I like the fashion here at America, but the Japanese seem to be so, creative. Like you can go out wearing a pink, puffy dress with a lot of lace (lolita) without people staring at you in Japan. It's like you can go out wearing whatever without being so cautious. While here in America teens would wear a Hollister or Aeropostale logo on their shirt and shorts and that's it. I don't know, ithe fashion just seems more interesting in Japan than here. But that's just me..

This must be pretty old. That's some old school gyaru goin on there.

@VocaloidGirlx  No only, little kids where Hollister/Aeropostale. Young adults, grow up out of that "I wanna look like everyone else" phase. We actually do have great fashions, so does Japan, so does every country.

@BigPaPaOG5 Wow, that's a long story, but n short, I think Americans r pretty insular people n i didnt want 2 remain tht way so i left. I chose Seoul bcuz its the #1 market for English teachers (I'm TESOL). Also, Asia appealed bcuz its so diff frm the Western perspective. Everyone's been to Europe, but I didn't know anyone who'd visited Borneo, u know? So yea, after growing up n L.A., college in Boston, life in NYC I felt if I wanted 2 keep growing I had 2 keep going. It's experiential learning.

@Tritano wow, all the places you've lived in are the places i want to live in....do you mind explaining why you moved to each place and why you moved out?

@TheCarlScharnberg Seoul ws aweosme! Some areas r still developing. 2 years ago it won the international architecture award. The urban plan cleverly fits old n new n burgeoning culture is the same. Great food, nightlife, art scene. Tokyo on the other hand is international yet oddly insular. Cityscape is fluid, magnificent and diverse. Its on a circular grid, the pace is super rapid, u hve access 2 the best of everything n customer service is supreme! But, if I had 2 choose, I'd go with Tokyo :-D

@Tritano How was Seoul? And which city do you prefer?
