    start. Check their web site: www.tokyoclassified.com, an excellent
    stash of old articles, Japanese celebrity profiles, cultural curiousities.
    A free monthly mag, JapanZine is a cheeky bit of insight into contem-
    porary culture as reported by underbelly-crawling Gaijin visitors.
    The monthly J@panInc magazine considers Japanese technology
    and business issues in English.
    From A.A. Gill an article entitled "Mad in Japan," Sunday Times, 9
    September 2001. It's a scathing writeup of modern Japan from
    someone wildly underinformed and deeply opinionated. Quite
    amusing and offensive! Search the web for it; it's out there.
    WebSites
    JapanToday.com is a good overview of recent news in Japan.
    "Gaijin In Japan" online forums, filled mostly by English teachers
    sharing wisdom and stories about life in Japan. There's some pretty
    tasty lowbrow stuff in here.
    Chanpon.org is a magazine and web community considering the mix
    of Japanese and foreign cultures. If you're interested in some
    intellectually stimulating contacts in Japan, you might find them in the
    Chanpon message boards.
    Ed Jacob's "Quirky Japan Homepage" defies stereotypes and con-
    ventions. Unusual and even unsettling information about this country
    jostles with genuinely helpful advice for residents and visitors.
    I have written about my time in Japan and supplemented it with
    photos. Long after this booklet is printed, this site should be up-
    dated: www.links.net/vita/trip/japan/tokyo/guide/
    Nearly all the statistics provided in this book come from the Japa-
    nese Government, provided online in the Statistical Handbook of
    Japan 2001: www.stat.go.jp/english/data/handbook/contents.htm
    with some initial guidance on statistics provided by Jonathan Watts
    of the Guardian UK.
