[peak cosmos]

Yessir

[shrewd ravine]

I like to hear people's thoughts on my recommendations to get a good gauge

Remember that this is what I consider "low" tier sushi, so don't expect it to be like 10-20k yen omakase meals

[sterile mesa]

I want a place I can eat quite a bit because im a fat boy

If I dont eat at least 10 plates with 2-3 sushi on them im gonna be hittin yoshinoia afterward

Im planning to go lake kawaguchi or Hakone on 27 Oct.
Is it easy to go there by public transpo? Lol. Im contemplating on joining a tour if its easier 🥲

[peak cosmos]

From kyoto to lake kawaguchi? @mystic stone

Wouldnt advise on that tbh

Its a long long long way

[mystic stone]

No no. Tokyo lol

[peak cosmos]

I visited lake kawaguchi from shinjuku, took me around 1.5-2 hrs

Very easy transport

Arrive at kawaguchiko station

Then rent a bike and cycle around the lake

10000000% worth

Yep

[mystic stone]

Okay. Will do that then lol.

[peak cosmos]

Thsts what i did

And if u explored lake kawaguchi

And have a lot of time left

Go to lake saiko

Its next to it

I cycled there from lake kawaguchi

[mystic stone]

I wanna try the cable car. But im not sure where that is lol

[peak cosmos]

Abd theres a lot of caves u can Explore from lake saiko

Idk either about a cable car

[mystic stone]

I have trauma riding a bike. But oh well. We'll see. Hahaha

[peak cosmos]

🤣🤣

Csn also walk

But then i doubt u can see both lake saiko and lake kawaguchi

Itll be a long wakk

Walk

I rent my mountainbike like 1 min walk from kawaguchiko station

[mystic stone]

Hahaha might rent a bike then. If its like safe? HAHAHA. no cars no people walking? Haha

[peak cosmos]

Re tal fee was cheap

2500 yen for the entire dsy

Can rent ebike too for that amount

There are cars but

There are designated blue lines

That yoi can follow and are meant for bicycles

Follow those and they will guide you past the lakes

[mystic stone]

Ohh nice

[peak cosmos]

Bus?

@mystic stone

[mystic stone]

All? Hahaha. Train and bus lol

[peak cosmos]

Ye i only did train

I avoid buses usuallt

Then its 2 hrs

Tip: when u arrive , already book a reserved seat ticket for the way back

Or theyll sell out

And u have to stand/take local train which will take longer

~3 hr ish

And buy shine muscat grapes along the route from old lady sellin them by the road 😎

If u r really enthuastic

U can even cycle to the bat and wind caves

But ill tell u its far

So be warned

U gotta have some good condition

Tovmake it 🤣

[peak cosmos]

But im sure theres buses going too

[mystic stone]

Hello, you’ll find some of us here on the 4th https://discord.com/channels/440956791426383882/1165244271398498314

[unreal schooner]

How long do most people spend at borderless planets?

[sonic gazelle]

[shrewd ravine]

The one in Odaiba?

Like an hour

More if you need those instagram shots

[unreal schooner]

The one with water. I went to the odiba one four years ago - though maybe this one is also in odiba?

[shrewd ravine]

If you went to the old one where its like flower lights on the wall

That one was replaced with the water one

So the water one will take 1 hour

Remember to wear shorts/pants you can roll up

The water will come up to your shins/knees almost

To give you an idea of how deep the water goes

Most of these girls are like 5'4 to 5'7

[shut mural]

Anyone wants to explore Shibuya together? Got some time before Shibuya sky at 14:40

[dawn lintel]

I was gonna go in that direction for a quick walk

But my maps isnt loading properly so I need to figure out which train to get from okubo

[shrewd ravine]

@vestal bridge https://tabelog.com/en/hiroshima/A3401/A340104/34020336/
https://tabelog.com/en/hiroshima/A3401/A340121/34027532/

First place takes cash only, second place takes CC

[stone tundra]

pro tip, you should wear a mask when you go
not because of covid, but because it smells like feet in there

[vestal bridge]

Thanks! Both look great

[unreal schooner]

@shrewd ravine any shibuya recs?

