Hirigana is used to write Japanese words, and doesn't have as many sounds as our language.
Katakana is used to write English words, but in Japanese style.
Kanji is the complex drawings, which are used to display whole meanings.
There's also romaji which is the writing of Japanese into English, and it's usually written phonetically.
I know a limited amount of kanji, but I know enough to stop me from wandering into the men's toilet.
Hehe. Thanks. I didn't know all that (just stating the obvious

Buy as many obscure video games/anime/manga/whatever as you can possibly find, then sell them on eBay.
Bow. A lot. At everything. Before you enter. Before you leave.
They're be so thrilled at your manners that they will love you.
Yeah, I've been told to do that, but my Japanese teacher says it doesn't matter if we don't, 'cos we're foreigners and the Japanese won't expect us to know their ways. We've also been warned that they might explain the hot and cold running taps, in case we don't know what running water is!Bow. A lot. At everything. Before you enter. Before you leave.

I've been to Japan (my brother is Japanese) and all you should be aware of is their Traditional Pride. If asked, don't turn down any of the Traditions they may offer you to join, it'll only offend them and hurt their pride. Other than that, they're very nice people.
I'll bear that in mind. Thanks Chris!

Yousuckyousuckyousuckyousuck! I wanna go to Japan!
I want to go there! I hope you have a lovely time and try not to worry about what people will think about you because chances are if they explain how the running water is they'll be pretty forgiving if you do do something wrong- even though you probably won't!
