This wasn't even really a challenge, okay maybe it is a little. I'd like to live in Japan. I know there's probably a handful of people that think I'm crazy, but I've love the culture, the music, and the people. I've had a few friends on Facebook from Japan. While I know a lot of Japanese culture isn't much different from America's the hard work for little pay, the social life. I just have always had that love for Japan.

I'm not really a big fan of Manga and Anime as much as I am a fan of the Japanese music.

@imravi it depends if you like rock music or not. I like Miyavi, The Gazette, but when I'm not into their music I do like ayumi hamasaki. and Hatsune Miku.

I'm a huge anime fan. Btw would you consider living in Rome? I personally love roman architecture.

I don't know If I'd like Rome as much, while it might have more classic architecture, I don't know how Rome is now as a modern day country, and visiting I would like to get to know the people of whatever countryi ti s that I'm visiting, so I could learn more.

@Nishkriti Exactly, if it wasn't Japan, I'd probably go to Spain, since my great great grandma is supposedly from Spain and a gypsy and find it as cool

Aw, too bad. I really haven't heard many stories as much as seen photos, from a friend that I had on Facebook, even though his life seemed like everywhere else, he had pictures of food, pictures of his niece and he had parents that wanted him to find a wife.

When I was a child I had a pen-pal from Osaka Japan. Though we fell out of touch a long time ago, it has always been on my mind to make a trip to Japan. The way he used to describe their culture remains imprinted on my mind.

I've only seen recent pictures from people on Facebook, or Instagram or I'd read something online about how nice Japan is.

Have you been to Japan already? My husband loves Japan, and he was there for three weeks, as well as my ex-flatmate. They both said that the first shock you get when you arrive there and the second when you come back. :) I plan to go next year and see myself. I never was a huge fan of their culture but I'm naturally curious, and I like anime. ;)
