Wow. I guess fashion is cyclical. During my 3 years on Osaka between '03 and '06, most j-chicks wouldn't be caught dead in shoes that exposed their toes (except for getas in the summer).

Smart move for Disney. They're just wrapping up the final season of Lost on Oahu and now they can just sart shooting the next Pirates film without having to run power or set up trailers and equipment.

That brings back sweet memories. There were a lot of cute j-girls at SMC. Though I never saw any of them in my classes. I guess calculus isn't very trendy (;_;)

This picture is a perfect illustration of the redundancy that exists in Japan today. I can't stand it I'm doing perfectly fine at a kiosk only to be hijacked by one of these uniformed chicks who may look pretty and speak polite but were trained to ignore common sense and instead rely on memorized scripts so answer any question a customer may have. "blah-blah-blah sashite itadakitai to omoimasu." They look like a deer in headlights if you call on them to answer any simple question that didn't come up during company indoctrination.
At least the ticket machine in this pic is separate from the ticket counter line. Last time I left Kansai International Airport on United the boarding pass machines were only accessible at one of the final turns of the regular ticket check-in line. There was a chick standing there to push the buttons for me there too.

She's actually a very hot chick, but you couldn't tell by looking at this awful picture. IMO, she looks better without fur. She could lose the jacket too :-)

These models are smokin' hot, but in Japan you'll see chicks that look like this at your local McDonald's, on the train or at the cosmetics counter at any department store.
Damn I love Japan!

Every single last one of these chicks are SMOKING HOT!!! I can't even imagine being a judge for this competition and having to send any of these girls home.

Wow. That was a lot of police and police cars. It seems like all's well that ends well.

This story made me sick when I saw it on CNN last night (while sitting next to my Japanese girlfriend). It makes no sense for Japan to resist signing on to a mutual treaty that would discourage this type of action.
This story would have received ZERO attention if the father hadn't visited Japan and tried to take his kids by force. I hope this story has legs and really tarnishes this country's international image if changes aren't made.
Japan's initial reaction to this case could make or break their bid for the Summer Olympics.

I hope nobody accuses her of indoctrination. It happened when President Obama spoke to school children a couple of weeks ago.

No way dude! I left Osaka in the morning and arrived on Tokyo around mid-day, so all my Japanese friends were still at work. I had several hours to kill and figured Akihabara was one place where gaijin could wander around aimlessly in the middle of the day without looking out of place.
After 2 hours of looking at electronics and porn I wanted to see something else. I have zero interest in games and manga so I decided to do the only other thing you can do in Akihabara...go to a maid cafe. After my traumatic experience I had to medicate my eyes by walking through Shibuya 109. Now that was nice....and free!

Those girls in the caption above look nothing like my waitress during my trip to Akihabara.
I decided to spend a few days in Tokyo during golden week this year and wandered into a Maid Cafe by a decent-looking chick J-girl handing out flyers on the street in Akihabara. After being seated by an even better-looking chick at the front entrance I sat down and started sending a text on my phone.
I looked up and was honestly startled by this ugly looking hag who introduced herself as my maid. First of all...she was a western chick. More specifically she was one of those nasty looking "I love anime and cosplay" chicks. They must keep one of these in the broom closet somewhere and dust her off when a gaijin walks in. She wore these ugly glasses and had a crock nose.
She asked me if I wanted to speak English or Japanese. I soon discovered that her Japanese skills were really crappy, but probably still better than most gaijin who wander into a place like that. It was really painful to look at her. After pouring my ￥600 iced coffee she said something like" もっと美味しくなる為にあたしの魔法をかけましょうか？"(Shall I use my magic to make this even more delicious?) She had me put my hands in a heart shape along with her and say 美味しくなれ、(become delicious) 3 times then "moe, moe" at the end. Probably my most embarrassing moment in Japan.
I understand that they're trying to cater to westerners by having an English speaker on hand, but that broad really killed it for me. I downed my coffee and got outta there asap. Very disappointing after a 3 hour shinkansen ride from Osaka.
Sorry for the long post. Just wanted to warn everyone about the gaijin switcheroo.

That's why I never put my baggage in that overhead holder on the train. Makes me way too nervous about forgetting my stuff on my way off.
