A typical Japanese salaryman’s meals for the day…

January 24, 2008 at 5:56 am · Filed under Japan

Hello everyone, sorry for not posting for a while. As simply put but totally accurate, a Japanese salaryman’s breakfast, lunch and dinner:

1. Asa gohan wo omizu to tobacco
2. Gohan wo obento to tobacco
3. Ban gohan wo biru to mame

Haha, effing hilarious… Mame aka edamame and beer for dinner… I have a student named Yoshio who is a manager at one of my business classes, told me this and I busted a gut. Yoshio’s English isnt great but he broke that out. Nice. Mission accomplished!

Some other news. My friend Allison sent me a Christmas card and I got it today… Hahhahaha

For the new friends I met in Hong Kong

Rolling deep! British throw back… Dizzee Rascal – Fix Up, Look Sharp

There is some truths that I found out by going to Hong Kong.

1. Tokyo is NOT an international city, people visit thats it, not like NYC and Hong Kong
2. Theres nothing wrong with me, its just Japan. I am too outgoing for the Japanese.
3. Japan makes you weak and I have to get out of Japan before I am screwed.

Hong Kong made me realize that there are so many cool places that I havent been yet. I think people stay in Japan for the rest of their lives for two reasons: 1. They marry Japanese 2. They are weird. Japan is a place were the outcasts of other nations fit in perfectly, foreign weirdos like Japan because they feel special, they didnt get attention back at home and if they went home, theyd realize that they arent shit. Japan has a funny way of doing this to people but I realize that Japan cant handle me. I am too confrontational and outgoing. Now a place like Hong Kong… Thats my kind of town. A bit dirty, a bit crowded but you’ll never lose your edge. Japan made me soft and Hong Kong brought me back, I will not forget what I learned from my winter vacation. I will finish what I have to do in Japan then I will leave, I cant stay before I am transformed into something I dont want to be.
