Watashi wa nihon ni sunde imashita...san ka nen
I spent three years there
Jakkan.
I’m always impressed by someone who can speak Japanese. Outside of a few phrases (Ohio gozaimasu, domo arrigato, gomen nasai, etc.) they couldn’t understand me. :(
I was there a few months, mostly in Tokyo, around Shinjuku and town called Tobu Nerima. Shinjuku train station at rush hour is quite an experience.
Were you stationed over there?
