Huh... I thought Noda was in Saitama... but I just looked at a map. I didn't realize Chiba cut up north so far.
Why in the heck do you like Noda City so much??? It's a subburb of Tokyo, and not even a main one at that. Does someone you know live there?

I have friends there - main reason. But it is a nice town. Quiet -- but full of life & history. Home to Kikkoman soy sauce... mmmmmmmmmm. Enough shops & all the needs of life. Haven't found a church there though.  |

Shibuya, Roppongi, Amote Sando(Harajuku) and Iidabashi all have English churches in Tokyo. All are accessable from Noda within an hour. |

My favorite part of her visit home is when she brings friends. I love the Japanese people. Someday I'll get to go there. |

I hope I can find some nice Christian friends. Thanks. |

Things people usually expect in the Japanese and its culture are not as you think any more unfortunately. Japan is one of the fast-changing country. We have lost many good-old-day things. But then that's exactly what's going on in the world... |

Well, I personally like Japan because I find the Japanese culture very interesting. The culture held respect above most things, and the people are very nice. I also like the Japanese language, and how it expresses things. I just... like Japan and Japanese things. It's a little hard to explain, but I don't love Japan just because of its animes. Animes got me into loving Japan, but it means a whole lot more than just that to me now. I just like Japan in general.
