Bright Green Gaijin Pants
I lived in Kushiro, Hokkaido, Japan (Wikipedia, Official Site in Engrish) for a year as part of a college-level student exchange program. While I was there, I kept a blog of my adventures so that I wouldn’t have to explain and reexplain and re-reexplain everything that happened to me for interested parties.
In the interest of consolidation, I am reposting that blog (originally hosted on Blogger) here. Below are links to the reposted blog articles. Post three was actually two weeks’ worth of posts that I didn’t get to put up individually. Now that I know a little bit more about readability and the internet, I am breaking it down into something more like what I originally intended it to be.

That official site isn’t really in English so much as Engrish. They really need to hire a native speaker to give it the once-over. Just saying.
Yeah… true.
