do crabs think fish are flying




do you even remember any of it? i can't read or write Japanese anymore but i can pick up on what people are saying in subs and i remember a lot about the culture

Y'know funnyenough I just started studying it again over the past week n a half now and its been really easy memorizing the kana.

Well Hawaii is special. A large chunk of people in Hawaii is Japanese descent. So Japan is really close to hawaii. Heck it you have a Japanese passport, your entry to Hawaii is guaranteed

i thought Australia was the closest western ally with Japan we both rely on each other heavily for trading and i also think Australia is the western nation with the most Japanese living abroad but its only like 30,000 people i think
i don't get them i know its their culture not to date other races because of cultural differences but nearly all the Japanese ive met here are single

i should probably pick it up again i cook Japanese dishes a lot but the store i go to speaks no English and and i feel rude just pointing to things

Idk, maybe? also, I can't read/write, or speak Japanese.

 

[Mikazuki Marazhu]

I can't do any of that, I never chose to learn.

I don't think you need to at this point. There is really no reason to learn Japanese unless you live here.

Learning English has never been more important here than ever before.

you know i'm only just now realizing how much Japanese shit i have a lot of my furniture is from Muji more than half my food is completely in Japanese what the fuck man

@Mikazuki Marazhu are you guys invading us again and taking over via cultural influence

agreed it irritates me when people do stupid shit like "imma do Japanese in university then move to tokyo and open a muffin shop" learning Japanese if you're not going to move there is really only beneficial if you're an automotive engineer

Japanese is the 3rd hardest language to learn.
Heck even some people I know can't read all the kanji (there are 2000+ kanji characters)
I even fall short since my life was shared between Hawaii and here

fuck i hated Kanji i never got gud with it we were told to study it well since it would help if we ever wanted to learn Mandarin a project once was that we had to do Kanji Calligraphy and our teacher (native Japanese) got fucking pissed with us cause almost no one could do it properly it was right at the end of mandatory Japanese at like year 10 and everyone was switching over to German which is much easier for an English speaker to learn

Mandarin is too hard, it's best to just drop that language. I don't care if China is growing economically, I don't want to learn a writing system that never stops increasing

Yes you heard me right... There is unlimited kanji in Chinese writing

yeah i know growing up one of my friends was Chinese and he lived only a few houses away so his house was my house and my house was his house kind of thing so i learnt a lot about them too i prefer Japanese over Chinese China has a superiority complex you need to do what they want they have this real "you're living in China we just haven't conquered you yet" kind of attitude

Oh fucking hell, you know how we feel about Chinese people :V

in all honesty we feel the same mate... Chinese are tolerated here simply because they came over to AUS with us with the UK but FUCK ME i can't stand some of them particularly the peasant farmers that are brought over by their kids did you know the Chinese government actually had to produce a video telling them how to behave here... i had to fucking call the cops on them

i get in China they don't have property lines and stuff but one of them came onto my lawn was peering through my window and would just smile at me when i pulled the curtains back i yelled at him and he yelled back and then went over to his house again few days later he's just cutting my flowers and taking them...

what else was there... he defecated in his front garden he sits in his front yard just staring and will throw food scraps into other peoples lawns he plays traditional Chinese music real loud but he has stopped though at least with me he saw me leaving for work one morning in uniform and he stopped after that

i spoke to his daughter she just said "he's from another time i doesn't understand" fuck off he doesn't make him understand the daughter said the peering through the window and trying to open the front door was a cultural thing too she said in china villagers would just walk into each others homes and sit down and smoke and talk my mates mother was a peasant that grew up in communist china she never acted like that ever but she would act like i was her son though

and there was another chinese family down the street that set fireworks off whenever they felt like it and use other peoples driveways it took several visits from the police before they stopped (no i didn't call them)
