    Got stopped by a police

    Her voice sounded like she was Christmas cake. Maybe at one time that lady was attractive, but for whatever reason she couldn't land her a gaijin husband to get her out of Yamaguchi. As such she is a bitter, almost middle-aged shrew.

    Got stopped by a police

    Alas he was not alone. His sempai was with him, mentoring his young charge on how best to get a gaijin. I tried the no habla japanesa, but they produced a cell phone connected to a lady at the main station that could speak English.

    Got stopped by a police

    Last week I was pulled over and ticketed (18,000 yens!) by the po-po for texting while I drive. While I was stopped at a red light I had just happened to look at my cell phone to see who had messaged me . I was not engaged in a chat with anyone. Going off of what has been mentioned previously in...

    Shintaro Ishihara dies at 89

    In this case I have to bring up a quote that is misattributed to Mark Twain, but was actually said by Clarence Darrow (but not the same wording): "I've never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure."

    I’ll never get used to seeing tv news coverage of “U-turn rush”. They report on it like it is news the traffic is backed up so far. “OMG! The Tomei Expressway inbound is backed up 50km from the Yokohama Machida IC.” yeah....it was like that last year, and the year before that....

    Really? We must have been fortunate because our vet readily agreed to do so. He even expressed surprise that we would do so considering our situation. That whole clinic was just incredibly supportive of us.

    I will never get used to pet owners here that will make their beloved family animal suffer a long and painful end of life instead of giving them a death with dignity. One of the families in my neighborhood has a shiba whose hind legs do not work. I will see them outside every so often let the...
