Archive for the ‘Videos’ CategoryGive a Japanese a bottle of aspirin with a childproof cap and see what happens. Tomoko picked up this bottle and asked me how to open it. Then I thought, hmm, Japan doesn’t have childproof anything. I started thinking about it more. There aren’t any childproof things in the stores. We had to go to Toys R Us to get all of our baby stuff. Actually, I can’t even think of another baby supply store in Japan. Is there one? Do Japanese get paranoid about baby safety? I also wonder why the Baby in Car signs are written in English. I am so happy someone has finally made a video on how to visit a sushi shop. I have always thought gaijins look so strange. Maybe now things will change.
The first video is, of course, making soba. The second video is of the fresh fish on skewer that was still alive. I had to take a little video of the drama of the fish. Is it true that river fish need to be well cooked? I was made to wait forever until they were too dry. Is there such a thing? Does it REALLY exist in Japan, or is it something brought to Japan by foreigners? Maybe religion has dictated that promiscuity is something best kept at home. The fact that men constantly challenge this belief simply complicates its regulation. Thus, if there is no regulation or standard belief, then it does not exist. This will save time for bachelors worldwide. How to fold a shirt. How someone thought this up I will NEVER understand. If this video is ever not available from You Tube, let me know. I’ll make another one. I might write about the difficulties and misunderstandings of living in Japan, but the fact of the matter is, it’s a great place to be. Kintarosan shows us once again just how great this island of mystery really is. Congratulations on your accomplishment and a big thank you for recording the experiences we so much enjoy of Japan. Arigato gozaimashita Kintarosan! UPDATE I sent an email to Kintarosan I run a website called Gaijin-in-Japan.com. I’ve just put your video on my site in order to share your great accomplishment. I’ve been living in Kobe for the past seven years after moving here from San Francisco. Sometimes I forget just how great this country really is. Thank you for reminding me. Please let me know how if I can support you further. Hope to hear from you. Mike PS: Looks like the beer is going down much better now. ============================================ Thanks for the support! What a wonderful website Mike, really great stuff. Ayumi does a blog too at www.ayumimeegan.com. Thanks for introducing me to your blog. I look forward to reading more! Best, |
