You know...I've ALWAYS wondered that. My Japanese professor is native Japanese and English is her second language and I can tell that she thinks in Japanese cause it might take her a few seconds to get her thoughts together so she can say whatever it is she's saying to english. She talks to herself in Japanese too.
I think they think in their first language.
