Working at Amazon and MicrosoftThis is, in my opinion, one the the best you've done. Really enjoyed seeing the company through your eyes. Interesting how much has remained the same. Customer Connect - for FCs and CS. Bar raisers. RSA security fobs, Etc.
I am also former Micr...
Japan and Golf.
So... in Sinapore they discourage urination in the elevators and failing to flush toilets.
And in Japan, they discourage public swinging of umbrellas like golf clubs.
I still think I prefer Japan (^.^)

Singapore FinesA key reason to prefer Japan - elsewhere in Asia it's necessary to legislate behavior such as where NOT to urinate, to ensure they flush a toilet, etc. Without this the city would be a pigsty. A "modern" city? Hardly. More advanced than other Asi...
The 44th President of the United States of America.
To be so young and so lost. Sad.
If you think only one person made it happen... again sadly misinformed.
To be a student you have to be willing to learn.
To be an artist be willing to care.
You begin this new ear with anger. Really unfortu...
Japanese Scams.
If you answered yes - that you've never been a victim of a scam - keep in mind that a successful scam is not detected. So it's difficult to answer whether you have - only whether you know.

Counterfeit Goods in JapanI know a girl who has "friends" in the Yakuza. She sees counterfeiting as part of a "value stream" where the counterfeiters play a "necessary" part. I was a bit shocked to listen to her justify the practice. But, according to the survey here, the...

Love Letters.
This normally seems like such a nice group but, wow, this post has become a real "pity party". So many never got a love letter. THIS is the stereotypical Otaku. Otaku like to think they're unique - but tend to all be the same.
For those who ne...
What's Your Ideal Age...The late, great, actor Cary Grant once said - as a character in the movie "Operation Petticoat" - "When she's under 18 she's protected by law. Over 55 she's protected by nature. Anywhere in between (he winks) she's fair game." Now play nice!
Japanese Culture.
What's REALLY unique is that when you date Japanese girls they'll offer to pay half - meals, movies, DisneySea, etc. That threw me at first but now I think it's their way of keeping control. If they pay their half, they don't "owe" anyone anythin...
Japanese Law EnforcementTo me, Japan is a land where appearance is not always reality. Sure, Japan seems safe - as long as you stay "between the lines". The cops are like information guides in booths. Danny had another article about girls in Akiba beating up cops. If yo...
Declining Marriage Rate in Japan"Can't win if you don't play."
"If you don't ask, you don't get."
"Never let fear of failure prevent you from trying."
Sorry for the cliches but they're true. Share what you have to offer. Your partner will see it. Those that don't see it can s...
Declining Marriage Rate in JapanJapan's Statistics Bureau states there are MORE women in Japan than men (age 15 or more). The percentage of those declining to marry "young" is increasing. We can't infer marriage has lost its allure - they are just choosing to take that option lat...
Declining Marriage Rate in JapanInteresting topic and story. Ah... the things we do when young! (^.-) From what I've seen, the trend is basically universal amongst "first-world" nations. Specifically in Tokyo I've found that below 28 girls prefer to focus on a fun time together...
Japanese PoliceI have to agree. It's a thankless job. As I read Danny's article I have to wonder if there is a reaction that won't draw the wrath of at least someone. Let the girls hit you and you're a wimp. Cuff them and you're a Nazi. And I can't begin to t...
