Here are some more interesting links around the English/Japanese bloggosphere. Most of the links I try to get are to help better understand the culture in Japan as understanding the culture is a good way to understand the language. I only make these posts when I find 20 links I think are more interesting than others.

This time around I want to make a special thanks to The Nihon Sun and Turning-Iwatean. You all are making some great culture posts, so many in fact I can’t post them all.
