To Do List
I’m making a check list of things I’d like to do/see in Japan. I’m always open for suggestions–just email me or Facebook me or Skype me or just say it to my face (if you happen to be in Japan). If you can think of any myths/urban legends that you’ve heard (i.e. everyone in Japan has a mech, you can buy porn from vending machines, etc), hit me up with your questions and I will Myth Buster that shit.
