I just thought this might be interesting.
There is an american living in Tokyo who has been living there for just over three years
He's funny and well... lets say very opinionated.
He's been making many blog type videos which are very well edited.
If you have the time to check out his youtube videos give it a try,
His videos are under the name of Tokyocooney.
I loved his exploratory ventures with the shop that sold literally every flavour icecream...Squid mmmmm.
