    1) The country in general is really amazing :D 2) Well once you meet the first person you will get to know there friends and so on/ people treat you really nicely not the same as a person born in Japan but you are still treated very nicely. 3) I love the food, its really good its mostly a fish type of diet but its really good/yes they do they have buger king mcdonalds etc/ well like i said its a fish diet so if you like fish it should be really easy if not im sure you can find many places where you can eat food without meat. 4) The language is harder to learn than most languages. 5) I still listen to rock type of music or jazz 6) I moved because i really love Japan i have loved it since i was young 7) Depends, if you live in Tokyo it can be really expensive but you can find places that are fairly cheap 8) Im not to sure -_- i just went to class studied and worked hard. 9) They are really nice, i recommend learning at least simple phrases such as thank you etc. it will help you out 10) Yes they can be very religious, the people are peaceful and the sights are just pure amazing if your in Tokyo its a really beautiful city and if you get a chance go to Kyoto its really peaceful and relaxing 11) Yes there are many places to go so you wont have to worry about that. 12) I cant really tell but i think Japan is bigger in cities there are ALOT of people. 13) i LOVE it here at first it may be hard but later it will be one of the greatest experiences in your life 11 out 10 14) At first it may be hard but it gets alot better Hope this helped :D

Lol really long question , ill try and answer. I went to Japan on an exchange when i was 16. 1) The country is GREAT! Healthy mix of rural and urban cities and towns. 2) You will get the odd stare if you live in a smaller town , where people arent used to foreigners, but generally , people will think of you as a "celebrity". 3) Food is quite nice , if you enjoy fish,rice,fish,fish,fish,rice. BUT, they have a mc donalds on every street. 4) Japanese is one of the more harder languages to learn , probably because it has 3 alphabets. But apart from that , the language is soooooooo easy to pick up. 5) In japan , J-rock and J-pop. 6)Went on an exchange because i wanted to experience something new , and now moved and living there , because i overall love the culture and people. (japanese girls r soooooo HOT) 7)In Tokyo , everything is really really expensive, but suburbs and outskirts, and practically everywhere except tokyo , are generally the same or a bit less , than other western countries. 8)Umm , i went to a high school? 9)Veryy veryy friendly , but really shy aswell , so you need to approach them first. 10)People arent really that religious , most are Buddhist or Shinto , so they are naturally really peaceful and calm people. Temples always look stunning! 11)YES! theres a arcade on every main street , these usually include in them , bowling alley , food etc, to be honest , TV is Cr----ap in Japan. The electronics are 1 step ahead of other western countries , but no one flies on jet packs , or has laser beams coming out there anus.What i mean by 1 step ahead is - People in america, use broadband , but people in japan generally use high speed fiber optic internet, people in america have to flush there own toilets , people in japan stand up , wash their hands , and the toilet flushes itself! 12) WAYYY bigger. The urban areas are really cramped , so people usually pay a fortune for a 1 room , yes 1 room flat(living room, kitchen,bedroom,all in one room)Japan is smaller than england , but has a 4 times larger population. 13)100000000000 out of 100000000000 14) You may experience a bit of a culture shock , but you get used to it quickly. 13) 12) 12)
