[solemn linden]

🤣 im definitely the weird breed here, i dont drink and wake up super early.

[rancid heron]

I wake up early for work back home enough 🤧

[winged current]

I typically do that too

I don't drink unless its for work

and I typically wake up quite early and go out and do some stuff

or sometimes just wait till like 10-11 if I want to sleep in

I got back to my hotel at like 5 PM today and decided I just want to chill

Maybe I'll go out later, not sure

[solemn linden]

ey LESGO early bird club

[rancid heron]

Today was def a stay in and do laundry day

Way too hot

[winged current]

Yeah I can't stand the taste of beer or cheap alcohol

I'm a sleepy drunk, so I'm boring to be around if I am drunk. I also don't like to drink to get drunk.

If I have to drink for work, I'm usually nursing a really nice scotch or whisky

[solemn linden]

i went to museum most of the day today

played piano on top of the tokyo metro buildin

too hot for sure

[winged current]

Really now?

When?

[solemn linden]

i was in the building around 10AM

[winged current]

Ahh okay

[solemn linden]

thats when they opened the piano stand

[winged current]

I was there at 3 PM

I thought maybe I heard you play

[solemn linden]

ye it was the second thing after my meiji jingu trip

🤣 pressure was for real so many ppl come to hear u play, i fucked up a lot and forgot a lot notes but ppl were nice

and a random kid told me im a genius lmao

then another kid said this is boring im out

[winged current]

lol

Yeah I don't think I'm probably going to head out tonight. I got a work function in the afternoon tmw, so I may just rest up a bit

or at least just stay in my area

Not wanting to travel to Shibuya or elsewhere lol

[twilit quail]

They just let people play it?

[shadow blade]

I may also go at Saitama tomorrow for the flowers and the bonzai village.

[winged current]

Yes

[pallid hazel]

30 / M / USA, software entrepreneur. Gonna grab dinner or snacks and then go chill at a bar somewhere near me if anyone interested. Hatsudai/Shinjuku

[tawny narwhal]

Mood

[twilit quail]

Considering kfc or domino's if you wanna come and experience japans version of one of them

Thinking kfc cuz of price tho

[sleek dust]

What about soba

¥500 for a filling meal

[twilit quail]

Could also do that

[sleek dust]

Last night in Japan right?

You can get KFC in Dublin

[round ether]

Hi all in Tokyo right now until Oct 5! 29M from Los Angeles!

[solemn linden]

i just kept using fried chiki from 7-11

ate 3 of them today cant stop wont stop

[twilit quail]

Fast food here tastes so dif tho

Idk. I got 15 min to decide

[solemn linden]

jiro ramen for less than 10 bucks

mountains of cabaage with pork fat dripped on top and bunch of chashu

[sleek dust]

Yessssss

Obviously I went less veg. But opted for extra garlic to make up for it

[twilit quail]

@pallid hazel you about?

Actually if anyone's in shinjuku this evening at all, I'd be down for having a drink.

Meet some new people on my last night before its back to being a recluse at home ;;

[sleek dust]

What happened to yakiniku?

[twilit quail]

Price of places was too much for what I could budget.

I've ended up having to dip into my house savings a bit @_@"

(Tho I'm also not that big on beef. I'm more chicken and pork if I have to eat meat)

[sleek dust]

Right

[twilit quail]

I think I was too weak when it came to 'can thus be ordered online and shipped overseas' resulting in no

Cospa goddamnit

So much good shit

[pallid hazel]

Heya sorry for late reply. Sat down for a meal at a tiny little sake bar in Hatsudai. Might just chill here and then head back to rest. But maybe next time!

[twilit quail]

Smh I home tomorrow lol

[mint gorge]

Have a safe flight homie, sorry I had to dip so soon

[twilit quail]

Is ok la

[pallid hazel]

Ah dang! Well sorry I missed you. I’m drinking too much sake here now and no way I’ll make it anywhere else 😅 and discord is bugging out on me too

[twilit quail]

I believe I can now call you a light weight

[pallid hazel]

I’ll accept this. My BMI is pretty low 😂

[tawny narwhal]

@rugged horizon @waxen lichen Up for grabs? Just got into my hotel.

Anyone in osaka down for something to eat or drink?

