If you can stand reading I urge you to do so. This guys experiences as a english teacher in japan are absolutely hillarious. Here's a quote from one editorial I just read for a teaser:

Quote:

One day I was in class with the big-headed boyfriend teacher. She was going around asking students some simple questions. She came to one of the soccer boys. "What do you do afterschool?" She asks. The boy stands up and exclaims "waist-shake!" while doing the pelvic thrust. She, of course, had no idea what this meant, but in her curiousity, she looked at me, and while imitating the pelvic thrust motion, asked "waist-shake"?

...I honestly don't know how long it took the soccer boys in that class to stop laughing. They may actually still be laughing about it now.

The teacher really wanted to know what was so funny, and I just didn't have the heart to tell her she'd just unknowingly propositioned me for sex.

Wait. So Japanese people don't go around with swords and magical powers and beat up people like anime tries to tell us?

But yes, thanks for posting this, it's nice to get a real outlook on what goes on over there.

I know plenty of what goes on over there as I lived there for over a year. :)

Alright, can someone explain this to me?

We're talking about an English teacher, who one day was in class with a "boyfriend teacher", an ambiguously vague term by itself, and this boyfriend teacher appears to be a she, as there's no other part of the former sentence the "She" could reference to (unless the person speaks of themselves in third form...which is just sad and makes the paragraph even more non-sensical).

Maybe I don't know English well enough, but this seems wrong.
And this person educates the students of Japan in English?
I can see it now, they'll come to the USA on a trip and speak like Yoda.

If you actually read his editorials gravitron everything is explained. The "big-headed boyfriend teacher" he explains earlier on. They go out to eat and she talks to him in all seriousness telling him that there's no way she could marry her boyfriend because his head is too big. So, he came up with that nick name for her (it's how he remembers people since he's bad with names).

And, he also mentions that yes he does have spelling and/or grammar mistakes on here. However, this is an online account of what he does not a novel. He just types it up in notepad and posts it on his website without spell checking it. Honestly, he shouldn't have to have perfect spelling/grammar when he's writing about himself. People choose to read it. He doesn't go out trying to submit his site to search engines or post links everywhere getting them to go read it.

So, inorder to remember a female, he dubbed her with a musculine tag?

This person is the epitome of rational. He should write nuclear ICBM launch sequence algorithms.

Why are they stupid? Just because your brain isn't big enough to hold your thoughts and such.
