David :SetouchiExplorer:<p>Games you can play while in Japan. After the well-known "Is it an earthquake or a big truck?" introducing "Is it an earthquake or the wind?"</p><p><a href="https://setouchi.social/tags/Japan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Japan</span></a> <a href="https://setouchi.social/tags/LifeInJapan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LifeInJapan</span></a></p>
David :SetouchiExplorer:<p>Apparently there's some gossip in my department about the fact that Europeans are the only ones to take their full yearly holidays.</p><p>My answer to that? Hell yeah!</p><p>Happy and proud to not having been brainwashed into the fact that thinking taking a break from work was a bad thing (like my fellow Japanese) or so not used to having some that they don't know what to do with it (like Americans do)</p><p><a href="https://setouchi.social/tags/LifeInJapan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LifeInJapan</span></a></p>
David B. Himself<p><span>One of the many reasons I love living in Japan is that the three monotheistic religions are almost non-existent here. (it's hard to avoid them in the news, especially these days, but at least they're not in my life for the most part).<br><br>- There are a few Jews - foreigners. They mind their own business.<br>- There are a few Muslims (mostly foreigners.) They mind their own business.<br>- There are a few Christians (foreigners and Japanese). And.... they always seem to fucking try to convert people. My wife tells me that at least once a week some kind of missionaries knock on our door during the day when she's home. There's this woman proselytizing who knows what in front on campus (although to be fair she could be from one of the many Japanese cults.) And two days ago, someone gave a Bible to my daughter (and all of her classmates) in front of her school as they were returning home. How is that even allowed? Motherfuckers. If I witness this one day, they'll hear from me. (the Bible is in the trash if you're wondering)<br><br></span><a href="https://firefish.city/tags/Japan" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Japan</a><span> </span><a href="https://firefish.city/tags/LifeInJapan" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LifeInJapan</a><span> </span><a href="https://firefish.city/tags/Religions" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Religions</a></p>

Unseen Japan<p>A Japanese reporter asked exchange students what they thought about life in Japan. Their answers, she says, are sobering - and people in Japan should take them to heart. </p><p><a href="https://buff.ly/3XXMKAN" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">buff.ly/3XXMKAN</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> </p><p><a href="https://mstdn.jp/tags/japan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>japan</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.jp/tags/unseenjapan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>unseenjapan</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.jp/tags/ujwebsite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ujwebsite</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.jp/tags/lifeinjapan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lifeinjapan</span></a></p>
Unseen Japan<p>Over 67% of Japanese people surveyed think increased immigration to Japan will increase opportunities to speak foreign languages &amp; learn about other cultures. On the downside, over 70% think or think that it’ll lead to more misunderstandings around Japanese culture &amp; customs.</p><p><a href="https://unseen-japan.com/japan-foreign-population-thoughts/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">unseen-japan.com/japan-foreign</span><span class="invisible">-population-thoughts/</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://mstdn.jp/tags/japan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>japan</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.jp/tags/unseenjapan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>unseenjapan</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.jp/tags/ujwebsite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ujwebsite</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.jp/tags/immigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>immigration</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.jp/tags/lifeinjapan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lifeinjapan</span></a></p>
David :SetouchiExplorer:<p>Dear neighborhood community leader,<br>You're a very nice guy, but is the leafblower on a Sunday afternoon, really that necessary? Or a leafblower at all? These dead leaves belong to the ground where they fell (and their goal is to fertilize it) not in an incinerator.</p><p><a href="https://setouchi.social/tags/Japan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Japan</span></a> <a href="https://setouchi.social/tags/LifeinJapan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LifeinJapan</span></a></p>
David B. Himself<p><span>So I didn't bother learning the name of the UK's new Prime Minister thinking he was just going to last a few weeks, but he's sticking around. Does it mean I need to make a Google search?<br><br>And about Germany's new chancellor? Merkel is gone, gone, right?
