If I forget thee Kyoto ...
For the last few months I have been wanting to sell all my belongings and go to Japan. When I tell me family this, they mostly say 'why do you want to go there?' Well I came up with a list of six reasons why Japan is better than America.
6. Kimonos
Though I don't think that the'll be a lot of women my age walking around in them, I think there is a better chance of me running into them there than here. (This picture brings up my favorite anime influenced pick up line, one that I will use as soon as I get a chance. 'So are you naturally blue haired?'
5. Ramen Shops
You Just can't get a good bowl of Ramen in this country.
4. Killer Lolis
Any Country that has a whole genre of TV shows about murderous 14 year old girls has my vote for best country ever.
3. Mecha
America is just not the place to be if you love giant robots and the laconic, blue haired, clones who pilot them. (Again see above pick up line.)
2. Godzilla
No Comment necessary.
1. Haruhi-Sama
You find me another country where a 15 year old goddess lives and I'll be happy to go there.

I do not know which is worse you betraying your nerdiness or me understanding it.
Dude, I feel you. As soon as I'm done with this Seattle thing, I'm applying for the JET program or some such thing.
Hurray for ramen shops!
I've got another one for you... young Asian pop stars who dress in schoolgirl outfits and can actually sing most of the time.
nice one, mate. those are indeed fine reasons: even i am now tempted to leave st andrews for ol' nippon.
keep us informed of further developments.
greetings from the home of golf,
andri.
Simone, I call it 'geekiness'not 'nerdiness'.
Nomikkh, I didn't want to say anything about J-schoolgirl outfits, lest I sound like a complete perv.
Andri-san. Wow, great to hear from you. How is philosophy in the great wet north? (I guess south for you) Teaching High School makes me really want to die. I wish I was still in Scotland.
I understand and assent to the distinction.
