Name: Laura
Location: Between France and Japan! currently in Japan
Why do you love Japan: I don't exactly love Japan itself, but I enjoy being here because of the good relationships I have here. I find japanese philosophy and history to be very interesting. Japanese food is irreplaceable and so is Japanese TV lol
Ever been to Japan, if so where: I've been several times... Mostly in Tokyo, Yokohama, Shizuoka and now I am in Nagoya.
Interests: Too many! My boyfriend, housekeeping (interest? duty!), history, art and music.
Other Gaian Hang Outs: X
Other Online Hang Outs: X
Personality: I'm open minded and polite. I laugh easily, very easily and people tell me it is the best part of my personality. I also cry easily...
Any other Additional Info: I am only 17 but I am already sharing an appartment with my boyfriend, who is as I have probably already said, Japanese. We are living in Nagoya and it is only my 2nd time in this city. I am looking forward meeting people who have already been/lived here and who want to give me advice on good places to go or visit. I also want to learn some more japanese! I know the basic conversation and writing stuff, but I think it is really not enough to live here.
OH... I don't like animation, although I sometimes find it enjoyable and watch it.

Name: Erica
Location: Maine, United States of America
Why do you love Japan: I absolutely love the music and culture, the clothing that you could never pull of anywhere else, and the food, actually I think that falls under 'the culture' but I felt like elaborating.
Ever been to Japan, if so where: No, I wish. :[
Interests: Video games, reading, CG, other so-called 'nerdy' things. x3
Other Gaian Hang Outs: The Extended Discussion is my second home.
Other Online Hang Outs: GreatestJournal communities
Personality: I generally am a pretty nice person, I give people who seem nice and respectful chances at friendship, I'm a bit naive, I suppose. I'm too trusting of people. I can be loud and crazy, but when the time calls for it I can be serious. I'm smarter than your average bear, and I'm a bit vain.

Name: Kannica; however, on Gaia I prefer to go by Unintentiona Happiness or Happiness - As it is my username/part of my username.
Location: California, USA
Why do you love Japan: The cultural differences and the amazing history of the country. It amazes me how a country that is generally just on an island could become one of the greatest power-houses of the world today. As well as the fact that they have been secluded for over many hundreds of years allowing them to be quite technologically advanced.
Ever been to Japan, if so where: ---
Interests: Playing Video Games, Drawing, Practicing my Art Skills (which are not the best yet), Learning different languages (right now I'm focusing on French so I can speak with my Grandmother and Little Brother in France), Reading, and Singing.
Other Gaian Hang Outs: The Barton Town Forum - School Subforum,
Other Online Hang Outs: Um, Neopets (I like the games), Kingdom of Loathing (Chat area - Haiku), and Myspace.
Personality: Cynical, loud, onery, bitchy, analytical, intelligent, stubborn, over-bearing, outgoing, obnoxious, optomisitic, happy-go-lucky, spontaneous, odd, offbeat, weird, asian (XD), Over-reactive, sensitive, tomboyish, ignorant, and a bit 'distant' emotionally.
Any other Additional Info I have many neurotic fears; these include a fear of the color blood red, being abducted by aliens, heights, and a fear of going down stairs. I'm about fourteen and yes, I'm serious about these fears.
