The white staffs at McDonald’s

Yesterday, I went to the United Nations Tokyo Office for some issues. Before the appointment I was staying at a McDonald’s near the office. The moment I entered the McDonald’s, I was shocked that there was a white girl at the counter. What’s more, a young shy white boy was cleaning the floor. I was […]

Liberal Democratic Party’s campaign

I went to a  political campaign which was held in Akihabara last night. I had never seen any famous people in real life, so basically I went there just to see the Prime Minister. Although the government party is called “Liberal Democratic”, it’s actually a conservative party. Unlike Germany and other major countries in the […]

Pretend no to like Japan

If you come to Japan as a tourist and say “I love Japan so much”, I think no Japanese person will treat you badly. However, for long term residents, it is totally different. When I first came to Japan, I was like a straight kid. When I was asked “Will you go back to your […]

It seems that I have overcome the hardest part. Even things will not be as perfect as I thought they would be, they are already good enough. I believe I can get what I desire eventually. However, there is still a small chance that I fail due to accidents or other factors. After everything I […]

I always wondered why they put an emphasis on “go home” until I had an extremely awkward experience when I came to Japan half year ago. A university teacher invited me […]

Thoughts about Akihabara

I believe everyone who likes Japanese anime knows Akihabara, including me. It is a region located in downtown Tokyo. Since Akihabara is so called the  “holy ground” of Otaku, when I was young I struggled to go there. Almost ten years later, I have finally been to this place as an adult. However, what I […]

Sad reality found from a trip to Tokyo

I live in West Japan, which is far away from Tokyo. However, I have many “friends” on twitter who live in East Japan, near Tokyo. I have known some of them for many years. I went to Tokyo five days ago for my studies. I expected that I could at least have a drink with […]

Net-cafe in Japan

Last night, I went to a party at midnight. After the party was over, it was 3 AM, so I went to a net-cafe instead of going back to my dormitory because my dorm has a curfew. Net-cafes in Japan are really different from what you find in other countries. In fact, rather than calling […]