[waxen lichen]

Ill be at my hotel in a bit then I need a shower desperately. Whereabouts are you just so I can figure out if I have the energy to move another inch 🤣

[rugged horizon]

I just picked up beer n headed to my hotel I gotta crash lol been out n about since 6am. And I got 10am train in the morning I need to pack n sort.

[tawny narwhal]

I'm here

Aight Doc, sleep tight with beer in your mind 😴

[primal osprey]

My friend, a fellow redditor and I are in Osaka tonight if anyone would like to meet up and do something

[silver kettle]

I’m in osaka, would you like to meet up and do my math homework together?

[primal osprey]

Yeah but you’re definitely failing

[winged current]

Nothing above linear algebra

And no multi vectors

Screw vectors

[tawny narwhal]

Oh discord server of wisdom, should I go out and buy myself something to eat, or stay in my hotel and sleep?

[rich tendon]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-magic-conch-shell-gif-27286100

[silver kettle]

Oh dear krabs, you should go out and eat, maybe some rice curry and meat

[waxen lichen]

Did Krabs find his way out into the hunting grounds of Osaka or did he fall asleep 😴

[slate mortar]

Yes

[winged current]

When does jonnivan perform

[night hemlock]

Killer list, where you at with this tonight?

[slate mortar]

They are second or third I'm not sure. I saw the timetable but it was on an Insta story so it disappeared

[winged current]

Np

[shadow blade]

I will arrive at 12:30 and do the hike from Hanno station so should be at the Park at 15:00 :/

[shadow blade]

I may join, just let me listen to the type of music of these groups when I will be in a less crowded place 🙃

[slate mortar]

Awesome, just remember to reserve a ticket in advance for the discount price
https://smily.bio/gigsintokyo

[pallid hazel]

I love a good cocktail bar, I’ll check this list out later. Definitely down to check some out though I’m sure

[shadow blade]

Sry I will probably go to a gigs show tonight.
For ppl into vocaloid tomorrow from 14:00 to 20:00 there is something at Mogra

I went to These and High five for now, These is a cool place with a nice concept of using fresh fruits of the days to make drinks (but the cocktails were not that good, still ok I guess). High five was disappointing for the 'hospitality' part but cocktails were good.

[waxen lichen]

@tawny narwhal how did it go last night? Did you go on an adventure or fall asleep? 😂

[tawny narwhal]

Had a back and forth with the hotel for over 2 hours, got the PDF on how to get the key. Got into the room I was given and saw a bunch of private personal stuff lying around the room.. Messaged them and later on found out the booked the wrong room. Got another one after some more talking and the room is clean and empty. Didn't feel like spending any more energy going out so I didn't eat and went to sleep. I'm going around osaka today and will visit the nearby cities the following days.

[solemn linden]

Sheesh airbnb horror stories huh

[waxen lichen]

Damn. Sounds horrible. Good that you’re settled now tho 👍🏻

[tawny narwhal]

My main hostel in Tokyo went smoothly. This one not so much. Feels like this hotel doesn't have much experience since the building is very new.

[tawny narwhal]

Thanks 👍
Since I don't have much natural light, it didn't feel that late, until I looked at the time and it said 15h... Time to hit the castle 🏰

[waxen lichen]

Bring sunscreen 😂

I overslept today. Should be in Tokyo already 😅

[sleek dust]

The gig starts in 3 hours

[waxen lichen]

I know 😅

[silver pier]

ahh yeah I did the garden and hike and was gone by like 1230 hahah

[waxen lichen]

I might show up a bit late

[tame mist]

Silly question but where is the best place to go to find deodorant - I feel like it’s not really a thing here

[waxen lichen]

Go to donki. Surely they some. Or drugstores/pharmacy

[tame mist]

Got it

Easier to find then I thought tbh

[slate mortar]

The performance may not be up to your expectations

[tame mist]

Yeah I heard Japanese lack the gene that causes them to smell bad or something

Lucky bastards 🥹

[winged current]

That’s Koreans

[heavy jasper]

Im meeting with 2 friends at golden gai at 8 tonight if someone wants to tag along

[tame mist]

I am going to go to this if anyone else is

[shadow blade]

@slate mortar is it possible to go out during the show and go in after ? Or once you are in you have to stay until you leave ?

