So I went to the Asian food store today to get some fun food. Here is what I got :) Hot curry mix (my favorite), Noodle soup base and Soba noodles (for a delicious treat), and Men's Pocky? what? Now don't get me wrong the pocky is delicious but I don't understand. There is no women's pocky that I know of. It's dark chocolate so is that a literal translation of what dark chocolate is in Japanese? Anyone know what this is all about?

Hey John. Nice blog. I think the dark chocolate Pocky are called Men's because dark chocolate is more bitter. That's my assumption, and it makes sense to me. Ya know, men might prefer beer and women might prefer something sweeter like a cocktail. Something along those lines...
Also, good luck setting aside time to prepare for the JET program. I did the same thing, took Japanese, got certified in TESOL, etc. I actually just started a blog that's startlingly similar to yours. My application is already in for 2009, and I'm trying to document it all. Keep posting and I'll keep reading.