[shrewd ravine]

Right now?

What do you want to eat?

[unreal schooner]

Something oishi with @shut mural

[queen wigeon]

Going to Nara right now 🦌

[stone tundra]

you should go and grab mochi from the mochi pounding place that went viral
I've been there before and their legit

[unreal schooner]

@shut mural i am around tokyu plaza

Heading to b label

[shut mural]

Okay

[queen wigeon]

Nice, hope the queu wont be too lomg

[idle valve]

I was there yesterday! There’s usually a crowd of people watching and buying the mochi but line goes by pretty quickly

[stone tundra]

https://maps.app.goo.gl/P4TSnLc4VNV8N38z8

this is a takeaway restaurant that sells pressed and wrapped sushi
I can personally vouch for them as well

[queen wigeon]

Thanks, I just got there, bought the bus pass as well 😄

[idle valve]

Have fun!! Tip: if you’re feeding the deer, don’t feed a bunch of deer at once, some can get aggressive 😬

[queen wigeon]

They cam be really aggressive from what Ive seen from YouTube :))

[peak cosmos]

But it makes for a fun video

"Being chased by a pack of deers"

[queen wigeon]

Nara feels much more spacious so far compared to Kyoto

[idle valve]

I saw someone try to get a deer to eat a cracker from their mouth 🙃

[peak cosmos]

LMAOOO

[idle valve]

That could have been baddd

[queen wigeon]

How many place you visited ytd in Nara? @idle valve

[brisk charm]

Will be in nara in about 2 hours, any restaurant recs?

[queen wigeon]

I only have afternoon left 😅

[idle valve]

I went to the mochi place, Nara park, todaji temple!

Yeah that all took less a day, so you should be good!

[queen wigeon]

Lovely!, I might give Kasuga a quick look. Thx 😊

[mild sedge]

[royal garden]

Hey, anyone know any car meet/car shows up here?

[void creek]

Just say ur claiming it please so two ppl don’t go 😂

[unreal schooner]

20 years ago was in nara with a friend and he was looking at a paper map and a deer ate it 🤷‍♂️

35 years ago i was in mykonos and a pelican ate my sandwich 🤷‍♂️

[queen wigeon]

Its raining in Nara, lucky I just finish the temple visit 😅

[void creek]

You’re first ima delete it lmk once u ss

[dawn lintel]

Ive heard about Daikoku, was planning on heading sometime in the weekend

[dawn lintel]

Enjoy the scenery! I really enjoyed it there when I went

[queen wigeon]

I have some pictures of deers hiding from the rain, looks pretty good 😁

[dawn lintel]

There's a shrine, I think its Tamukeyama....

It's really nice, and once you leave that shrine you can take a road down a residential street that is very quiet and nice, with deer running around and stuff

[sterile mesa]

Getting geared up for food soon in the Harajuku flagship store of Kura sushi. Anyone interested in joining? @glass bronze

[blazing summit]

@shrewd ravine Any recommendations for the Ginza area? Up for anything except ramen (had it for lunch)

[shrewd ravine]

Budget?

Anything you haven't had this trip yet?

Ping me if you would whenever you get a chance to respond. I won't see it otherwise.

[blazing summit]

@shrewd ravine No budget limitations, I've only been here one day so only had some sushi and ramen. I have a couple sushi places, a steak place, and a tempura place lined up in the coming week.

[shrewd ravine]

Okay I know what you need then. Give me a minute

@blazing summit How's your Japanese?

[blazing summit]

@shrewd ravine Very limited, only know phrases to get by

[shrewd ravine]

@blazing summit You're probably going to need to use some google translate then for the menu

https://tabelog.com/en/tokyo/A1301/A130101/13219635/

Tonkatsu. You can't go wrong with a good tonkatsu.

