What an odd question - as if every American has/had the same reason(s) for coming here.
I suggest you rephrase your question (should that be possible) and try again. Give it a go...I doubt you'll have any success with it as it is...except to get comments such as this...however, Person has - on very rare occasions - been known to be wrong so...let's see

It's even simpler than that...they come here so they can practice their famous line...

Pretty cold Kura. I personally came here to se my brother and to try my hand at teaching english. But I would assume most people come here for Tokyo, sightseeing, and the bars in Roppongi.

Just joking...you know I like to stir people on this website and it seems to be working lately. Alot of people seem to be cranky with me today. Maybe I'll start being serious for a while.

You realise that's actually a photo of her, not just an avatar? The scalpel can do wonders.

Kuro my real image is quite the opposite of my avatar, please refer to the other thread (Gaijin Women ...Tsk Tsk Tsk), if you want to feed your crush with some substance. Although I'd love to have melons like Momo (my avatar's nickname)
:p

Your nickname is Momo mune musume??? I am in heaven
BTW, your picture on the other thread is lovely. Nice hair. Everything else, too, of course. My avatar, unfortunately, is a really good likeness of me. But at least I get points in the Cuuuuteeee department
:p

We've come to find the WMD...no, to liberate the Japanese from tyranny...(or is it because of Japan's vast natural resources?) Something like that...And as usual the Commonwealth is right here with us.
Such an obtuse question deserves no real answer, but I will humor you, Henry, and ask that in return you kindly disclose where you happen to have been born and your own reasons for coming to Japan. Fair enough?
Now why did I come here again? Was it to reap monetary benefit from unwitting Japanese English learners? Or to drink myself silly on the weekends with other foreignors? To scatter my seed in exotic flesh then go back home and tell my envious buddies what it's like? No..uhm... Oh I remember, it's because I wanted to enjoy Japan with *my Japanese wife and daughter*.
Is that OK with you?
Geez...
A@@hole.

3 words, `heated toilet seats` - as befits their `statistically on average` larger posteriers

While the heated toilet seats are nice, they don't befit us as well as the double-wide models available back home.

They don't really have double wide model toilet seats do they?
And I thought the people here were crazy enough. Turns out all I had to do was drive through Surrey and take a left, and I could have been in the zaniest country in the world.
Kind of makes all this Japanese as Exotic stuff look tame, doesn't it?

Double-wide toilets are real enough. They're actually becoming standard in rental complexes and public facilities. This is to protect landlords and the city from (1) paying enormous sums of money to wretched suers when the obsolete old-human-size toilets crumble under their obesity, leaving them in a putrid puddle of porcelain shards, and (2) footing the bill when the fire department has to be called to remove a victim with one bun suctioned into the bowl. Couple of high-profile cases already caused double-wides to creep into county building codes. One of the reasons I fled the country was that my wrists were aching from constantly holding my less-than-supersize self up when my haunches didn't reach the sides of the rim.

Thanks for that man. As a neighbour, I like you guys, but that kinda **** should be a wakeup call, not something to accept through technological adaptation.
Anyhoo........................enough about poo-ers

I'm American. I'm here to escape the current reg- err, administration.
No way am I working at Dunkin Donuts back home when I can make good money over here.

Nice. Enjoy it. I could do with a good donut right now, mind you ;)

The answer is obvious dear Henry. I have no clue why any woman would want to come here. But wherever a man goes, he follows his _____. That goes for all nationalities, just that Americans have more to follow.
