I would recommend bringing something small and mass produced that is from your home country to give as gifts. For example, I brought Ghiradelli chocolate to give to friends and people I meet. It's just something nice to do. There are some things you can't get: burritos, good cheese, spray-on tans, and good chocolate are a few. More difficult things to get would be stuff like American brands that you particuarly like, sunscreen, and vitamins. Hope this helps you out a bit.

I have applied to probably 40 schools, of which around 4 have responded at all. Two of which were to tell me that they would not be able to find a placement for me because of my Japanese ethnicity! I am banging my head against a wall at this point, because I will land there August 1st, job or no job. I will work my alumni connections to their fullest, per your suggestion. I can't afford to be shy anymore! Anyway, just wanted to let you know that your post made me smile :) Chunzhu,

The most common reason that Chinese people hate Japan is because of the war atrocities committed in WWII. Now what caused those war atrocities? Probably the Japanese mindset. From what I've heard (could be completely wrong), the Japanese had a mindset of all-or-nothing during the wartime. When they invaded China, they killed, raped, and plundered all those who they conquered and saluted those who decided to die fighting. In fact, before the atomic bomb was dropped on Japan, the Japanese civilians were pretty much prepared to fight until even many of the civilians died. It's as you said, a country is basically an idea. What that idea drives people to do however, is what drives other to hate them. It's entire possible to hate a country and an idea.