They take credit cards too.

A good tonkatsu is amazing and won't break your budget. Tell me how it is @blazing summit

and take pictures

[blazing summit]

@shrewd ravine Amazing, you're the best.

[shrewd ravine]

Tell me how it is. I always like to hear people's thoughts.

[blazing summit]

For sure

[queen wigeon]

Any recommendation in Kyoto? 😊

[shrewd ravine]

Depends where in Kyoto, your budget, and what you want to eat

[queen wigeon]

3k max probably, anything thats not ramen or noodles 😊

[shrewd ravine]

Where in kyoto?

[queen wigeon]

I near gion

612番地 Azuchicho, Shimogyo Ward, Kyoto, 600-8040, Japan

About 15 mins walk to nishiki market

So Im thinking go back there for dinner

[shrewd ravine]

https://tabelog.com/en/kyoto/A2601/A260202/26019639/

Get some curry

They have english menus

Get the combination curry

I'd recommend beef curry + veg curry

If they have a salad set, go with the potato salad

though I'd strongly recommend trying one of their veg juices

[queen wigeon]

Thx, I will check it out after some rest from Nara trip 🦌

[shrewd ravine]

LO is at 9:30 I think

They do take credit cards

but always carry cash just in case

Hi I'm thinking of going to the mameshiba Cafe in Harajuku! Anyone wanna come and look at cute dogs with me? Might wander Harajuku or shinjuku afterwards

[dawn lintel]

I'll be in Harajuku in a bit to do some quick shopping

Can swing by for a coffee

[queen wigeon]

Going to Kurama today, might get in onsen on the way back ♨️

[steep plank]

Yeah I went straight to them, the adult pandas didn't even have a line, just the yound ones (that aren't very child-like)

[fleet bough]

Ooh what kinda shopping? I'm still up in shinjuku atm grabbing some lunch but I'll see if you're still in the area!

[dawn lintel]

Just at Uniqlo at the moment browsing and trying to get something

Love the quality of this brand

[fleet bough]

Oh I'm considering on going to the ginza flagship for uniqlo cause I need a whole new wardrobe. Japanese people making me feel like I got 0 style

[dawn lintel]

I also want to check that one out eventually

I couldn't find what I was looking for in this one, so I'll be around the area just in and out of shops

[pine maple]

Did you already hit the shiba cafe? I miss my dog, so I'd be up for going 😆

[fleet bough]

I just got here with Gabz! We haven't gone inside yet

[pine maple]

[fleet bough]

[pine maple]

Cool! On my way now.

[fleet bough]

[shut mural]

Hi! Do anyone want to meet somewhere around Sensoji?

[queen wigeon]

[tardy lodge]

[queen wigeon]

5k yen, all of my travel expenses would not reach 5k usd haha😅

[fleet bough]

Update from shiba Cafe

[sonic gazelle]

[vestal bridge]

Miyajima deer don’t care

[proven hawk]

Just arrived! I'm in Akihabara today if anyone wants to hang out

[tardy lodge]

They indeed do not...
*UNLESS * you work there. I saw a deer try to battle a guy working a stand that was moving benches for like 15 minutes.

[sonic gazelle]

I'm walking around Akiba at the moment. Thinking about getting lunch in a bit

[shut mural]

Also going to aki right now, wanna get a lunch together?

[sonic gazelle]

[shut mural]

Ok, will be there in 30 min, where can i find you?

[sonic gazelle]

I'll be just across the radio building. Green backpack, and green hoodies around waist

@proven hawk would you like to grab food as well if you're still heading towards Akiba?

Hey guys. I’m organizing a night out in Shibuya tomorrow. 🍻 🌙 We will hit some local Izakayas for food/drinks, probably do some karaoke and then go wherever the night leads us 🎤 🎈 . We’d meet up at Shibuya Hachiko around 6pm30. If you wanna join hit me up directly on discord with a friend invite 🙂. I’m half Japanese so I know my way around and can guide you.

