Japan Indiscriminate StabbingsI cant remember the last time i sat down to listen to the news and heard something good or happy. It tends to go something along the lines of: X got stabbed Z got shot, there was a bomb in Y that killed 100 people, this went wrong, that didn't work,...
Mac FanLooks like a great article on yourself, when my Japanese is more advanced i'll certainly come back and read it :D
I used to buy PC mags many years ago but stopped. Since i got my Mac i haven't got a single mag relating to it, but after reading this...
Human MageLineage 2.....awesome MMO,one of my favorite games, im still playing it on and off and have been for about 4 years :P
I love the graphical style of L2. If anyone is interested more in the artistic style of the game you should check out "Hyung Tae Ki...
Dark SaintLooks identical to the Dark Elf found in one of the early L2 promo movies. Even the artwork on the base is what certain spells look like in L2.
Perhaps they just decided to make their own L2 dark elf?
Tokyo 1999 - 2001Old school :D great info as usual, was a very interesting read. I'm really looking forward to the article about working at Amazon/Microsoft you mentioned!
dannychoo.com on CNNI caught this on japanprobe before i flew over here :D Congratulations with getting on CNN, that's quite a milestone to achieve and it was very interesting to watch :)
Ueno Photo WalkGreat article for starters. Ive had my aim set on a particular career for a while now and I've been working towards that goal for many years now. However I've recently been getting interested in other subjects, many of them introduced to me by you th...
Startups in JapanCongratulations on your success so far!
Its really informative and inspirational to learn about how you have progressed. It's giving me a really good insight into a career path and way of thinking that I otherwise wouldn't necessarily have followed...
Living with illnessonce you get the metal spine replacement what next, arms, legs, head...when does the madness stop.
It'll be on the news one day that a monster calling himself "dannybot" is stomping around tokyo destroying monorails and tall buildings EEK!
On a mor...
MacBook AirI've been holding out getting a mac laptop for a while because of the rumor about this and now its arrived im still not sure :P
For roughly the price of a low end MBP I could have one but im not sure I can really justify the cost when I could get a...
Broadband in Japanomg Danny i want your internets.
I have 2318kb/s download and 346kb/s upload >.<
The numbers you get really do put our internet connections into perspective. Yet another reason for me to get my ass over to Japan ^^
There is a problem in the UK wit...
Education in JapanHitting a child in any situation where they are not directly threatening you is in my eyes totaly unjustified.
They could just take the manga off him.
As far as im concerned physical punishment doest work anyway as it more than likly will strengthe...
Bullying in JapanGlad to say ive never been bullied but ive been around people that have and it really shows in their self confidence etc.
The sad fact is i dont think it's ever going to be truely eradicated. It seems that kids these days almost expect it will happe...
Photo CompositionI have to admit im not a fan of these. Although in certain instances i think they can look nice.
The 3rd/4th image down with the girl sat on the outdoor sink to me is quite a nice picture, has a certain artistic quality to it.
The others just do n...
Loans in JapanBeing a student in the UK i have a student loan however i am lucky enough to have parents footing the tuition fee part of the loan at £3000 per year.
Also because i didnt move away to go to university i still live at home and dont have much in the...
Japanese Mobile GamesPersonally I dont really find myself in the situation where i need portable games. my phone is 6+ years old now and it does me fine. Aslong as it phones people im happy :P
Ive never really had much of an interest in portable gaming.
Id rather spend...
Gundam and Figuresthere are only a few places in the UK that seem to stock them and they cost 3-4 times the price they would in Japan and the 2-3x the U.S price.
There again everything costs more in the UK >< so im used to it now.
The few Gundam i do have came from...
Japanese DolphinsI can understand the reasoning behind wanting to save a more "intelligent" animal. However it does seem to me slightly hypocritical to try and defend one animal and not others, they are all living creatures after all. I hope they didnt go down to the...
Gaijinive never understood the whole idea of lets get drunk and smash stuff up because it's cool. It seems to becoming the norm for kids these days in the UK.
Nothing wrong with some fun or sensible drinking, but when it gets to the point that you are ma...
Gundam Defends Japanpersonally i think its a bit of a no go. They may look cool but they would just be impractical in real war. not to mention that each one would cost billions if not trillions of $
That doesnt stop me wanting one though, and if they did ever do it the...
Segway Japanstormtrooper on segway would be hilarious! funky bit of kit but arnt they incedably expensive, like £13k or something daft or am I dreaming that up :P
Either way i think id rather spend the money on a Mac or some nice shoes :D
Japanese BrowsersI've had your site as my homepage for ages now, nothing better than waking up and reading your latest articles to tide me through the day :D
Japanese Banksits strange to think that in Japan pin numbers are getting phased out as old technology, pretty much just as we are starting to use chip and pin for everything.
The only down side is that id rather have someone rob me for my pin number than cut off...
Japan RoadworksJapan has all the best stuff :( even the road cones are awesome. they would all get stolen in the UK :P
Road works near me always take place during rush hour, after all its the most sensible thing to do right...
I think if UK builders had to work o...
Anime Fansubdubbed stuff just sounds terrible imho, same with films, i just cant stand them because they always tend to dub them with really silly english/american voices that sound like they belong on cartoon characters :P
