Japanese ( The real Japanese you were never Taught in school) Za

It is a funny collection of stories about some foreigners in Japan, Kenny is an American English Teacher, Nigel is a British news writer, and Sharon is an Australian hostess. In Japan, they are simply gaijin. Taro is a Japanese-American who is gaijin as well, but he doesn't look like the others, so he is never called gaijin. I have lived in Japan for about 3 years, and I can say that there are many similar stories that happen in Japan every day. I have read this book twice, and these stories made me laugh too much.
However, many of the terms used in this book are outdated and the dialect used is "adequate" only in Tokyo, and truly obscene.
A Japanese friend who is from Hokkaido and lives in Nagoya doesn't understand some of the words used in this book.
As I have said, this book actually doesn't improve your vocabulary, unless you want to be a Yakuza in Tokyo, but as other reviewer said maybe it encourage yourself to learn more Japanese because it presents many truly stories that happen even today.
They are 12 stories:
-Alien Invaders.
-The ABC's of Japanese.
-Street Jive.
-Waiting at Hachiko.
-Talking about people.
-The gay life.
-Hookers and Gangsters.
-Disco City.
-Foreign Drinking Holes.
-After Hours.
-Romance and Low life.
-Talking about Sex.
