If you're white, you'll mysteriously die and nothing will be done about it.

Or you'll be surrounded by women all day, every day. Like a harem of sorts.

Either way, I'm talking pure bullshit.
I'm dead. Don't come looking for me.

If you know Japanese then why don't you go ask on a Japanese forum with people who'd actually be able to give you an answer.

When people are asking you to join club in your school, join the light music club so that you can eat cakes all day long!

Ok, seriously, idk but i guess the transition shouldn't be too difficult since you watched a lot of anime.

Lol, I know thats where I would be xD
Cant forget the staring out the window daydreaming, vastly important.

If you really want to fit in, just put Legend of the Galactic Heroes in your top 5 and have it be the only 10-rated anime in your list.

You will be at the bottom of your class.
As a child, I was told that society is a melting pot of talents; knowledge and experience combined to form important alloys that will contribute to mankind. When I got to highschool, however, I thought that it's more like a river in which the water represents our peers while we ourselves are the stones in the river. Constant erosion by mindless majority sheeping has made us lose our unique edge. After I hit the age of 18, I realized that I've been wrong all along. Society is no melting pot. Society is no river. Society is a person, a very skilled rapist, and he has fucked us all.

From your picture I can see that you'll do well in Japan. They love the Justin Bieber look.

Congratulations. When I was your age, I also attended high school in Hiroshima for a brief period of time. The only negative experience I ever had was when it ended and having to say goodbye to all the great friends I made and thankfully I have re-connected with some of them on facebook. Now, I am working as an English teacher at a junior high school just right outside of Tokyo. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.

My top 5 advice
5 Get in shape you will be doing a lot of walking.
4 Be on time and if possible get to the train station 30min early.
3 Keep it in your pants. I'm not saying you can't date although some schools do have rules against students dating.
2 JAPAN IS NOT AN ANIME!
1 Be on your best behavior. The student exchange program can send you back to the US at any time.

Ahh, where'd you get that idea from? Anime?

It will depend on the school. Are you going to a private or public school? I'm kinda jealous. Hope you have a good time. You might introduce yourself in front of the class. :P

I knew a guy that said he got stabbed one year in a public Japanese high school. Then he paid off the security guard to beat the shit out of the other guy. So that's my impression.

If OP is reading this thread, don't listen to this thread, get advice from people who actually went to/are in Japan from a Japan forum.


Since I spent some time in Japan I can tell you my impressions:
Racism isn't as frowned upon, but it's not horrible, mostly people will assume you can't do shit, you know, since gaijin don't speak Japanese. Life isn't an anime, and while more people watch it there than they do here, it's not a universal interest.

No. Except the bribery part, that's not very likely to happen.
