Biography: The rumors are true; I'm the one who put JapanSoc together. Like a Japanese politician, I accept bribes. I will exchange votes for Mars bars and baked beans. If you'd like to compare your gaijiness with me, I've been in Japan for over 10 years, did the outrageous act of marrying a Japanese national, bought a second-hand house that's supposed to fall down in the next 15 years, and became a dad. I'm British but have very little interest in my "home" country. When I'm really old, I'll probably apply for Japanese citizenship... just for the fun of saying I'm Japanese. My motto is "I love everything good about Japan!"
Interests: Everything frowned upon by the masses.

    Posted by Nick Ramsay on 9 October 2008
    I’ve only been with Bluehost for about 7 months, and for the most part, I’ve been very happy with the speed and service they offer. However, recently, as many of you are aware, all my websites have been shut down for 5-10 minutes, multiple times a day for exceeding the CPU limits. I̵...[Read More]
    Suitopia in Konan City
    Posted by Nick Ramsay on 8 October 2008
    Three times a week, when Mami goes to her part-time job, I watch over Rikuto. Now, I know our 1-year-old son would be quite happy to watch YouTube all day, but that’s not going to happen. Instead, I try to take him to some of the sightseeing places around town. We’ve already done a lot [...[Read More]

    Children, On Sale!
    Posted by Nick Ramsay on 4 October 2008
    I recently asked my parents to dig out my birth certificate because I need it to get Rikuto his own British birth certificate. When my mum emailed me to say she found it, I started to reply…”Thanks mum! There aren’t any surprises, are there? I’m not adopted from a small Afric...[Read More]
    Kakamigahara Aerospace Museum
    Posted by Nick Ramsay on 3 October 2008
    Rather than sit in front of the TV all day while keeping an eye on Rikuto, I decided to take him to the Kakamigahara Aerospace museum instead. Kakamigahara is home to the Gifu Self-Defense Force Air Base and the Kawasaki Aerospace Division, so perhaps to make up for the noise of fighter jets flying ...[Read More]
