Nice post…I wish to go to Japan someday…I heard that foods are high prices in Japan. So I think the Top Tips and Tricks from NihonHacks will be very useful. Thanks for sharing.

The “Mother of all Hacker Blogs” LifeHacker is one of my all time favorites and I just got a good idea off it yesterday. I have not given nihonhacks the full look over but plan to soon!

Gah! I’m the only married blogger in this country without a kid! Time to take pictures of other people’s children and brag, me thinks

Seriously, though, I’m also a regular reader of Thomas’ site and have learned a thing or two about life in this great country. It’s a must-read for anyone that’s planning to stay in Japan longer than an hour. One article I would like to see, though, is how to keep earned money away from the wife. It’s really hard to make some extra coin to buy her a gift if she sees my pay stub and asks why I’m withdrawing so much money from my personal account

Perhaps that’d be just a bit too off-topic for NihonHacks … is there a MarriageHacks.com? Hehehe.

Thanks for the review, although I have to point out that the UFO Catcher article is really just a copy/link-to an article written by the people at tofugu.com.

Funny that you mention it, but I always show my wife the pictures/videos of Rikuto that you post online too.
