Introducing myself

[Julienne]

Hello!

I'm just new here, happened to stumble upon this site when looking for info for my English essay on discrimination in Japan towards foreigners. Definetely found the right site for this I must say; I've already read quite a lot and there is still so much left to read!

Well, also a bit about myself. My name is Julienne, I'm 21 and I'm studying Japanese in Maastricht, in the Netherlands. I'm going to Japan next year (kyouto gaidai), as a part of my study. Will only be there for 4 months, but am already very excited about going, since I've never been to Japan before.

Haven't looked around the forum very much yet, except for my essay, but I think I will be spending quite some time here

[Julienne]

Thanks! But just changed it into an old favorite... I'm a bit inconstant about my avatars, so it will probably change a few times before I find a permanent one...

 

[Alma]

hahaha no need to explain! i changed mine numerous times!
