhood. I guess I need something more specific to narrow it down.

Looks like a signature...a messy one. Sorry, can't make it out.

I knew about the contraceptive thing and the scare tactics used by the government attached to using the pill, but am curious regarding what they're taught in school in the form of sex Ed. Any other info you can provide given your experience with your dorm mates? Just curious since I've never had the guts to bring up the subject of inequality of women in Japan with actual Japanese around me.

Hey there. Here are a few suggestions, most have a fantasy aspect... Record of Lodoss War: This is an OAV series. Record of Lodoss War: Chronicles of the Heroic Knight (This is the follow up to the OAV, and has one of the most beautiful intro themes ever, imo.) Utawarerumono (just found out that this got another series...I've only seen the original) The Slayers and its sequels (Slayers Next, Slayers Try, Slayers Gorgeous, etc.) Tales of Symphonia the Animation (this is an OAV series based on the game and is followed up by Tales of Symphonia Tethealla and Tales of Symphonia the United World) I guess any of the .hack series. The first one, though, is .hack//SIGN Ragnarok the Animation (Also based on a game, a fantasy-based MMORPG game) Fushigi Yuugi (if you like stories where main characters are trapped in another world) Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-ohki: This is the OAV series, and it still have releases. It's a separate continuity from the other Tenchi series. This is the first one. Tenchi Muyo! TV, aka Tenchi Universe outside of Japan: This is the TV series, which has a different storyline and continuity from the OAV. Hope some of these titles will appeal to you.

Can't say "best", but my favorites were Matsuda and Near.

Sorry I took such a while to reply to this. I would rather type out a respnse than use my tablet and t hese days, I don't use my computer as much since it doesn't have a battery, takes forever to fully boot up. I'll answer as best as I can. Okay, gotcha. Which parts did you visit, by the way? Did you say in the Kanto region (places like Tokyo and Yokohama, for example) or did you venture to like the Kansai area (places like Kyoto, Osaka), or maybe the Tohoku region, etc.? You know, you could always go to university and try switching over to a Japanese university later on. As for jobs for foreigners, there are quite a bit, like web design, IT, game design, bartending,, translator, restaurant server, etc., but the majority are stuck teaching English, but the higher your level of Japanese, the better your job prospects. For instance, I've only done English teaching jobs here. My first year here, I was an Assistant Language Teacher at a junior high school, and I did enjoy my time there. The job was relatively easy. When returning back here, I took a job at a very small eikaiwa or "English Language School". These cater to all ages. For part of the job, I had to work mornings at a nearby kindergarten, which I loved, and in the afternoons and evenings, I had to go to the actual school and do lessons there. I loved the kindergarten portion of it....didn't care for the eikaiwa part of it. I moved and took another job at a more well-known eikaiwa chain and the experience there was okay, but it did get to the point where I wasn't enjoying it because I like consistency (my schedule wasn't the same every week) and hated the late hours and I preferred working with preschoolers, mainly 0 - 3. Since eikaiwa schools mostly are aimed at everyone, they're open rather late because of adults. I'm now in Tokyo. Last year I worked for a company that shipped me out to nursery/kindergartens everyday. I liked and hated it. I hated the pay and the amount it cost me in transportation fees. This year, out of desperation, I took an ALT job, and...yeah, I personally hate it, but I blame the pay, lack of benefits, and my experience for that. ALT work is good for a beginner, but not someone with experience because more than likely, you'll get frustrated more easily, and with this job, I'm constantly frustrated...but it's my own fault. If I studied more, I'd have a better job here. My level is still pretty basic. So yeah, study the language as best as you can so that you don't end up in the "English teaching" trap, although most use it as a way to just get their foot in the door, and then start looking into other things while here, since many companies don't recruit from overseas...aside from maybe places like the ALT companies and stuff. Another option is the JET Programme. It's government sponsored and the pay is more decent and you get benefits, compared to these other companies. They only recruit from overseas. It's a long process, though and you have no say in where they place you if you're accepted. These are only things you can do to get into the country and then maybe search for better employment once you're here as you'd have a big advantage over those who aren't here. One site you can check is www.gaijinpot.com. You can get an idea as to what requirements are needed for certain jobs. So the type of area you would like is the "inaka" or "countryside". Those places exist in the Tokyo area. There's the city part, and then there are the more suburban parts...but they're outside of Tokyo. Places like Chiba or Yokohama. Hokkaido I hear is very nice, and I was trying to go there initially, but that's mainly due to my dislike of hot weather, and the humidity levels are low there in the summer compared to the rest of the country. Anyway, the only downside the further north you go, or the more rural an area, you may end up needing to drive every place, which means either getting an international license, having your license translated from your home country (unless you're from the US, where that's not an option), or sit through the Japanese test. Edit: I just checked the JET Programme site. There are many countries that participate in this, but unfortunately, Mexico isn't one of them. Ironically, Argentina and Spain are. You know, the Bachelor's requirement isn't really a "job requirement"...unless it is. lol That's to satisfy immigration for visa purposes. They're strict on who they let into the country for living purposes...they prefer people with degrees and an education, I guess.
