Asahi Weekly citation
Posted by ampontan on Monday, June 18, 2007
In Surf ‘N’ English, his regular column in the Asahi Weekly, James Watt offers three capsule profiles of foreign bloggers in Japan: Japan Probe, Gaijin Smash…and Ampontan!
Here’s the link to his Asahi article, which in turn contains links to the sites of the other two bloggers. And here’s the link to James’s own blog, Surfin’ English, which also has a lot of posts about space.
Here’s the best line from his column:
All of the bloggers here have a common belief: that Japan is not the country of tentacle-waving, war-criminal baseball players that the world thinks it is.
Amen!

I’m not sure how you feel about being listed as a blogger, but congrats anyway. Like the commenter above said, it’s well deserved.

Hey! I said he wasn’t a blogger!
I couldn’t very well call the article, “Expat Bloggers and Polemicists in Japan,” I have to fight for every word that goes into these articles.
