...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.

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.

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

This coming from an idiot who changed his name for an underscore.

Go get the dramalama. XD

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.

I would but you called me an idiot.

 

[Kylie-chan]

Drama llama for the win. :3 <3~~

I called my Mom a drama llama the other day @@; and she had no idea what I meant xD

 

[Ryoutarou]

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.

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...

I see a happy Hitler.

Fine, Kylie, you go get the stupid thing. D;

How's that even an insult... or whatever?

 

[Kylie-chan]

I mostly just pick stuff up~~ I should probably start listening to what they're saying on subs and stuff; I might learn some proper, modern Japanese~ :3;

Where IS the drama llama?

...it wasn't meant to be an insult XD

Go to Gaia and save it.

I'm going to follow suit and call my mother a Pirate Smilie. ;)

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. <_<

 

[Kylie-chan]

Oh. :3

It wasn't based upon the smiley, it was based off something I saw on lj XD

!

Jorfe -- that really is disgusting T_T hopefully you'll get there one day without selling all your limbs ! You deserve it, you actually put effort into preparing for Japan~~~

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? ._.

Wish he ate a pufferfish XD Errr... Kylie's uber-vocabulary rant XD

Über-vocabulary? Dearie, the most complex word I used was 'nepotism'... and it's not that hard, basically bias due to political and family, etc. relationships XD;

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

Well, I guess you're just a lot smarter than a lot of people around your age XD Damn, wish he ate a pufferfish...

She is, but still, the post wasn't really complex at all. o_O

Yep, I just felt like saying the word "Uber", I haven't used it in like... *squint* yeah~

You'd still come on, right? 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~!

EDIT: Whoops. o_O *fixes word* I'm tired still...
