Whoever gets that distinguishment would bear a lonely title, indeed.

You know, I suppose you're right. After all, they would have posted something, and to win, nobody would have replied.

Wow, you're going to Japan? That's awesome! Have a great time! When do you leave? Why are you going?

Yes, I am going to Japan! It is indeed awesome! I will have a great time! (Or try to. You never know what can come up.) I leave in about a week, as of the posting of this message. I am going to study at a "Japanese Language and Culture School" called Genki, where I will learn Japanese and also learn about the Japanese culture. This will most likely have the added side effect of me being unable to stand subtitles due to minor translation inconsistencies and/or errors and/or "I would translate it like this instead of that..." I am quite looking forward to it, though, and seeing how often I watch anime I don't think my Japanese will get rusty after the trip. (As opposed to my Swedish, which I should really use more often...)

That's really cool, NinjaKitten. Enjoy it! I know you will. =)

So what city are you going? Tokyo? Osaka?

Fukuoka, actually. I don't know much about it though.

I've heard a lot of Japanese towns/prefectures name-dropped in different ways (also including anime and video games (The World Ends With You is entirely in Shibuya)) but I'm not sure if I've heard of Fukuoka.

Yeah, I don't think it's mentioned very often in anime and such. It is a real place though, so I'm not being sent to a brainwashing facility or an interdimensional research lab or anything.

Eh! If you were sent to a brainwashing facility, none of us would know about it, including you. Maybe it's more likely than you think...

Wow, thanks for putting me in unease mere days before I leave! I really appreciate it!

Hah, just kidding. I was already nervous...

No reason to be nervous!  After all, brainwashing facilities aren't going to leave you with memories of a bad trip.  They need you to come back...for calibrations or whatever!  I'm sure you'll have fun no matter what happens.

(If I don't see you again before you go, have a great trip!)

Yes, that does seem likely. Also, thank you for the well wishes. I have like two days before I leave, so you'll probably get to chat with me a few more times.

Yeah, before you leave I want to say Have a safe trip too desu!

Welp, I'm leaving early tomorrow morning, so I suppose this is goodbye. Goodbye, forum peoples!

Goodbye! Don't forget about us!

... Now that she's gone, lets make conspiracy theories about her trip. Like, what if when she gets to Japan, she starts seeing shades?!

What if her plane ends up landing not in Japan, but in a town PRETENDING to be in Japan?

A town pretending to be japan? So like its ran by weeaboos? That would be some experience.

What if her plane was a Japanese Autobot?!

I meant more like a massive conspiracy theory.

Ah xD I just want to make up ridiculous stuff. Like what if she gets to Japan, and it's the real Japan, but while she's there, she discovers a government secert that the land Japan is on is actually a huge mecha!

And then she gets wrapped up in a giant plot to make the mecha rise again, and it accidentally takes off into space? NinjaKitten, ensign on the Supesumaru, as it explores the cosmos!

I hope the mecha has advanced technology and advanced wifi! How else would she keep up with paranatural and other webcomics, as well as check up on the forum? Space travel sounds like it would take a long time.
