Hello all,
I'm a bit new around here, but not to Japan. I've lived here in the beautiful and exotic city of Nagoya for a bit over 7 years living off the fat of the land. Well, not so much the fat of the land, but I'm getting pretty fat. Not by American standards, of course, but kids will tell me 'Hey, why's your belly sticking out so far?' How am I supposed to answer that?
Anyway, I'm not fat. I'm just big ... bellied.
