Hello, you guys know GUNDAM right? Some Japanese university kids made a real life video depicting themselves as GUNDAM (you know, the giant flying robots) for a school project back in 1991.

YouTube video links! I would be selfish not to share this with everyone. Japanese Toilet Pranks! Even if you can’t understand Japanese, this 7 minute video will be entertaining. Watch it to the end, I promise you won’t regret it. The toilet cost $50,000 USD to create (500万円). 8gNsDp2N6yM – Harvey

Time to move again! Bye-bye Dorm. This time it’s out of Osaka and back to Yokohama. Honestly, I like living in Kansai (West Japan) more than the Tokyo/Yokohama area… But the school I will be attending from September is one of a kind, and only available in Yokohama. 仕方ない。 Japan culture quiz time. What does [...]
