    For some weeks I was vaguely under the impression that there was some kind of ongoing scandal involving the Japanese baseball team and a "ヌードバー",

    The Anything Goes Thread

    Bwahaha, to my great relief I have finally located a substantial stash of money in a far and distant country (could probably buy a nice import car with it and still have enough left over to party kind of stash) which I had assumed was lost mainly due to massive personal incompetence during a Bad...

    What got you into Japan; anime, yakuza and porn?

    Back when I was young, I won a place on a 2-week all-expenses paid study tour forYoung Yooropeans run by the Japanese Foreign Ministry and I think it did something strange to my mind and I ended up living here and can't be bothered to move away. Never had any interest in animanga/weeaboo stuff...

    Post-Pandemic Gift to Yourself??

    I thought you have to be a chubby French dude living in Ebisu to handle Bitcoin? Meanwhile I just got a (genuine but unexpected) email from some lawyers along the lines "Dear Bergmann, we've finalized the final bookkeeping shit'n'stuff on that minority shareholder buyout last year, and need to...

    Post-Pandemic Gift to Yourself??

    Travel, definitely travel. Even if only domestically. I've had an excellent pandemic, the overseas company which I was working for from home since way before it was a thing sold itself to a competitor, and as I happened to be a (very) minority shareholder a small but pleasing wodge of the...

    Any Current or Former Non Maskers?

    (delurks) Yeah, came down with some mystery illness around March which knocked me out for a few weeks (it kind of fitted the profile but at the time nowhere enough to come close to a test), and even pre-Covid my work keeps me at home in front of the computer way too much (no, not webcam), and...

    The Anything Goes Thread

    Last time they were dishing out emergency "please buy stuff" money in 2008 or 2009, it was sent to all regardless of Yamanto-ness. It was only 10,000 or 12,000 yen though. TBH I wouldn't say no, as it's always useful to get money to pay for future tax rises to pay for the money they are giving...

    The Anything Goes Thread

    Thanks to the magic of the interwebs, in this the Year of Our Lord and Postponed Olympics 2020, you can spy on the good citizenry of Old Edo going about their business e.g. here at the world-famous Shibuya Scramble Crossing, which looks pretty damn empty for a Saturday night, even if it's raining.
