Biography: I am an English Teacher and aspiring writer living in Tokyo. I left my American home and have no real desire to go back(if you knew what America is like these days you would understand why). I have a taste for vice and a lust for life. I am a man of liberty and a sucker for a good time. I was born and raised in the south. I proudly wear my culture and background on my sleeve in the land of the raising sun.

I took the gal out this Friday for a little fun. I decided to meet up with her at Ikebukuro after she got off work. I took her to several places and she had a good time.

Hanayashiki Theme park in Ikebukuro--Get Some Old School Action
Posted by TheGhost on 5 October 2008
I always expect the unexpected in Tokyo. Sadly, I learned that lesson the hard way. I am the kind of person who learns his lessons well.

Yes friends, I am talking about the one and only Moonpie! I know what a lot of you must be thinking, `How does such a redneck ...[Read More]
Japan tries the McRib
Posted by TheGhost on 2 October 2008
I remember growing up with the idea that the best fast ever created by man was the McRib. All other fast food meals just cannot live up to the taste and legend of the McRib. Usually in the states, the McRib is offered about once or twice a year. Everyone looks forward to McRib time at McDonald`s. I...[Read More]
