Why I Like Japan

This is my response to Tokyo Sam's vid on "Why do you like Japan?"

Basically three reasons:
*History
*Festivals
*Culture

Plus I also like the food, hot sake, and cold Sapporo beer.

When I first came to Japaan, I didn't have the economic security to spend much time getting around or getting into the culture. I slowly came to acquire a love of Japan rather than coming over here head-over-heels with Japan to begin with.

On my trials and turbulations during my first year, check out my Ronin Teacher Saga:

Background music by Super Girl Juice. I meet them in Tokyo and bought their CD last year.

Lol "study", "samurai", "historian". He is just another lazy parasite from hamburgerland.

@celboss your comment doesn't make a lot of sense but I assume that is probably normal for you

[smacl61]

Forget history. Japan is worth pursuing just for it's vastness and interesting culture.

[RoninDave]

@smacl61 history and culture are intertwined. Most of the festivals I go to feature depictions of historical people and events

beer is not cheap in Japan and neither are Doritoes.  You could eat buckets of rice for that money. What a drunken lying douche,

[RoninDave]

@Swagsloth bag of doritos = 100 yen Hoppo-shu = 120 Yen. For Japan and our budgets that was cheap. Can't believe you got bent out of shape over that to call me a drunken lying douche. What a silly douche you are!

The war criminals of A class were executed for the crime against peace and humanity, which is bull shit, because the generals and soldiers of the Allies did the same things to us. And the crime of A class had not been defined before the war was brought about. The Tokyo Tribunal was a fraud, nothing but a brutal retaliation ceremony under the facade of justice. America won the war with illegal means, indiscriminate nuclear attacks against uncountable non-combatants, so there will be judgment.

@tomlovegod , you are totally ignorant. Japanese govt and people including Emperor officially apologized more than 30 times for war crimes during ww2, but the media has never shown it to the world. And I have never heard that the US apologized for the mass murder in Iraq, Vietnam, Cambodia, and in Japan, where the Americans killed more than 500 thousand non-combatants through the atomic and incendiary bombs. The spirits shrined at Yasukuni are not evil. Research well on them.
