yinamotoさん always has interesting posts about Japanese culture and Japanese humor. Since I plan to one day work in Japan, it's nice that I can learn about some of the culture from his journal entries. He also is very understanding in his corrections and will offer alternatives to sound more natural after correcting your sentences as they were.