[queen wigeon]

Too bad I will be at Osaka

[sonic gazelle]

[queen wigeon]

Does anyone in Osaka wanna meet up tmr night?

[mild sedge]

Just a reminder of my music plans for tomorrow and Saturday if anyone wants to tag along #october message

[fleet bough]

Also who's trynna go out tonight tho. Down for shinjuku/golden Gai or shibuya

[mild sedge]

My favourite bar in Shimokitazawa is having its Halloween party tonight. It will be busy https://maps.google.com?q=〒155-0031 東京都世田谷区北沢２丁目１４−２ ＪＯＷ３ビル 4F 風知空知&ftid=0x6018f3696fe5951b:0xbb27915a19a5ea67&hl=ja-JP&gl=jp&entry=gps&lucs=,47071704

if you want an off-the-beaten-track choice

[dawn lintel]

you already know

just let me know whether to take the train to Shibuya or whether we'll start out at Golden Gai and go from there

[idle valve]

Can I join? 🙋🏻‍♀️

[dawn lintel]

of course, the more the merrier

[sonic gazelle]

you have a set time?

[steep plank]

I'm down for tonight as well 👌

[dawn lintel]

I'll be at either Shinjuku or Shibuya (wherever is decided) at around 11:30pm

[fleet bough]

I'm down to meetup whenever and go until late. Were we thinking just drinks or food too

[fair latch]

Yo pikzi and I are down too

[fleet bough]

Is there a bar that can accommodate a decent group of us

[sonic gazelle]

I think decide either Shibuya or Shinjuku first then figure out the spot

[fleet bough]

Let's do Shinjuku, maybe 7:30

[sonic gazelle]

[mystic stone]

I'm coming from fujisama. Will be in shinjuku around 8pm

*fujisawa

[sonic gazelle]

Certain spot to meetup at?

[fleet bough]

Admittedly I just came to Shinjuku yesterday so I know 0 about any actual spot aside from Bar Champion from last night

[mystic stone]

Lol. Ive only been to Shinjuku once myself last night and was with a food tour. So im not also sure

[fleet bough]

@idle valve @sonic gazelle do you have recs for spots we could start our night at?

[sonic gazelle]

Haven't been down in Shinjuku in a good minute but maybe group up at Shinjuku station then walk towards the Bar Champion?

[fleet bough]

Sounds good then we start bar crawling

[sonic gazelle]

Went to this one last year if we need to change spots. Not sure if it'll fit everyone PUB 305
03-6205-5560
https://maps.app.goo.gl/dZo5x2KW4shjdXxJ6

Somewhat close to Bar Champion

[fleet bough]

Did we wanna meet up and start there then?

[sonic gazelle]

Probably best to stick to the station and get an idea of how many of us there are

[idle valve]

Champion 😂

[fleet bough]

Oki Shinjuku crew for the night meet at 7:30 at Shinjuku station

[fair latch]

Will you be exploring kabukicho tower too?

[fleet bough]

Idk if that's what we have planned aside from just hanging and drinking

Up to everyone else lol

[idle valve]

I’ll meet u guys a little later! Having omakase dinner now

[fleet bough]

Wowww tfti. Jk too broke for that, enjoy dinner and see you later!

[mystic stone]

I'll be in shinjuku before 7pm. 😅

Didnt realize i took the express train lol

[dawn lintel]

try Giraffe, multi-floor club

there's also a retro videogame bar called PC and Retro Bar Space Station

its got like n64 and a few other game/arcade style things, with drinks named after videogame characters and what not, if you're into that kind of stuff

[hollow tundra]

It's just drinks? Or can you try out some old arcades and stuff? Thinking of checking it out tonight

[dawn lintel]

oh yeah you can play the games

[hollow tundra]

👌👌

[dawn lintel]

from what I recall they have a few fighter games, mario kart, some built in retro games on some drinking barrel that doubles for a table, etc

[fleet bough]

Seconded giraffe was fun, lots of foreigners. The bar across from it called Pure gives 3 drink tickets when you pay the 1000¥ cover so good deal too

[steep plank]

I'll be there in 15 minutes

[placid trench]

Will anyone be in Nara this weekend? I’d love to feed the deer and share a coffee with folks!

