Love of Japanese culture and society aside, there's nothing for me in this country, and I was never one for patriotism. Plus I have personal reasons related to family, which I'd rather not talk about for obvious reasons.

And I'm certainly not planning to go there because I want to sleep with Japanese women (and I find it insulting that anyone would accuse me of being that shallow). I have a genuine and unshakeable interest in Japan as a whole, and unless I manage to finish writing that dream novel of mine, then there's nothing else I'd rather do than help build bridges between cultures, regardless of whether I can influence everyone I teach.

Call me a wide-eyed idealist if you will, but I've got a dream and a desire to help people.

shallow for wanting to fuck some j-girls? i would say that is normal... but since you are bullshitting us... you should try to be butt buddies with McBlowJob... he talks about writing books, influencing japan, etc.

so go fuck your self in the mean time. way too early for concentrate on this shit.. not to mention being hung over..

What is with all the the red snotting of new members? Personally, I don't red snot very often and when I do I tend to reserve it for something that is really obnoxous. But given we are dealing with new posters you people might want to cut them a bit of slack until they say something truely trollworthy. Just a thought.

[Sa_Race]

Ohioa ! Or is it Aloha? I never now cause I'm here since last April and my best japanese is "ChiCHI Chichi Oppai ! Moge moge !". So far this country is shit, It feels like in Aidfrica, but with money. Also I want to dick-stab-in-the-face all the girls walking like polyo ridden ducks.

Anyway nice to meet you.

Judging by the nick name, gentlemen, what we got here is locally called a "Ouech-Ouech" due to his limited speech abilities centered around the repetition of this non dictionnary-approved word.

Called "jeune de banlieue" by the media and the locale police force he is the French equivalent of the english plague called "Chav" but differ sufficiently in his taste for sport outfit brand to be hunted down without any possible mistake by the authorities.
Clothing of choice: Addidas and Nike
Car: Mostly beater Peugeot with tuning parts from the local hardware store.
Music: anything sounding bad enough to make your ears bleed with a pseudo social message behind. (mostly aboot his love for drugs, hate for work/police/society but need for state provided allowance).
Can be violent and dangerous but only if he's at a 10 to 1 superiority ratio. Below that can prove to be extremly fast on his feets.

Now, all this backyard psychology being based only on a nickname, I can be so fooking wrong that it's not even funny. Because if you were to trust my nickname I should be a dead protestant hung by the balls centuries ago instead of a still breathing godless neo-com(unist) with a bad case of pr0n addiction.

Haha too funny shit. "You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Coligny again."

You must be speaking about the twin brother I was separated from at birth. Because I had the good parents.
They loved me so much they sent me to that private ultra expensive catholic boarding school, where I was NOT molested by pedo-priests. So in retaliation, when I was back home like 10 days a year, I played FPS a lot in my 1000m² empty bedroom and shouted "sa race !" everytime I died.

Now I'm a godless neo-communist who wants to kill the smallest president in the world. No prOn addiction though...

No addiction? Damn, there goes your chances in the next addition!

[Sa_Race]

But I love anime, and the japanese culture. You know geishas, giants robots, they are so civilised. I always related so much to Japan. Really, since I was very young... -oh wait fuck.


Well I have (had?) addictions, but not the pr0n one oddly. Kebabs anyone?

[Coligny]

I almost forgot it was the introduction thread : 31, I followed SWMBO here, and now I bitch all day. Halp.

[Coligny]

For those as confuseded as mee:

SWMBO (aka swimbo):

Acronym for She Who Must Be Obeyed. Term of endearment for one's wife/girlfriend (or resignation to the nature of your relationship).

The term originates from the H. Rider Haggard novel, "She" (first published 1886). The character Ayesha, known as She-who-must-be-obeyed, the Queen of Death, the White Goddess,of the lost city of Kôr who rules her kingdom with terror, She is the very image of the Femme Fatale. To disobey her or to scorn her is to earn & receive instantaneous death.

Typing on a japanse keyboard, searching for the asterisk, the @ key and the '. This tokyo winter is a hell of a lot better than what I'm used to in the frozen grey wasteland known as Toronto

Hello fellow FGs, Im kicking it righteously in Koto city. Trying to follow up some leads on Japanese animation studios because I need work and love pain.

Let me know if any of you roundeyes need some cartooning done.

[nikoneko]

I actually like JP keyboards better. If your's is like mine the @ should have it's own key next to P. ' is shift-7. * two over from L.

And about the weather.. yeah... you are gonna get a rude awakening come June...

Yeah... the smaller than usefull spacebar, useless keys, clusterfuck of label printed on the keys and randomisation beyond comprehension of the special characters and punctuation keys make them a real pleasure...

I got used to them while programming a lot and the layout for that was much better than a US style keyboard. I still like them too for having things like the @ key where it is. Don't know about European layouts though so your mileage may vary. Oh and I actually type Japanese on a regular basis so obviously it wins at that.

Hi, I've been lurking here a while and living in Osaka for about 6 months. Just posted the music video up that I worked on with another Australian and it was pointed out that I haven't introduced myself.

So far I'm managing to survive in Japan without teaching english. I work professionally in post production and video editing and am getting by on a combination of some remote work over the internet and short term contracts in Tokyo / Shanghai. It helps that my partner (not japanese) is here on a long term contract in the JET program, so she has a steady income and that got me a 3 year dependent visa.

We both love it here, planning to stick around at least 3-4 years. so Howdy all!

Ooooh, I feel your pain.
As a "favor" to a friend, I teach junior high school science classes in English on Saturday to returnees and they always embarrassing me on kanji knowledge even though 18 years ago I have passed Kanji Kentei level 8.

Wtg on passing, even if it was a while ago. That must be some fun times on Saturdays. Are the returnees as noisy as the regular jr. hs girls? My daughter thinks that the urusai girls in the shopping center seem to be in that age group.

@GomiGirl - sorry for the delay in posting again. Holidays, travel, relatives, preparing a tiny space to accommodate the new arrival, etc... Would love to get some tips on Japanese hospitals and such.
