Japan Newbie
If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!I`m a relative newbie in Japan. I count my time here in months (15) rather than in years like a child who says he is 7 3/4 rather than just seven in order to prove how mature [...]

Baseball, Life in Japan
Hanshin Tigers 2005 Victory
The very mighty Hanshin Tigers Baseball Team have just won the 2005 Japanese League in their 70th anniversary year by beating their hated rivals the Tokyo Giants. Here`s a picture of the yet mightier team member Akahoshi.

Blogging, Misc
Cult of Blog
Partly inspired by this post at www.thisiswhatwedonow.com.

Life in Japan
Women in Japan and the purse
Japanese women are the mistresses of the purse in Japan, controlling the family budget with a ferocity only equalled by their love for their kin.

Japan, Life in Japan
The panda rears its ugly head
Some of Reiko`s friends and family make her very sad because they constantly talk and ask questions about me leaving her feeling unloved and inferior. Many of her friends who didn`t talk to her before she left for England, now call or email her repeatedly and ask how Simon is or would Simon like [...]
