Japan's Carrie Bradshaw Says "If You Catch the Train to a Date, Don't Bother Dating or Marrying".

Can you believe it friends? Japanese women like money. Who would have thought that? A famous Japanese woman blogger, some call her Japan's Carrie Bradshaw, has written an article (link on my Youtubes friends) advising men who want to catch a train to a date to stay home, and don't bother dating or marrying. She also advises them to go to the country and pull on a cow's teats, and even so far as to say they should **** the cow's teats.

7.3 Earthquake Hits Eastern Japan - December 7, 2012

A 7.3 magnitude earthquake has hit eastern Japan again friends. This one was off the coast off Touhoku again and was felt in Tokyo Town. I am safe friends, and I hope you are too.

Say, when y'all came over and signed up for that ESL professional job making 200,000 Yens a month, did y'all expect you might die one day in an earthquake? I sure hope y'all at least considered it.

THE LAST MEMORIES OF AN ESL TEACHER IN JAPAN: 
I'M GOING TO DIE BECAUSE OF A FUCKING EARTHQUAKE I WILL NO LONGER BE ABLE TO BE AN ESL TEACHER
 OH SHIT

Stay safe out there my ESL teacher friends. And don't forget to listen to my podcast about how to survive the big one that's overdue to hit Tokyo Town.

HOW TO SURVIVE THE FORTHCOMING TOKYO EARTHQUAKE

WITH WHISKEY, GOOD FOOD, AND BITCHES.


AND MORE WHISKEY.

Know your Tokyo - Ikebukuro, Toshima City

Whenever I take the metro to Ikebukuro, Toshima City and emerge from the east Seibu exit onto Meiji Dori into the twilight, I feel alive. Why friends? Because it is like stepping out into a set from Blade Runner. The claustrophobic atmosphere of the east part of Ikebukuro (which has no fewer than three Bic Camera stores - all each with their own building), a LABI (Yamada Denki) and others will give you a real feeling of being on the deck Battleship Tokyo, more so than even parts of Shinjuku, which isn't quite as claustrophobic and imposing around its station. Toshima City is one of the eight central wards of Tokyo (out of the 23 special wards) and Ikebukuro is the second busiest train station in the world, at about 2.8 million passenger transits each day (Heathrow Airport, London, England has only 60 million a year) and the busiest metro station in the world (Marunouchi, Yurakucho, Futokushin lines). The Toshima City entotsu (translation: chimney)is something to behold friends, and it is the third tallest structure in all of Tokyo (after the Tokyo Sky Tree and the Tokyo Tower). It is the distinctive gleaming white polygonal column, an ode to the great wonders of the ancient world, with flashing red eyes that sits above the cavernous confines of the streets of east Ikebukuro. I will take you on a tour of Ikeburo in my forthcoming podcast, so stay tuned and ask your questions below.
Peace
Tokyo Joe
