First revisions for the website are now in the works. Should be done by end of the week. I’m excited to see what kind of website this will become.

Just to fill up a VW Jetta with regular gas?

Yeah, I will never own a car again once I get back to Japan next month. I’m over this.

Simple Gaijin is getting a new website!

I am pleased to announce that I will be working with 10Com Web Development to nuke the old Simple Gaijin site and completely revamp and develop a brand new website. The launch date of the site is still TBD, but we will (most likely) launch the site prior to our departure to Japan this October.

That said, I would like to ask my fans here a question. If you are looking for a website to learn Japanese from, what sort of features would you be looking for on the site? I am open to suggestions and anything that can help you learn Japanese quickly.

Hard to imagine we got engaged 8 years ago today. Covid had other ideas to try and stop our engagement. Then came the Biden Administration dragging their ass on getting her over here. And finally, this current environment here in America made us both realize that it is Japan where we really belong.

And yet… here we are, getting ready to emigrate back to Japan in almost less than a month.

This was a victory made in love.

Love you Ayaka! Let’s go home… our real home.

United Airlines to now offer routes to Kansai International from Los Angeles and to Naha International from San Francisco, starting from March 2027!

As tourism booms across Japan, United Airlines is continuing to expand its offerings to the country, with new routes planned for Okinawa and Osaka.