[mystic stone]

Actually my google map was trippin me. Or the train was delayed?

[sonic gazelle]

I have forgotten how much a God damn maze Shinjuku station is

[queen wigeon]

Unfortunately not, but check the weather, at the end off my Nara daytrip, it was pouring when I tried to get out of there.

[steep plank]

Or you're going the wrong way

[pine maple]

Will be in Shinjuku in a few minutes. Want to grab some quick food before we drink

[sonic gazelle]

[placid trench]

I’m very lucky! It’s sunny and gorgeous this week.

[steep plank]

We're getting dinner + drinks aren't we?

[queen wigeon]

seeing deers hiding from the rain is also very unique experience

[pine maple]

I’m down for dinner and drinks. Not sure what the plan was

[steep plank]

Me either tbh 😂

[pine maple]

Should we just meet up and figure it out?

[placid trench]

That’s too adorable!

[mystic stone]

I'll be in kyoto tomorrow. I'll see if I can go to nara over the weekend lol

[mystic stone]

I can grab some dinner with anyone. But i'll pass on the drinks lol. Be in Shinjuku soon

[steep plank]

What exit are we meeting at?

[pine maple]

How about B15?

[mystic stone]

Oh wait. I am in shinjuku lol.

[sonic gazelle]

That's what I forgot about beforehand

[mystic stone]

Its a maze 😭 where am i meeting you guys?

[pine maple]

B15

[steep plank]

I have no idea where b15 is, only got signs for 2-13

[sonic gazelle]

At the moment I'm at the South East gate

[mystic stone]

Hahahaha

[mystic stone]

Same. Hahahah.

[steep plank]

Alright I'm just gonna get on the street so gps works

[mystic stone]

Were all like at different points of shinjuku hahaha. Im at east square

[pine maple]

Ok. B15 puts you at Uniqlo. That’s where I am. Happy to meet wherever

[mystic stone]

Oh @sonic gazelle i have the same view!!!

[sonic gazelle]

I'll walk towards that map thingy in your pic

[steep plank]

[sonic gazelle]

Green backpack, green hoodie around waist

[mystic stone]

[steep plank]

Drop a pin and I'll start walking that way

[fair latch]

Drop a pin when y'all find a spot. I'll be there around 8ish

[sonic gazelle]

Oh God

[mystic stone]

[steep plank]

[steep plank]

I need something I can find on a map bro...

[mystic stone]

Look for Newoman.

[pine maple]

I’m coming that way but had to walk around the station

[mystic stone]

We're under Lumine 2 building

[steep plank]

If we're going to champion Bar maybe you should start walking this way

https://maps.app.goo.gl/Cft6gsEw1nh3ATzG6

[pine maple]

That’s kinda where I was lol

I see Newoman now

Where are you now?

[proven hawk]

Gonna eat now, if anyone is still around Akihabara I'm down to check some Arcades tonight

Too tired for Shinjuku meetup 🥲

[pine maple]

@steep plank are you still near the SE exit?

[steep plank]

Yeah man I'm not moving

[mystic stone]

Is there food there? 😅 i just need dinner

[steep plank]

Can't be fucked walking 10 mins there if we're going to walk back

[proven hawk]

The trick with Shinjuku station is to always use the same exit

[fleet bough]

Bar champion is just a bar. We probably gonna look for a bit of food

[proven hawk]

That way you cant get lost

[steep plank]

Okay I'll come your way then

[fleet bough]

Ok also at Shinjuku station, where are yall?

[pine maple]

South East Gate

[sonic gazelle]

[pine maple]

Warp!

