“Get Your Picture Taken with F*cking Angels”

December 3, 2008

I’m a big fan of Japanese clothes with appallingly mis-translated English on them. They make great Christmas presents for friends back home. Here’s an unnecessarily rude T-shirt, available from this website.

Buy My Book for Christmas

December 3, 2008

Are you struggling to think of something to buy your loved ones for Christmas? I have just the solution! Buy every single one of them a copy of “Sensei-tional.” My outrageous book about the antics of English teachers in Japan is still avaiable from Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.co.jp, Amazon.co.ca, Target.com, Tower.com, BarnesandNobel.com, lulu.com, Tesco.com, and other sites.

It will make them very happy indeed (and me, too- I might not have to sell a kidney to pay the rent in January!)

Groovy Tokyo Bars February 22, 2012

The Guardian have printed a list of trendy bars and clubs to check out in Tokyo. A nice variety of watering holes are featured in the article, and I can vouch for most of them, especially the brew pubs and whiskey bars, although I have yet to try Stand S’s “mojito beer”, which sounds like [...]

A nicely-named bar in Sannomiya, Kobe. Hi, pals. Since this blog seems to get more traffic now than when I was actually writing it, I may as well start posting again. One afternoon a couple of weeks ago, 63,000 people checked out a story I wrote 3 years ago. It’s a bit like everyone buying [...]

Definitive List of Tokyo’s Beer Gardens July 20, 2011

Tokyo’s balmy summer evenings are perfect for a bit of outdoor beer-imbibing (except when there’s a bloody typhoon like today.) Where better to enjoy it than on the top of a skyscraper, under the stars? (you can’t see actually any stars, but you can achieve the same effect by signing up for an all-you-can drink [...]

Little in Japan: New Room-mate July 13, 2011

I’ve finally put a new comic strip up on my other site, Little in Japan, after tons of slacking, procrastination, dealing with a high-maintenance woman, boozing, and hob-nobbing at parties. This time the disaster-prone, insecure English teacher, Dave, is horrified to discover he’s getting a new, young room-mate. Check it out at littleinjapan.com.

Hilarious T-Shirts from T-Shitsu July 11, 2011

Rainy season is officially over, and it’s time for me to stock up on some new threads to sweat all over during the “super cool biz” summer.
