Hello!

Thank you for reading this. I am Chris, a 32 Year old male from the USA. I am very interested in Japan and the language, and would like to exchange ideas, and hear about Japanese culture (day to day life especially.) I have been interested in Japan for a very long time, and would like to hear more about it! If you are interested in hearing about the USA, or are interested in life here, please email me. If you would also like to trade pictures or postcards, it would be most welcome too.

I am planning to visit Japan in 2006 and would love to hear about what to expect. I would also like to possibly make friends to visit while I am there. So feel free to email me!!

I love some american music, mostly light rock and top 40. I do listen to some Japanese pop music, but not much. Maybe you have a suggest of something to listen to? I also love movies (horror) the most. I would like to learn to read Japanese so that I may read many many books. It will also make staying there for a short time, a little easier I think.

If you are interested in hearing about daily life in the USA, along with some of the things going on, please email.

Thanks and have a great day :)

Hi, my name's Jeremy. I'm a 26 year old Chinese-American who's interested in music and Asian cinema. I'd like to find someone to talk to about Asian movies (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) and music in general (rock, electronic, folk, pop) and indie Japanese music in particular.

I've taken a little Japanese (for work communication and personal interest) and would like a chance to practice and learn more. I'm certainly willing to help someone with their English. I also speak some Chinese, but it's pretty poor, so I'm still working on that.

I'll admit I'm interested in anime and manga, but don't have to talk about that unless you're interested.

Looking for a guy or girl, preferably 20-30. Not specifically looking for romance, but I do have a thing for Japanese girls. ^_^

Hi there,

My name is David and I'm an average British guy.
My interests are going out for walks, watching TV, reading and other things.
I'd like to exchange E-mails with Japanese females only (I'm just more comfortable talking to girls then guys) between the ages of 16 and 35 (but you can be slightly older or younger).
A liking of anime and manga is preferred but is not that necessary.
Also I don't mind if you don't completely how to write properly in English as I can figure out what almost anything is meant to be but I can't understand Japanese at all (so any responses in Japanese won't get a reply).

Thanks for reading this.

Hello,
My name is Tony. I am an American male who is very interested in learning about the culture and language of Japan, as I would like to visit there sometime in the future.
I would like to talk with someone who wouldn't mind helping me expand my world. and in turn I would be honored to tell you or answer any questions about the United States.
I enjoy music (just about anything except rap), movies, the theatre, poetry (both reading and writing it), sports (especially baseball and golf), cooking, and anime.
Age and sex are not really important (although I would greatly enjoy conversing with Japanese women, I believe they are the loveliest in the world), but a good attitude, functioning brain cells, and a sense of humor is.
Please take a chance and e-mail me, you just might enjoy it.
Thanx for reading...

Until 6 months ago, I was a normal teenager living in the north of England. I got into trouble with the police and am now in a Young Offenders Institution for 18 months. I had hoped to go to University to study law but I know I've messed up my life. I'm learning Japanese while I'm in the YOI and one day I hope to visit Japan.

Receiving letters is so important to me at the moment. It's my one link with the outside world so it would be great to find a pen pal who would write to me from Japan and perhaps help me with the language.

The long version: My name is Lee. I am 25 and female, and I am interested in a lot of things in the world, but most of them are in the past or in books. I get very excited about strange things. Also I cook. Oh, and I have a cat, and a car that doesn't always work. I don't think I'm very interesting.

Sometimes I have to travel for my job, so I can't write every day, but I can write most of the time. Unfortunately I don't read Japanese (I studied a little in college, but that was 5 years ago and I was a bad student), but we can try to talk.
