2018-04-24 02:31:41 +0000 UTCI know you asked John but I wanted to comment. I have spent the last 18 months doing self study and although it has taken a lot longer to study the kanji (I only know know about 300 out of some 2000+) I ultimately find it a lot easier to read Japanese than speak. To be more specific its a lot harder to listen than it is to just understand what the Kanji says. I think any one can pick up a few phrases to get by in a matter of a few days. The hard part is listening and understanding what is being said. Some people talk faster than others. Plus accents, regional dialects and just processing in real time. Listing is HARD. After you learn the basic kanji you get really good at visually braking down a sentence and understanding its meaning... without the variances mentioned above..

My question to you would be, where in Japan would you say is the most magical, beautiful and best place that you have taken your wife? Like a day where you take her out, but to THE best spot in Japan for the both of you to spend time with eachother and it be memorable? Looking forward to the chat. Thanks again for all you do John! ✌ Steph

2018-04-23 22:25:49 +0000 UTCQuestions 1) Why, how, and when has your residency status changed over the years? 2) Have you updated your status at the national family registry yet? 3) Can you believe it has been thirteen months since you started your hitchhiking adventure? I'm looking forward to my "digital DVD" this year! Comments 1) Previously I asked you about moving to Japan. I found a helpful, inexpensive book which I would like to recommend to others with the same questions. The book is called Start Your Life in Japan by Ken Lawrence. It covers a plethora of topics from visas, to resumes, to getting hired, to getting a cell phone and Japanese phone number, to housing, to unions, sempai/kouhai, wa, giri, business practices, My Number cards, etc. It has a lot of useful information, but be warned: while the beginning of the book is positive, and the end is positive, the middle starts as neutral before eventually getting to be negative and a bit depressing. However, the info is quite valuable, so even though the author is a little soured by his experiences in Japan, I think the book is still worth reading! 2) You often say how I ask a lot of good questions. Heh. I guess it might show that I used to run a podcast where I would interview people who worked on anime and Japanese video games. 3) Here's a travel book recommendation: Super Cheap Japan by Matthew Baxter. Super Cheap Japan talks all about inexpensive or free things to do and places to visit in Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, etc. as well as how to get discounted train tickets, tax-free items, all-you-can-buy purchases (food, alcohol, clothes, sweets), and clearance-priced goods. It's another good read!
