Not always, my friends and I always admired this dude who knows absolutely everything about trains and the Japan Railway company!

In the end it all depends on the person! （●＾o＾●）

Nice Thread.. and these are based on your personal experience, right? So there is no doubt that 'this' is the 'real' Japan.
And, one thing. Are you really an Indonesian? Where do you live right now?

I believe that he (I think it's a he... o.o) is a haafu as what they call it in Japan.

Sorry, but in Indonesia, as I currently living in it... If both parents are Indonesia(Nationality) the child is also considered an Indonesia. and we are not allowed to have more than one nationalities and that is Indonesian and only Indonesia (but you can let go of your Indonesian Nationality if you wish to change your nationality.)

Any way, I'm just quite excited to see(well.. kinda like that) another Indonesian in international forums such as ASF..

Ahh, I see. Thanks, I've learned something new yet again!

 

[SainTPrimE]

No prob... I always love to tell others about my country. I'm proud to be a good Indonesian. >_<

 

[AhGwee]

A good Indonesian? xD

 

[SainTPrimE]

Yes, what's wrong with that?...
In every country, every place, and every edges of the world there are always good and bad. As a citizen it's my duty to obey the law and pay my taxes.... and.. become an example to others...

 

[AhGwee]

Sorry, I didn't mean any offense in what I said, but I understand where you are coming from. I just found the wording funny, is all. I assume that most people I talk to are generally good people anyway. Once again, I apologise for any offenses this may have caused.

Uninstall is currently living in The Netherlands... His father is Japanese and his mother is Indonesian. He loves both cultures and enjoys his current location, but has a deep respect and holds more memories for the other two.

Also it's nice for SainTPrimE to uphold certain standards and commit to certain aspects for a good life...

It's also good to learn new things like AhGwee mentioned.

 

[SainTPrimE]

Nah... I'm fine.. No hard feelings, after all each every one of us is equal and the same, right?

 

[sasake]

It's okay to watch the videos... Uninstall put them there to set the mood and to display certain areas and notions about Japan.

Hope it helps you and please enjoy watching them. ^^

By the way... Can any one post about how to get a scholarship in Japan? Cause my parents aren't that rich I can't just travel to another country that easy...

I actually simply wanted to point out the misconceptions people have, believing Japan is some fantasy land. Unfortaunately it isn't - life in Japan is surprisingly tough, especially as an adult - there are homeless, depressed, corruption just like in any other country. Of course I'm not attacking Japan, in fact, I absolutely love Japan. Once again, I just wanted to point out the misconception.

Nice Thread.. and these are based on your personal experience, right? So there is no doubt that 'this' is the 'real' Japan.

Hi SanTPrime, thanks for your post - I don't really want to get personal in this thread but: Yes, my grandfather passed away as an Indonesian for political and "moral" (I don't know how to put it) reasons so I'm proud to say I'm Indonesian boy! But my parents are working in The Netherlands right now so I am living in The Netherlands, where I was born.

And yes, it's all based on personal experience so what I've written is based on my thoughts. If you want less opinion, I suggest heading to Japan Guide - they have some excellent articles there. However since it's like a tourism site, they won't tell you the negative things, so I try my best to be honest here without offending any one.

Sorry, but in Indonesia, as I currently living in it... If both parents are Indonesia(Nationality) the child is also considered an Indonesia. and we are not allowed to have more than one nationalities and that is Indonesian and only Indonesia (but you can let go of your Indonesian Nationality if you wish to change your nationality.)

This is true, however, I am not 18 yet - so until then I could have two nationalities (there are plenty of people I know here in the Netherlands who are under 18 and "Indo". But I don't because my dad has already gotten an Indonesian citizenship far before I was born - so in other words, I have Indonesian nationality, and Dutch residence because of my dad's work here. My parents are currently busy getting a Dutch citizenship.

I'm not so 100% sure about immigration laws and all that, right now it's a mess, my family is spread across Japan, Indonesia and The Netherlands, with different nationalities. My grandmother and some other family from my dad's side is now living in Japan as Japanese.

Oh, and glad to have another Indonesian on board! There's plenty in ASF!! (*ﾟ∀ﾟ)っ

Big thanks to SainTPrime for enlightening some people about immigration laws, thank you!
And I'm glad you all can learn new things!!

By the way... Can any one post about how to get a scholarship in Japan? Cause my parents aren't that rich I can't just travel to another country that easy...

I will look for you, I haven't really any experience with that since I've only gone to middle school/one year of high school!

I believe that he (I think it's a he... o.o) is a haafu as what they call it in Japan.

haha by blood I'm not exactly "hafu"
And double nationality with Japanese is impossible at any age, I believe, under some circumstances it's possible, but I'm not sure - I'll ask my dad tonight (○・▽・○)
And yes haha I'm a boy! (o´'∀'｀o)

Yes, what's wrong with that?...

Hey respect man, I really respect people like you - big up! (･∀･`o)
I mean yes there are wrong doers everywhere (especially in high places) but they'll get it back a thousand times harder one day.

 

[SainTPrimE]

Ah... I see, and I have to admit. Your 'Comments' aren't just regular comments....

It's too bad you don't know about the scholarship system in Japan (I'm not blaming you tough.. so no offense. ^_^) cause I really want to get a scholarship there(cause Japanese schools are 'the best' I attend one for 2 years in Junior High when I'm living with my uncle that works for a Japanese company due to my request to take me with him). It was quite a lot of fun, and 2 years from now I'm going to enter university so I'm looking for one in Japan (I can't rely on my uncle any more cause he is now placed in Qatar by the company he works in)..

Any one can help me with taht?

Hi SainTPrimE - Glad you had a good time in a Japanese school! ヽ(○・▽・○)ノ゛
My sister studied in a Japanese university so I will also ask how it all works.
