For interesting facts, stats, insightful info on life as a ‘gaijin‘ in Japan, wit, humour, jokes, strong opinions you have come to the wrong place but if you are an internet geek or just killing time in a dull mundane job then why not check back here every few days to read the latest goings on in my life abroad.
