have more robust inventory tracking systems to report exactly what products have actually been purchased. Back then, scams like these apparently worked. Unfortunately, I bought into the failsafes the scam promised and tried it myself. I failed miserably...

Tokyo Makes Me Hate Peoplehttps://japanatron.com/blog/japan/general/10081-tokyo-makes-me-hate-people
to come to your place to hang out. Buy a bunch of video games, movies, porn, and stuff (online of course) to lure them in. Like flies to honey they will come. Ask them to bring the food and drinks, and you've successfully installed the "fun" locally and...

most common is the K.K. because of the status and image it projects. K.K. is structurally tantamount to large corporations like Sony or Nintendo, so there is no glaring indication of how small your operation might be. All Japanese know what a K.K. is,...

no one wants to vouch for us hooligans :-(. If you're lucky, your company will sign as your guarantor. If you're unlucky (like me), they will not. Below I present a few foreigner-friendly, no-guarantor-required housing options that have proved quite...

is 「寒いですね!」 You freak out when you see people wearing shoes in the house. You know the names of all 48 members of AKB48. You like natto. You're so good with chopsticks you can catch flies. You've corrected a Japanese person's kanji stroke order on...

How to Look at Internet Pornhttps://japanatron.com/blog/other/it/10142-how-to-look-at-internet-porn
Better yet, use Linux. Can a Linux PC get infected? Sure. Can you get an STD from a nun? Sure. But it's probably not as likely as getting an STD from a heroin-addicted streetwalker. Oh, and Linux is a hell of a lot cheaper than a Mac. Here are my 2...

the only one. The retarded elevator goes to every floor. I get to the 2nd floor and find Snow Leopard, and I'm holding it like a moron trying to figure out how to pay. No registers. No checkout. Just a big brushed-aluminum party with a bunch of assholes...

implementing a minimalist Zen lifestyle. Thank you, Japan. You can be a pain in the ass sometimes, but I still love you. I'd like to share some things I've learned along the way that have both allowed for space maximization, as well as life...

seem to favor a Unix socket (which I've read is a better approach), so I modified the PHP processing section to look like the below. Aside from the TRY_FILES line, this mirrors Nginx's default site configuration example. location ~ \.php$ { try_files...

not be able to say “I am taking a trip to the mall” in Japanese early on in your practice, but “I am going shopping” will likely be easier for you to learn. Both phrases essentially express the same thing and will help you get the same message conveyed...

face-to-face human interaction (aka social pressure, aka a kick in the rear-end). My fear with the online thing was like that of a gym membership. Would I sign up and never go? That would be a damn shame... A long-time free member of JapanesePod101.com,...
