Who am I and why do you care?
To start, I'm a 25-year-old Kansan teaching English for a private language company (an eikaiwa, if you use the local language--or don't but are up your own ass) in Tokyo. I came here two-and-a-half years ago to gain that oh-so-valuable "work experience" necessary to mitigate a lackluster university GPA so I could some day triumphantly return to the US (much like Eisenhower) and get a teaching degree (unlike Eisenhower). If I only knew then what I was getting myself into.
Things are different living in a foreign country, and for those of us living in a foreign country for the first time, you don't really know what culture shock looks like until one day you find yourself at a store that sells holiday cards, party favors, Santa hats, and erotic costumes with an entirely straight face. And such is life in the 'Pan. The common and the exotic, the mundane and the sublime, glimpses of Western life painted in Eastern brushstrokes.
Also there is a lot of cartoon porn.
