Occidental Tourist
Book one -- My last days in the U.S. before the journey begins.
(This journal is a work in progress -- it's an archive of my essays that I wrote while in Japan. For more recent episodes of my life, drop by my diaryland journal. Don't forget my webcam journal entries, either!)
Seasoned nipponophiles will enjoy a peek at my purikura. These tiny pictures are the best way to document your night out on the town in Japan.
The Occidental Tourist isn't as lonely as he used to be, huddled over his pitiful electric heated table and eating tangerines while watching sumo wrestling on the terebi (TV). But you can still talk about Japan or Japanese culture at the Occidental Tourist Forum.
