or why they keep sand on the tennis courts and people have to religiously sweep the sand for 10 minutes of their expensive 1 hour court reservation.
in the case of food it seems like people are more aware of how certain things should look than how they should be.
had some decent looking but incredibly bland vietnamese food at a little place in my neighborhood trying to get the neo vietnamese thing thats booming a little and delicious with all the right ingredients. it was weird how it could look right, but have none of the major flavors other than chicken and rice noodles and salt.
for me whats just been hard lately, is this bizarro world version of familiar things. and back home when eating or drinking somewhere we observe, take note and sometimes complain about things among ourselves about the execution. here, when i make an observation after we eat somewhere, i just blank looks from people. its like everyone here gives everything else the benefit of the doubt of being as well done, unless its a stranger coming up to you asking directions, in that case, they are weird.
i dont know about you guys, but im going through a period where i am extremely ready to get out of this weird ass country.

Yeah... sure... them superior japanese tastebuds...
As for the head...
Standard scam bullshit no ?
Doutor, ask for orange juice without ice and you get a glass less than half full.
I even once went to a bar where if you order a coke, the girl bring a small glass bottle, already open, pour 2/3 in a glass, and go back with the rest of the bottle never to be seen again...
WTF...
Only Mc Donald seems to top whatever glass you order, no ice, topped anyway... But in this case, be carefull of them spillz...

I came back with Indian curry... and they thought that it was sweet. ya my ass... Indian curry will have you on the pot for the rest of the evening wishing you had a Toto toilet seat to wash/cool you down....
Since we all know that some head is necessary.....
;)"Yeah, I've been always awkward toward women and have spent pathetic life so far but I could graduate from being a cherry boy by using geisha's pussy at last! Yeah!! And off course I have an account in Fuckedgaijin.com. Yeah!!!"
tone wrote:thanks for not ripping me for being windy before
been having a rough month or so seeing why I am here, other than being a good huz and being beside my wife while she deals with some bad luck health wise for her dad.
isnt it a double whammy though that its not common practice to make fun of or nit pick things, unless its about whats weird about gaijin, so that when we bring something up, its blank-stare thirty.
back home, the news, some douchey pop idols, the quality of domestic beer, all up for making fun of because everyone in my circle all know its middle of the road shite for middle of the road idiots. here, not quite like that.
i gotta find some new friends, because with my fully JN workplace and my weekend baseball team, i am spending lke 80% of my week with ignorant JN's who have never left the country and know sweet FA about anything interesting, except the sex industry and the occasional nugget of life experience. its the curse of speaking just enough japanese to be surrounded by poor saps who are ignorant enough to tolerate weak foamy beer in 10 ounce glasses and a host of other bullshit. japanese palettes? my ass. people tolerate some ridiculous sweetened and starchy garbage at these 3000 all you can eat izakayas, and only from by buddy who grew up in englad have i heard anything about the quality.
very true about the reverse back in north america, but at least i feel like less of a freak for having an opinion about anything.
OT: why the fuck is there sand all over the fucking tennis courts?! do people love cleaning up and sweeping that much? and why when we get on the field for baseball even after weve all thrown, when i ask to get a few balls at short, no one wants to mess up the previously immaculately swept field before the ceremonial kick off by the 2 teams and captains. so everyone just fucking mindlessly throws for 15 more minutes.
i'm sick of this feeling that i know better, and really craving some decent mexican food

I never, under any circumstances hang out with nor drink with nonpaying Japs. Their energy and stupidity can drain you. You should know better. Make every opportunity to speak Japanese.

no fool, i speak good but not perfect japanese, so my workplace and baseball team is 100% japanese, not trying to be cool or saying that its cool - at this point it's actually annoying. literally, i barely use any english with these people because they cant understand a damn thing when i try.
this is why a lot of my daily interactions are with japanese blokes who havent been exposed to as many offshore ideas as the english speaking folks in japan, and especially as the expats here. i think if i kept it to english, i would have 10% less zombie bullshit to deal with and maybe 10% less head.
has anyone on here acually said something to a server or barkeep about the ludicrous head size ratio to tiny glass sizes?
the you tube video is classic on a number of levels, def sent that one around yesterday via ichat
what someone said earlier about doutour... wow, believable though

when I was on the opposite side of the counter, Japanese got 2 or 3 fingers and the FGs got 1. Never got any complaints, despite the Japanese guy who I thought was Japanese but was 'merican....
