I think I've met more interesting western #expats in a week in #Malaysia than I do in a year in #Japan.

What? You didn't see that coming? 😁

I think I got uninvited to be a guest on a podcast run by an expat in #Japan because she didn't like a post where I called convenience store #food #unhealthy & the same as eating fast food.

#Japan 🇯🇵 finally got their first female PM! Unfortunately, I don’t like most of her far-right political views, such as opposition to same-sex marriage, desire to amend Japan’s pacifist constitution, support for anti-immigration policies, and downplaying of Japanese war crimes.

Figured it was finally time to watch Audition (オーディション, 1999) today. Always meant to.
#horror #Japan

Audition (1999)
Seven years after the death of his wife, widower Shigeharu seeks advice on how to find a new wife from a colleague. Taking advantage of their position as a film company, they stage an audition. Interviewing a series of women, Shigeharu is enchanted by the quiet Asami. But soon things take a twisted turn as Asami isn’t what she seems to be.

Edo kiriko glassware is one of Japan’s most coveted crafts, prized for its complexity and beauty — here's where to buy it.

(Alltags)Dinge, die ich von #Japan *nicht* vermissen werde:
- nervige Jingles in allen Bahnhöfen und Bahnen, Geräuschüberflutung generell
- (fast immer) überfüllte Bahnen und Busse
- Kleine Zimmer
- sehr restriktive Rauchverbote und sehr versteckte Raucherbereiche
- Der soziale Druck, man könne ständig in ein Fettnäpfchen treten

Had a chat with our local cafe owner, who, it turns out, regularly goes to #Indonesia to source coffee and loves it. She showed us the Luwak Coffee she has, but only offers to regular customers - not on the menu!
I've finally figured out the mystery of who in #Japan is drinking

Japan's AI Reforestation Drones Plant Forests Ten Times Faster Than Humans | Happy Eco News
AI reforestation drones in Japan plant forests 10 times faster than traditional methods using LiDAR mapping and biodegradable seed pods, achieving 80% germination success in wildfire areas.

(Alltags)Dinge, die ich von #Japan vermissen werde:
- Überall Automaten mit recht günstigen, oft auch warmen Getränken
- Überall (fast immer) saubere öffentliche Toiletten
- guter, zuverlässiger ÖPNV
- Konbini, die immer verfügbar sind und das wichtigste anbieten
- sehr freundliches, hilfsbereites Servicepersonal, das (fast immer) auch da ist, wenn man es braucht

Legacy news sources in #Japan aren’t doing their part in engaging younger audiences. I sat down with Japan Today to discuss why the new generation is turning to #TikTok clips and #Line updates instead of

Congratulations to Japan on electing your first female leader!
I find this incredibly ironic… because Japan is often portrayed, with reason, as a place with deep misogynistic traditions/a highly patriarchal society that carries on to this day…
But here they are, finally breaking the government’s glass ceiling… and Canada? The USA? Many European countries?
A reminder not to throw stones in glass houses!
