So this is it. I've officially been here for two years. Woot.
During that time, my world has shook, both figuratively and literally. But let's not dwell on the past. Let's move forward. Ekimasu!
Have you ever heard of the LBH's? Probably not. It's an acronym that's only known to a very select group of individuals over here. Try and guess what it stands for- Don't Google it! Here, I'll give you a hint;
Still nothing? Alright...
It (apparently) stands for Losers Back Home. Now, I know this is kind of cruel, but I've heard it said on several occasions. Usually paired with "I can't believe that guy is dating (JAPANESE SMOKING HOT LADY-FOX). She's way out of his league. He's probably a LBH."
The first couple times I heard this acronym spoken out loud, I just assumed it was a bad joke. But, after the third or fourth time, I started asking questions. And it's apparently kind of a big deal.

| "When in Rome." |
It turns out that the fantasy is
kind of true. Yes, you can move to Japan and find a smoking hot Japanese wife who is way out of your league. Let the games begin!