[mystic stone]

Gmorning! Any of you guys who arent hungover free to have coffee/brunch before i leave for kyoto? Lol

[shrewd ravine]

Hungover?

You guys clearly didn't drink enough pocari sweat

[mystic stone]

I dont drink. So i dunno. 🤣

[unreal schooner]

Heh. Where are you, @mystic stone

I am packing my stuff since i need to change rooms today - i extended a night and they only had a different room type 🤷‍♂️

[queen wigeon]

Im leaving Kyoto to osaka this morning as well

[unreal schooner]

I am a bit bummed that i am almost out of luggage space. Those duty free bags of stuff are not optimal for packing. I think consensus is best not to open the bags but prob nothing will happen?

[queen wigeon]

No one care tbh

[unreal schooner]

“Oh no this guy might have consumed some japanese toothpaste and candies!!!”

[hollow tundra]

That's life sentence in prison here, I'd be careful, they take tax free candies VERY seriously

[unreal schooner]

Also will be bummed if new room is on other side of building

[queen wigeon]

Nice views

I have to check out by 11, not sure if enough time for some coffee, maybe after that :))

[unreal schooner]

Are you in shinjuku?

[mystic stone]

I stay in Asakusa lol.

[queen wigeon]

Oops, i thought you leave Kyoto, not leave for Kyoto, nvm :))

[unreal schooner]

Ok i am far from you in shinjuku

[mystic stone]

All good. How long will you be in Osaka? I'll be there on 31 Oct

[queen wigeon]

I will check out Nov 1st in Osaka

We can still meet up :))

[mystic stone]

Nice nice. We shall then! Lol

You can recommend dinner on my first night there lol

[frank jetty]

Hey guys, I'm organizing a night out in Shibuya (Food/Drinks/Karaoke/etc). There is still room for a few people, if you wanna join hit me up directly on discord with an invite 😉

I'm half japanese btw, so I know the more local places and can guide you around 🙂

Meeting point/time would be 7pm Hachiko.

[unreal schooner]

[shut goblet]

[fleet bough]

I lost my voice

LMAO BRO I JUST GOT RANDOMLY STOPPED BY COPS AS SOON AS I WALK OUT OF MY HOTEL AND THEY ASKED FOR MY ID. Clutch I have my passport on me

[unreal schooner]

Traveling with your dad?

[pine maple]

I was trying to remember who the guy in the front of the selfie pic is then it hit me that it was the random Japanese dude from the bar

[unreal schooner]

Bonjour! 🥳

[mystic stone]

Why are the cafe opening late here? Who bloody drinks coffee at 11??

Lol

[unreal schooner]

Is there usable free wifi at hnd international terminal?

[mild sedge]

Yes

[unreal schooner]

Try getting breakfast at 7am!!

[tardy lodge]

??? Why’d they stop you?

[unreal schooner]

Ok heading to tokyo national museum.

[shrewd ravine]

Why were you stopped?

[fleet bough]

No idea. One minute I'm walking out the door of my hotel and I see two policemen walking then suddenly 1 puts on his mask and approaches me and asked in japanese if they could search me and see my ID card. Once they saw I'm American they were like oh...traveling? Then left me alone

[tardy lodge]

Crazy.

[tardy lodge]

R U Asian?

[fleet bough]

They just did a classic tsa pat down but all I have are my airpods and wallet. They tried going through my wallet too

Yeah

[tardy lodge]

🤔🤷🏻

[mild sedge]

They have quotas. They pick foreign-looking people randomly

Always carry your passport as a tourist

[fair latch]

I'm hanging in there. Nothing some Coco can't fix

[shrewd ravine]

Didn't know they had quotas

[mystic stone]

@fleet bough 🤣🤣 you look asian tho. Could pass as japanese lol

[shrewd ravine]

I've never been stopped in almost 10 years, but I've been told I could pass as Japanese?

