I have a story for you, and it's quite disgusting really. But this is me you're talking to, so that's what you get. Anyways, I'll get to the point. I went on an all-day road trip to visit the ninja villages in Japan. It was 4 of us: me, Susumu,...

Small Wonderhttps://japanatron.com/blog/other/general/1002-small-wonder
In my opinion, "Small Wonder" was one of the greatest TV shows ever. As you may know, "Small Wonder" was a sitcom about a seemingly normal American family. However, the family was far from normal. In fact, the daughter Vicki was a robot. I have to say...

Extra For a Dayhttps://japanatron.com/blog/japan/show-biz/1005-extras

Kettle of Legendshttps://japanatron.com/blog/japan/general/1006-kettle-of-legends
I said a fond farewell to my old kettle today. In other words, I threw it in the trash. It was purchased 2.5 years ago at Donki Houte (ドンキホーテ) in Nakano-ku. I used it solely to make tea, so the inside was horrendously caked with 2.5 years of tea. In...

Rude Japanhttps://japanatron.com/blog/japan/general/10010-rude-japan
Most all tourists that visit Japan say the same thing: "Wow! Everyone here is so polite!" Well, that's true if you're a tourist--especially one with a phatty wallet. Having lived here for over 5 years, I have come to realize that although Japanese...

My roommate is a brilliant genius scientist. Most of the time he's pretty cool, but sometimes he's literally a pain in my ass. This is episode 1 of a potentially continuing series.

Before moving to Japan from the US, I had been a vegetarian for 8 years (age 18-26). I originally became one because I thought it healthier to cut meat out altogether as a source of calories. Hopefully, not eating meat would reduce my caloric intake and...

The Shrine Drummerhttps://japanatron.com/blog/japan/countryside/10015-the-shrine-drummer
Before moving to Tokyo, I taught English in a countryside prefecture known as Tottori. I loved it there. My only complaint was my noisy neighbor that liked to play taiko drums early in the morning (usually between 5:30am – 6:00am). He would open all...

I used to make fun of my mommy because of the way she sleeps. She expertly wraps herself in countless blankets much like ancient Egyptian embalmers going to town on the latest deceased pharaoh. The only sign there is a living being under all the...

A lot of people criticize their parents for everything they did wrong when raising them. When I look at couples with kids, I think, "Damn. That doesn't look easy." Dirty diapers, public temper tantrums, teen pregnancies, and memories of how much of a...

After a very hectic week of training at the AEON West headquarters in Okayama, I arrived in Tottori, Japan. Training week was crazy busy, but kinda funny. Our dorm was like Gilligan's Island--no TV, Internet, or any connection to the outside world. We...

THE TOWN -- TOTTORI I dig this town. Way different from LA. People are really nice, but they still stare at me (I guess I kinda stand out). I stare at other foreigners too thinkin', "What the hell are YOU doing here?! This is MY town!" The bar scene is...

Tottori City Library There's a new city library that's really close to my house, so I've been going there lately to study Japanese. It's nice and well-equipped, but there always seems to be a mother in there with a noisy, bratty kid that won't shut up....