[shadow blade]

I 🤝

[slate mortar]

No re-entry at WWW

You can step out to the bar area but not out of the venue

[shadow blade]

Ok, and is there stuffs to eat in ?

[sleek dust]

I thought it was Chinese!

[winged current]

Lol

[pallid hazel]

Ended up getting back to hotel later than planned…. Guess I better grab a quick snack and head over to WWW! Excited to catch the show 😄

Here’s a possibly dumb question, but should I expect it to be a fully standing venue? Kinda tweaked something in my leg and just curious if I should prepare for that.

[tame mist]

This is what family mart fried chicken was invented for 🙂

[waxen lichen]

Grab a pair of socks while you’re there 👌🏻

[final lion]

What’s Osaka gang doing

[solemn linden]

i've been eating those 2-3 times a day...it's just so good.

[slate mortar]

No

Not gonna push it too hard, but any loose ends are welcome

[desert flicker]

I'm in a bit of a pickle right now, if anyone has info... I tried to withdraw money with my debit card from an atm (one of the 711 branded ones) and my card got denied. Idk why, last time I was in japan I was able to withdraw with no issues

[sleek dust]

Does your PIN start with a 0?

Japanese ATMs have problems with that

[desert flicker]

No it does not

[sleek dust]

Try a post office ATM and if that fails, contact your bank

[desert flicker]

Any post office or?

Sorry, I never have had this issue before

[rancid heron]

Im down if you’re still going

[desert flicker]

I went to an atm inside Lawson and my card worked, guess it doesn't like the 7-11 atms this time around lol
Thank you for your help tho!

[waxen lichen]

That’s a big area 🤣

[slim valve]

Yeah, going to drop off my luggage and then go to that park to chill before check in

[slim valve]

I'm capable of travel, armed with my ICOCA

[waxen lichen]

Armed and dangerous

[rancid heron]

So u wanna meet after u check in or

[slim valve]

Check in is at 3pm. I'll be at the park between 1 and 3pm

[slim valve]

My weapon, the classic sumimasen

[waxen lichen]

Or nai

Idk

[slim valve]

[rancid heron]

[waxen lichen]

[waxen lichen]

Good idea. Same here. Cya in Tokyo 👍🏻

[rancid heron]

[waxen lichen]

Don’t forget the strong zeros @rancid heron

[slim valve]

I've been so kind to get alcohol

[waxen lichen]

You gonna sit in that park and drink til 15?

[slim valve]

Likely, after check in I'll be doing my skincare in the room till dinner

[waxen lichen]

Sweet

[rancid heron]

Dinner?

This is my breakfast

[slim valve]

I haven't had breakfast yet. Dinner will be breakfast

[rancid heron]

First meal of the day is breakfast no matter what time you eat it 😌

[waxen lichen]

Oh well. Won’t be making it over there before 15. Heading for akihabara to check out some spots I forgot the other day. If you’re out and about later on maybe we will cross paths 👍🏻

[rancid heron]

Il prob be free

[rancid heron]

I made a small error

Ended up in asakusa but im heading back rn

What part of the park are u in

Walking there rn

[slim valve]

I'm sitting at one of the tables, vibing

White and blue dress

[sleek dust]

Hopefully the rain holds off

[silver kettle]

https://tokyocheapo.com/events/kita-fireworks-festival/

[pallid spade]

Hey guys. We’re hitting a local izakaya spot in shinjuku tomorrow evening. It’s a place that offers all you can drink sake formulas, so it’s perfect for discovering varieties of sake. It does not have english website or menu, but I can serve as translator 🙂 Hit me up on line (mitchio99) or discord if interested (preferably line)

[final lion]

Damn Osaka is wild. I got home at 9am. the streets are wild. just woke up 😭😭

[tame mist]

I’d recommend doing one of the pub crawls in Osaka

We had like 100 people go last Saturday

[waxen lichen]

Insanity

[solemn linden]

There is an aozora festival going on.

