Hi. I thought it might be time for me to introduce myself (I've been lurking here reading posts for a month or so.).
I'm a guy from Sweden in my mid-20's. I find Japan interesting and I recently began to study japanese.
I've realized that a lot of people become interested in Japan through japanese pop, cartoons & anime. Those things have never really appealed to me. Not that I've really given it a chance... Feel free to recommend movies and stuff that can "convert" me.
So what is it about Japan that I like? well... I don't know. Perhaps it's interesting because it's so different. Or it's this image that I've had in my head since I was a kid of a country with wise old people that live in the mountains. Or whatever. I'm not gonna analyze it, just accept it.
That'll do as an introduction...
