Wow, I thought you’d been up longer, this site is so well-established. How do you manage to post so often? What’s your daily visit count?

-My work gives me many hours of downtime a day, and when I get home I often spend some time posting updates. This site is my hobby, and I am horribly addicted to it.

Well, it’s impressive. 3,000 hits today. I’m barely averaging thirty. Remind me to be more politically-minded. What is your job?

I’m an ALT, although I’ll probably be moving on to something else in April.

Happy Birthday Japan Probe!

Thanks for a year’s worth of links and traffic – you’re consistently my top referrer for taffic, and if I ever make it up to Saitama, I’m sure you owe me a beer or two for DJ Ozma and Koda Kumi!

Those will have to be premium beers.

I have to say thanks for the news links everyday, it saves me from scanning all the papers everyday–time I don’t have. It seems like hard work and I have no clue how you find the time.

I’ve wondered about newspaper reading habits of yourself and the Japan Probe readership as a whole. Do you get a paper daily (by delivery or at a newsstand) and if so what paper? Personally, I get the IHT delivered every day.

When I lived in America, I was a subscriber to the Washington Post. I don’t actually subscribe to any paper newspapers here, all of my news reading is digital. I’ve got several online newspapers and news sites that I check daily.

Coincidentally, my birthday was yesterday! I suppose it’ll be two days ago for you people in Japan. I found this website by chance, scrounging around digg’s “Upcoming Stories” link. I don’t remember the story, but I was hooked on the blog after going through the archives.

Happy Birthday, Japan Probe, here’s to many more, for the both of us!

Happy Birthday to Japan Probe! Thoroughly enjoyed reading your posts for the last year.
Here’s to many more!

Only one year? Not bad at all. Quite the great site, especially the news posts. Also, I am amusing that my birthday is the same as the site’s. There’s a special connection between us, see.
