I can either be a foreign exchange student in Germany or Japan. Which one should I pick? I can speak German and Japanese both fluently, but which country is better in terms of economic status, education, safety, crime, etc.? Which one would you rather stay and attend school in?

I would choose Japan. I took japanese in high school and am a huge fan of almost everything Japanese! Japan's crime rate is not as high and people are so laid back and very respectful. I was there 2 years ago and ache to go back. There is so much to do and see. Good luck and have fun!

Here's something to consider: the food. I know a girl who was an exchange student in Japan, but didn't like seafood. Where she was, they had fish constantly. She lived off of Rice Krispies for a while. Of course, you might be in a different part of Japan if you go there. I think both countries might be similar in the other things you mention, but I'm not sure. Crime is more about staying out of bad areas, especially in cities, no matter where you are. Japan might be ahead in education, but again I'm not positive. Don't bring up World War II in either country.
