Life of a Foreign Hachikin. Friday, March 16, 2012. Day 16 – How you realised you’d acclimated to Japan. I actually had one of my Elementary school students ask me this once- -considering most of them ask "WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE FRUIT/ANIMAL/POKEMON/FOOD? In Japanese a million and a half times, I was considerably surprised to be asked a thoughtful question by an 11 year old. Yes, ladies and gentlemen. I am a phone-bower. : I can't seem to break the habit either! Have a lovely Friday :). A Chicago girl livi...

Life of a Foreign Hachikin: Japan 30-Day meme
http://hachikin-hakujin.blogspot.com/p/indis-view-of-japan.html
Life of a Foreign Hachikin. Please, be captivated by the pretty red bridge! This page is inspired by my writing done for the 30 Day Japan Meme. And all of the posts that came from the prompts in this challenge. Basically, a more concise way of getting at all the posts in one place. The wonder that is Aki City, Kochi Prefecture. You should know but probably never will. I think I'm turning Japanese. I really think so. And how Japan made me love onions. How I can neither speak English nor Japanese. Follow m...

Life of a Foreign Hachikin. Wednesday, March 14, 2012. You know it's that time of year when. Well, I mean any time of year that calls for copious amounts of drinking! I think I have thus far determined those times to be:. 1 End of the year/beginning of the year party season (bonenkai/shinnenkai). 2 March (the end of the fiscal year, when people are transferring jobs, school is ending, etc).

Life of a Foreign Hachikin: January 2012
http://hachikin-hakujin.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Life of a Foreign Hachikin. Tuesday, January 31, 2012. Day 13 – Something about Japan that reminds you of home? When I was in grade school, they did an "experimental spelling" program with my class. To this day I can't spell worth shit. Also, I apparently thought clouds = leaves when I was in first grade. Since this post is about nostalgia, I only thought it appropriate to show pictures from "way back when" I was about as good at English writing as my junior high school students, hahahaa. Gaijin moment (...

Life of a Foreign Hachikin. Monday, March 19, 2012. Matsuyama Live, "ヤバい夜になるゼー!". Leeway's second show was once again, speechlessly fun. I don't think I've laughed so much in one day in awhile. 3 The four of us got to hang out in Matsuyama, wandering the streets, drinking beer, taking purikura, and talking about Tanuki (Tokushima is apparently famous for Tanuki! We learned about the Tanuki war and the top three Tanuki in Tokushima! Even Obama approves of noontime beer! Friday, March 16, 2012. When I answ...

Life of a Foreign Hachikin: April 2012
http://hachikin-hakujin.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Life of a Foreign Hachikin. Tuesday, April 3, 2012. Next Stop on the Shikoku Express. LEEWAY and Thirsty Chords. The last two weekends have been busy with shows, and this next weekend marks the last in making our rounds of Shikoku (3.17 Ehime, 3.25 Kochi, 3.31 Kagawa 4.7 Tokushima). While our Kochi show did not have the best turn-out (and me and Matto had to pay 8000 yen out of pocket because we live in the prefecture? It was still a fun show, and for once we didn't have to get on the highway and drive.

Life of a Foreign Hachikin. Pineapple Upside Down Cupcakes.

Life of a Foreign Hachikin. Friday, March 2, 2012. Top Five Japanese Movies. While looking forward to recording this Sunday (! 8 hours in the studio! I've been trying my hardest to get over a nasty little lingering cold (that I've been nursing for the past three weeks.) and have been laying around my apartment watching movies more often this week than I usually do. Now. When it comes to Japanese movies. I'm pretty skeptical. I've seen my fair share of horrid. Top Five Best Japanese Movies (IMO). And I th...
