Link of the Day: I Am A Japanese School Teacher.
An African-American guy goes to Japan to teach English, and writes a short weekly article about weird things that happen to him.
That's the Cliff's Notes summary of the page. Why should you read it? Because the guy is a fantastic writer. He's got a great sense of humor, a fresh, engaging style and honestly, if you want to read about culture shock manifestations and how kids are weird world-wide, I can't think of anything better to recommend. The articles are all pretty short too, so you can just read a few at a time but I should warn you that they're dangerously addictive.
Oh, and one more thing? I'd never heard of kancho before reading those. Now, I will never forget it.
