[elfin solstice]

Most likely the 23rd

I hope it’s still all blooms at that time

[orchid badger]

Youre sweet Thank u❤️

It is a bad habit but real fun one

[iron thunder]

Nice! I'll be going in 2 weeks as well probably on the 24th. We can meetup to go around f you want. Looks like others are going as well. 🌸

[fair monolith]

I’m going on the 20th 😦

It looks like it’s flowering well though

https://kaikainfo.i-ra.jp/

[iron thunder]

Nice! Maybe we can meet each other there. I'll be around on the 24th. If you plan to visit other areas nearby Tokyo like Fuji or Nikko I think Tokyo Wide Pass is worth.

[shut pawn]

Some pics from last night. Unfortunately all the pics are bad from the dark pubs lol, had wrong settings on camera. Going to post other Shinjuku street photo pics i took last night into #photos

[torpid mulch]

Is that the dude from the new Spider Man movies behind you in that last photo?!?!?

[iron thunder]

That's too bad. Enjoy your trip! and hopefully by the time I am there the cherry blossoms are still blooming

[shut pawn]

😂 no idea, could be?!! (I havent seen the movie!)

[lucid magnet]

anyone who is in sapporo now could you please tell me if i should wear my boots or if sneakers will be okay with the snow? 🙏 i am heading there tomorrow

[neon scroll]

I was there a few days ago, would recommend boots

[bleak panther]

Looks so fun

[shut pawn]

It was first time playing beer pong for me and sure it was fun!!

[tardy panther]

I am wearing boots

I recommend boots

[crisp prism]

The bartenders from Bar Psy, trying to hand cuff each other.

[worthy lynx]

I see people wearing sneakers, but yeah if you're out for a long time they are gonna be soaked

[ornate olive]

You in Nishishinjuku?

[crisp prism]

@ornate olive thats from last night.

[lusty gulch]

Literally the best bartenders ever

[dim birch]

Is it Lunar New Year?

[thorny path]

Boots

[cosmic siren]

I’m going there too and I’m getting some boots today, the snow we had in Tokyo a couple days ago was enough to soak my water repellent sneakers

[tiny bridge]

I will be in Tokyo between 21-29. Down to hangout

Hey there, I will be in Tokyo between 21-29. Down to hangout

Yeah. I’m jamming out on the fiddle in Meguro for a bit then coming back to Okubo for the bacon show

[stone needle]

[rotund cradle]

@halcyon quarry @timid breach thanks for the drinks and grub! Share a photo as you jam!

[thorny path]

Pray for @worthy lynx that he doesn't get kicked out of several Izakayas tonight

[vernal ridge]

I am doing something very similar (25th feb-8th march), 50/50 between tokyo/osaka, first time solo travelling, from Australia

[split meadow]

Anyone up to grab some drinks around shinjuku?

[thorny path]

@timid breach I need you to do this for me sometime 😄

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_xMsfAelpo

[tulip hull]

@thorny path Which one are yall planning to hit next?

[thorny path]

Hit what?

Oh Izakayas?

I'm not out at Izakayas, just him.

I don't drink 😄

[tulip hull]

Oo gotcha

[thorny path]

I don't drink or do karaoke, hence I always skip those meetups

[worthy lynx]

Lol all the prayers worked, got it in on the first try, went to a bar bar with friends, like 12 people poured in after us for a company event, and we had a nice chat. So many jouzus. Honestly best bar experience yet

[bleak panther]

Kanpai

[thorny path]

[thorny path]

You still out or did you make it back to the hotel?

[stoic horizon]

[stoic horizon]

Miguel was so cool

[potent torrent]

Lots of music too

[ornate olive]

What was the crowd like at bacon? Have any video that shows how it was inside ?

[low mauve]

https://www.instagram.com/stories/goodnight.fm/

[timid breach]

Didn’t want to put out the people behind me but there were a looot of people going crazy for the hyperpop/techno

[timid breach]

I believe it lol

[low mauve]

A friend of mine got decked by one of the Neverland bouncers on the street (they drew blood) and he was able to sue them for the medical expenses

[stoic horizon]

Dude the crowd at bacon was drippy afffff. Everyone looked so good lmao

[gusty jolt]

Every time I went there the bouncers were nice and polite maybe since then they change their act. The only thing was it was too packed. I’m surprised they let that many people in there I mean it was shoulder to shoulder. It was more packed than a Tokyo train in rush-hour .

But overall, the energy was amazing. There was a couple fights that were about to happen, but the people were able to talk it out

[lusty gulch]

Yeah bouncers were cool with us and the people legit loved us there lol

[steady zealot]

Lol just saw this, we just left that

If I remember you properly from this Discord last year, did you go last year too? The layout is so much better this year, it's not even funny

[orchid badger]

Not familiar with Japans snowboarding unfortunately, gomen

[orchid badger]

Yeees

[orchid badger]

Noiceeeeee

Good party man, i had a Lot of fun. This sjit was so lit. Top nights in Tokyo so far

[tardy panther]

Wait do you get in the back 😆

[worthy lynx]

Also I got rejected from an izakaya again lol. But this time it legitimately may be because it was busy, the dude even offered if I wanted to come back a couple of hours later

[tardy panther]

Ah sounds legit this time at least

I was asked if I wanted to come in and I rejected them

Too much bar food needed a real meal

[worthy lynx]

Did you come in and then so the 🙅‍♂️ gesture lol

[tardy panther]

He was outside by the sign of the restaurants

[worthy lynx]

Also did you have any standout places in Hakodate?

[worthy lynx]

Oh noes, cute waitress is at crabs, sad lol

[torpid mulch]

There's a soccer game going on too RN???

