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...

Stupid But Fun Purchaseshttps://japanatron.com/blog/other/general/10082-stupid-but-fun-purchases
This was going to change our lives forever. She did share my sentiments about the maple syrup smell, but maple syrup's not so bad. At least the fog didn't smell like dog shit or decaying rat corpses. The fog machine made its first public debut at a...

every meal we ate had to be taken home in a doggy bag. Each dinner out resulted in a free lunch the next day. That's not a bad deal for my pocketbook, but can be for my waistline. When I lived in the USA, I used to finish those Cheesecake Factory pasta...

November 2003 - My Name is Debuhttps://japanatron.com/blog/japan/countryside/10020-my-name-is-debu
really small park with a few animals to look at. They had monkeys there, so I was really happy. The monkeys really smelled bad, so I didn't look at them for very long. They also had this rooster that wouldn't shutup. I cock-a-doodled along with him....

Korea for 4 nights. I'm really excited since I studied Tae Kwon Do for 8 years and have always wanted to visit Korea. Too bad the only Korean I know is how to count and some useless terms for kicks and punches. I can order 3 front kicks at a restaurant.

Japan's Smoking Addictionhttps://japanatron.com/blog/japan/general/10083-japans-smoking-addiction
graphic photos of lung cancer victims. There's just a small warning basically stating that you shouldn't smoke too much. It's bad for you. Thanks for driving the point home, Japan. No One's Been Sued Yet Japan is surprisingly smoker-friendly: smoking...
