Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Japan seems amazing, The people really keep the streets clean and are most people there are extremely kind. I have a friend who's wife is from there and he's going there next week, I envy him! Are you from Japan?
my brother has lived in Japan for 40 years, my mom lived there for 10 years, and my daughter lived there for one year. I’ve been several times, but not for many years. I would Like to plan another trip soon.
It’s a beautiful place to visit, and it sure helps having family members to speak Japanese and know where everything is. Basically get treated like royalty. 👸
it’s one of the nicest, cleanest, societies on earth.
