The idea bodybuilders are dumb, arrogant, stuck on themsevles, come from alot of views said here, so don’t act so surprised. People only know outward actions and words. The only way this prejudice will be altered is the “fitness crew” changing their actions. Most of this prejudice is justified, but it can be proven wrong.

Sorry this is late; I’ve been busy lately! To c.l.: Basically I don’t have any set criteria for who I employ. But the ideal teacher is one who has experience, a background in linguistics, has learned another language himself (preferably Japanese, in this case) and has that ineffable “something” that makes him or her able to communicate well with the students. I always hire people who are already in Japan and have some length of experience in the country, because I find that the usual gaijin has so much culture shock at first that it impacts their job performance. So I like to have some assurance that they’re adjusted to the lifestyle here.

To David: There are actually two good gyms here in Hiroshima, one of which is the one I go to. It's small, but run by a former all-Japan natural BB champion (hence the name, "Champ's") and has absolutely everything that anyone could reasonably want. Leave it to the Japanese to figure out how to cram $500,000 worth of equipment into a space the size of about two college dorm rooms and make it all work... Out in Mie...yeah, that must have been slim pickins. But I've heard the Gold's in Tokyo is nice. Let me know if you ever get down this way...

Senior Network Engineer.

I have three college degrees, and work two jobs. One job is as a nonviolence educator working with abusive families. Another is a mental health therapist with teens who have been abused or become addicted. Also, in my spare time I draw a G-rated comic strip that doesn’t earn a damned penny.

A Private Investigator in Los Angeles. I mostly work on Workers’ Compensation fraud cases. Not as glamorous as most think.

Right now I’m trying to get into Probate Real estate investing.

I’m a first year law student at Pepperdine University in Malibu, CA.
