Here’s a story about a person who was really obsessed with Japan so much that he practically wanted to become just like a Japanese person in every way possible.
This is how this story goes.
There once was a person who was living in a very beautiful tropical place where the weather was as beautiful as it could ever get on any given day of the year.
This place of where I’m talking about is a place that many only wish they could live, due to the fact that there were so many amazingly great and awesome things all around that of which one can only dream of.
While growing up as a child, this person that I’m talking about got himself involved in a few school sports events, including weight training and track and field, along with spending a lot of time with his friends who were in the football team at his school.
On his last year of high school, he joined a Bible Christian group where he studied all about the Bible everyday after school, which caused him to become very interested in Religion and Christianity.
After graduating from high school, he joined a local Christian Church where he attended every Sunday, along with studying about the Bible, which got him to become more and more interested in Religion and Christianity, due to the point that he wanted to learn all that he could learn about of what was being taught to him in his Church.
He did this for a few years, until he made a decision to join a home Bible study group where he studied even more about the Bible, of which he attended 5 times a week during the evening hours.
While studying about the Bible, he asked a whole lot of questions about religion and about Christianity, of which not many people could clearly answer. So rather then giving up on his goal to learn all that he could about the Bible, he went to a local Christian book store and bough a lot of books on Christianity, Religions and Spiritual topics of which taught him a lot of things that the people who he was studying with could not teach him.
He learned a lot about the many other religions thats in this world, along with how to live like a peaceful, loving and spiritual person, which caused him to become a very kind, honest, and sincere person with a goal to become as good as like a real living Angel while here on earth.
He did this for around 15 years, until he met a person where he was living who came from Japan for a short 3 month vacation, which drew his attention away from studying about the Bible and onto learning about Japan.
Upon spending a lot of time with his new friend, he started to drink and smoke just like him on a daily basis while talking all about Japan, just like a person who was born and raised in Japan.
They talked about the many cultural things that’s all over Japan, along with talking about Tokyo and Yokohama, which caused him to want to travel to Japan for a vacation.
After his friend returned to Japan, he went to a local book store where he lived to buy a lot of books on Japan and about how to speak in Japanese, along with a few video’s on Japan and the Japanese culture.
As he started to read about Japan from the books that he bought, he became more and more interested in Japan, to the point where he basically wanted to become Japanese, which caused him to become kinda obsessed with Japan, way much more than a lot of the people who he knew in his personal life.
He watched a lot of Japanese TV drama’s and listened to a lot of Japanese music, along with spending a lot of his free time with a lot of Japanese college students who came to his city for studying English and other types of subjects.
While doing this, he made a lot of Japanese friends who came from Tokyo and Yokohama who talked with him all about Japan, which made him to become even more obsessed with Japan.
Then just after 3 years of studying Japanese, his friend returned to Hawaii for another short 3 month vacation, which made him to become even more interested in Japan more than ever.
He then started to dress like a Japanese person who was from Japan, along with carrying a man’s secondhand bag, just like a Japanese person who was from Japan.
And that wasn’t all, he went even further to the point where he changed his whole bedroom to look like a real Japanese bedroom, which caused his family to think that he was kinda crazy.
And while talking with his friend who was from Japan, he was invited by him to stay at his house in Tokyo, which he absolutely agreed to without any thought of saying no at all.
Upon arriving in Tokyo a few months later to visit his friend, he was greeted by his family of which was very glad to have him as a guest, which made him to become very comfortable with everything around him.
They took him to many places all around Tokyo and Yokohama, which made him to feel like he was in a type of wonderland of which made him to feel like he was in a dream.
After returning back home from his vacation to Japan, he made it his goal to travel back to Japan every year until he made up his mind to make plans to live in Japan.
While he was in Japan, he visited many different places of which he found to be both very interesting and educational at the same time. As for where he traveled to, here are some of the places where he went to.
Nagoya, Kyoto, Toyohashi, Gifu, Gunma, Ibaraki, Nikko, Mount Fuji, Yokohama, Atami, all over Tokyo, Saitama, Ibaraki, Fukushima, Saitama, Nagano, Yamagata, and Niigata.
Each time he returned back home where he came from, he would indulge himself more and more into the Japanese Culture, which made him to want to learn all that he could about Japan.
He was so obsessed with Japan, that he made it a point to watch a lot of Japanese documentaries which explained all about Japan, the Japanese culture and the Samurai Era.
He learned about a thing called Honne and Tatemae, and about the Japanese way of thinking and about the Japanese way of doing things that of which many foreigners haven’t learned about, which made him to become very knowledgeable about the Japanese culture and the Japanese way of life.
Then just after 10 years of studying all about Japan, he finally made a decision to move to Japan where he is living until this very day. And since then, he as taken up the Japanese way of life, along with discontinuing himself from smoking and drinking, like how he use to do a very long time ago.
End of Story.
