Japan is, for me, the first place that I have been that I haven't had to deal with discrimination or racism. I like that very much- It's the first place that I've truly felt like an individual, and it's where I learned the most about who I am.
Regardless of how comfortable my shoes are (and they are indeed comfortable), I prefer to not wear shoes- I don't wear shoes at home, and that's how I like it the best. Shoes tend to be a little suffocating, I feel. Sock are fine though. Socks are a...

When I usually fly on AA, JAL handles the international portion. :3 I've never flown domestically in the US other than hour long flights, so maybe on flight from coast to coast there is food? For some reason, I think flights in USA are just airport h...
Thanks for making these guides, Danny. I cannot rearry get good tips from my friends on where to go because we are all 大学生 and they typically go to 居酒屋.
Back in Michigan, United States, I used to pay 200USD each time I got new glasses with new frames. I usually get neutral looking frames (if I get new frames, and I got a new frame for living in Japan) and my lenses are packed with options! Anti-glare...
I liked yesterday's episode on WonFes! I've never been to one, since this is my first time living in Japan, but it's very interesting to see things and know that I now have the ability to check them out in person. Especially at the beginning, where t...
I believe that I came to this site after stumbling on a video or a blog post about the Stormtrooper dances. I didn't keep up with the site, or register at the time, since I was not too interested in Japan at the time- Later on, when I became more int...
I'm probably going to see if anything comes next year. Contract is done next year, so I will have to start paying for my phone (Uncle pays for it right now, got it as a graduation present). I'm interested in the phone itself, rather than using it as...
From what I can tell, there are no Apple Retail Stores in Indonesia, therefore any resellers need to import the good themselves, which adds on to the cost. Also, Apple seem to enter an approximate value, so they near or higher than the USA price (suc...
I can understand why someone foreign might not want their child attending a Japanese school, since there is a high probability that they would look different. I attended an American school all my life, and wasn't even a foreigner (of course, I was bo...
Our house actually owns equipment for haircutting- Only applicable to shorter cuts, though. This is the first time I am growing out my hair, so I may be need to make use of costlier facilities in the future. Not sure- Main reason for hair is so I can...
I've spent an entire month off the webs once- Was in a rural village that my grandparents lived in Asia. :3 I couldn't do that anymore. After getting an iPhone 3Gs with Data Plan, I can say that I AM NEVER OFFLINE. I periodically wake up at night and...
Looking at this makes me realize just how little money I have. I'd like to add one to my collection, but I'll be lacking in funds after I grab a new MacBook Pro to replace my broken one.
The Japanese Department at my school is pretty big, since we have a lot of international students and exchange students- It is also a popular major. It has an arm in "Japan Club", one of the student organizations I serve in as an honorary officer (ak...
