Well one thing you can add this site is how the hell did you survive the noise of those pachinko palaces for many years? [floatl]

Are those genetically engineered ears that you can close at will?:p

Anyway, welcome to our F'ed G world!

Yes the noise was, and still is, pretty damn loud! Ear plugs help alot and one learns quickly to use them.

Anyway, welcome to our F'ed G world!

Thanks for the welcome!

Hello,
I'm D. American male, married to J-wife for about 7 and a half years and living in the States. Lived in Tokyo for about 3.5 years in the early 90s, studying Japanese woodblock prints and teaching at eikaiwas to support myself. We're moving to Japan in 2007; the wife first in January to find a job and place to live, me to follow around March after I tie up loose ends here.
The long and the short of it is that the wife wants to spend more time with her parents in their old age and work again in Japan before she gets too old (i.e. over age 35). Should be interesting to see who has worse culture shock, me or my wife.
Anyway, I stumbled on FG a few years back. Always interesting to look around, but now that we're moving back to Japan, it has become a bit more relevant. I work as a business researcher/writer (stopped trying to do the art thing a few years back). Right now, the plan is that I will continue to do my current job remotely from Tokyo which also means my officemates will be 6,000 miles away. Should be interesting to say the least.

Looking forward to hearing crack-head stories from you lucky bastards in Japan. I hope you guys are making your home-countries look respectable to Japanese eyes... or at least staying out of trouble...

Nah, I'd loove owning a purple pimping hat. Every day and night I wear some kind of brain lid. Hell, right now I'm wearing my ultra-protective bling-bling nightcap and beer goggles.

I am quite fond of my hat - especially since it has never spent time on Santa knob...

Nice hat, but I prefer the nice one I purchased very cheaply from Life Space.
