In person, cyber friends are not included :D

PS: Nihonjin should not vote :D

Well Vapour.

I live there

So more than 20 for me

I hope I dont get booted for this

But the question should be...........

"How many Japanes people have you (cant say the word) since arriving"

I met 3 or more.

Just one, a girl from Hokkaido.

At least 25, including three exchange students who have lived with my family.

I don't remember how many, but +25. One of them is my girlfriend :clown:

:D :colgate: ;) :cheers:

I only know about 5 people.

Tons and Tons. One of my old roommates was Japanese.

First answer- too many to count
Second answer- 1 :love:

I met quite a surprising number when I was in Japan both times.

A whole lot. I live in Japan. :)

I only know 10 of them well though.

omg y is ther so much novelty in knowing somebody from japan??.. whether nihonjin or gaijin they are ppl with same sense of style, taste, sometimes even background.. living in london, i have friends from wherever in the world: chinese, filipino, korean, japanese, ghanaian, carribean, nigerian, english, american, pakistani, thai, arab, malaysian, mauritian, singaporean, indonesian-(wherever they come from!!) friends, NEVER do i take my friends as trophies or living souvenir dolls! inevitably i'm friends of theirs bcoz we share many things in common... maybe alot of the people puttin hype on knowing japanese ppl are those who come from countries where they dont see many other races or nationalities.. well then come live in london :D .. half of the whole world is here LOL

none :(

Heheheheheheh.

You did well in that department mate.

Not much but got some good freinds there

[B][B]I've never met a Japanese, more Chinese people. There are a lot of them in Rotterdam City, which is very nice! :) I would like to meet them and have plans to go to Japan someday. :)

I have some Japanese in my English class too.

i meet 1 japanese his a karate mester

probably more than 20 people, im not friends with all of them, but i do know them :)

Well, every Westerner gets his chance in Japan, no matter how he looks like. Heaven? :)

During my trips i talked with 2. Both are female.
I met the first one during my flight from Tokyo to Frankfurt.

I met the second in a train in Kyoto. We spent the whole day together. It was very nice.

Im ariving in Tokyo in just over a month... hopefully i'll get to "meet" some people... ive ensured a nice comfortable bed will be available for me to... sleep... in... ;)

None...

Trying to find one~ T-T, very few in Toronto...

I have "met" over 3,000 Japanese people (estimate) simply by stepping in to NARITA Airport.

But in the Minneapolis area, I only talk to around 4 people.

after reading the topic again, ive "Met" thousands, just walking around in Tokyo :D

more than 20, sure ;)

+20, all women, Japanese women seems to be smarter than men. I worked there for a few months, without women they are nothing, the men are to afraid to make radical decissions, unlike there women.

A lot, my father is one ^.^ And i have a lot of friends in Nagoya and Osaka, in Tokyo only a few!

friends and acquantances. less than 10. 1) mariko - classmate in english class from ibaraki 2) teppei - roommate in dorm from fukuoka 3) daiki - teppei's friend from yokohama 4) yuri - their friend. has business in manila 5) masatoshi - traveller. dunno where from. 6) mariko (2nd) - full-blooded japanese but lives in downtown manila. can't even speak japanese. is she counted?

i've encountered several others but i don't know them personally. it's nice cos there's not a lot of japanese here. i'm glad the ones i met are really good ones. left nice impressions.

but i know lots of japanophiles over here!

tons
my wife is Japanese and we go back there at lest once a year...

should change topic "KNOW THEM", as in u know him/her, and vice versa... i only know 1, in my workplace. but i wanna know more, haha!

well ive met alot of japanese people plus i like em because they see my views for one thing on china alot say chinese are greedy,sly etc and i will give them credict on that because i can see the same way as they do and i tell em too what i think when they ask what do you think about the chinese and they go you have same opions as me plus there more polite than chinese and more spacious people they never are hardly greedy and they ain't just a one people thing they accept other cultures!!!

I just couldn't stop laughing when I read your post. Being a chinese who like travelling around, I have met a lot of f__ked up American around the world, but I wouldn't think every American is the same. I'm pretty sure there are some nice ones out there.
You may have met some really greedy chinese in your life, but they don't represent the rest of the 1.2 billion chinese population.
You know when you are with people with another nationalities, you like to talk about something bad about some other nationalities. This is quite common and doesn't necessarily mean that's universal opinion.

1-2 persons, Iam not really sure.

My mother is Japanese, so that's at least one.

More than 20; I lived there for 2.5 years. Wish I could meet more here in MN to keep up my speaking ability...

HSBC, I'm one of the nice ones you speak of... I too have met alot of ignorant people in my time but i try to phase out what they say?

As far as japanese...I have met probably 3 at the most. In the House of kobe, the Service attendance and the two cooks by the bar.

Vapour, this may sound very silly but are you Japanese or a foreigner living in Japan?

Anyway, I have some Japanese friends mostly either graffiti writers or DJs. They reside in Osaka.

Here's a pic of them :D

Haven't you noticed that sometimes I post threads in Spanish? :D

My boss is Japanese (cool guy), my friend in kindergarden was half Japanese, We had a student who moved from Japan to study in America during high school and he was into PS2 and stuff at the time, spoke some broken english. So 3.

when japanese butcher,aggression,kill,burn,rob,and eating live people

Eating live people? That's a new one.

Before I came to Japan, I only knew about 10 from the neighborhood (suburban New York). Japanese don't seem to congregate in small communities very much... not like Chinatown or Little Italy or anything like that.
