how's Ashikaga-shi,Tochigi pref.?
I notice it's really small, "about 160,000 people". Would I be the only foriegner there? While I don't wanna be a gaijin-only-snob I think it would be nice to have some other foriegners nearby for an occasional good round of emotinal support and/or jap-bashing. What's it like to live there (if any of you out there have lived there)?
Second largest city in Tochigi? What's largest? Anything interesting to see there?
Hows transportation to get around the prefecture?
how about to get OUT of the prefecture? Am I gonna be dying to get out of the prefecture???
how's the local dialect?
Hows the living expenses?
basically if anybody's lived there or someplace just like it, what should I know before-hand??
My language ability is something like, I'm able to have conversations pretty well but sounds unnatural and I'm lacking alot of vocab..
I'm looking at college there, so I'm thinking more long term rather than toursity things. most likely 1-year there and then moving to Tokyo.
Thanks for the help,
Stets
