Fruits isn't indicative of how Japanese normally dress, although most girls will have one piece like in the exhibition in their wardrobe - made by themselves in high school (Fruits is pretty cool - you can see them in UNSW bookshop :) ). So firstly, do you want to dress the way the fruits girls do? Or how the average Japanese girl dresses to go out?
a bit of both :)

are there like Japanese versions of Dolly and Cosmo that I can buy from Kinokinuya?

I guess so. It's just that I've never come across a person who can distinguish between Korean and Japanese girls.. my Japanese + Korean friends and I often get it wrong.. it's pretty easy to tell a Chinese from a K or J though..

Why do you have that book?

Well, how good are you at basic dress making? Most Fruits pieces are home-made..

I don't really go to Kinokinuya much so I don't know (they sell the sort of thing that I can get normally from Japan, but mark it up with ridiculous prices). If I wanted to read the Japanese versions of Dolly or Cosmo, I'd go to C3, which is a Japanese place 10 minutes walk from UNSW, which has a HUGE library of Japanese magazines, books etc.. they definitely have those mags you're referring to.

Where do you use that abbreviation for? Like, when do you need it? Seems strange!

I studied it in high school a bit (which is normal), but I did a lot more outside of high school time, trying to familiarise myself with western expressions etc.

hehe.. you know, most Korean and Japanese girls I know actually brought their school uniform with them when they came here!

My point exactly!

I'm really loving Ramen Genki at the moment, which is next to Atarmon station. Not the classiest location, but it really puts the other Japanese restaurants found in the city to shame.
If you like sushi trains, try the one at Bondi Beach, next to the Swiss Grande, they'll do custom dishes if you ask :)

The degree will take 4 years now, because the catch was that I could only study both med & psych for one year, make my decision, and then go from there. I chose the B.Psych, and so the degree will take 4 years (but overall, longer, because I have plans for either UNSW Masters or USyd DCP).

The psych and the med will be accredited back in Japan, just not directly. I've discussed this a fair bit with Osaka and Tokyo, and of course I can't just fly back there and start practicing (in either of the fields). They are a lot more lenient seeing as though I am a Japanese resident and grew up there, but I'll still have to take a course which will range from either 6 months - 1 year, based on their assessment of my skills. But whether I will go back to Japan to live is another story..

It's on Anzac Pde! The buses that stop out front the uni usually also keep going past C3.

Yep you can get Nonno there, and lots more..

Ok, well I wasn't aware that there was any genuine japanese clothing stores in Sydney (I think maybe there's one in Market City?). Create your own Japanese-inspired style - after all, Japanese fashion is essentially the fusion of western and asian fashion, and then hyped up a little.. look up some current J fashion and emulate! Since I don't get clothes sent over from relatives in Japan very often, so that's what I do :)
