I also would like to know what J-mothers are doing (or not doing) that makes childrearing so tiring and unbearable here. I have heard countless stories from gaijin-fathers about how their wives have it so easy but yet they don't do anything around the house and do nothing but complain…

oh come on, everyone commits stealth farting now and then. Japanese people don't have a monopoly on the silent but deadly type.

While I agree with most of the posts here, the ol' 'stop starring at me b/c I'm a gaijin' doesn't phase me anymore. I'd probably stare at me too if I was Japanese and I even find myself looking longer than usual whenever I spot a fellow gaijin b/c there…

Why do Japanese women allow men to grope them for even more than 18 seconds?!?!? I can't imagine having the mentality of just suffer and endure.

for the longest time I wondered why they would always have a close up of food held in chopsticks by someone with a bad case of the nervous shakes. Now I realize that person was probably trained for god knows how long to get the effect just right.

I'm not sure why people often say "Japanese women are renowned for their beautiful skin" when Japaense women tend to go crazy over white women's skin and do their best to have "white" skin. Oh well. Anyway, it all boils down to one's genes (any nationality) and how you take…

This is a very strange story indeed. Something smells fishy...I've asked this before and no one answered, is Chiba and Kanagawa and other outer Tokyo areas THAT much better than Saitama? Everyone is always down on Saitama. Why?

This is one of those hot button topics that never ceases to amuse me how people get so worked up over the national anthem here. Personally, I think it would be nice if the anthem was completely scraped and they (again, the vague 'they' out there) composed a new piece…

It would be nice if "they" could stop tossing the ball of blame around and start creating measures to fix this economic crisis. In the end, does it really matter?
