I want to know more about culturally relevant Japanese expressions and colloquialisms. One of my greatest regrets academic-wise remains not continuing to take Japanese in college and grad school after two years spent learning the language in high school.

It would also be great to learn about the development of some of the kanji that’s unique to Japan as opposed to China (my favorite part of class was always learning the writing system, which is just incredibly beautiful).

I guess this falls under Culture & History, but with more emphasis on the language itself. All I need every now and then is a nice, big picture of a character and a few lines of explanation on the side or beneath.

I loved shopping at Tokyu Hands–a variety of quality goods at reasonable prices. Could you please write about other discount department stores that you found interesting?

Also, it seems that I never quite understood the protocol for which side of the stairs/escalator that I was supposed to stand–left side for ascending? I would like to read about these subtle norms in Japan. Your article on how not to use chopsticks was great!
