Are you on the JET program?
I know not every new American is a JET...but....it's a fair assumption to
make since they usually arrive at this time of year. I meet 6 or 7 new JETs
at the local summer festivals every year.

He can't be a JET. He said that he was moving to Japan "for job purposes"

"This is the place where in the 1990s Hanna was hung from a rod and
beaten with a special stick when she called out for Jesus or the Virgin
Mary. This is where she and other female prisoners were dragged outside
and tied to a dead tree trunk, nicknamed "Walid" by the guards, and
raped in the shadow of palm trees. This is the place where electric
shock was applied to Hanna's vagina. And this is where in February 2001
someone put a bullet in her husband's head and handed his corpse
through the steel gate like a piece of butcher's meat."
- The Washington Compost on the Baghdad police academy where Jumana
Michael Hanna and other Iraqi women were tortured, raped, and
brutalized. Mrs. Hanna was not liberated in Martin Sheen's name.

Yes, but don't you already know all of us cool people on fjlij? Mike
Cash sometimes drives his truck nearby (he toots his horn to let me
know), occasionally you can see some coffee brewing translating guy
named Sigi Rindler at his shop, if you drop by the MacExpo or Akihabara,
you might catch a glimpse of Louise, and heaven forbid if you go
anywhere near Osaka or Nagoya or (gasp) the Ryukyus...

Larry, there is a group of hapas here in Tokyo. I'll see if I can get
you some contact info. The guy I know works in Akasaka, by the way.
When you come to Tokyo, you'll realize that there are more gaijin here
than you can shake a stick at. If you let it happen, you can easily
live without speaking any Japanese.
Oh, and I'm usually in one of my favorite Irish pubs a few times a
month. Send me an e-mail when you arrive. If you are interested to see
what I look like or who I am, you can do a google search on my name and
easily find the info.
You also might try posting something in Tokyo Classified. But be more
specific. If you're looking for alien life forms or native ladies, say
so. Do you need a partner to go to the dojo with, or someone to explore
Tokyo or outlaying areas on the weekends? What do you mean by "friend"?
Friendship doesn't come easily in this town. I have friends I haven't
seen for months, just because we are all very very busy. It takes hard
work to stay in touch.
Good luck and all the best,

You need to read more carefully--he isn't interested in the likes of
Sigi or me....

Well, for some reason, I was thinking of 'wareware gaijin' rather than
Americanos...
BTW, how did you get that cat picture into MacSoup?

Or maybe it's "all gaigin are American"?

Use <http://ww.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macos/10091> then copy
the resultant text string into Internet Config (in the Japanese version,
it's the メセージ field in 詳細設定 which is maybe "Message"
in "Detailed Settings").

...and yet for some reason, your written posts tend to suggest that this
is only if they are Americans or non-Japanese women. Though I assume its
unintended.

than ebi anyway - Brian Tacang

gaijenerous -

gaijenerous proportion")
adjective: willing to give and share unstintingly
(Example: "A gaijenerous ejaculation")
adjective: not petty in character and mind (Example:
"Unusually gaijenerous in his judgment of people")

Yeah, everyone knows JET is a scheme for socially impaired Americans to find
wives and learn Japanese.

...and to isolate Austrians in bum-fuck nowhere towns where they learn to

I mean, fer chrissakes, you thought that *Nagoya* was civilisation after
that. I hear you've since been cured of this affliction.

No, the *other* Austria, the one with Koalas, Kanagaroos and Beer.

While I'm enjoying myself in Eastern Capital, I'd still prefer to live in
Nagoya.

Shouldn't you attribute that to The Onion?

Or the Tokyo Notice Board, several other smaller free English publications
free for pickup at major bookstores, restaurants, etc.
I have seen one or two Internet sites dealing with these issues too.
BTW, the Tokyo Classified and it's classified ads can be accessed via the
Internet.

Just as good.

the willing girls to go...
