Those who enjoyed the previous post will likely enjoy this as well. You Know You’ve Been in Japan too Long… by Bill Mutranowski.
You Know You’ve Been in Japan too Long…
And here is another unpublished list of “You know you’ve been in Japan Too Long When…” jokes from a Western perspective.
A few gems…
- you no longer pay any attention to what anyone does when you sit down beside them on a train.
- when you accompany your “no” by the famous waving hand-in-front-of-nose.
- you find yourself bowing while you talk on the phone.
And there are plenty more where that came from…

Eating ice cream with natto is a beautiful way to eat natto. The only way, in my book.

That link made me laugh and cry at the same time.
So awesome.
I can’t wait til I’m back in Japan.
I was only there for 8 months, but it seems like I lived there for years.
I’ve only been gone for 3 weeks and I miss it!
