Just another gaijin's life in japan: action, drama, engrish, tragedy, comedy, love, aikido, battojutsu. Friday, May 26, 2006. Our destination was Takatori Yama (Hawk Mountain). It turned out that I only saw pigeons up there. Proud of my Japanese, I told the guy next to me that maybe it needed a new name, Pigeon Mountain. He wasn't impressed. As usual, we stopped at a few points along the route to check out the water. If there's any fence jumping and bridge diving to do, Takahashi-san is our man! There wa...

What better way is there to display some strange advertising other than having a quiz? What will you win? Maybe I could send the first winning answer to the first picture, the item that it's advertising? That might be a little ambitious of me but let's give it a shot. And your guess is? Exist in all religions! Posted by Jory-san @ 1:45 PM.

Just another gaijin's life in japan: action, drama, engrish, tragedy, comedy, love, aikido, battojutsu. Saturday, December 23, 2006. For those of you that haven't seen Sempai Sean Connery and Kohai Wesley Snipes in Rising Sun, sempai is the word for people in your dojo/group/company, that are your superiors. This relationship between sempai and their kohai is very important in Japanese circles. And his duel on Ganryu Island. That Noriko made for me from an old kimono obi. Posted by Jory-san @ 3:09 PM.

I came home to find J-Pop watching a dvd from a friend. It was footage of a concert put on by The Warter Front Band. These guys are American and were playing at a honky tonk in Tokyo, called Little Texas. I have a one word review of their performance: TERRIBLE! The leader and drummer. He has his guitar back. I made an appoint...

Over the last few weeks I have attended functions thrown by some of my students. I know the pros and cons of mixing business with pleasure but in this land of "Yes" I couldn't say "No.". This picture is Kosuke's son, Ryunosuke. He's quite a cute kid. I've finally been to their house enough, that he doesn't run in fear. Here's Noriko ...

I'm finally back to finishing up Troy's PERFECT vacation in Japan. At least, this account is my side of the story. It's been a few days since my last Kyoto entry and I'm trying to catch myself up. I've done and seen a lot, since then. The first night was spent on a bus, then two nights at the Gojo House (lovely place). I didn't tell Troy that I had se...

After breakfast and mapwork, J-Pop and Ma decided to take me sightseeing. Our first stop was Perry Park. Commodore Perry landed near this spot. It has a small museum and a huge memorial stone. Thanks Commodore for opening Japan up with your black ships! A view across Tokyo Bay to Chiba. View from the lighthouse. Fisherman on an outcropping...

I found a bar code on my spouse visa so I scanned it. It sent me info to a link for the phone's browser to visit a pay dating site. I'm not sure what to make of that! Posted by Jory-san @ 11:41 PM. Misc Photos Part 5. Jory with removable solar shields. View out of the 2nd community room (at the ski resort). Another view up the mountain. He dra...
