It’s more of a blogging site where you can up load photos and keep a diary. It’s worth a look if you are into those kinds of things. I’ve got an account I use it to keep in touch with my Japanese friends.

It really shouldn't come as a shock but I think people have this false notion of how things are over there. If you don't know Japanese Mixi would be a rather interesting experience considering theres little to no English on the site. Short of having a phone email that they accept you can get someone to invite you that is already a member. I used my Softbank email to get mine.

Hehe, right about now, I want to go all Japanese Historical on your ass ;D! about the part that they isolate themselves But I don't think they do it as much, there are plenty of Japanese on this site. :P I don't know about that site, I wish I did, I want myself to learn about Japanese ´(Mostly language, but their history is probably one of the most fascinating stuff in my history book ;D) So I am not much help

I've had the page since 2008 when I was really into learning Japanese, before I lived in Japan but I'm not very active on it anymore. So if an invite can help, let me know... My name on mixi is ハリー no point in giving a link as you can only see it if you're on mixi. I have a moldy ameba page too... haven't updated it since 2008 either but here it is... http://ameblo.jp/harryiv/
