This was news to me: windowless office buildings are starting to appear in Japan. Apparently, productivity is up because folks are not staring out the window at cute dogs or nice legs or sweet sweet sunshine…

Guess I’m just getting started locating interesting blogs on Japan. Expect more to follow.
Called An Eternal Thought in the Mind of Godzilla this blog is maintained by pop culture writer on Japan. His books include: Fresh Pulp: Dispatches from the Japanese Culture Front; Japan Edge: The Insider’s Guige to Japanese Subculture; and a yet to be released book entitled Otaku in USA.
This blog coversbasic Japanese words or phrases. But it introduces the concepts and cultural contexts behind them. This makes it suitable for the lingo-beginner OR the culture-intermediate.
