My main website is &#lt;a href="http://www.mopedronin.com"&#gt;The Moped Ronin&#lt;/a&#gt; where you will find tons of writing on my experiences here in Japan. I've been living here for 8 years now. It's been quite a time.
I'm always up for new friends and acquaintances, so feel free to leave me a message or friend me.
DISCLAIMER: Most of the news articles I post about Japan are not by me, but they carry commentary BY me. Those not by myself are properly documented. If I have missed anything, let me know, and I will immediately rectify the situation or pull the article if I feel I cannot properly cite it.
The articles I post are posted not because of the sensation they could generate, but because they allow me to share an insight into Japanese culture that non-Japanese might not be privy to. You can learn a ton about a country and its culture if you read the news, but only if you know what you are looking for, and I am trying to point out those cultural avenues.
Also note, before you read my articles, I want to make two things abundantly clear:
1) I do NOT hate Japan. Quite the opposite, I love it. If I didn't, I wouldn't bother to live in the nation for nearly a decade, nor would I bother to document the news I do.
2) I do NOT think that my home country of America is better than Japan. America has its own unique news, and perhaps when I return to the US, I will start a page with a similar theme for Japanese people. But for now, I live in Japan, and I want to share with an English speaking audience to promote better relations.
Call it tough love.
On Gather, I'm Looking For ...:
new friends and acquaintances from around the world.
