A Blog about Japansanity - 05-27-2007, 06:32 AM

Hello, I just stumbled upon this blog site.

A western man's living in Japan for some time, these are the funny stories of his Japan experience...

Quote:
Culture shock is what happens when you live in a foreign country, and you often become irritated or frustrated by all of the cultural differences. Culture Shock makes people bitter, angry and frustrated. It makes people hate all the little things that make a nation like Japan unique, and it has the potential to put a real damper on your ex-patriot life. One way to fight Culture Shock is to be hellbent on being more shocking than any given cultural situation. I have a dirty mind, a sick sense of humour and I firmly believe in eating very strange things to assert my rightful place on the food chain. Welcome to my little window on Japansanity.
Merry Man in Japan

If you get cultural shock you shouldn't be in Japan in the first place imo.
If you truely love Japan it just wouldn't happen.

Then make a comment about this in one of his blog entries...

I've read a few so far... So I learned he's Canadian but why he's in Japan is still a mystery yet to unfold

I think I should make links more eye-catcher My bad

With most of the skewed images people have of what Japan is really like, I think that in 90% of the cases, culture shock is a given.


If anyone is trying to find me… Tamyuun on Instagram is probably the easiest.

Exactly, and if that happens you shouldn't be in Japan.

Yeah but if someone gets so shocked they become all "Japan isn't that good!" then obviously they shouldn't be there.

If you go to Japan from another country and you aren't culture shocked, then you probably aren't paying attention.

It will happen to just about everybody!