[waxen lichen]

Having a small lunch/breakfast at that LittleTGV place I mentioned 😂

It’s cute but a bit gimmicky. I like the concept tho 👍🏻

[final lion]

You are talking my language

[tame mist]

This is one I did https://www.tripadvisor.com/AttractionProductReview-g14127623-d12898695-Osaka_Pub_Crawl_and_Nightlife_Tour-Chuo_Osaka_Osaka_Prefecture_Kinki.html

[tame mist]

I’m blurring the lines between america and Japan over here in Odaiba haha loving it , such a vibe

[open parcel]

I mean this is also kinda bluring the lines

The spam sushi a bit less

[waxen lichen]

Well I had McDonalds drunk food like the second day in Japan sooo 🤣

[open parcel]

I did Mcdonalds second day in Nagoya

So Thursday last week

[tame mist]

I’ve got the statue of liberty in the background here

lol

[waxen lichen]

@slim valve @rancid heron What you wildlings up to?

[final lion]

Thanks my guy

[torn plover]

Im in Nakatsugawa today, Matsumoto tomorrow (walking nakesando) and then 2 nights in Takayama.
If anyones down for dinner or beer hmu

[slim valve]

Got lunch/dinner

[rancid heron]

Are u still going to akihabara

[waxen lichen]

I’ve been there for a few hours already. Back at the hotel dropping of some delicate merch

Then heading back out for beer somewhere

[winged current]

Anyone in Shimokitazawa?

[pallid hazel]

No but the bartender at the place I’m at just mentioned that’s a great area for small live music venues so I’m interested to check it out at some point

[waxen lichen]

Habo usually promotes music events in that area

[winged current]

There’s a few events going on tonight

[waxen lichen]

Shimokitazawa Three for instance

[slim valve]

Habos birthday gig is tonight

[slate mortar]

MrT is going to an event I shared haha

That's why he's hanging out there in advance

[waxen lichen]

Ah cool

[slim valve]

Good enough for a second visit?

[waxen lichen]

I guess as a group would be more fun. And later closer to evening perhaps. It was very chill now.

550 yen fee for entering too

[slim valve]

I'm visiting Niigata tomorrow morning and Kamakura on Monday, but I'm free in the evenings if you're up for it

[waxen lichen]

For the “ticket” to get on board

[slim valve]

That's a cute gimmick

It's like a real ticket 🥹

[waxen lichen]

Yeah. Cute and gimmicky sort of summarize the place

[slim valve]

Do they have food in the form of trains

[waxen lichen]

For sure. I live right next to the yamanote line now so I can get places pretty fast 😂

[slim valve]

💯

[waxen lichen]

Yeah.

I just got 2 items because I wasn’t really hungry. Just wanted to check the place out 🙂

[waxen lichen]

But yeah. No real plans from now until the 7th except for shopping ALL the things for my nieces and doing some Godzilla sightseeing

Need to find a nice knife store too. Looking for some good nakiri-knives.

[slim valve]

This incredibly cute

[slim valve]

I have 0 plans. I do have a jr pass until the 3rd so I'll be visiting places in the morning, but afternoons are free

[pallid hazel]

Oh lmao. I didn’t even check where that was 😂 I’ll def try to stop by later!

But now I remember you saying that’s your hood

[waxen lichen]

Yeah I have the pass too and was thinking about what other cities I was going to do a day trip to but haven’t decided yet 🤣

[pallid hazel]

Got it. Will note those down. Midnight shows are a big commitment for me tho, my body is feeling its age haha

[slim valve]

Have you been to Kamakura?

[pallid hazel]

But sounds legit

[waxen lichen]

Not sure. Is it the one with the Buddha statue? 🤔

You know. That one and only place with a Buddha statue 🤣

[slim valve]

It has a buddha, the only one in all of Japan actually :^)

[waxen lichen]

I think I was there 5 years ago because kamakura rings a bell really loud. Don’t know if it’s because I’ve been there or if it’s because I want to go there tho 😅

[slim valve]

Not remembering every single temple you've been to, tsk

https://tenor.com/view/shame-go-t-game-of-thrones-walk-of-shame-shameful-gif-4949558

[waxen lichen]

I’m a horrible weeb. Gomenasai

Time for a hotel beer then head out somewhere and see what catches my eye 💪🏻

[slim valve]

I'm unsure about these operating times

[sleek dust]

Hotel beers are great

[waxen lichen]

Always need a couple of cans in the hotel fridge

[slim valve]

I still have a strong zero left after drinking with Nick. Perfect for a self care evening

[sleek dust]

What area are you staying in this time?

