Are you over there as an exchange student? If so, how hard is school over there compared to here? I heard it's really hard.

Man, Japan sure is different.

The schools are FREAKIKNG EASY. The thing is, nobody cares if you come to class, nobody cares if you disobey the rules, nobody cares if you do the homework, and your entire grade is usually made up of the final test alone. Not to mention the fact that school grades have very little effect on ANYTHING in Japan, its what college you get into that matters (and getting into a college, as anyone who saw Love Hina can tell you, is all a matter of a SINGLE test) After getting into college, the rest of the course of your life is laid out for you so that you can stop all that nonsense about thinking...
*sigh* I dont hate this culture, it just confuses me...

I have to ask this on behalf of my inner-fan boy, do all the girls over there were those cute school girl outfits to school? or are they more casual?

*Grins exposing his inner fanboy*
Everything you see in anime has SOME BASIS in the reality of everyday life for the average Japanese high school student. You cant have THAT many anime all with cute little skirts and guys in black blazers to not notice the pattern. It is true... it is soooooo true.... and the whole panty shot obsession that they have... they have it for a reason... *drools*
Anyway, I also have my stylish black blazer and clean pressed dress pants. When I first wore it, all the girls at my school said "niau! niau!" (it looks good on you!) 8)
Anyway, the more serious problem with the Japanese girls is there uncanny horrible teeth and common horrible breath. They seem to have a thing with NOT brushing their teeth, and I practicly had to SPECIAL ORDER flause when I wanted it, even at one of the largest drug stores in Yokohama, if thats any indicator of their dental hygene. *sigh* What a horrible destruction of so many pretty faces....

Head drops... please.. please dont... to be entirely hoenst Daniel I dont like spam, and even though I have had an increase in activity on the forum of late, that doesnt mean that I am spaming either. All that Ive done is talked more about my expiriences in Japan, and gone out into the comunity more for help with my vids and ideas. To be entirely honest Daniel, I dont like, endorse, condone, or in any way approve of spam (not to mention impersonating mods and KC and pissing off other anime comunities) So please, Daniel, keep your spaming to your own threads...

There's a reason for everything....
