Well, I'm going to miss this place. In a little over a week, I'm out of Japan, and back to the land of fat people with nice teeth.

I've been trying to figure out what the two years here have meant.

I think it won't make any sense until I get back home...

Oh that's right... my dad moved this week, and I'm homeless.

Sweet.

So, so you can get an idea of the oddities that I've endured, you get a link.

These are magazine articles that are a bit exaggerated... they are NOT news stories, but features. They still do a wonderful job of highlighting the stranger parts of Japan.

Enjoy. There are a bunch more articles on the side, too.

When you get back in the states if you ever roll through Indiana let me know I'll buy you a Woodchuck.

I swear man, If you bring any "pet" habits back, I'll correct them in 10 minutes with a base ball bat.

Who in the fuck let's a dog hump their leg until it spooges?

From Longshot's Article
We were talking about breeding him and wanted him to have some practice. I formed a circle with my thumb and index finger and let him rub up against that. We did the breeding in a park and it went perfectly, which I suppose was the result of all the practice we'd given him.

UGH.

I shouldn't be shocked really. I mean, look at some of the other articles in that paper.

The titles alone had me rolling.

Why's that? We could call it a present and I could give you the money under the table. What's illegal about that?

Gross.

Anyway, hope your trip back home is safe, Longshot.

Take it easy and see you on the flip side.

You should get this book: Dave Berry Does Japan when you get back. The parts about baseball and Hiroshima especially, but I don't think you're allowed to buy only the particularly relevant portions of books, and it was written like 10-20 years ago (aka the Wezas/Weedmage/Mesozoic era).

You'll get by that feeling, Longshot. Please believe me. I've been where you are, and I know how it feels. However, over time the alien feeling will pass. :)
