What interesting topic about America could I discuss in Japan?
I'm going to an international school in Japan in June for two weeks with three students and a teacher. Two years ago, students from the same school came to ours and talked about interesting cultural things about Japan (fashion, anime, school clubs). However, I have no idea what is interesting about America that I could give a little demonstration on. I'm not a sports person, or that big on fashion.

when i went to japan a year and a half ago, they seemed happy to learn ANYTHING about your daily life in america. now, is it a presentation or just casual talk? i let them ask any questions and then just let the words flow in my answer. they seemed into our music, politics (obama), and everyone asked me if i had a bf (because they assume every american girl is cute and has a bf). you could talk about the differences in our schools or the fact that public transportation is used a lot more in japan. or how the average american family functions as opposed to japanese families. it really is a whole new world, as aladdin says. have fun! it's my favorite country

About school is the great thing to talk about, like waht class you have to take to graduate, waht kind of classes your school has, or waht kind of activities there are.. etc. Also it's good to talk about holidays, because it's really defferent to Japan such as 4th of July and thnks giving. how cellebrate Christmas defferently in the US and in Japan. Hope you will have fun in Japan;D

You could discuss our major holidays, brief history on them and how they came about. It is always interesting to know the average schedule of a U.S. student's daily life(from average time of waking up to average bedtime) compared to a Japanese student, and briefly explain the ages and stages of schooling. Ask what their latest most wanted gadgets are at the moment and compare them to what gadget is hot in the US. Talk about what you yourself find fascinating in the US and /'or weird, and see if they agree. Talk about dating trends, fashion trends, automobiles, dining/food, tv shows that are popular, movies that are popular. And how anime is big in U.S./other trends that we have adopted from the Japanese that are so useful in our

Food is also a big topic of discussion or recreation areas. U.S. food you can talk about is Cajun, Southern food, Tex-Mex, etc.

You can discuss the land of where you are coming from. Talk about what is special to your home area. For example, if it is mountainous or farming or big city talk about what makes your place special and unique. Japanese always have something nice to say about their hometowns and there is something special like food or a cultural heritage that comes from that place. You can do the same. Another idea is to talk about some natural or entertainment parks. You can mention almost anything, the idea is to spark thought and conversation. Everything is interesting if it is new to you. Avoid any confrontational issues such as politics and or social problems
2 :
You can talk about social events that are held in High school. That's something that Japanese High schools can't experience like homecoming, prom, school traditions, school traditions you've had, or different college experiences. You can also talk about very American traditions in depth like Thanksgiving, Labor Day, Mardi Gras, etc. Perhaps they will get a kick hearing about Black Friday.

Do high school girls in Japan really make fanclubs for popular guys in school?
I got the idea from shoujo manga that's from Japan. And are they really that crazy about the guys where they would get all possessive and try to hurt any girl that gets close to him? (also from shoujo manga)

Never heard of that one.

I can imagine that. Maybe not a fanclub, but more like a group of liking popular guys. If you believe that what is from manga is true then your a FEG haha.

It's possible. But not so often. Sometimes, they make a fan club for popular teacher, too. >are they really that crazy about the guys where they would get all possessive and try to hurt any girl that gets close to him? (also from shoujo manga) Again, it's possible. But not so often.

It could be Yes and No. Actually there are so many groups and fractions for some subject, one of those would be for one of the popular guys in the school or out side of the girls school. It seems those comics are a bit exaggerated but somewhat also not too far from the fact among those teenagers in Japan. They are very amongst of adolescent in Japan where is so peaceful and rich so far. Ant at the same time, there is still creepy Ijime torment to weak loser in same classroom of the schools in Japan.
