I used to have a huge problem with acne. A dermotoligist precribed benzol peroxide and clyndomison for my skin problem as well as some antibiotics. I stopped taking the antibiotics after the MAJOR problems subsided but continued using benzol peroxide and clyndomison. Now I only use a little clyndmis...

damn Kanin beat me to it. Yeah, he's right. I'm not trying to be rude or hostile, but your answer is simply this: "the same way you were interested enough go actually go there". I mean it definitely must take A LOT of interest to spend a good deal of money to go to a place for only a few d...

LOL so I'm a 'Japanophile' now. If its not's one thing - it's the other with you! The latter which you claim to have contributed has never surfaced in my Travel thread. You did contribute about hitting up Shibuya. Then you proceeded on asking what the age ranges there were... hmmm, imho yeah pretty...

kotaeshiranaihito

OK now on to your point about me being worse than those I am 'berating'. I was intrigued by Japanese culture BEFORE I went to Japan but that was due to documentaries that came on tv and the amazing films I had watched ever since I was little. That was what influenced my decision to go to Japan - wh...

Wow, not bad. Out of the asian languages why choose korean over japanese or chinese? Was there a specific reason, or was it a flip a coin kind of thing?

Firstly - I didn't spend anything near '$4000' - and secondly, I knew basic Japanese - enough to get by as a tourist and thirdly - when I was there I visited two family friends. So what point are you trying to make? That you shouldn't look down on others for simply loving something (and not spendin...

I'm pretty sure it's not just them. Japanese people generally don't have much respect for otakus, Japanese or American. I'm not sure to which degree dramas are socially accepted, though. When talking to Japanese people, I most often got the notion that they found dramas to be 'girly stuff' and I ne...

lol, I feel your pain housefan. But this can be advantageous to you as well. Just say that you don't like anime, manga, or that other otaku stuff and that you think people that do are annoying, and you'll immediately make a lot of friends-have tried this myself, it works. And to answer your question...

@blamvitaburst so in other words, you're angry at people for doing nothing more than thinking. Get over your PC crap and stop letting them bother you. If they choose to think like that let them. No, it doesn't hurt asian women, nor does it hurt you (since you probably have no intention of dating the...

@nea that's fine. I honestly haven't read any of your recent posts-tooooooooooooooooo long. I just remember the ones you posted a while ago as a response to me.

the one I dated had a nice face and a killer body (had to get that out of the way). Also one thing that was different about her is that she never wanted to hang out with me, only dates.

I think you're getting confused by what they mean based on what a hostess is here. Unlike here where a hostess just seats people and makes reservation, that is not what it is in Japan. What those links were talking about is called a kyabakuraajo (or cabaret girl). They pretty much get paid to "...

It's simple, all you have to do is throw the letter away and pretend like you never got it. That's what I always do. Don't worry if their letters start sounding threatening (they threaten with a fine and other stuff), as long as they can't prove that you read the letter, they can't touch you.

It really depends on where you start. If you start from Japanese, learning Chinese isn't too hard and vice versa. I learnt Chinese first and then Japanese.
