Fortune Telling in JapanI wouldn't have my fortune told; the future is ours to make. I think, that if my future was decided, it would be a sad thing, for I would be unable to make any decisions on my own, as those decisions have already been made.
Tokyo SnowNope, no snow here. An eternal summer, to be poetic, but to put it simply it's tropical here in Singapore.
I've always wanted to be able to make snowmen and play with snow. With any luck, I might encounter some next year or something.
Japanese SouvenirsWhen I went to Japan, I brought some foodstuffs back; it can be shared, and isn't as heavy as things like mugs, though larger than things like keychains.
Otherwise, I would spend the money on myself, unless someone places an order beforehand.
Worst Place to Live in JapanI would choose Tokyo. Japanese is hard to understand as it is, and Kansai-ben is harder, to me, at least.
If I had to choose between Singapore and Japan, though... I'm rather torn between the two, honestly. Going to Japan would be going by myself,...
Japan Online GamingAlas, I have no consoles to connect to the Internet, nor do I really need them; I have an XBox 360, but I'm not really fond of multiplayer games on consoles.
Living with illnessI've had asthma since I was young, but the air around here isn't that bad so I haven't had much trouble with it for a few months now.
I'm hoping that you get better. Get better, Danny.
Media CoverageThat's an interesting article from Giant Robot. Like most readers, alas, I'm not quite proficient in Japanese and can't read the Japanese newspaper scans, but I think they would be interesting if I could. Anyway, thanks for posting these.
MacBook AirAs nice and stylish as it seems, I think I'll stick to my tablet. I can draw on my tablet, after all, and I don't have the money to get one.
Itasha ShowI particularly like the one with the SD Hayate and Rein, or the one with the Nanoha/Lucky Star combination.
I'm surprised, though, at the amount of Nanoha cars. I was hoping for one based on a Key game, but seems that there's none. Meh.
Seijin no HiI look (and act) a lot older than I am, but if I reveal my age to others, they start attributing me to stereotypes attributed to people my age.
Well, I'm usually thought of as 8 or 9 years older than I am, so much until I've long gotten used to it.
Police Hunt OtakuI was thinking about this while walking and remembered that there are a form of otaku known as military otaku. Perhaps it might be unrelated, but some military enthusiasts might take to carrying around some sort of weapon.
Just my thoughts on this.
Whaling in JapanI think that while these people are attempting to go through with what might be a worthy cause, their defacing of the Japanese flag is something that they should have refrained from. While it is true, at least, according to the facts stated, that the...
Best anime of 2007I somewhat agree with the ranking. True, there are other series that may be better, but this is just a ranking of how many people liked a certain series.
ShirakoSomewhat unrelated, but I once ate a baby octopus. The head was actually filled with some yellow liquid. I liked it until I realized what it was.
Since then, I have never looked at them the same way.
A week in Tokyo 5We have those rice burgers over here too, they taste like a proper meal consisting of rice and ingredients. I prefer the Teriyaki burger, though.
