> japan's a weirdly backward nation. that can be either a good thing or a bad thing depending on the situation. japan is easily the most illogical country i've ever been in, and its people the most lacking in common sense. as much as i admired some aspects of japan, i realized that i could never live there. for better or worse, i'm an american--outspoken, distrustful of any authority that isn't earned, adamantly insisting on reason and transparency. my family helped found the united states, fought in the revolution, and tried to start a second american revolution during the gilded age of the robber barons. it's bred in my bones and i cannot be anything else.
