***Attention: 1st time or new visitors!***

Welcome to Loco in Yokohama.

For first time visitor, I know Loco in Yokohama can be a bit daunting. There’s just so much material here. Where to start? Well, I’ve made it a little easier. Below is a list of the most popular posts as chosen by readers, either by comment number or hit count, over the course of the past 2 years.

So, sit back and enjoy, and don’t be afraid to drop a comment or even send me an email if you have questions or anything you would like to ask me.

READER’S CHOICES:

1-Top 10 Ebonapanese words and phrases- Basically a joke post on how to get all potty-mouthed in Anglicized Japanese

2--Mi kasa su kasa- A post about the stealing and borrowing of umbrellas in Japan and my experience one rainy day with a venerable old soldier of an umbrella.

4-Lighten up, Loco- A post I wrote at a time when I felt my writing was getting too heavy and I needed to de-Loco for a while…or suffer grave consequences!

5-おーい、日本人のみなさん、See how beautiful I am…And be ashamed!: A follow-up to the Lighten up, Loco article.

6- The J-Factor- A piece I wrote about a Japanese girl who turned out to be just as giving as I was, to my chagrin. (-:

7-Learn that Japanese!: This was #3 on my 10 ways not to go Loco in Yokohama series.

8-Make Japanese Friends: This was #5 in that same  series. A post on how and why to make friends in Japan.

9-Cock-blocking Chikan- A post I wrote about my efforts to prevent Japanese pervs on the train from performing their trade on Japanese High school girls.

10-And, oh yeah, one other reason I just Love japan, the girls: A post in a series I wrote in response to reader queries as to why I stay in Japan if it’s “so bad.”

Well, I think this is enough to get you started and allow to get a feel for where Loco is coming from and where he’s going. I hope you dig my work. If you do please don’t hesitate to tell everyone you know, via whatever method floats your boat.

I’d be much obliged.

Sincerely,

    Very good for me, I just started reading your blog. The story of the chikan is very funny. It has happened to me a lot here too. Is always fun to cockblock the perverts

    I just want to say, I just found this site today via a twitter post by zonjineko. I have to say with all of your articles and content you are an inspiration to me. I have always had this “interest” in Japan but felt that for some reason I would be seriously alienated… I think due to this insecurity of mine it has held me back from pursuing my goal in learning the language and moving out there. I visited Saitama for about 4-5 months back in 2001 but was living with a, well now ex, girlfriend and loved it, but was rather “sheltered” she wasn’t born in japan and was mixed and for some reason wasn’t very willing to go out much. So that didn’t really help, but this site and a few other’s have given me more “hope” i guess you could say. Thank you (=^-^)b

    Hi Loco,

    I’ve just had a quick browse through your blog and enjoyed your posts very much. I’m currently training to be a secondary school science teacher in England, which is a very intensive and demanding course, so I won’t be able to read it as often as I’d like, but will make sure I come back to it as often as I.

    All the very best.
