I like big butts and I cannot lie. I am the modern man (secret secret, I've got a secret) who hides behind a mask (secret secret, I've got a secret) so no one else can see (secret secret, I've got a secret) my true identity. I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed just to get it all out, what's in my head. And I, I'm feeling a little peculiar. And so I wake in the morning and I step outside and I take a deep breath and get real high, and I scream at the top of my lungs, "What's going on?" And I say: Heeeeyyyyyy yeeeahhhh yeeeeahhhh, I said hey! What's going on?

Wk 5 – Gifu: “They call me Plays-with-Squirrels”

By Curtis | Published July 9, 2013

Fun fact: Even Asians can’t always tell each other apart. According to a website that shows people of various Asian backgrounds and asks the user to distinguish between Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, the average score was a mere 7 out of 18. So don’t worry, you’re not racist (well, you might be, but not because […]

Wk 4 – Osaka: 7-Eleven food is delicious!

By Curtis | Published July 2, 2013

Fun fact: Contrary to popular belief, I like to oot (oot oot) ooples, but not banoonoos. This week I’d like to apologize to my Aunt Debbie for what I just bought my little cousins. To keep it a secret, I won’t say, but can assure her that it’s not a sword, nor is it something […]

Wk 3 – Gamagori: I don’t wanna go home

By Curtis | Published June 25, 2013

Fun Fact: Not only is Mr. Roboto not the national anthem, but most Japanese people have never even heard of it! So I got bored with just listing the place for a title, so I’m adding titles now. When I first started this blog, I considered doing clever titles, but thought it might be too […]

Weekend 2 – Kyoto

By Curtis | Published June 18, 2013

This week I’m going to apologize to photographers. I have minimal knowledge of how my camera works, and maximum apathy for the rule of thirds and all that. Any following of such rules is merely instinct or coincidence. Also, for a while my camera was on a weir setting where it would include more than […]

Weekend 1 – Nagoya

By Curtis | Published June 11, 2013

As my classes begin, I’m starting to realize how much work it’ll be, regardless of it mostly being review. Because of this, in spite of how exciting I’m sure it’d be to write and read about every little thing I do every day, my entries will mostly focus on the weekends, and random details of […]

First week

By Curtis | Published June 6, 2013

I’m going to apologize to OCD people for my lack of verb tense agreement. I’m writing different things at different times, and also I don’t care. If you wonder why I use so many parentheses, it’s just because that’s how my brain works and makes it easier for you to keep track of important stuff. […]

My arrival

By Curtis | Published June 3, 2013

TSA pre-check is one of the greatest things ever, I highly recommend getting it if you fly even kind of often. The TSA agent told me, “all you have to do is not beep”. Just like the good old days. Once getting through security and enjoying my final dining experience of Burger King (yes, dining […]

Welcome to the Gaijin Chronicles!

By Curtis | Published May 26, 2013

Welcome to the Gaijin Chronicles (temporarily the Kentucky Chronicles). Throughout my stay in Japan this summer, this will be my blog. I considered doing a normal blog site, but those are too boring and I have a bunch of free time and knowledge. When the full website launches in one week, there will be even […]
