      I love Japan.
      I am Polish. Japan saved 765 Polish orphans in 1920 and 1922. Around 1920, there were about 200,000 Polish in Siberia. Most of them died. Poland has asked various countries to save Polish orphans in Siberia. But all countries refused to rescue. Poland finally commissioned Japan to rescue Polish orphans. The Japanese emperor and empress at the time immediately ordered the Japanese to save the Polish orphans.Japan soon began rescue Polish orphans.The orphan was in Siberia. Japanese continued to rescue Polish orphans in Siberia. The smallest orphan that Japan saved was a two-year-old child.The orphan was crying near her dead mother. The Japanese immediately rescued the orphan. Polish orphans were sent to Japan for treatment. Japan fed the Polish orphans a hot meal every day. All Polish orphans have recovered. Japan continued to love Polish orphans very much. All Japanese donated money to save Polish orphans. Polish orphans were always smiling. Japan has successfully returned 765 Polish orphans to Poland.
      I will not forget this story. Thanks to Japan. God bless Japan.

Legend says he is living in a ranch in Argentina, others say you can see him skipping on water through the sunrise, but i like to believe he is somewhere in Mexico discovering tacos for the first time in his life.
    Wherever you are, Ryotaro of the disturbing laugh, you are remembered as a gentleman and a scholar. :')

      There are many English sounds that don't exist in Japanese. One example is the "ir" sound as in "bird." The closest Japanese sound is "ar" as in "hard." That's why "bird" comes out sounding like "bard" when many Japanese say it.

"present for you" and told me to try this mystery meat, and all the while his friends couldnt stop laughing, so, i tried it and asked him what it was, and he said chicken and grabbed his neck. It turned out to be chicken throat. we sat together and talked for awhile and had a great time.

    My nightlife tip, don't go bar/club hopping, get drunk, and charge it all on your credit card. This guy that was staying at the hostel when I was in Tokyo was charged something like $2,000 US for a night on the town. He called his bank to tell them that he was overcharged and they told him that there was nothing they could do about it. Make sure you use cash only, and don't get so drunk that you cant read the bar bill to see if they are overcharging you or not.

    The reason why you eat/drink ramen after a night out is because it helps with the hungover the next day.