[waxen lichen]

Right next to Takanawa gateway station

[sleek dust]

Strong zero…left…v?

[slim valve]

I got a few, but then we went to a burger place and they had beer from my country so we drank that instead

[waxen lichen]

So skin care routine and strong zero for the rest of the evening?

[sleek dust]

Can chill along the rivers

[slim valve]

If I have energy left around 8 I might go outside but that's a maybe

[sleek dust]

If it was a little earlier you could walk across the rainbow bridge

[sleek dust]

Brozzers?

[waxen lichen]

Yeah I saw that pop up somewhere. Was hoping it was a super pride thingy bridge

[shy pike]

Kyoto tonight anyone?

[waxen lichen]

One of my nieces is super heavy into everything pride so that would’ve been cool to send some pics of

[sleek dust]

Takanawa gateway is an…interesting choice

Kinda out there

[waxen lichen]

Purely because it’s 3 minutes from the yamanote line. I have no plans on doing stuff in this neighborhood 😂

[slim valve]

I think Nick thoughts the burgers were too sweet, I liked it tho

[sleek dust]

Quick walk to PLATINUM Don quihote

[waxen lichen]

What’s happening at plat donki?

Like mega donki but more exclusive?👀

[slim valve]

Exclusive jingle?

[sleek dust]

I guess so. I’ve only ever seen it in passing

But it’s in the rich neighbourhood so it must be fancy

[waxen lichen]

I’m not a fancy kind of guy so I wouldn’t fit in 😂

[sleek dust]

Try disheveled donki

[waxen lichen]

I do need to visit a donki again at some point, buy a shitload of snacks and gifty stuff etc

I’ll save that for next week 👍🏻

[slate mortar]

Also I mentioned yesterday, but my birthday party is tonight and any loose ends are welcome
#1136744681833779284 message

[rancid heron]

I think ur next to me

Im at the APA across the station

[waxen lichen]

No fucking way

🤣

[tame mist]

I walked around there earlier it was amazing

Grabbed a walking beer also 😜

[pallid hazel]

Yup thanks! Gonna try to stop by a little later. Probably wont make it by the start time though.

[waxen lichen]

Yeah I’m at the same APA 😂

[rancid heron]

👨‍❤️‍👨

[waxen lichen]

Ridicolous 🤣

[rancid heron]

What floor

[waxen lichen]

[slim valve]

HAHA

[rancid heron]

🏃‍♂️

[slim valve]

I told you u guys were close

Nick isn't an axe murderer I can confirm

[waxen lichen]

But maybe I am 👀

[sleek dust]

Yep it’s great for that. The view from up there is killer

[slim valve]

Not the best advertisement if youre in the same hotel

[waxen lichen]

Anyways I just finished my hotel beer and gonna head for shinjuku and visit the Godzilla store then maybe meet up with scrible and ectonome

[rancid heron]

I need to vist a donki one more time before i fly tmrw night

Stock up on supplies until my next trip

[waxen lichen]

On the same day or today?

[rancid heron]

Sunday night

Going back to NYC 😔

[sleek dust]

It’s APA it’s to be expected

[waxen lichen]

Yeah but I meant you want go to donki today or tomorrow?

[rancid heron]

Probably today

Gonna pack and chill tmrw

[waxen lichen]

Let’s do it. I’m heading for Godzilla store in shinjuku as mentioned. I bet there’s atleast one donki on the way there

[shadow blade]

If you are in kyoto you better check Ixey bars, one IS classic and the other one no alcohol, amazing places both of them 🙂

[waxen lichen]

Then beer and meet up with the others

Or we can meet at donki after I’m done with Godzilla if you don’t like that stuff 😂

[rancid heron]

Are u going now? I kinda have to take a dump

If you can wait

[waxen lichen]

I can wait until you’ve taken said dump

[rancid heron]

U wanna wait in my room

[waxen lichen]

No

[rancid heron]

😔

[waxen lichen]

😂

[rancid heron]

Il try to be quick

Do u want some leftover uh

[sleek dust]

