NOW I know why we don't have uniforms here in America . . . 1/2 the time you'd want to poke your eyes out in horror, and the other half of the time would cause a problem of 'BEWARE perverts lurking' equal to or even surpassing Japan . . .
Here in the USA I use Comcast for Cable TV/ Telephone / Internet, and pay 120$/month for these 3 services. It's kind of a lot of money, but I can call anywhere in the USA for the same price as local. Plus we have something like 900 channels. And our...
Oh my gosh the furisode are so beautiful . . .
I think that the guy(s?) wearing the hakama is/are not the most handsome but I consider them 'cool'er because of observing the traditions. I guess Japanese who have seen it frequently would be more imp...
I would not mind bathing with other people in the sense of being offended by their nakedness -- if it is something I don't want to see I will just not look. Actually I would just not look even if I did want to see, because it's rude. However I never...
That is the most stylish fashion accessory ever.
Honestly though I can't believe your wife allows those kind of sheets! Not that I would have a problem with my husband looking at it, but rather, I would not want to wake up, roll over, and see a nake...
Since the "gaijin welcome" part is only in Japanese, I think it might be there to subtly inform/warn Japanese people that they may be sharing space with foreigners?
I can be SOMEWHAT understanding of the treatment towards foreigners because it is s...
I would definitely not want to go to Pachinko for a first date! Also, going to a love hotel on the first date is pretty sleezy I think . . . But Karaoke or Arcade are places I WOULD like to go for a date!
Is it really sad that he's the president of my own country, and I didn't hear about these shoes being hurled at him until I read/watched it on Japanese News?
I would NOT buy strawberries for 1$ a berry . . . ridiculous! Just grow some on the balcony or in a windowbox during the summer, and made due without in winter. Strawberries are between 3$ and 5$ depending on the season for a plastic carton of about...
You should be allowed to get in free if you are used as a prop! I bet the manager has snaps of the idols+stormtrooper and it will appear in the next photobook. Are you kidding me? I would totally buy it if there were cute girls in bikinis with guns a...
I am not Christian but I celebrate Christmas. I think when I live by myself, however, I will no longer celebrate it. For me, it is special only because of snow, pretty lights, and warm memories with family.
They need at least cow-boy-hats, and also leather fringed vests. But they do capture the basic idea of the cow boy/girl concept. Japan bastardizes alot of foreign concepts so this is impressive lol
Haha no one can afford things like night-time skydiving tour.
If it's just a hypothetical vacation package I would suggest something like visit to an onsen or some other taste of Japanese Traditional Culture.
You had to present in German??? I couldn't do it! I have presented in class at university but that's not very formal. I was nervous and my voice shook but I was well prepared and kept talking. I don't think that my voice ever stopped shaking. On the...
I'm not sure of our electricity bill, since I live with my parents. We heat our house with oil, and from November2007-March2008 it cost us 7000$ USD just to purchase oil for heat!!! When I lived with my boyfriend, we used electric heaters, which use...
Thank you very much for this review of nintendo's new product! I'm so amused by some of the features the Japanese feel the need to include in electronics, compared to what American designers would build into comprable products. We definitely would no...
Men who can cook are very manly. It is a desirable quality for sure. After being married, I wouldn't expect the man to cook very often though, unless he wants to I guess.
I don't think it's right. I think gay marriage should be allowed but marrying things which are not alive doesn't seem right. Next, will people wish to marry their pets?
Nope! It's even cuter here. There is a day care center / pre-school on the campus of the college I go to, and when I eat lunch outside I see the teachers and kids walking across campus from the classroom to the playground. There are teachers at the f...
I've lived my entire life (only 20 years) in the same place, so I can't become homesick for a place I haven't left. I lived in another town breifly, but in the same area.
WOW I can't believe you paid 1000 yen for such a measly plate of spaghetti. I'm not saying that its not enough for a serving, since that looks about right (but I'd think an adult male might eat more than that) BUT just that for ~10$USD that's a reall...
Are you serious? In my country, people go on shooting sprees or set bombs when they loose it. I don't think I'd call the police because someone shoulder-slammed me . . .
I would give up my seat for the injured, pregnant or elderly. However if I see someone broken down on the highway usually I will not stop, assuming someone else will or the person will call AAA.
I do the peace sign . . . but it looks cuter when Japanese girls do it.
Is there a difference is you do it with the palm facing the camera or the back of your hand facing the camera?
Chinese food here in the states has alot more of rich thick sauces than I think would be found in china. Lots of fried food. When I was younger I asked for butter for my rice at the chinese restaurant (thats how we ate it at home) and they laughed at...

Here neighbors are kind of far away. We are friendly and welcomed THEM with food/gifts (not the other way around) when they move in but not much contact otherwise.
At around this time we have something similar in my town but its not to celebrate the end of summer, but the begining of fall / harvest. My town used to be mainly agricultural when I was younger and now its practically a suburb, but we still have the...
I will probably give my child a cell phone as soon as they are old enough to be away from me, so that they will be able to reach me. BUT I would choose one of the specialized phones that has just a few buttons with pre-programed numbers (mommy, daddy...
I did not know that Danny was related to Jimmy Choo.
Also, since it's my first time hearing Danny speak English, I wanted to remark that his accent is really unique ! Hearing British-Accented English spoken with a Japanese accent is very different...
In the US, there seems to be a preconception of postal workers being mentally unstable. Do other American members know what I mean? I have heard many stories about postal workers going crazy and committing violent acts or suicide, because of stress f...
NOT AT ALL ! That's ridiculous. If I saw a business with accessible outlets, I would assume they are there for public use! I charge at places like cafe's all the time !
