Without Borders: On being foreign

http://breezywithoutborders.blogspot.com/2010/05/on-being-foreign.html

Every day is a journey of epic proportions. Monday, May 10, 2010. In America, being foreign is status quo. Most, if not all, people hold their original roots overseas. In an idyllic, utopian sense, this is what America stands for—a free nation where people of any ethnicity can come and make a new home. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I'm an open book.

Without Borders: March 2010

http://breezywithoutborders.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html

Every day is a journey of epic proportions. Wednesday, March 31, 2010. What's up with the Japanese and Disney? People of all ages are more than eager to go to Tokyo Disneyland and Disney Sea. They love the characters, the rides, the cheesy themed hotels, and especially the parade. On select holidays such as Christmas or Halloween, there is always some kind of special event featuring Disney characters doing even more inanely childish things. Still, the question goes unanswered as to why Disney is king&#46...

Without Borders: November 2009

http://breezywithoutborders.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html

Every day is a journey of epic proportions. Thursday, November 26, 2009. Hostels exist all over the world, and were popularized in Europe for their affordability and acclaim among young twenty-something backpackers. But, after staying for a whirlwind visit of Seoul, Asia has proved a heavy contender for the quality of hostel experience. I guess it's Thanksgiving. Friday, November 20, 2009. Since Obama's inauguration, conservatives have been in a delicate mourning of Democratic victory. They, of cours...

Without Borders: September 2009

http://breezywithoutborders.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html

Every day is a journey of epic proportions. Wednesday, September 30, 2009. I try to be diligent about keeping up with U.S. news, but sometimes I'm glad to take a break from it. Recent headlines have had me thanking my adventurous inclination to leave all that ego behind. Kanye- forget about his music and look at him step over boundaries in attempt to.be an asshole? I'd understand sticking your neck out and making yourself look like an asshole if it was an award you'd been robbed of. And a VMA? But, look ...

Without Borders: May 2010

http://breezywithoutborders.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html

Every day is a journey of epic proportions. Monday, May 10, 2010. Somen noodles put this small island on the map-sort of. Consider it blasphemy for the Japanese to have their soul crop, rice, step out of the lime light. For just a moment, rice's estranged second cousin, somen, needs a few praises to be sung. Ingredients are first mixed and processed into a pasta paste that are then elongated several times by different machines. Once as thin as shoestring, they are hung on huge racks and must be separ...

Without Borders: kujira

http://breezywithoutborders.blogspot.com/2010/04/kujira.html

Every day is a journey of epic proportions. Thursday, April 22, 2010. The first taste of whale. An oily meat. Darker than expected and with little flavor other than a slight tang and chewy texture. Or is it such a strong bond that every essence of the whale needs to be loved. Of course, the rest of the world would disagree with the latter. But, the Japanese feature whale like an exoticism of a culture past that shouldn't be sent to sea. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I'm an open book. I Could Do That.

Without Borders: June 2009

http://breezywithoutborders.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html

Every day is a journey of epic proportions. Friday, June 26, 2009. The Other Snack Shop. There's no such thing as promiscuity, unless you're paying for it. Most men and women in Japan adhere to a committed relationship. I've been told this commitment is more of an ethereal value than it is a corporeal practice. . If her husband isn't home, I know exactly where he is: snack shop. This is a type of bar where the drinks are expensive and come with female companionship. And, I have the fortunate plea...Snack...

Without Borders: August 2009

http://breezywithoutborders.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html

Every day is a journey of epic proportions. Thursday, August 27, 2009. Dig Deep #10: Just like riding a bicycle. The keys are cold from recent neglect. I have thoughts swirling about and 10 days of travel to talk about. All I need is direction and a day off. A black and white I took while riding the train to Kobe. There is a not-s0-foreign foreigner in the foreground this time. Tokyo: The Final Frontier. Wakari Museum of Contemporary Art, Harajuku. BAPE, clothing store for kids, Harajuku. Asahi Corporati...

Without Borders: the Tokyo Complex

http://breezywithoutborders.blogspot.com/2010/04/tokyo-complex.html

Every day is a journey of epic proportions. Thursday, April 22, 2010. Many often feel that this metropolitan rat race is too hefty of a price to pay for a seeming lap of luxury. The convenience found in global cuisine and high powered jobs are more than willing to be traded for a more subdued lifestyle that adorns smaller cities with less international street cred.