Maybe I just have that constantly annoyed salaryman look on my face

and they just leave me alone

[queen wigeon]

There was a thread on reddit swear that you should not bring the pp in case losing, and would rather deal with japanese police

[fleet bough]

Wdym look??? I am asian 😂😂

[mild sedge]

If you don't have it, they may escort you aaaaaall the way back to your hotel to get it

[stone tundra]

Johnny Somali effect?

[terse spear]

My whole trip I've seen one uniformed popo and that was this morning. Only other time was a popo mobile near a station.

[mystic stone]

I know! But like. What kind of asian? HAHAHAHA

[fleet bough]

Maybe it was the look of defeat on my face walking out into the sun

[terse spear]

These are weirdos who are prone to losing things.

Lost my wallet/watch/airpods/passport, holy hell.

[fleet bough]

Lol I'm Chinese/Viet. They only spoke Japanese to me until I whipped the good ol USA passport. That was def one way to practice Japanese 😭

[shrewd ravine]

I'm Chinese Viet too

I've been told I look Korean and Japanese

[mystic stone]

The universe's way of greeting you Ohayo gozaimasu!! HAHAHA
Im sure youre wide awake now lol

[queen wigeon]

Du ma

🤣

What, so many Viet

[fleet bough]

I get japanese. Apparently I don't look viet or Chinese cause I'm a mutt

[fair latch]

Would anyone be down to go to that restaurant that serves walrus tonight?

[shrewd ravine]

Yup

[mystic stone]

@fleet bough lol.

[shrewd ravine]

In my experience, Japanese people do like Vietnamese, so do Koreans.

[fleet bough]

Where's the horse at

[shrewd ravine]

Mostly everyone just has beef against mainland Chinese

[dawn lintel]

https://tenor.com/view/first-day-of-school-back-gif-18021991

[fleet bough]

Well I guess good I don't look Chinese in this case. They mightve taken me to the station

[queen wigeon]

Man, we missed out that hang out tgt, would love to talk to another viet haha

Cool, Im heading to osaka now, I will be there for another 5 days

Just by yourself?

[fleet bough]

Oh btw does anyone wanna go to the Uniqlo in Ginza?

[shrewd ravine]

lol

The second I open my mouth would give it away

I'll just hit them with a fake texas draw

"Howdy ya'll"

"Yeesir ree I'm Murican"

[queen wigeon]

For me is "G'day mate" 🤣

[shrewd ravine]

Just hit them with some fake cockney

It'll confuse the hell out of them

[idle valve]

okay you guys are bad influences, esp @fleet bough . guess I’m staying another night

[pine maple]

@fleet bough I'm still trying to figure out how you are awake enough to have left your hotel already

[mystic stone]

Youre aussie??

[mystic stone]

The cops woke him up? Lol

[pine maple]

I'm still drinking coffee in my underwear contemplating the choices I made last night

[mystic stone]

Awww what did he do to you?? Hahaha. Did you get 2 highballs for me? Lol

[queen wigeon]

Australian ye, wouldn't call myself Aussie, I migrated there.

[mystic stone]

Im sure the dancing girl was worth it Hahaha

[fleet bough]

I woke up at 9:45 thinking check out was 11 and realized it was 10. Also I walked to my hotel for tonight...I think I just confirmed I accidentally booked a love hotel when speaking to the staff

[lusty tangle]

[pine maple]

@fleet bough did you get the classroom themed room?

[lusty tangle]

shibuya/shinjuku area

[fleet bough]

Hey now, I got suckered by these other guys to change my flight while at the club. Might as well spread the fun

[queen wigeon]

Haha, as long its cheap

[fleet bough]

Idk yet. I'll send updates when I'm allowed to actually check in later😂

[fleet bough]

I think @frank jetty was planning something tonight

[queen wigeon]

Why isnt a group going on in Osaka tonight? 😥

[pine maple]

That bartender in Golden Gai last night was hilarious. So glad we got him in a pic

[fleet bough]

Be the change you wanna see 🤝🤝 I'm sure you can get a group going in Dotonbori

[fleet bough]

Honestly agreed. If anyone wants a good time in Golden Gai, go find the pin I dropped last night. Really cool guy

[shut goblet]

who thaught him all that stuff tho 😭 😂

[pine maple]

yeah, super friendly too. He let us literally take over the whole bar

[fair latch]

I wish I remembered all those curse words

[pine maple]

plus he'll teach you how to say all kinds of dirty shit

sorry...dirty kuso

@fair latch you are the one from Seattle right?