I can tell this is going to be the beginning of a beautiful relationship

Down to one Snus. Horrible

[slim valve]

[waxen lichen]

[waxen lichen]

Apa literally means monkey in Swedish btw

[slim valve]

I mean content wise

Aap is the word in Dutch

[waxen lichen]

There was beer, coffee and onigiri there earlier this morning

[rancid heron]

Speaking of which theres a really good Chinese spot across the street

[waxen lichen]

Speaking of monkey? 👀

[rancid heron]

Good as in authentic to taste idk if you like it tho

[slim valve]

Top 10 things you might have to make a youtube apology for in 5 min

[peak vortex]

There should definitely be a thread here just called "Gaijin Fridges" for pictures of your fridge/pantry mid trip.

[slim valve]

KodoKUSHI, means dying a lonely death in Japanese:)

[rancid heron]

Ok i was in my fridge until 6:20

[waxen lichen]

Also… very sad

[rancid heron]

[waxen lichen]

Nice to know for when all my money is gone

[waxen lichen]

Yes. I’ll head down

I’m outside

Too crowdy in the lobby

[rugged horizon]

I'm finally in toyko! Anyone down to clown in ikebukuro. I'm free after 2230

[solemn linden]

Too many ppl in tokyo

[pallid hazel]

I accidentally got roped into an event with about 30 people and only one or two can barely struggle through English. Is this isn’t motivation to learn I don’t know what is haha

[sleek dust]

Is it a cult?

[rugged horizon]

Wait till they bring out the kool-aid to confirm

[dim citrus]

Hey I'm heading into Osaka tonight. If anyone's up for a spontaneous meet up lemme know 🙂 24M German here

[slim valve]

@waxen lichen still alive

[slate leaf]

Salty apple is still alive

[waxen lichen]

Yes

What’s up

[orchid cradle]

[waxen lichen]

We’re drinking

6 people

In Shinjuku

[orchid cradle]

Oh!

Is there room for one?

[waxen lichen]

We haven’t found a place to sit down yet but the more the merrier. I’ll let you know when we’re settled. Very mobile atm looking around

[open parcel]

Oh if you're in dotenbori

Im lined up next to the crab trying to get takoyaki

[dim citrus]

Just went to McD -.-

[open parcel]

But in Dotenbori?

[dim citrus]

I can be there in like 20 mins

[open parcel]

Well probably by the time i get the takoyaki, it might be 20 mins lol

[dim citrus]

That's fine I'm not hungry anymore ^^

[open parcel]

Btw

How long are you staying in Kansai?

Im basically staying till the monday, cause on tuesday its all day USJ, and Wednesday i move to Fukuoka

[dim citrus]

Today's my last day

[open parcel]

Ah

Anywhere else in Japan or flying out tomorrow?

[dim citrus]

Going to Tokyo on the 3rd

[winged current]

@slate mortar Really wish I could have gone to the music show tonight

So annoyed at my work call

I really needed a night to chill and unwind with music

[slim valve]

I thought you were going to Nagoya tomorrow

Or will you be missing the Periwinkles as well?

[winged current]

I am going to that

I leave for the train in 8 hours 😄

I'm on a 7 AM train to Nagoya

I think I should have probably booked it later in the day

but maybe I'll just pass out on the train

Sunday is my last night in Japan, I want it to be memorable

and doing a day trip to Nagoya and seeing the Periwinkles is my perfect idea of that

Going to keep the schedule simple

Nagoya Castle, Osu Shopping District, Atsuta Shrine

[sleek dust]

Nice shirt

[slate mortar]

My party is going til midnight

Sasazuka

Zookid

Loads of people here

[winged current]

lol

If you had said the tomboys were there

I would get into a cab and head over right now

[dim citrus]

@open parcel just sent you a DM

[slate leaf]

I look much more gone than I thought

[final lion]

Posted this in general but I’m going here tonight

https://www.meetup.com/make-friends-japan/events/295774548/

If you hit attend it’s 1100 and take a screenshot of the flyer it’s all you can drink until 2am

[dim citrus]

Seems like a cool idea. I'll message you for more information

[final lion]

Cool just replied

[left brook]

Jesus 1k yen for all you can drink lmao

Good luck

[slate mortar]

[winged current]

I’ll have to watch this later

Looks good though

[pallid hazel]

Headed to FC Tokyo game today if anyone else is going or interested

Oh, it’s not September anymore.

