Part 11 comes after Part 10

Part 10 is over! Part 11 is here. If you haven't checked the challenge entry, the challenge has been extended until Part 11 maxes. Hopefully that is enough time for people who are busy with finals and such to find time to enter, if they'd like to!

Should I mention that the number 11 scares me? I really don't like that number. Like how Natalie Portman hated the number 5 (or 6?) in Where the Heart Is. But a higher number. Well, anyway.

Da Rules:
*No image bombing.

Da Notes:
*If you're feeling down, make sure to get help, and refer to links on previous parts if you need them.
*If you don't know how to post images while anon, refer to this comment. Make sure to follow the directions on that comment as well!

And also:
*Posting on this meme, logged in or not, is opening you up and taking the risk for positive and negative comments. If you can't handle that response to your logged in comments, I'd suggest posting anon and not drawing attention to yourself.
*What you say is what you say, so please make sure you want to say it. Except for special cases (that hopefully will not come up) I won't be deleting or screening comments.
*This is a NSFW space. Warnings are not required.
-Feel free to comment or message me with any questions/concerns.

What sort of advice are you looking for? I was an exchange student in Japan for a year.

I guess I'd start off with it's okay to ask questions. Really, it's better to ask and make sure you're doing the correct thing than try and guess and mess up. You'll feel less humiliated, trust me. They don't expect you to know everything.

I would also say "Don't be afraid to use French, even if you don't know it well," but I've heard the French react differently than the Japanese do to people trying to speak their language. So I'd look to someone who has studied in France to give you advice for that, because I can't be sure.
