Where should I study a Japanese language, Fukuoka, Gifu or Osaka? There are 3 things to consider. Is it conducive to grasp a Japanese language fast there? Is there a good or a better option for part time jobs? Is house rent cheaper than the others?
Every Japanese speaks Japanese.The only problem you might face is the way they speak. People from Osaka sounds a little different from people from Tokyo. Although that was my experience as a tourist, but that’s what I noticed. I think that’s what they refer to when they say someone is from the kansai region or the kanto region (correct me if I’m wrong)Also, part time jobs vary from place to place so there is no sure conclusion. You may find a lot of part time job in Osaka than in Gifu or vice versa.House rent depends on the location. Expect cheaper rents as you go farther from the city.
Why does japan and s.korea not get along?
Usually neighbor countries are not so friendly each other. Japan once and near recently made Korea under controlled by one way rule between 1910 and 1945. Korean can remember it's disgrace. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korea_under_Japanese_rule Japanese government those days just considered it was same standard like many European countries had colonized African and/or American natives. China was struggled with the civil wars and weaken day by day those days. It was right time for Japan to dominate east Asia instead of China as many other developped countried did some other places else. It was not fair I think personally, but could be one of way of life to survive those days for Japan. It was sort of the life-and-death struggle in history. I know there were too sad stories those days in Korea and Japan. But it was also hapapend in Afrika and America or Caribbean teritory. Unfortunately Japan lost WWⅡ and everything Japanese done was judged as anti-humanistic behaviors by its Imperialism. History has always contradiction and loser is nothing. However Japan has been rebuilt back and on the contrary, Korean is still just second grade of developed society in the world. It is very interesting. Korean hates Japanese because Japanese is just same Asian but superb more than Korean in the world as the matter of the fact and Japanese hates Korean because Korean hates Japanese. Chinese tend to incite Korean being against Japanese too. That is Chinese tactics. They are considering sooner or later to conquer Asia instead of Japan. For China, Korea is just a one of their subordinate countries. Actually Korea can't defy China at all.
From Busan to Fukuoka,will tsushima strait tunnel made Japanese-Korean relationship better?
Tsushima Strait is the most suitable route and the shortest distance bt. Japan and Korea. From Seoul to Busan by Gyeongbu Expressway,and then build a tunnel tunnel just like Britain and France. Across Tsushima Island and Ikki Island of Japan, and finally arrived Fukuoka(Northern Kyushu), and If you want to continue to the south kyushu by south and you finally arrived okinawa. If you want to go to Tokyo, you must across Honshu by Japan railway. Busan-Tsushima-Ikki-Fukuoka North line: Fukuoka-Kitakyushu-Honshu-Osaka-Tokyo-S... South line: Fukuoka-Kumamoto-Kagoshima-Okinawa
Are there many black people born in Japan?
There are people that are foreigners and they are born and raised in Japan. They can have citizenship, and most have dual citizenship. Then of course you have the Korean japanese who can't go back to korea, but must change their korean name to a japanese name in order to get citizenship. But for the most part Japan is mostly Japanese. With the exception of Tokyo, and Beppu where they have the highest concentration of foreigners. I've only met 1 American that was born and raised in Fukuoka. I'm living in Japan right now, and I am black. There are a lot of Africans living in Japan also, and a lot of African Americans. Lots of Turkish people. There are lots of foreigners in Japan. They just don't make up the majority, but you will most definitely run into them. The younger generation is more accepting to foreigners. If you go into a small town. Everyone will follow you or would just want to talk to you etc etc. Or they will just stare at you, but China is like this also. Turkey is like this once you leave the coastline and also once you get out of IStanbul(international city). Tokyo is an international city so you rarely face these problems except for when it comes to tourist. Once you get your alien card. Things are a bit different in treatment. But Japan is all about fitting in, and foreigners they grow up there have a childhood of either lots of hardship if they were sent to a typical japanese school, or it'll be quite a normal childhood if they were sent to an international school, and there are tons of those. Just by not being Japanese you are already considered not even apart of the social structure there. This is a double edge sword. It is bad but it can be good as the pressure pressed on japanese people in society is rough. YOu do get Japanese people who lived elsewhere or have left japan for a year or two, and they come back to Japan finding out that they aren't so accepted in society for being too foreign. So everyone gets it. Japanese society is very much xenophobic and very much them against us, but you will always find a lot of people within every society they just doesn't accept the norm, and there are tons of people like this who think that exposure to other cultures is an important thing. I found many and I live in kyushu XD
Is it really possible to distinguish Chinese, Japanese and Korean people based only on facial features?
It depends. While there are some who look ‘classically’ Japanese, Korean, or Chinese, please remember that thousands of years of close proximity (with resultant invasions, especially of Korea, but also settlements of people… for ex., Fukuoka, Japan, has had settlements of Korean and Chinese merchants going back a thousand years)… well, all these invasions/migrations have resulted in much intermarriage.When I worked in Korea, I read that Koreans, for example, generally overlap genetically about 60% with Japanese and 30% with Chinese. (Plus, ancient Koreans settled Japan thousands of years ago, though the Japanese intermarried with indigenous people already settled on the Japanese islands.).Basically, however, there’s no way to be certain that you’ve selected the ‘right’ nationality when meeting someone for the first time. AND (and the biggest problem) is that the Japanese, Koreans and Chinese don’t ‘get along’ very well - in fact, many seem to hate the other 2 nationalities. Unlike in the West, where most will not be offended if, for example, someone innocently assumes the person is German instead of Danish, or American instead of Canadian, etc., many (if not most) NE Asians will be highly offended at being mistaken for another nationality. So my advice is - don’t go there.
Are there fat and overweight Koreans and Japanese? I have not seen one nor in movies.
So many! Of course the TV only shows the good things. Korea is no different from other countries. They all bare different fruit. They may struggle more in these countries, a lot of shops only sell up to a certain size and even Bra sizes above a C is hard to find. Thats why you see only skinny people, the majority audience prefers and wants to be skinny. I don’t think its a bad thing. I prefer this than promoting unhealthy bodies, like in the USA. It really makes you reflect your health decisions.. makes me go to the gym more often..As for Japan; I have only been to Fukuoka and most the younger women were on the thin side… except the older women who has a larger bone density.
What Green tea do Japanese people drink?
