@NathenAmin Born and raised in England, he’s English.

While everyone rabidly debating online whether Aaron Rai is English or not, that guy knows who he is, where he's from, is happily married, living his dream, has just won $4m and achieved something very, very rare. Keep swinging, king 🏌🏾.

@TGTM_Official My insta is full of ads for Chinese hookers.

Zero poverty! Prostitution is illegal!” Yet millions of women sell sex in KTVs, massage parlors & hotels daily — because the “Chinese Dream” never reached them. They do it even online on foreign medias too! Banned on paper. Booming underground. Is this real victory over poverty… or just hidden desperation? Drop your thoughts. Have you seen it? 👇

@Japanese__yuki Sadly, this only helps if you can read Japanese🤣

Japanese learners often overuse ください. Not wrong — but these sound more natural in real life 👇

@Learn_Genius @UnexpectedVidzz It’s broken. Can’t be used(no sensible person would use it). More than cracked, more than damaged, but not shattered.

Only sharp eyes can get this right

@JapaneseFbl Bugger! Not bigger, bloody autocorrect.

@JapaneseFbl Bigger, got a Japanese shirt with his name on🤣

🇯🇵🚨 Kaoru Mitoma does NOT make the Japan World Cup squad following his hamstring injury against Wolves. Huge loss.

Anyone else give absolutely zero fucks about what clothing brand a golfer is wearing?

@nabiruworks You’ll love it.

First time Taipei here we gooooo

One of the best things about leaving the mainland for a few days is only needing to look one way before crossing a one-way street.

@GundamNorthrop Even Chinese police vehicles are still Japanese petrol cars.

Because even the communist chinese president knows they can never trust their own chinese-made eplosive EV, not even their state chosen brand Hongqi who also makes EVs.

@harukaawake Their restaurant tissues. That’s my only complaint. Far too thin.

🇯🇵 What's one thing you -don't- like about Japan?

Anyone else suffer from reader’s elbow?

@jenniferzeng97 Watching me take a dump in a squat toilet is not a pretty sight.

The detention center I experienced was basically like this. At the other end of this large “board” was a squat toilet, and opposite the toilet was a sink. There was only a transparent glass partition between the squat toilet and this large board. So your entire trip to the squat toilet took place right in front of everyone’s eyes.

@Rugby_Scoop Love it. No different from MMA.

Can’t believe this is still a thing after so many incidents over the past couple of years. Now they even have production crew for this madness

@TGTM_Official Still rampant in big cities, too.

One country claims prostitution was wiped out decades ago… but its urban villages are flooded with cheap hookers serving millions of desperate migrant men every night. The economic miracle’s dirty secret.

@FeelYouHappy Zero, that kid is chill as fuck.

What's the probability that this boy will seek out a psychologist when he's an adult?

@bielbiey Love Keigo Higashino, currently working my way through his books. You should check out Kotaro Isaka’s work, too.

Whose are your favorite authors? You can see it, in my stack of books

@tanpukunokami When I’m with my Japanese friends in Japan, we just say ‘azas’ to each other.

You probably learned that "thank you" in Japanese is arigatou gozaimasu. There are 5 levels. Pick the wrong one, and you'll sound rude, weirdly formal, or like you're trying way too hard. Here's how it works. Level 1 — Doumo (どうも) You drop coins on the counter at 7-Eleven. The clerk hands you the receipt. You say doumo. That's it. "Got it. Thanks." Almost no weight. Level 2 — Arigatou (ありがとう) Your friend hands you a beer. You say arigatou. Same energy as "thanks, man." Level 3 — Arigatou gozaimasu (ありがとうございます) A stranger holds the elevator for you. You say arigatou gozaimasu. Polite. Respectful. Neutral. The safest default in Japanese society. Level 4 — Arigatou gozaimashita (ありがとうございました) You finish dinner. As you leave, the staff bows and says arigatou gozaimashita. Past tense. Built into the word: "This is over, and we are grateful for it." Level 5 — Makoto ni arigatou gozaimasu (誠にありがとうございます) A CEO opens his speech at the company's 50th anniversary. Makoto ni arigatou gozaimasu. "Truly, thank you." Used when gratitude has public, formal weight. That's the 5. Beyond them, there's osoreirimasu (恐れ入ります). A thank-you mixed with apology. Used when someone goes out of their way for you, and your gratitude carries: "I'm sorry I made you do that." Five levels. One word, arigatou, branching into five different shades. Each level says something the words themselves don't. Who you are. Who they are. What just happened. Next time someone in Japan thanks you, listen to which level they used. That's where the real message is.

@sharrond62 We came in when dad whistled. Like we were dogs🤣

I feel so lucky to have grown up when we came in when the street lights went on.
