I have no problem with you naming those countries simply because it wasn't me directly who named them :) However I do wonder of just how much of my little rant you (and others) might agree or disagree with :)

A nice glass of Korean Shochu is always a good treat.

Another guy, Hito, that I met on the train heading back to my condo. Nifty thing is that he was in Japan to visit his folks before heading back to Victoria, B.C. (in Canada for those too uneducated to realize). Small world.

Next time... the Tokyo Fashionista Ball. However I need to know from YOU people.... do you want me to post the images from it? It has a lot of back-stage shots as well as ones from the event itself which include skantily clad women of many races... and men. And no, I'm not going to 'filter' out the men just for your own enjoyment. You either take it all, or none, heh heh.

I've never been to Japan, so I wouldn't know first-hand, but I would have thought that the ranking would have been more like this:

#1. USA
#2. Korea
#3. no clue

I'm surprised to see Nigeria above America, though I suppose that can be construed as a good thing for us Yanks; and I'm really surprised to see Filipinos on the list. I would have thought the racial tension I always hear about between Japanese and Koreans would have had more weight in the end.

I wouldn't disagree with your assessment of America's international policy of behaving like the self-appointed "Morality & Cultural Etiquette Police."

Thank you for submitting your take on things. Koreans for the most part, even to the Japanese (as told directly) are nearly indistinguishable as there are so many have they have been so deeply acculturated here. However the Filipinas that are here (yes, I only mention the women) are so easy to pick out of a crowd that they are considered more of a problem than any others. Out of the few dozen Filipinas I know personally, about 2/3 of them are hookers/hostesses. And if you bleeding heart pansy-ass queefs say "Hostesses are NOT hookers!" then you also believe that 'escorts' aren't hookers either.

Super potato is probably the best game store ever!

If you ever go to Akiba, you have to go there.

It's always nice to see new pictures, makes me want to visit japan again.

Keep them coming.

Here are the first sets of images I'm posting from the recent Tokyo Fashionista Event. For the first time, I was a double-employee acting on behalf of both the club and the event organizer. This one paid the rent on the studio and my apartment for the next several months.

Michi and Hiro, owner of a hair company here. I forget the name since I'm a little drunk after doing some shots of shochu (blech!) so please pardon my lack of remembering.
