I'd like to see how tough the Japanese Dojo life is like. [go to dojos and take their signs lol]

The language and culture is cool and I look enough to pass off as Japanese [though being Filipino with 1/4th Chinese]

Only problem is I'm kinda bulkier and perhaps taller than the average Japanese person, maybe... [5' 7" and 165]

Yay pushups and situps and squats...

I think learning about any culture naturally instills a desire to go check it out in person. I'm all about anime, but I'm not going to move to Japan just to be close to the culture or whatever. I certainly do want to check it out, but no more really than Canada, Russia, Australia, Britain, India. Those are places on my list in addition to Japan, and I want to go to them for various reasons. Anime just happens to be one of the reasons for Japan.

First, I shall conquer Japan. Then I'll move onwards to Korea, unite the two bastards under my flag, go stomping through China a bit afterward, gathering as many supporters as I can to increase my already impressive army. I'll then make a beeline for Mongolia, cutting a bloody swath with the bodies of those that dare oppose. And as I step onto Russian soil, my influence will be so great already that the leaders will immediately give up without protest and turn over all assets to yours truly. Therefore, my continued trek through Belarus, Poland, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg will be met with no resistance due to my overwhelming might. Therefore I shall take up camp in the United Kingdom where one thought only will come to me, "Damn, I didn't get enough anime and manga from Japan..."
