August kicks off summer party season, and we've got the info on this year's biggest events: the Thai-style Summer Poolside Party in Hakata on Aug.9, Isla de Salsa at Seaside Momochi on Aug.25 & 25, and Sunset Live at Itoshima on Sep. 6, 7 and 8! We check out a newly opened tsukemen noodle joint in Nishijin - perfect for a hot summer night, and this month's jointly written dodesho piece "Alien Asian" explores the complexities and frustrations of life as an Asian gaikokujin in Japan. Meanwhile, we're putting out the call for applicants for the next Gaikokujin Star Tanjo talent show - do you have what it takes?
