Blogs and video about my life in Tokyo. I've been here 6 years and counting. Though I whinge a lot, I love this city and Japanese culture.

I also have an audio/text blog on my webpage TokyoCooney.com where I post opinion pieces on different aspects of life for foreigners in Tokyo.

To answer your questions I have a FAQ, please read this and watch my FYI videos before mailing me. My response time to e-mail is very long. Apologies.

Life in Tokyo 60 Videos
This is a series of videos explaining my life in Tokyo and various aspects of life in Japan I find interesting.
F.Y.I. Tokyo 6 Videos
These are mostly informational videos to explain more complex topics for those interested in visiting or moving to Japan.
The videos here represent my attempts at english language comedy. As well as some videos I made while doing shows on the road. Its a strange thing doing comedy in a foreign land. Also, it means alot of the humour is meant for those who have lived or at least traveled here.
