Saying goodbye to Japan. My last week.
nightv | 3:49 AM on 09.11.2009 4 comments


Well if anyone has read some of my post they would know that i have been living in Japan for about 2 years now.
And with all good things it will be coming to an end.

As most of you know a teacher no matter where you are does not get paid much, and I have now been pushed to low as my job has started paying me late as well making things much worse. So with that and some other things that happened with a crazy ex-girlfriend I bid far well to my land of gaming.

I loved being able to get the latest Famitsu while on my way to the local arcade to play some hot Tatsunoko Vs Capcom action. As poor as I was I could still get 2 hours of game time with 100yen or about a buck. Some times going to the Shmup lane and picking 1 of the 12 Shmups they had or maybe just a little gundam 2v2 fighting action. All the new friends that I made while living here I will miss dearly. Still remembering drunken talks with my friends of why Metal gear solid 2 was better then 1(The Japanese love metal gear solid 2 for some reason.) Playing volleyball on sunny Hikari beach with everyone as we drink and make jokes about the girls to shy to strip down to a bathing suit and going it to the water with all there cloths on( yes they do that out here, guess they dont want us to see the bush).

All in all it has been a crazy ride, and I love being able be here and learn a bit more of the world while I was here. I leave to move back to LA CA USA on the 9/15 and I have never been sadder.

So as I bid far well I remember that one site that helped me out when I needed a laugh and was down before I meet all my great friends here, was Dtiod and all the great people posting all the great things they got to say as well as letting me act like a bit of an ass :D when I just wanted to rant.

Thanks Dtoid ya helped me allot this last 2 years hand made me laugh and think when I was in a slump.
Thanks for all your hard work(everyone on Dtoid.)

Much love
~Michael
