It's going to take you about a month to acclimate. That's how long it took me. Once I figured out the customs and mannerisms, I had a BLAST!

my friend, i really wish i could help you to know a bit more but i can't. i have never been there and i dont know Japanese anyway. i have quite a few japanese friends here in Australia but they think that life is much better here. anywayzz, i wish u gud luck and make sure you study well. i'm sure you will adapt to the place easily because you are pretty young and full of energy!

Here is a web site that will help you out on being an exchange student in general. It's not Japan specific, but deals with the experience as a whole. http://www.exchangestudentworld.com/ The best advice I can give you, now hosting my 13th student and having repped many more, is to learn the language and be respectful to your host family.
