SAVE JASON!

Posted in Japanese life, Video, 外人(foreigners) on May 21, 2009 by tkyosam

Watch this video from my friend Jason:

Jason is my buddy that I mentioned in a past blog about living in Japan.  This dude is a great guy and has helped countless people in the process of wanting to live/teach in Japan.  In the video he said that fuckin Troll told his school that is a bastard-asshole-white-monkey who shouldn’t have videos of him at his school, etc. etc.  This hater is called uverman65676 (whatever forgot), he has been a pain in my ass and all the other youtube jvloggers out there, most of us ignore him (so did I, he even posted hate shit on this blog and my youtuber), but since Jason gave us his school name in his vids the hater found this out and contacted Jason’s school.

“NOW!  WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT IT SAM!?!?”, good question.  Well for starters, send an email saying how much Jason has affected your life and helped in so many ways relating to teaching/living in Japan and express your anger towards these unholy beaurocratic douche bags in charge of his job.

Send the email to:     bunka-kokusai@pref.shimane.lg.jp

Thanks guys, lets SAVE JASON!

:D

A “Fuck You Japan” Day :D

Posted in Japan people, Japanese life, random advice on May 18, 2009 by tkyosam

Japan demoYo guys, whoever is still reading this shizzle.

Now you guys should know this by now, but in case you didn’t know, let me tell you: I LOVE JAPAN!!!!  This place is great!  Home of sushi, ninjas and every kind of porn known to man!  Since coming here I have had so many good experiences, lost weight, learned how to converse in a completely different language – overall – GOOD SHIZZLE.  But sometimes there is stuff that happens, not just to me, I garuntee everybody who is a foriegner living here can agree there is just a moment where you hate this country.  Hate the people, hate the customs, the electronic ladies voice coming from the toilet seat.  It’s not just a “bad” day, it’s a “bad day” accompanied by being in a foreign culture.

Ok, so why am I even bringing this up?  Last weekend I was in Tokyo clubbing and hanging out with my buddy Lex and we were trying to kill some time before heading to a club, so we were going around Shibuya and chatting with random Japanese people.  We were being nice and saying “Hi” and introducing ourselves and just trying to be nice and open towards our native hosts.  Except at the end of meeting ANY of them, they would very passively-agressively tell us to leave them the fuck alone -.-  In Japan you have this thing called たてまえ(bullshit feelings) and ほんね (true feelings), now every country has it’s own style of being passive agressive, but since this is the internet and I HAVE a computer with internet and a blog account I feel the need to say shit I am not 100% sure about, just like I would say now how Japanese people are the best bullshiters in the world :D !!!!!!!

I love this place, I really do.  I feel more connected to this country than I ever did to my own country.  Even though I have only been living in this country for 2 years, Japan has been a major part of who I am ever since I was a child and when people ask me if I would take Japanese citizenship, the answer would be a “HELL YES!”.  “You can’t choose where you are born, but you can control where you want to be after we reach adulthood” one of my viewers told me over Skype.  I honestly don’t see myself going back to America to live, sure I might go back for a couple years for further educational needs, but other than that I see myself being an expat for the rest of my life.  The only reason I would get citizenship here would be just so I never have to leave this place after that happens.
This has turned into a rant about “citizenship” when it was supposed to be a rant about Japan sucking hardcore for an instant second.  You gotta look at the glass of water from all perspectives.  One person says “the glass is half empty”.  One person says “the glass is half full”.  I say “man, why are you guys looking at my Urine sample?”.  You gotta try to look at every situation from the opposite view of you.  SUre all those people were passive assholes basically brushing me off 5 minutes into a conversation with me, but I mean, for all I know, they could have all had AIDS or the Plague and just wanted me to get as far away from them as possible so I wouldn’t fall victim to it too :D

Whatever, end.

You wanna move to Japan? Here’s How:

Posted in Japanese life, random advice, 外人(foreigners) on March 23, 2009 by tkyosam

How to learn and become fluent in Japanese:

Khatzmoto – is your household answer to learning Japanese-khatz-pic1NO!-any language you would ever want to know;while being organized, yet whitty enough to keep your attention through the long-but necessarily helpful table of contents. Khatz says what any of us could/should have guessed on our own when we first got the idea to study a language: IMMERSION.  You wanna learn a language?  You wanna learn it fast?  Then you gotta be like a kid and have no choice to be immersed in the language.   Khatz slaps that face formed by years of social conditioning of yours with palm of reason and logic!  Khatz is living proof that his own method works.  Khatz even says HE ISN’T SPECIAL!  If HE can DO IT then ANY asshole CAN!  No need to be suffering, play some video games and watch Japanese porno.  Speaking of assholes,  I have been doing it for a year and I am already better than most of my friends who have been taking it for years in school.  It works!  Do it!


How to get an idea of living in Japan Permanently, Building-a-house, Marriage, Divorce, Raising-children:

Debito Arudou- is the dude who wants you know about racism/discridebitomination about Japan. Now, if you are like me and have experienced zero-to-NO racism in this country, then you can skip all his articles about that shizzle and go directly to his page for “Long term Residents”. Here you are going to find tons of articles on awesome/interesting stuff, like getting Permanent Residency, Cycling in Hokkaido, and even building your own friggin’ HOME!

He is a funny dude who got big, people hate him because he has so many people that like him, those people can suck a chode :D

How to get to Japan and teach English here:

Jason (Myargonauts) -This is Jason, he works for JET and likes to jason3make movies for the new ALT’s that are coming to Japan.  Now, this WAS meant only for the people coming to Japan on the JET program, but overall, the stuff he talks about is very practical and very helpful for Japan new comers like: getting a drivers license, buying big people sized clothing, and dealing with being gay (he isn’t) while teaching in Japan.  fd

AATEIJ- this website I came across by accident while I was studying Korean one day.  All About English Teaching in Japan has everything I wish I HAD KNOWN about Japan before I came here.  Visas,  Apartments,  Shopping, it is VERY oganized and will help you answer most questions you have about the job market over herelogo.

Racism in Japan, the blog post

***IF YOU LIKE MY VIDZ PLZ SUBSCRIBE, COMMENT, and RATE***

ごめんね、日本の皆さんこのビデオはの会話、全部英語だよ。でも大丈夫、悪いの話しじ やないぞう。

Yo everybody, this is my buddy Khatz and I are talking about “Racism in Japan”, which we honestly don’t give a fuck about. Any time we have had a misunderstanding or encountered something that seems along the lines of “racism”, we usually can deal with it fairly easily. We have both experienced racism towards not being able to “get an apartment” and being “stopped by racial profiling ” cops, each time has not been a as a big deal as people on the internet make it out to be (at least in our opinions, which of course are the most valid on the world wide web…bitches).

Guys, seriously, this country is great, any time you think there is “RACISM” going on, take a step back, learn Japanese fluently, live here for a couple years, be intregrated into the culture before assuming “RACISM”.

みな、この国が大好きだ、素晴らしくにだよ。日本は最高!
