Greetings all!
I just found this website and thought it looked interesting. I am a missionary kid who grew up in Japan and recently returned to America and thought that I would get to know the American people better, so feel free to ask questions or just talk with me, or simply check out my bio on the Who's who page.

Konnichiha! Ogenki desu ka? well...that's about half the Japanese I know :sweat: I'm trying to teach myself with discs and a course book. I might get to go on a study abroad program to Japan during the summer so I'm gonna try my best to learn as much Japanese as I can. So how is it over there in Japan at this time of the year? oh hey cool you sometimes live in Dallas, I live in Houston

It is one of the most beautiful times of the year. If the rain has been good then the flowers will have reached their full bloom by now and will be beginning to die off. It is truly a physical example of the greatness of God.

It is awesome, I hope you get to go on your study abroad program. There no better way to learn what you want to than to immerse yourself in it.

So you're a missionary from Japan to the American people? That's really cool! I always wondered why we were always sending missionaries out to everyone like we didn't need missionaries. Heaven knows we certainly do! Anyway, I'd like to be a missionary some day. Are you going on your own or with MCC or something like that? Well, I'll probably have more questions later, but I don't want to overload you with lots of stuff so soon. So, in conclusion, welcome, brother.

Sorry if it confused anyone, but I am a missionary TO Japan not FROM it. I have been a missionary kid in Japan for most of my life. My father teaches at Tokyo University, so we have a home there and a larger ancient style home in Kyoto, and an extremely nice vacation house on Okinawa Island. For super in depth stuff, just read my bio on the Who's Who page.

You are a missionary from Japan? That is very interesting! I have done some research about the history of Christianity in Japan! How is life in Japan? I hope you enjoy Christian Anime Alliance! There are many interesting things about this site as well. I hope you will stay. God bless

Life in Japan is very different to say the least. The only way to truly understand it is to visit for yourself one day. I love this site! It is extremely refreshing to know that someone is making an effort to get Christians together under a common bond of some sort.

Welcome to the board. Have fun and post alot.


There is one questions that I have to ask.

Do most people in Japan know english? I have been wondering this, since US and Japan has alot of dealings with each other.

Students in Japan are required to take an English class in school, but it is mostly grammar and composition so they do not speak English very well at first, but they catch on fast.

Welcome, SpikeSpiegel306.

We do not have many members who live in Japan. I am sure your input on this country's culture will be helpful for the discussions at this site.

Enjoy your stay here.