[tame mist]

I’d be interested in checking something like that out

Or maybe a baseball game

Not sure what’s on

@pallid hazel there’s a baseball game on tonight at 17:00 at Tokyo dome

Just having a look to see where to get resale tickets and pricing

[pallid hazel]

Ah, I already snagged a ticket to the soccer game. And then probably tied up after that. Baseball game sounds fun though!

[tame mist]

What times the game? I might have a look

I dont think I’ll get baseball tickets 😅

[pallid hazel]

15:00 at Ajinomoto. Annoyingly I had to go through the Japanese site because the English one wasn’t working for me. Though, it’s a reserved seat event… so it could be tricky to coordinate

[heavy jasper]

There was this guy on reddit saying he’s got 2 tickets but is looking for a second person to go with, I think in the October meetup post. Maybe check this out

[tame mist]

Ooooo

I’ll have a look

[heavy jasper]

Maybe it was the September meetup, either of these

[tame mist]

You able to link?

Ah ok

[heavy jasper]

Im looking for it atm

https://reddit.com/r/JapanTravel/s/hZWZod7Kss

I think sadly the game was couple days ago

Unsure though, maybe just ask him :)

[rugged horizon]

I'm planning to go to the game Wednesday

The swallows game

[slate mortar]

Thank you to everyone who stopped by my birthday party last night 🙏🏻

[open parcel]

Happy late birthday

[zenith grail]

Happy birthday!

[slate mortar]

Thank you!

[pallid spade]

Anyone up to meeting up in shibuya tonight and go grab some food/drinks at torikizoku ? (Super cheap yakitori-style chain izakaya)

[rare zinc]

What time were you thinking?

[pallid spade]

Actually, since there were no reactions I planned something else for dinner. We can still go a little bit later though to mainly have drinks and just some small snacks. Somewhere around 7pm30-8pm or so ?

[slate mortar]

That works for me, what’s the address?

[pallid spade]

we can just meet up at shibuya hachiko 🙂 Add me on line (mitchio99) for further details

[twilit quail]

I miss being in japan 😦 someone go karaoke and then call me so I can do karaoke pls

[tame mist]

I mean if you’re from the UK there are a few karaoke booths that are similar that I am planning to check out when i get back 🤣

[slate mortar]

I used to go to Karaoke Epoc in London, back when it was a weird little addition in the tiny backroom of a Japanese bookstore that for some reason had a sign for dry cleaning outside

Oh those were the days

Felt like a super hidden spot that only Japanophiles knew

Then they realised how popular it could be, so they removed the bookshop and did it up all fancy as a cafe + karaoke. Even opened a basement level

[twilit quail]

I'm n. Ireland 😦 I think we might have 1 Asian style karaoke in belfast somewhere

[tame mist]

@twilit quail this is the one I want to go to in London

Lucky Voice Karaoke Holborn
[phone]

https://g.co/kgs/F3B5Du

[slate mortar]

Went to Lucky Voice once, it's good

[twilit quail]

Is it a bar or booths?

[slate mortar]

Booths

[tame mist]

Yeah looks decent

[twilit quail]

Hope It uses joysound so I can sing my anime and game songs lol

[slate mortar]

It doesn't, Lucky Voice has their own library
https://www.luckyvoicekaraoke.com/sing/songs/search

[twilit quail]

O

[slate mortar]

The only Japanese song I could find was Sukiyaki (Ue wo Muite Arukou) by Kyu Sakamoto

[twilit quail]

That's.. really disappointing.

[tame mist]

I think there are actual Asian karaoke places as well in London

My Chinese friend goes often with her also Chinese friends

[slate mortar]

Oh they have Kiseki by GReeeeN, so maybe there are a few more J-pop hits in there

Karaoke Epoc used to use Wii Us with the Joysound app installed. idk if they still do

[tame mist]

I’ll need to find out from her where exactly she went but they were singing along to anime songs

[twilit quail]

This sounds baller.

I'll be downloading the switch joysound on my jp account when I get a chance

[twilit quail]

Yeye.

