I was talking to this girl who I found interesting and she mentions that she really likes the new seasons of The Simpson’s and Family Guy. I told her I also like the shows but only the earlier seasons, to which she said she’s never watch them because she thinks they were boring.
I had a Seinfeld moment and suddenly my mind was simply occupied with “boring? BORING??” And thinking about what kind of person finds modern simpsons entertaining
Makes sense, thank you. Gotta say there are cheaper places than Japan to get your rocks off though.
On the bright side, Japan (even Tokyo) is not as ridiculously expensive as its made out go be. Especially true if you're coming from NYC/London/Vancouver, etc. A small private studio in Tokyo can be rented for about US$800 a month, which is not exactly outrageous by comparison to other world cities.
As for getting their rocks off, one Brit I talked to who "moved for the culture" told me after a few beers that he decided to come to Japan because the women in Thailand and the Philippines were "too brown". There's also a contingent of chuds who think Japan is their perfect right wing ethnostate and came because of that. It's so bad that one of my good friends who lives there (white, male, American) keeps telling me stories about other white dudes who think my mate is "one of them" and start spouting off actual Nazi shit.
