Half Seriousness: Blabbing about life in Japan (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798271355387)

A more or less humorous, irreverent, and (hopefully) entertaining collection of essays, mostly related to life in Japan. The perspective: a Japanese descendant blue collar worker in his forties, talking about himself, Japan, and some random stuff. The book is divided in four thematic sections:

• People: locals, foreigners, the author, and some other folks.
• Living in Japan: installing yourself in the country.
• Miscellaneous topics around Japan.
• Author's personal experiences.

In each section, there's an additional space called "kyukei" (break time), which is the mentioned "random stuff".