[left brook]

Lucky Voice is pretty good been there couple times as well, just the booth isnt too grand with big groups or we just got unlucky

[tawny narwhal]

Isn't it illegal to talk in this thread since yesterday ? /s 🚨

[slate mortar]

September is forever

[tawny narwhal]

ok summer boy x)

[slate mortar]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_September

[tame mist]

It’s timeless

https://youtu.be/Gs069dndIYk?si=a37aaum9z--ISCHb

[twilit quail]

I met up in September, it's illegal to arrange new meetu0s kek

[pallid spade]

Is there actually a thread for octobre ? Or does someone need to create one ?

[slate mortar]

#1139523063667507380

Also should get the October role from id:customize

[humble vessel]

September

[junior void]

Best month

[ancient oak]

🤣🤣

[left brook]

So September 2024 we all got our flights booked yea?

[rich tendon]

Never cooking myself in that heat again

[steady trail]

flights dont even book that far ahead. not here anyway. 6 months seems to be max lol

ive looked

[icy quartz]

September flights are there for me. Booked for August tho 😂

[ancient oak]

we're doing ultra 2024

[tame mist]

Let him cook guys 😉

September is when it’s meant to get cooler generally but I think they had a long summer this year

[tawny narwhal]

I've suffered experienced the Japanese summer. I think I like October better

[steady trail]

it felt the same as texas summer haha

[fickle jungle]

fuck, if flights weren't so expensive I'd do a 4 day weekend trip

[winged current]

lol even better than texas summer

Tokyo for me was only like 90-95 F with lots of humidity

Better than Houston where its the same level of humidity but 117 F

[steady trail]

yeah houston sucks

[icy quartz]

Try New Orleans lol

August trip is for Mount Fuji

Gotta climb it one time

[tame mist]

I think I’ll try that on my next trip

Maybe not in August though … wonder how that would work without roasting

You obviously climb up early morning .. but surely coming down you’ll be walking back in peak sun lol

[icy quartz]

I think you can only climb during that time

July and August

I watched abroadinjapan do it on YouTube

[tame mist]

Don’t think so - I met someone on my trip that did it impulsively while there in September

[icy quartz]

He did a two day thing. Climbed up one day then slept in a tent at night then early morning went to the peak

Oh maybe September is near the end of climbing time?

[tame mist]

No idea just saying what I saw

I’d definitely need to research more

[icy quartz]

Yeah I just googled it lol

Early September is the end

I just remember August is the peak time to do it

[tame mist]

I’m pretty sure he did it during the ~20

Th

I arrived on the 19th so didn’t meet him till after that lol

[icy quartz]

Ah I see

The top is cooler btw

It didn’t seem that bad for them

[steady trail]

sep 10th was closing day

its not ILLEGAL to clib after the climbing seasin, its just that all the infrastructure closes down. from what ive read

[slate mortar]

It’s not illegal, there are no penalties

However you are meant to inform the local government with a detailed plan of your climb

Makes rescuing you easier when things go wrong

If you really want to be put off the idea, here’s the video of the guy who slipped and died while livestreaming his October ascent
https://youtu.be/ic1bOkfWc1Y?si=HmzIFjUpWo2gigNY

[winged current]

Holy crap.

So after he fell, I'm assuming his stream just kept going?

Did people call into his location?

[slate mortar]

The stream cuts off while he’s sliding down

The body was found later

https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2019/11/13/national/mount-fuji-livestreamer-body-confirmed/

[winged current]

That's terrible.

Sometimes you just need to know when to turn back

The mountain will always be there, your safety is always paramount

[slate mortar]

In the video, before the big fall he slips a little several times and every time is like “Hehe, that was a close one…”

[icy quartz]

I’ll stick to august for a try

Sorry September boyz

[slate mortar]

Season ended on 10th September so you can actually go up in the first week

From next year it sounds like there will be more anti-overtourism measures in place though so the rules may be different

[icy quartz]

Oh really I wonder what they will do about that

How they will enforce. I’ll need to be ready

[steady trail]

idk why he didnt have shoe spikes or proper equipment at all. Verrry inexperienced

[slim valve]

@wet oriole

[wet oriole]

I’m just not wasteful

Wanna meet up?
