Learn Japanese Today

Alright loyal readers, I have some big news for you. Your boy Todd is taking a trip to America’s next best thing to the land of the rising sun, San Francisco. I’m taking a much needed break from freelance writing and reporting and I’m going to actually have some real summer.

You know, tossing a frisbee on the beach, catching some waves, and of course, seeing all the best Japanese stuff the Golden Gate city has to offer. Now I’m not stupid, I know the influence in San Francisco is predominately Chinese and Seattle is a much better place to visit for Japanese culture, but San Fran just has to be better than Chicago, and I aim to prove it.

You should all feel proud of yourselves. I’m taking a vacation, but I’m taking you with me. And there will be pictures.

But.

I need your help. The last time I was in San Francisco I was 7 years old, and I barely remember it. Does anyone know any cool Japan-related stuff I should check out there? I’d love to do a field report.

Let me know.
