Hey, look for me and other great Japanese blogs on Technorati. If you find any good ones make sure you send them to me :)

On the move

Soon you guys will be seeing some new and old things on the website. If your a little confused, let me explain. The gaijin guide has currently moved locations to Geneva, Switzerland. This turns out to be a great opportunity to expand the scope of Gaijin Guide to include various locations in Western Europe. I am still going through a ton of content in the form of videos and pictures of Japan so stay tuned for that, but also expect so gorgeous video and Pictures from around Europe :)

Hanshin Tigers

I head out to watch a Hanshin Tigers game at Koshien Stadium in Osaka. Copious amounts of fun ensue.

阪神甲子園球場でタイガーの試合を見た。めちゃ楽しかった。

"中国でこんな諺があるそうです。

お金で買えるものと買えないもの

お金で「家」は買えるけれど、「家庭」は買えない。
お金で「時計」は買えるけれど、「時間」は買えない。
お金で「ベッド」は買えるけれど、「快適な睡眠」は買えない。
お金で「本」は買えるけれど、「知識」は買えない。
お金で「名医」は買えるけれど、「健康」は買えない。
お金で「地位」は買えるけれど、「尊敬」は買えない。
お金で「血」は買えるけれど、「命」は買えない。
お金で「セックス」は買えるけれど、「愛」は買えない。

This is a proverb from China.

The things you can buy with money & the things you cannot buy with money.

One can buy a house, but cannot buy a home
One can buy a watch, but cannot buy time
One can buy a bed, but cannot buy sleep
One can buy a book, but cannot buy wisdom
One can buy a skilled doctor, but cannot buy health
One can buy social status, but cannot buy respect
One can buy blood, but cannot buy life
One can buy sex, but cannot buy love"

New Opening

Here is a new opening that I have put together for my upcoming videos. There are a lot more coming, I swear. I'm just trying to get some work out of the way and do some traveling at the moment. Nevertheless, don't worry there is some really good content yet to come.

Okonomiyaki

In this video we cover my recent trip to a J-League Soccer game and my stop at a local restaurant to sample some okonomiyaki. Come along and experience it with me.

Exquisite Shots

I don't know if you guys have been checking out my Flickr photostream, but here are two teaser pictures to get you guys to head on over to the site. I got some absolutely amazing shots during my recent time in Okinawa and in Kyoto. The Sakura in Kyoto were simply amazing and I was fortunate enough to catch four maiko (geisha in training) on film and video. Make sure to check out my Sakura video too if you haven't seen it yet.
