Save for those gory World War II memoirs, we Filipinos have very high respect for the Japs, notably in the field of technological advancement. While the whole country was in awe watching the first-ever live black and white TV broadcast during the Apollo 11 moon landing in 1969, our bow-legged neighbors up-north were already busy developing the first commercial, high-definition television. This and other fascinating facts made Japan, the Mecca of technology and the "geekdom" for all geeks.

And though they're dubbed as technology world champs, Japanese have their own Achilles heel that Pinoys always make fun of when watching noisy Japanese. Not that we’re implying anything here, we’re just reiterating what this month’s 100% FHM Hottie Shanella Strauss has shared with us. The Viva Hot Babe giggles, “Based on experience, totoo. Ha ha ha! Pero may mga exception to the rule. Kaya lang, majority, maliit talaga,“ shares Shanella, who decided to stay away from the limelight to go to Japan to model. Again, we’re not hinting at anything; interpretation is up to you, our dear readers. Nonetheless, Shanella shares some tips to compensate for, uhm, lack of skills in the bedroom.

Welcome back and bon voyage as well, we heard you just came back from Japan and leaving in less thank two weeks!
Yes! I’ll be leaving in a week or two. I'm really enjoying my work in Japan as a model. Mas madali kasi ang buhay doon kaysa dito sa Pilipinas. I'm back here just to get some rest while I wait for my working visa.

Are they good lovers like their Pinoy counterparts?
Masarap magmahal ang mga Hapon. They're very sweet and they treat you like a princess. They pamper you by giving you material things like jewelry. Kaya lang madami silang binibigyan. Ha ha ha. Some of the guys I met are really womanizers. And they admit it. Pag tinanong mo kung anong priority nila sa buhay sasabihin sa ‘yo, first is work, second yung family nila and then third yung kabit. Ha ha ha.
