1 – New Year’s Eve Japan 2015
Had a fantastic outing last night with some friends from Australia. Thanks Tina, Reece, and Kai. It was quite possibly the best New Year’s eve I’ve spent in Japan. We visited five shrines and temples and met some wonderful people. What a fantastic way to start off my first year of change. Here’s my first video. […]
2 – Meet my Japanese Wife
My wife and I went on a date. How we ended up going on this date is the story. We did end up having a nice time. The movie was great. The seats were good. The food after was good AND we didn’t have too many communication breakdowns. Overall it was a nice day. Head […]
3 – Being an Adjunct in Japan
Where is it better to be an adjunct? Japan or America? I talk about the differences in money and time spent grading and preparing for classes.

4 – Kobe Earthquake Message
I was not here in Kobe when the earthquake happened on January 17th, 1995 at 5:46AM. But I can feel how cold it must have been when these people were rudely awoken and forced out of their homes, or worse yet, trapped in them. Cold. Cold. Cold. Jan 22, 2016Mike

6 – Hobbies and Kids
Let’s get outside. I’ll do some whittling and talk about having hobbies to cope with life in Japan as well as my thoughts on having children. It’s a vlog. I talk about personal thoughts. Hopefully I don’t offend too many people. My thinking is that if you know where I’m coming from then maybe you’ll […]
7 – Happy Hour Konbini
“Konbini” = Convenience store My favorite convenience store is Family Mart. I also frequent Lawson, As n As, 7-Eleven, and Sankusu. It’s not something I’m proud of, it’s just that going out to have a beer is fun at 5:00 when it means I can get out of the house. I enjoy the walk, the […]
