<![CDATA[I'm a fun American English Composition instructor. So if you want to do something fun or get something to eat and work on your English, I'm out and about in Tokyo this Friday during the day, before 7. <br> <br> Unfortunately, I don't speak Japanese. Let me know what you'd like to do, and well, honestly if you can meet me somewhere close to where I am, that's the best chance I can find you... But I can try out the subway. <br> <br> Best! <br> <br> ~ :) <br> ]]>


<![CDATA[ <br> I'm Japanese guy who is seeking nice female friends to hang out with. Why don't we go out? I know it's not easy to find friends here, but there's no other way to find one who can enjoy together now. I'm not looking for romantic relationship, just want to have lunch or dinner and have a chat. Actually I'm moving to the United States in 2011 for studying, so want to learn not only languages but also cultures and so on. Just feel free to contact me. Of course I'll send you before we meet, then if you don't want to come, that's completely fine with me. I really look forward to hearing from you.]]>

<![CDATA[I'm a newly separated mother of one looking for a guy friend in Kantoh region. My weekdays are pretty hectic with not much of a social life. I need someone to talk to and have fun with. I would prefer a Caucasian or Hispanic man around my own age (I seem to get along with them better, that's all), who is a native English speaker. <br> I'm college educated, level-headed, caring and a loyal friend. I may appear shy and quiet to many people but only trusted few get to see my true color and I can be a lot of fun. It's really up to you to bring out my "wild side." ;) I expect sincerity from my prospect and a long-lasting friendship should we hit it off. <br> <br> I look forward to hearing from YOU! <br> <br> ]]>


<![CDATA[I'm an American who has lived for Japan long enough for most of my Tokyo friends to have moved back to their home countries. With the end of the Japanese school year, I'll have some time on my hands to enjoy the things I've missed in Tokyo. I'm looking for a fun friend to meet with and share good times. Respondents should be female, but make no mistake about it, STRICTLY PLATONIC--I'm taken. <br> <br> Let's shoot a few emails, maybe trade pics and if its cool we'll meet up for coffee. Cya there ;)]]>


<![CDATA[FOUND: Authentic Japanese Religion: Bahai Faith <br> <br> Yes, the obscure Persian texts from the Victorian era (late 1800s) speak directly to the Japanese people <br> <br> <a href="http://www.geocities.jp/oneworld_international/library.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.geocities.jp/oneworld_international/library.htm</a> <br> <a href="http://bahaisite.com/" rel="nofollow">http://bahaisite.com/</a> <br> <a href="http://www.bahai.us/" rel="nofollow">http://www.bahai.us/</a> <br> <a href="http://www.bahaijp.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.bahaijp.org/</a> <br> <br> <br> <br> Excerpt from The Hidden Words (Persian) <br> <br> In the Name of the Lord of Utterance, the Mighty. <br> 1. O YE PEOPLE THAT HAVE MINDS TO KNOW AND EARS TO HEAR! <br> The first call of the Beloved is this: O mystic nightingale! Abide not but in the rose-garden of the spirit. O messenger of the Solomon of love! Seek thou no shelter except in the Sheba of the well-beloved, and O immortal phoenix! dwell not save on the mount of faithfulness. Therein is thy habitation, if on the wings of thy soul thou soarest to the realm of the infinite and seekest to attain thy goal. <br> 2. O SON OF SPIRIT! <br> The bird seeketh its nest; the nightingale the charm of the rose; whilst those birds, the hearts of men, content with transient dust, have strayed far from their eternal nest, and with eyes turned towards the slough of heedlessness are bereft of the glory of the divine presence. Alas! How strange and pitiful; for a mere cupful, they have turned away from the billowing seas of the Most High, and remained far from the most effulgent horizon. <br> 3. O FRIEND! <br> In the garden of thy heart plant naught but the rose of love, and from the nightingale of affection and desire loosen not thy hold. Treasure the companionship of the righteous and eschew all fellowship with the ungodly. ]]>

<![CDATA[good friends with. Looking for email buddies and people to talk to. Not looking for romance. Just people to email and be good friends with. ]]>


<![CDATA[Hi, <br> <br> I don't know why someone would flag this, but I'll keep reposting it... <br> <br> I am looking for people to hang out with in or around Chiba and Tokyo, March 24th~27th. <br> <br> I have family in Japan that I visit every 3 or 4 years. Whenever I visit, I have a decent time, but I don't really get to meet new people. Also, just so you know, I have a girlfriend, so I'm just looking for friends. <br> <br> Before I go on, let me tell you a little about myself; I'm 29 years old, I'm half Japanese and half American, and I've lived 98% of my life in the U.S. (I went to an international school near Osaka briefly in the second grade). Right now I live in Los Angeles and I work in the television industry and occasionally as a DJ in clubs around town. My Japanese is so-so, but my English is superb ;) <br> <br> I'm not looking for anyone to entertain me for a week or anything like that, but if you could spare an hour or two to meet up for coffee or lunch or drinks or dinner, that would be great. Basically, any excuse to get out for a while and meet new people would be nice. If you like movies and music, we should have plenty to talk about. <br> <br> I realize this is perhaps an odd request, but I'm curious to see if this little experiment works...I can't really offer much beyond decent conversation, and maybe if you ever visit LA, I can return the favor. <br> <br> If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask. Thanks in advance! ]]>

<![CDATA[OK, I confess. I don't like gym workout very much. I way prefer tennis to tedious exercise. But I definitely have to lose some weight that I've got while I was in the US.

<![CDATA[Hi, I'm looking for someone who might be up for hitting some of the old-time country music livehouses in Tokyo with me. "Old time" as in hillbilly, Hank Williams, Bill Monroe, Honky Tonk stuff--NO Taylor Swift, sorry!!!! <br> <br> This does assume a certain amount of ironic sensibility, and may include dressing up a bit--although I don't personally do cowboy hats. It could turn into "a wacky thing I did while I was in Japan" for you, if you got the right attitude... <br> <br> I'm sure to stick out like a sore thumb, since the crowds for these things are generally older, and I'm a gaijin, but I would sincerely LOVE some company. <br> <br> Mata renraku, ne! <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> ]]>
