    Okles, first of all, there's no better way than to learn Japanese, than by hiring a tutor. Watching anime doesn't teach you the essential Japanese that you need. It only teaches you humourous phrases, which can sometimes get you into a LOT of trouble! (My friend repeated some stuff he'd heard on One Piece and Naruto, and he ended up with a black eye and cut lip)

    Second, what's shabu shabu? I never ate anything like that, though I did eat sashimi and ramen, and I absolutely ADORE those! And I ate okonomiyaki, but I didn't like it. I don't really like eggs...They had vending machines EVERYWHERE, and I drunk them all dry of ice cold Royal Milk Tea in cans. ^_^ I miss that stuff like crazy! They had FANTA GRAPE as well, which my friend Ash got himself addicted to. He nearly fainted when he went 12 hours without any.

    As for pachinko, I only played once, and it was relatively quiet, so no I didn't faint. I had a good time playing it though. You really should all go to Japan, 'cos it's so interesting. When my families took me to historical places, I didn't have to fake interest, 'cos I was interested! Not to mention the fact that everyone was really nice (Albeit because I was foreign) and I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

    Expensive? For certain things. Clothes, yes. Electronical appliances, yes. Typical Japanese things, yes. Transport, yes. I think the only things that were cheap were food, drink and hotels.

    It doesn't surprise me that you didn't eat Shabu Shabu, as it is traditionally a winter food. Quite simply, Shabu Shabu houses are what members of the Christian faith would call "Heaven." It is the most delicious cuisine on the face of the Earth, consisting of paper thin raw beef dipped like fondue into boiling water, and then either Ponzu or Gomadare sauce along with raw vegetables prepared the same way. You eat it over steamed rice, of course. If you ever get a chance to try it out, definately take the opportunity. It's pricey in Japan but there are some good Shabu Shabu restaurants scattered around the U.S. that run anywhere from around $15.00-$25.00 for dinner. Great stuff. Wait, are you even in the U.S.? Well maybe you can find one there too.

    Didn't like okonamiyaki!? You know it can be prepared in tons of ways, maybe you just didn't like the one you tried? There is some good okomaniyaki to be eaten, that's for sure.
    everyone was really nice (Albeit because I was foreign)
    Also because they're raised that way. Although you'd probably never know if they were annoyed since the Japanese are masters of being polite and nice even when they're thoroughly annoyed or upset.

    Are the made in China stickers made in china, or just the products?

    Lay some grease inside my hand
    It's a sentimental jury
    And the makings of a good plan

    You're aware that China and Japan are entirely different right?

    I don't like okonomiyaki 'cos it's got eggs in it, and generally speaking, I don't like eggs. Plus, mine always had octopus in it, and I don't like octopus either. I looooooove squid though!
