Nemuro: The Japanese Port Living in the Shadow of a Disputed Past
On a clear morning in Nemuro, the disputed islands can appear faintly beyond the water. The view is part of everyday life in this remote fishing town at the eastern edge of Hokkaido. Nemuro has about 22,000 residents, roughly half the population it had at its peak in the 1960s. Its winters are long and cold. Red spiny king crabs are stacked around the harbor. Fading signs in Japanese, Russian and English hang near the docks. On some days, when the air is clear, the islands claimed by both Japan and Russia can be seen in the distance.

World Cup Travelers Have a New Appreciation for American Culture
As someone who has little to no interest in sports, my favorite part of the World Cup hasn’t been the matches, it has been the overwhelming amount of videos that I am seeing of people enjoying America. Specifically, my TikTok feed has been flooded with international visitors experiencing day-to-day American life for the very first time. There are so many baseline attributes of our culture that we completely take for granted, and it is incredibly lovely to see newcomers having such a wonderful time. This is a collection of TikToks that have come across my feed of some prominent categories of things that have been popular.

Fun Times at Globe Life Field: Part 2
Last month, I took a trip to my hometown of Arlington, Texas. It was the first time in nearly 15 years I've been back to the place that I grew up. During the two days I was there, I did some sight-seeing and was highly impressed with how much has changed the last time I was there, which was 2011. On the last day of my trip, I took part in a premium stadium tour at Globe Life Field, the home of the Texas Rangers. It was my first time there and was with a small group of people on the tour. I've discussed the things I've seen during the hour and a half tour in my previous story, which you can read down below. After the tour concluded, I went outside and took even more snapshots. I'll go over some of the images, individually and in collage form.
