Space Monkey Punks from Japan

Just a lowly PhD candidate, studying and living in Japan for the foreseeable future. This blog is mostly for sharing my personal experiences with my friends, but there will probably end up being lots of cultural lessons on Japan/studying abroad/etc etc. The name comes from the Zilch song "Space Monkey Punks (from Japan)". My personal tumblr Butterfly Tamer (my faeries/spiritual/tarot related tumblr)
