love mail!

Here is some actual reader mail that we love! Nothing is made up; some letters have been edited; only first names of the sender will be posted.

You are in pale yellow; we are in black.

I don't know; this may become a forum and save myself all the copy & pasting and color-coding. But for now you can mail us here.

Vox Populi....The People Have Spoken...Your Letters:

Your website... sardonic sprinkled truths. I like                --allan

thanks. I like that you like. nice to see sardonic (an excellent word) referring to something other than prick cheney's smile.

I freakin' love your site!

thanks for the kind words. I don't wear the mantle of role model lightly. Gambaru!

very funny site, were you ever involved in the Journalism field?  let's do a collaboration of story and photos and sell it...if you are interested, later     --nathan

I'm deluded into thinking this is journalism. but I am going to check out your photos and see if we can do something. thanks for the interest & suggestion.

you know, I have never shared a japanese toilet (not to poop anyway), so I can't say. but in the luckless times I have been forced to squat in one (they are GREAT to pee in btw, like pissing outside, just aim for the ground) I have to take my pants off (usually after my shoes) hang them on the door hook, email my boss that I'm coming in late, and do my best to drop one in the hole.

ps  elena, what's your 3 Size? my otaku friend tatsuaki wants to know but he is too afraid to speak actual words to an actual female...oh. wait a minute...

hi erena-chan! I'm name tatsuaki-kun! please to also send photo of yourself also. i'm make the my blow up doll that rook just rike you. thanks you!

hi am alex by name i will really like to know u very much u can also drop ur cell phone number i will like to sing u on the ring tone                             --alexzandra

alright, maybe that one is spam, but nice to feel wanted so badly. and the writing has a certain musical charm--who knows, the ring tone may be great--but I'm too afraid to reply because s/he sounds like a psychopath.

Cool site

Hi There,

You got a cool site and some nice pictures.

Fun stuff.

Cheers from  Vancouver,

Otto

hiya
I stumbled onto your web pages at japandemic. lots of lovely pearls. i don`t spend a lot of time searching for japan bits, but regularly stumble over opinionated, arrogant crap written by `instant experts` so yours was a charming breath of fresh air. I clicked on page 3 but it didn`t go anywhere... just as well as it`d have to end sometime, but I`d read (and chuckle over) it all no matter how long it went on for
cheers                                                         --dale

thanks brother, keep on stumblin'! page 3 now has a few shots of race queens & perverts from the suzuka F1 circuit. hope you clicked around--it's like a minefield of fun!

p.s.  talk up the site to your friends and enemies (whichever you have more of). gracias.

awesome site u got =)

whoa! Titus...the youth have spoken!  That is some dope wordology in there.  a most vibrant & dynamic letter...what it lacks in syntax & grammar it makes up for in energy & enthusiasm, like rap. thanks for the props & good will and for making yourself part of the site...post it wherever you like.

keep stopping by japandemic, and tell your friends about it...and easy on the locoweed mi amigo. (actually, tell your dealer about the site, those guys know LOTS of people.) Thanks dude.

p.s. a chinese mexican named Titus? america really has gone crazy in my absence.

thanks for the enquiry. you know there are many sites which provide information about teaching in japan, but you are right in coming here for we are smarter and more clued in than the hoi polloi out there.

We are fielding this question so much lately that we will soon be unveiling a page dedicated to this issue.  we will post a direct link to it so all can behold the genius...I wish I had been around to teach me all this stuff before I actually came here.

in the meantime try clicking on a few of the "Teach in Japan" themed ads on the site! couldn't hurt...

Thanks for the appreciation & shouts out from Canada, a country I love (west coast anyways).  Come on back, bring your friends...see you in Japan.

Hey honcho,

I just wanted to say that your site is astonishingly informational. I have been poring over sites like Big Daikon and Gaijin Pot in an effort to get more information about culture and life in Japan because I am hoping to teach English there. I've applied to a certain government-sponsored program, and am still awaiting the verdict. Your words and pictures are hilarious and poignant, specific and telling without being too much so. I wish you guys would update more, though! I'm always checking back to find the newest picture with a caption. I know that all of you (how many, I do not know. Does anyone?) must be very busy with your normal lives, and contribute whaenever you can...but I want more! Oooooh I'm kidding but I'm really not...sigh.

When (yes, WHEN) I arrive in Japan for work I want to begin contributing to japandemic in an effort to inform and assist people like me. I hope there's not some rigorous induction process.

Be safe, and watashi wa nippon o ikimasu! Sayonara,

-Smuttynose

p.s. please use my pseudonym, not my real name, if you print this.

Lovin' the pseudo-name.

apologies to readers: would have had more up if hadnt been so busy following all leads for smuttynose on Google.

Thanks...everyone stumbles onto this site because we're all drunk.

sassy...I am so getting some from this pirate wife.

my new time-killer

I stumbled upon your site a few weeks back, and I went through the first page and had a couple laughs, thought it was interesting, left, and didn't think about it. Then, a week later, something compelled me...and I was drawn back! I went through a ton of pages, reading EVERYTHING over and over and over.  Awesome site, keep the pictures and info and fun coming!

Joshua
