How do you mean?

Well , If you are looking to become good friends with a Japanese person then the simple rule is : Act foreign! they will expect it of you. Don't try and befriend someone by saying " oh lets go and have a tea ceremony! " they will get bored of you very quickly. Japanese people like foreigners because we are oh so different.

As for the attracting of a Japanese lady. This subject is hard. You must first know the lady ofcourse. You won't have much sucecess in just approaching her at a bar and aking if she would like a drink. Hmmm or you could go to japan's excuse for a pickup zone called THE BEACH ! That's right .. Japan uses beaches as a place to advertise their avalibility.

Good luck with that!

What a funny English translation ;). Although maybe something like "the vaingloriousness on heaven and on earth" is more accurate.

The original meaning of 天上天下唯我独尊, has nothing to do with vanity....

I translated into English as close, to using it's original context, as possible. It's meaning is to describe a person who transcended both heavenly and earthly planes, into a state of "holy~ness" or enlightenment , it's a buddhist meaning.

nono, I doubt you have to be David Beckham or whoever. I think there's a very similar thread in japan-guide's forums. You just have to weed out the really awful arguments (there are a lot of awful arguments) and make your own judgement. There are also some articles on MyNippon.com, although many articles are written by Japanese-pop-culture-influenced young caucasians, and thus not 100% reliable.

Just treat them like any human woman, and do you best for them individually.

Oh, OK--that's really interesting. I think you should definately get rid of the comma though, to avoid the interpretation that you are the only holy one throughout heaven and earth.
