I just got back from Japan a little over a week ago. And Japan was freakin' awesome. I already went through a little culture shock when coming back, too. Everything in America compared to Japan is huge. But enough about America. I stayed in Japan for a month with a group of high school kids my age, we weren't tourists either. We actually got to live in Japan, and stay with a host family while traveling to places with them, and getting to know what a slice of life is like in Japan. It was truly an experience I grew from, and was everything I expected Japan to be and more. We went to: Tokyo, Kyoto, Hiroshima, Miyajima, and Matsuyama. I stayed with my awesome host family in Matsuyama for about 2 weeks, and already they felt like family. Just being in Japan felt like I fit in and belonged there more than living in America. I'm hoping to go back at the end of high school...Anyhow, I made a ton of new friends, got to live, eat, and breathe Japan, and I know I wanna live there someday.
PS: 1. western-style toilets are AWESOME, go there and find out for yourself
2.Harajuku is my pic for best fashion. Go to kiddyland, and go to Takeshita-dori for awesome fashion stores that are best in goth-loli and cute japanese fashion.
3. Dont be shy to eat foods your not familiar with. And eat Ramen and udon noodles. They're the best!

Yep. stuck in uni...
Heheh, it was =)
Nope. We stayed at a japanese style hotel for fun. Hotel edoya
Lol yea. We went to every one we could find. The tokyo one several times, since our hotel was like 10 mins walk from akihabara. The ikubukuro one twice, the one in kyoto etc etc. Haha
Haha did you stop by Animates?
Oh definitely. The next time I'm over, I'll plan to go during a festival. I wanted to climb mt fuji this time too, but missed the season by a matter of days. grrr.
Haha sounds good. Yea, I loved Harajuku too. I didn't really see anything interesting in 109, it was just normal clothes. Oh, I did see a really cute hoodie with cat ears in 109, but it was very expensive. Haha I was also walking around with 2 guys, so I didn't shop for long. But I walked through everything there.
We mostly went sightseeing or to see anime stuff. Lol
Oh that sucks, I missed the festivals too. My favourite has got to be tanabata or the obon, but I missed both. Grrr. At least I got to buy a yukata, which I wore just last week to a summer festival organised by the Japanese association here in Singapore=)

Haha that's sure good to know. So did you do lots of shopping? You would have been around in time to go to tanabata and some other festivals right?
How did you get on with the language? Everyone speaks only Japanese there^-^ Hmmm I haven\'t really had much time to watch so I\'ve been sticking to a few. Vampire Knight, D. Grayman, Bleach... What about you?
O.o I didn't know that AP wouldn't work for you. Why's that? And how did you get on to begin with? Lol. But I'm glad it works now =)
Hehe yea, Japan was awesome.
Haha me too. Within a week or 2 of leaving japan, i already started to miss it...
