I am yet another newbie on this forum and just thought I would say hello to you all.
I have only been lurking for 1 day before I decided to join, the reason for this was that I found this forum to be VERY informative! I spent hours last night reading through old posts and I really did learn alot about Japan from people who have been there and know first hand.
It is hard to find good (first hand) info on Japan, and to find a place like this is a amazing thing. I also found some links to language programs on this site wich I hope will be usefull to me in the future. Overall I have had a great time here, and it's only my first day!
Hi and welcome, yeah this place really has gret info, you especially might want to chek out the stuff written on the site, outside the forum, there is very good info there, from japanese movies, to society etc.
Hey Jungle Boy, like you said, this place has a ton of great information, which is one of the reasons I joined. Well, that and the smileys. Sooo much to read, woohoo!
