Guys and Gals of the Gaijin community,

I have started a new little project and would love to get feedback from the Daves community.

I have been in Japan for 8 months and came across sites like f*cked Gaijin and young dudes... these are discussion forums but as there names apply only allow a certain few people in a certain demographic the ability to post and or write with any degree of seriousness. I made a snazzy little site called "lost gaijin" as thats how i felt for a long time after I arived in Japan..hehehe LOST that is....

anyway, I would like to call for submissions regarding the following topics:

Travel
Law
Relationships
Other Professions
Teaching in Japan
How To's

I am working on my masters degree now and thats another main reason i built this site. I must be the worlds worst journalist as Im a comsci major and as I have finished building the IT end of the system, thought it best if now I take a back seat and let the actual gaijin community use and abuse it.

If u would like to help out on this little project and would like to moderate, become a story and or site admin, pls drop me an email or post here....or on my site.... http://www.lostgaijin.com also i have a blog www.its-my-life.net which u can read some of the stuff i have been upto... I kind feel guilty cuz its like im plugging my stuff, but in actual fact plzzz dont get me wrong, im asking for u guys to take something i built an IT backend for a run with it.... i get scored based on the overall site and hey, who better else to complete a little gaijin community than the actual gaijins that live in it. The site also has journal section so u can create a little mini blog if u want and soon will add a user gallery module. There is no advertising on this site at all and is totally run by little old me... anyway, more power to all of ya... Brandon...Smile Confused

I have no clue what you are talking about. I suppose I am a 'young dude'...but I still don't understand what sort of context you are placing that in. What is a F'd Gaijin, and what is a lost gaijin? The question is so vague, can you give us a little background about what being in each category entails?

I was harsh, sorry. Your website is like a forum. What are the intentions and goals of the website?

Rather than making us find and check out those other sites, you could perhaps make it easier for us to answer your survey by providing definitions of those different types of gaijins. Help us help you.

(like Nismo, I, too, have no clue what you mean)
