I also wrote the story several times about the Japanese girl (fairly cute and sexy) ran away from home in Japan and when she got to the U.S. she had only a few dollars in her pocket.

Although it is my understanding the Japanese were diligent about saving which contributed immensely to the contraction of the currency supply leading to the marked deflation that occurred. 

Granted, it was a cheaper Chinese unit (Tosot) instead of a higher priced Japanese brand.

That bull has been drilled into you and, honestly, the whole white privelege concept brings down more black people than actual racism (which exists, but I find exists with all people...like my husband's Japanese friends don't trust his Chinese friends).

We also liked Wagamama, a Japanese place, just down the street.

I wonder if there is a way to translate my Japanese credit history over to the US somehow.My dad has a good US credit history and I'm going to look into having him cosign a loan as a fallback option, but if possible I'd like to avoid asking loved ones to take on risk on my behalf.I could open up a bank account and take the time to build credit, but that sounds like a very expensive option.

I wish i could remove it and plant a Japanese Maple tree but i'm in no position to do this.
