Considering you actually know some Japanese, no, you aren't. XD

Okay, that's the last time I do that, it's hurting my head.
Oh. XD; So the fact I'm actually learning it negates my wapaneseness? Awesome. :3 Now I can laugh at them all I like. :D

I'm too lazy to use real ultra-1337. xD

Jae -- yes you are, tons of people know how to say that and they're still wapanese XD Oh, and iirc it's boku wa, right, Bunny? XD

The new foriegn exchange student who just came to Japan tried to correct me on my Japanese.

It automatically put him on my 'Bad List'. I've been here for 2 months. I know how things work.
Doesn't mean you're the master of Japanese though. I've known people that stayed there for nearly a year without actually getting better in Japanese. Though, that was because they never bothered to actually study the damn language when they had the chance. Plus, you never know, that guy could have been studying Japanese longer than you.

Oh. XD; So the fact I'm actually learning it negates my wapaneseness? Awesome. :3 Now I can laugh at them all I like. :D
As long as you know more than "Kawai desu boku ga, ne?" you're good enough.

...who goes to Japan for a year and doesn't study the language? That defeats the whole purpose. O_o; IMO to experience the full cultural benefit travelling gives you, you should be able to communicate at least basically with some native Japanese/whichever country you're in.

Paige -- oh! I can see how that's a cow. I'm stupid, I thought you meant highlight all the underscores. XD;

Jorfe -- ...does that even make sense in Japanese? It doesn't seem to be making sense.. o_O;;; I know all those words/particles, but in that order... XD;

He studied a year in the US, but I have 4 two-hour classes a week, which have been more than enough to teach me to function on a basic level.

Based on my two years of classroom spanish, I can officially say you learn 50% faster when forced to use the language to communicate.

Some idiot that went there for the anime. The bastard took my spot! XD It was so annoying, when he came back, he didn't know any new mores. I knew more Japanese than him and...well that makes sense, I try to study a lot, but yeah, he basically wasted a free trip to Japan on anime crap.

god, that's pathetic. They should have sent you :\ You'd get a ton more out of it than just anime, you'd have actually benefited from it.

Classroom language classes really aren't the best way to go, not in the US anyway. 90% of the things they teach you is all archaic and pointless. But you're probably off better since you actually get to take classes over there.

It still doesn't look like a cow to me...

His family donated money to the place that was sponsoring the trip though. All I ever did was show up for every class they held, stayed overtime to study with the adult class, help native Japanese speakers learn English. I mean, compared to his one page speech on why the animation medium in Japan makes it a great country, I did squat. So, yeah, that's probably the one chance I had at getting a free trip.

...yes, I'm bitter, dammit. <_<

His uncle was on a acceptance comity, so, that and the money they donated, nepotism at its best. They narrowed us down from a group of 25 or so other applicants, took like three months to get that far. The reason they gave me for winning was that he was "more laid back in his ventures of Japanese studies". WTF? He never actually studied, he showed up for 17 out 40 classes, and the "more laid back" excuse was total BS. I mentioned that I also wanted to go there for other things than just studying, he on the other hand, talked about nothing but anime and how it's so cool and its Japan's greatest export.

But he ended up getting food posioning and had to come home early because of it. So, it's not that bad. XD

Oh xx; Nepotism is the perfect word, god that's just... *shakes fist* >.>

Laid back? Uh... basically he was 'lazy' in his 'studies', you were actually devoted to it o__O; which is what they'd want if they weren't so corrupt, if they weren't so corrupt they could see he was definitely not the right one to go.

Lmao, that's karma at its best. <3

But you wouldn't stop using the internet if you did go, right? ._.

Yeah, since I never really talked about anime or music or anything like that an actual Japanese landmarks and cities, it apparently means I have a stick up my ass and don't deserve to go. I loved that he was sent home early, but he still stayed there for like...9 months. I would have killed to be there for even half of that, I was so emo after I was passed over. XD

Nah, I probably just wouldn't use it as much. Look at Paul, he still gets to post and stuff. Not like it matters since at this rate, I'm gonna be stuck in this country until I die. XD

Oh! So basically, because you actually know something about Japan apart from its anime, you're too presumptuous jdbvd PRETENTIOUS to go there.

Poor Bunny, when did this happen? ;~;

aw, thank you XD; But I'm not smarter than other people my age jfdbjxbxcdsx... and no I am not going to start this again XD I just felt the need to point it out~!

Basically. What sucks the most is that the guy gave up on being in love with Japan about a week after he came home. He's now a huge fan of Brazil or something like that, it's so damn annoying. It happened around last year and I've basically tried all the ways to get to Japan that I knew of...and none of them work, so I'm screwed. And yes, if it ever happened, I'd still come on. XD

And, good, I don't wanna get into that conversation again. XD
