Other than PayPal and Gcash, the only other option I know of how you can send my wife and I a gift is through Western Union. There is a local Western Union office in town and I have received a gift through it. All you need to give them is is my name, James Andrew Arendt, and that I live in the Philippines. After that, please send me a photo of the transaction receipt to the above email address so I can show the tracking number and your name and amount of money to the Western Union lady. Thank you!
The Rapid Growth of Bamboo
My old website at kt70.com~jamesjpn is no longer on line. I am therefore posting some of the articles from it to this website. On May 16, 2008 I saw two young bamboo shoots about 3 feet high growing next to my house. I knew because of their thickness they would taller than me in just a matter of days. And so I thought it would be a fun project to … Continue reading →

With another man also hitchhiking! His partner with him took the photo. Due to popular request I have complied a list of tips and lessons I learned over the past several years hitchhiking in Japan.

Continue reading →Adventures in Estonia
In the summer of 1997 I needed to leave Russia and St. Petersburg for a visa renewal trip. Rather than make another visa trip to Helsinki in Finland, I opted for neighboring Estonia instead. As you can see on the map below, the distance from St. Petersburg to the Estonian capital city of Tallinn is not much different than from St. Petersburg to Helsinki, Finland. And as you see from … Continue reading →

Adventures in St. Petersburg, Russia
I lived in St. Petersburg, Russia, from August of 1994 to October of 1997. It was known as Leningrad during the time of the Soviet Union. Many people who don’t live in St. Petersburg still call it Leningrad! At least they did during my stay in Russia. But I don’t remember a resident of St. Petersburg refer to it by the Soviet name. They are proud of their pre-Soviet history … Continue reading →

Some of the topics: The complexity of living systems The testimony embedded within the fossil record The historical and cultural proofs of man and dinosaurs as being contemporaries The fallacies inherent in the interpretation of radiometric dating The complete shambles of … Continue reading →
A Honest Evaluation of President Elect Trump
By Susan Weeks Yes, I am glad that Hillary was not elected. And yes, I will pray for Trump. But if you think He was put in the presidency because He has God’s FAVOR, then I think you don’t know much about him. Trump was not an unknown or a nobody. He was not ‘Joe Plumber’ before he ran for president. He was a very wealthy, connected man. He was … Continue reading →
Witnessing to Two Young Female Mormon Missionaries
On November 5, 2016, I boarded a train in Aomori City on my way to Misawa. There were two Caucasian looking young ladies sitting in the train car. I sat down next to them and asked where they are from. If I was in a metropolitan area like Tokyo, I probably wouldn’t have talked to them because foreigners abound and I’m naturally shy. But now I was deep in the … Continue reading →
