Question

i don't wanna feel like using you or anything, that's not what i'm here for, i need a japanese friend, i know what your thinking, why the h**l do you need a friend that japanese, i'm not being racist. I need a friend that's japanese to show me around japan, cuz i'm planning on going to japan next summer (summer '09) for maybe a month or so, my parents said that i'd need to know someone from

there, to show me around, that's where the "i don't wanna use you" comes in, i don't wanna use u as a source of my enjoyment and i don't wanna use u to increase my friend count, thats just plain stupid, i don't wanna take advantage of you wat so ever, please contact me on my myspace http://www.myspace.com/totally_twist3d; your probably thinking this is stupid, but it will really help me, and think about it, it wud be cool to have a friend in japan :D

i know this sounds weird to ask to become friends out of the blue, but if you, who ever are reading this, has a friend

that lives in japan or even you, if u know everything about japan contact me, that would be greatly be appreciate....

oh, and please be nice about it, theres no need to be rude,

THANK YOU :D

In the event that you don't find a friend here you may want to take a look here:

This site should be useful for you.

Just hire one of the many "high-quality guide-interpreters" listed here and you'll get around Japan just fine.

Have your parents take a look at the site too, that should put them at ease.

Hope that helps!

EDIT: The reason I listed that link was because you worried about "using someone" just to show you around. With that link you wouldn't be. Those people are trained to do just that and they'll do the job they're hired for.

BUT, if you want to find a "friend" to show you around, check here:

Good luck!
