I'm with you on the TV (and most of the stuff you said). I tried watching some TV when I first got there (on the loaner TV the dorm gave me) but after I got my own TV I stopped watching any Japanese TV (besides what I saw when I was at a cafe or something) and only used my TV for games and the occasional dvd. Heck, when they hooked up my HDTV in my room I didn't even have them plug it into the antenna. I just had no desire to see anymore Japanese TV. When I watched some of it when I first got there, I ran into some variety show with sudo-celebrities and contestants trying to make them laugh. If they didn't "appease" them, then someone hit a button and the person dropped through the floor. Made me think of the Gong Show

coffee in Japan is good but Tim Horton's is a lot better IMO. Or maybe I'm just used to the taste of it.

I'm grooving on this meme, even if I'm not commenting consistently.

I refuse to believe you haven't had more impressive GAIJIN!SMASH moments.

[aalfonso]

Like I said, I can't get away with Gajin Smash stuff because I don't look like a gaijin!

[chronovore]

But are you saying you don't do it anyway? I didn't ask if you got away with it...
