If i watched tokyo drift and liked it enough to want to move to tokyo is that ok

Oh...sure, go ahead. I thought you were gonna say you wanna go there because you thought all the cars would be uber sports cars, all drifting through the city.Kikouken

I wouldn't mind driving one of those things in my city. It wouldn't be very lady-like, but it sure would cause some nosebleeds to the Japanophiles that used to go to my school.

Move to Tokyo if you want.....but its not going to be the same as what you saw in the movie.darksword1123

yeah, that much i figured out. are places really that small there?

so i saw the movie "Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift" and it just madi me go crazy over japanese culture and history. i even did my research project on feudal japan. am i taking this to far? i grew up on the us east coast and tokyo seems pretty like a pretty different place. Any advice?auron_16

Sure go ahead, but the movie wasn't filmed in Tokyo it was filmed in New York and modified the city with cgi.

To the TC - There's nothing wrong, in fact I encourage you. I myself plan to move to Japan someday when I can afford it. There are many reasons for such a move, but we should prob save that for another thread.

ok, a modified Honda with anime (risque too) plastered all over it. How much more [modern] Japanese can you get. I have to go there one day just to experience it

Tokyo/Japan is nothing like what you see in Tokyo Drift. If you want a detailed and realistic view of Japan then I strongly suggest you watch All About Lily Chou-Chou and Bounce Ko Gals. I also recommend you read some of Haruki Murakami's books.

It's far from how you picture it....and there's a reason why Japan has one of the highest suicide rates in the world.

don't believe everything you see in movies :P

the culture there is pretty different though.

Chicks and cars aside, there are many excellant reasons to move to Japan. I'm sure people can come up with negative things to say, no nation is perfect. But Japanese society is definitely more respectful, civilized and hard-working than most Americans. I would move to Japan ina heartbeat if I could afford it.

I couldnt imagine living there for the rest of my life, but I would definitely try it out for as long as I can.

You are right. They are a lot more respectful. People there bow when they greet each other and they are extremely polite.

Have you ever been there? They're extremely racist and xenophobic, don't expect to be treated as if you yourself were japanese but if you can look past these flaws...then by all means, go for it.
