  it's funny that people would go to this restaurant to be trendy instead of focusing what's really important - health. people seem to do things for the wrong reason. the article mentions women dieting and trying to get thin in an unnatural way which hurts them mentally, emotionally, and physically...…

  My ex-girl friend was a deeply involved Soka Gakkai member. I got to know more about the "religion" and I really liked what some of the beliefs. It's more like a life philosophy than religion I feel. Before I met my ex I felt pretty negatively towards religion but my…

  I taught English to people in the Japanese Self-Defense Forces. I had a fun time there. They saluted me before the class began. Although they seems kinda quiet like many japanese people in the beginning, as I began talking to them one on one and got to know them I…
