Top 5 GCN Games

Staying on the video game route for a little bit, I’d like to share my top 5 Nintendo Gamecube games, based on my NReviews website reviews and scores for Nintendo Gamecube games that I had played. But before I share mine, I’d like to take a look at some other websites’ opinions on this matter. …

Star Fox Adventures Review

For those who are wondering, it’s not a complete cop-out to re-post reviews here on my blog. There’s a surprising amount of reformatting and editing; it almost takes longer than a new blog post. Of course, the difference there is that I have to think a little harder when I make a new blog post. …

The Inaka

Ah, yes. The inaka. If you’re on JET, this is what you have to be prepared for. Here is the blog post I based my post off of: http://www.ganbattetimes.com/2011/07/how-out-in-the-inaka-are-you/ This is actually a really good system. I would  be classified as ‘Village’ under his system, and this is fitting. I always tell people that they could …

Status update

So apparently I can make a status update on my blog. I guess Facebook and Twitter has influenced WordPress to includes such a feature. Well, at least it counts as a post (somehow), so I don’t need to make a full-fledged post today, which is great because it’s Saturday!

Google Street View

Am I the only one who does this? I use Google Street View to see exactly where I am going from either a nearby train station, bus stop or familiar intersection, so that I never have to go to an area and be ‘surprised’, in the sense that it will be new to me when …

Biblical Joy Part 1

Shiga’s Takashima City Trash Laws

I don’t know about other prefectures and areas of Japan, but it seems like Shiga ‘s Takashima City has some of the most lenient trash laws. Yes, it’s annoying to have to tear apart drinks that came in cardboard packaging (like orange juice), but that’s actually about the extent of it. Tokyo seems to lead …

Immediate Music

Every time I think I remember the name of this company, I forget it. So I am writing it here not only to share with you all, but for me to be able to remember it without searching on the Internet. Surprisingly, it doesn’t immediately come up upon searching Google, but alas, the company’s name …

Escalators in Japan

In Tokyo, if you are using an escalator, you need to stand on the left side. This is natural to Japanese people. The reason seems obvious enough-if you’re just going to stand on the escalator and not move, you should let people who are more in a hurry than you pass. Simple enough. Things get …
