The hell that is Japan

Anime sucks, you all smoke too much, stop putting meat in everything, etc etc etc.

I've lived in Japan for a long time. When I first came here, I liked living here. Now, I don't. I haven't changed. Japan hasn't really changed, either. Something else, however, has.

  • I was reading this thinking "what is it about white guys living in Japan that makes them write like a high school anarchist desperately trying to impress a girl?" Then I realized that the author of this article is one of the lead writers for this "avant-garde" video game review website that I reviewed (http://www.splicetoday.com/digital/video-game-writing-for-people-who-don-t-care-about-video-games). Back when I reviewed his writing for this other video game website he could not get enough of Japan and had to mention that he lived in Tokyo roughly every other sentence. Small world.
