More American Than Me

I live in JAPAN, and some would say that I am less American for it. I think I am more not less. As I curate things I find on YOU TUBE, I found a real veteran of the United States military. Sometimes I find things on social media like FACE BooBoo praising veterans, and they think they mean military veterans, but they don’t say that. The word ‘veteran’ is used in the sports world. “We have some rookies, but we will play some veterans.” If you want to praise military veterans, think of the man in the YOU TUBE video.

Foreigners In Japan

I am a foreigner in Japan for more than 30 years. John makes the Only in Japan YOU TUBE channel, and the vid from him here makes the point that recently there are some who behave badly and make the good foreigners like me, by association, look not so good. Much of what he talks about is particular to Tokyo. I am in Shizuoka about an hour out by fast train.
