For what it's worth, Yokosuka is probably the Japanese city most accustomed to Westerners. 4% of the city's population is American.

When I was in the Navy, my ship visited Petropavlovsk during the summer and they were on UTC+13. That was weird to begin with, what with the theoretical limit on only twelve time zones each direction from Greenwich. But then after the visit

Sorry if this is too pedantic, but that's the whole point of devaluing the currency. In this case, there's no domestic kitchen industry because it's cheaper to import them. But if the currency devalues, then it becomes more e

Recommendation: "The Kodansha Kanji Learner's Course" by Andrew Scott Conning is a modern version of RTK. Same concept, but better organization, more kanji, and a more natural layout and learning order.

I have a copy of The Americans on the table in my office. I can't count the number of times visitors have idly started flipping through it, only to get mesmerized and ask to borrow it. It's an amazing work of art that only gets

With only two exceptions (Philippines and American Samoa), you need to be a permanent resident (i.e, already have a green card) to enlist in the U.S. military if you aren't a citizen.

Yup. There's quite a bit of white privilege dripping from this article. I'm supposed to feel sorry for a Ivy League lawyer? What if this was written by a 33-year old Haitian who went to Cal State Fullerton? Would it get the same r
