differently since I'm American? I am planning to study in Okayama University once I graduate from High School. Which isn't that far off. I'm a year advanced and I will be starting University at a young age. Will I be treated differently? I'm nervous, but at the same time excited. I understand Japanese when I hear it, but I can't really speak some of the words clearly yet. Also I don't know how to write Japanese that well either. I'm planning to receive classes on Japanese etiquette and culture as well. I have heard that Japanese people seem to get frustrated or nervous with foreign people. Is it true? Also I basically look different since I have red hair. I just hope I will escape the whole "ginger" charade once I reach Japan.
