@april76301 Sorry. jannimorandy is a racist Japanese person who doesn't like foreign people in Japan. His comment reads, "Without the ability to speak Japanese, how do you teach English. You idiot." I replied to him in Japanese (rather sarcastically). In short I said that I am an English teacher because I am fluent in English (not Japanese) and that Einstein wasn't a gym teacher. In short, you teach what you know. It isn't like I was there to teach Japanese.

The title is misleading. I was expecting something informative about an ALT's experience... It REALLY should have been titled "Students do silly things for an ALT holding a camera for 2.5 minutes."

@heatslap Well, any Japanese--even a kid-- who reads the comments of jannimorandy can tell at a glance that he/she is not a real Japanese because these words are so unnatural and making terrible mistakes both in syntax and vocabulary. I wonder why jannimorandy pretends to be a Japanese expressing those vulgar, racist and even incomplete Japanese phrases.

I'm soooooo glad that I can get a degree with just a GED, I'd love to spend the rest of my life in Japan! School isn't for everyone. o>o

The girl w/ the short black hair's pretty ^.^
Everyone loves Japan so much. I was drilled that these people are evil cause a bunch of bored ones crushed my grandfather's feet with a hammer when he was a war prisoner. (That's how they woke him up from sleeping one day)

Yeah, the imperial Japanese were a whole different situation. They were pretty damn brutal during the war, like the Germans and the Russians. Humane treatment of prisoners has an interesting historic development. Even now the concept isn't a given for a lot of people in the world.
I wouldn't let the past poison your present. Cruel things happen to people all the time. Would you hate every man because someone you knew was raped?

Hello , i wanted to ask something, i really wanna go to japan but i'm pretty scared. Like i'm not american or european but latin american and i've hard a lot of people saying they won't be nice to you!. I don't want to believe it because japan people seems to be really nice but you know i'm still scared. If i go there, will it be easy to me to have friends, or it will be difficult!?

@cutiesnsd It really depends on a lot of things. Generally speaking you will be welcomed. That said, it depends on where you go, why you go there (student?), and how old you are. In big cities, you won't be anything special. In small towns, you will be more interesting as a foreigner. If you go to teach English, you will be welcomed, if you are just a tourist with no connections, you will seen as someone passing through. If you are a student, you will make friends without a problem.

Were people still nice to you even though you were not from Japan? (I don't want to sound like an idiot, and I'm not trying to be stereotypical) but my mother is taking a business trip to japan and I might have to go to a middle school there. I'm a bit fluent in Japanese but I'm still learning. I'm 13, but would girls still be nice to me?

@lalala123able Yes. If you are a good person, people will be nice to you. They will probably be extra nice to you, in fact. But you will be expected to quickly learn how to act in Japanese culture. The schools are more strict than western schools. You will have to learn to be quiet and respectful but if you can, they will treat you as if you are really special.
