As my blog hit count approaches 100000 I want to take a moment out to thank all of my readers for continuing to support me. You guys and gals have been great! I’ve been a Japan blogger since November last year and during that time I feel like I have learned a great deal about [...]
Immigration:”Is this you?” Me: “Of course that’s me!” That little white box in front of me is a box for rating her. I gave her a satisfied. She was just doing her job…I suppose. Looks like Shinjuku… Starfish and Lizards and Scorpions…oh my Lebron James and I in the Beijing Subway Ok…I’m not going that [...]
I remember when I was a kid I used to go with my homies to Manhattan and “Pop” in public for donations. I couldn’t pop well so my duty was to carry the boom box and protect it with my life (-: But my friends were maniacs…I mean, they were really good. Mind you this was in the [...]
I fell head over heels in love with Japanese food. It’s one of the reasons I’m still here. Whenever I seriously contemplate returning home I start weighing the pros and cons and the con that gives me heart palpitations is the thought of not having access to authentic Japanese cuisine.

Last night I had the strangest dream. At my job, one of my co-workers was an android…I guess “android” is really an outdated word. Showing my age I guess. Cyborg sounds too sinister, though. Robot sounds too metallic. The point is it was not human. The strange part was everyone knew it wasn’t human but [...]
Walking around China one thing seems to stand out as much as any other: There are walls everywhere… Walls around houses, walls around schools, walls around cities, and what do you know: A great big long ass wall across the country. Robert frost once said in a poem: Good fences make good neighbors and I suspect [...]
The 2nd floor of Doutor cafe is the smoking section. There are a few available seats, but most are stuck between or opposite people I notice. Most eyes spot me instantly, then check their vicinity for free seats. The people with empty seats beside them start to shift and fidget. I have four to choose from. [...]