[frank jetty]

Sorry if this is super obvious but where is this at?

Thanks!

Maybe I'm stupid but I feel like SD cards here are way more expensive than overseas...or am I looking in the wrong place? I checked Yodabashi and Bic and prices even converted are way higher

Anyone know where I can pick up a reasonably priced SD card in shinjuku or ginza?

[queen wigeon]

Wish I could give you my 512gb spare.😓

Just arrived at osaka, wont be able to checkin till 3pm. Does anyone free to walk around? :))

[fickle goblet]

If you’re going to Ginza just continue to Akihabara

[queen wigeon]

So many "happy time" in my area so far 🙉

[fickle goblet]

There’s a PC shop next to the KFC

They sell proper priced SD cards

Big box stores here rip you off

[queen wigeon]

Love osaka so far.

[harsh fox]

Ayyy the peer pressure worked!

[harsh fox]

Waking up now

[tardy lodge]

Osaka is great. Personally, I like it better than Tokyo.

[tranquil pumice]

Just arrived in Tokyo(30M), looking for people to have drinks with tonight! Is this the most active place to look for others or is there a line group like there was in March?

[mild sedge]

Line group is here https://line.me/ti/g/Nt47E8udcv

Not as bustling as it was back in spring, but you can give it a go

There’s a WhatsApp as well
https://tokyo.notquitesolotravel.com

This channel is pretty active though!

One group has been organised here #1139523063667507380 message

I’m going out to a show

Other attempts to gather people have kinda been swept away by discussion but there are definitely people about keen to hang

If you’re here next week, do check this out… https://discord.com/channels/440956791426383882/1165244271398498314

[tranquil pumice]

I'm here all month so this should be very helpful. Thank you so much!

[tribal lichen]

Anyone in Hiroshima right now? Wanna meet?

[hollow tundra]

How is the weather? Was gonna go, but the app said it was supposed to be supper rainy

[tribal lichen]

Literally just sprinkles of rain all gone now

[hollow tundra]

Should have gone then 😅

Will try tomorrow

[tribal lichen]

I had no choice as my next hotel is here

[mystic stone]

Well i caught the wrong train hahaha still going to kyoto but wont be able to see mt fuji 😭

Can i see mt fuji from Kyoto to osaka bullet train?

[mild sedge]

The train between Kyoto and Osaka? No, it's nowhere near there...

You can see it on the train between Osaka/Kyoto and Tokyo

[mystic stone]

Bloodyhell. This is so sad. I got to excited to catch the stupid train hahaha

[mild sedge]

That's a very different train ride, how did you get the wrong one...

[mystic stone]

Im on my way to kyoto. I got on 5 mins early train. Hahahaha im still gonna end up in kyoto. Its just that i paid to be on the right side of this train hahahaha

[mild sedge]

Ohh

If you're in the non-reserved car you can switch seats to the right side. Otherwise you can stand between the carriages and look out the window there

[mystic stone]

Omgosh. I missed it! The moutains and clouds looks all the sameeeee

[mystic stone]

I bought the reserved seat hahahaa

[mild sedge]

If you're on the wrong train then surely you haven't reserved a seat there...

[mystic stone]

Oh well. Im not meant to see mt. Fuji this trip 😭 the universe isnt allowing me to. Maybe next year

[fickle goblet]

How much?

The train between Kyoto and Osaka takes 30 minutes and costs ¥500

[queen wigeon]

Well, you have to catch some local train, depend on where u at as well.

[dawn lintel]

Whats the move tonight?