[naive olive]

Liverpool vs Manchester United?

[hexed bluff]

For sakura-chasers in Feb, which would you recommend - Atami or Kawazu? I've been to Kawazu last year and it was great. Now I'm thinking if the sakura in Atami will be as full bloom as in Kawazu. I noticed their flowers is a much lighter shade of pink.

[gusty jolt]

2 plates of stake & chips & salsa I only paid 2000 yen 😁

[torpid mulch]

lol. it was kind of joke question, but thanks. 🙂

[timid breach]

Just woke up

Close game huh

closeness was a recent development

It's been pretty one-sided up to this point

[gusty jolt]

Yeah

[gusty jolt]

There was more 49 fans

[torpid mulch]

[gusty jolt]

@torpid mulch at the end it was crazy people were going wild & some Lady threw her beer everywhere on accident I got soaked lol

Overall im glad i went

[torpid mulch]

[gusty jolt]

She was an All Star coach sign her up 😂

[gusty jolt]

Anyone know a good spot to buy souvenirs?

[timid breach]

Depends on what you want to get

[stoic horizon]

Donki is the go to place for affordable souvenirs tbh

I personally really like LOFT and Tokyo Hands for souvenirs

I just killed this udon

[steel yarrow]

tbh, I'm a bit fan of this before and after framing

[stoic horizon]

Lmaoo thank you

[lucid magnet]

does anyone want to come to an alleged bib gourmand restaurant with me in shinjuku on tuesday or wednesday this week for dinner? it requires reservation and minimum 2 people

[stoic horizon]

What kinda food is it?

https://maps.app.goo.gl/evtNxhgCWMcPNjVRA?g_st=ic

[lucid magnet]

https://maps.app.goo.gl/EiYyAkWfZeeTqSLLA?g_st=ic

[knotty crest]

what do you mean alleged Michelin has a website you can look it up 😭

[knotty crest]

Read about this yesterday, how bad is the line?

[lucid magnet]

because i can’t find it but my friend insists it is lol

[stoic horizon]

No worries! I have a bunch of places pinned on my map for food and shopping. I can share them if anyone wants

[stoic horizon]

I arrived at 11:45, was inside and had my food at 12:40!

[stoic horizon]

I can’t find it on the Michelin site. Could be that it was a bib gourmand at one point but they removed it from the guide

I’m doing dinner with my mom and sister tomorrow evening but if anyone wants to grab some dinner/drinks in Tokyo tonight lemme know!

[knotty crest]

55 minutes isn't that bad. 11:45 is after open too, isn't it?

[stoic horizon]

I think it opens at 11:30! By the time I got to the front of the line the line had almost doubled in size though. I feel like by 12:30 it’s a 2 hour wait

[knotty crest]

I'm thinking if I got there at 11:00 it would maybe be an even shorter wait.

[stoic horizon]

Big brain move 😎

[knotty crest]

usually you show up way before opening for popular restaurants

although my Tonkatsu joint the real pro tip is to go an hour or two before close

I've gone twice later at night and virtually no wait

I dropped by at lunch on Saturday and there was an insane line.

[stoic horizon]

Ok okkk any good tonkatsu recs? I’ve only been to butagumi and tonkatsu maisen

[timid breach]

Sounds fun ive always wanted to try the private dining stuff

[knotty crest]

I could tell you, but then I'd have one less seat :^)

Anyways it's out in Ueno https://dishes-japan.com/shop/tonkatsu-yamabe/

[timid breach]

Ueno always has the gems

[stoic horizon]

Ohhh that looks so good

[knotty crest]

I'd recommend around 6:30-7PM dinner, usually not too busy by then. But ymmv.

[lucid magnet]

does 19:00/7pm work for you?

[timid breach]

Which day

[dusk forum]

Hey guys I’ll be in Shinjuku till 3/15. Looking forward to meeting up with you guys!

[timid breach]

Also down to chill

[timid breach]

[lucid magnet]

[timid breach]

I guess i’ll meet y’all in ikebukuro lol

[leaden lark]

Im pretty close to the East exit, 35

[stoic horizon]

Amazing

[timid breach]

I was gonna walk there from Shin Okubo but I can do that on the way back lol

[stoic horizon]

[potent torrent]

@bleak panther think I will hit aki first. It's closest to me. Then shibuya tonight. I wasted half a day getting my e card working 😦

[bleak panther]

[bleak panther]

I’ll join too, I had to come back to hotel it was too hot. Had to drop off coat

[lavish fern]

Yall know anywhere that would sell secondhand tamagotchis

Getting one for my friend

[lavish fern]

Word word ty I may go there first before I head to kichijoji

[stoic horizon]

Llheaded to that exit right now

[leaden lark]

Im right by it, probably the tallest one around, brown coat

[low mauve]

Bunch of us going to the indie rock gig at Shimokitazawa Flowers Loft today, but anyone who wants more club music this party at Hatagaya Forest Limit is absolutely bangin'
https://www.ddinstagram.com/p/C3NZznVvgHL/

[lavish fern]

No luck with mandarake my friend said their shit was overpriced but tbf they’re unopened (the tamagotchis) and rather get used

Heading to kichijoji finally

I may come back out for that show famous last words

[rotund cradle]

@lavish fern Are you looking for a retro one or newer one?

[lavish fern]

I believe my friend is looking for a retro one

[ornate olive]

Anyone interested IMO one of the best Yakiniku experiences in Tokyo next Wednesday. We need minimum 3 people for a table and it’s ~22,000 yen each

https://s.tabelog.com/en/tokyo/A1303/A130302/13211927/

[spring dove]

Awww man !

[carmine jolt]

22000 yen 💀🤯

[ornate olive]

Fav meal in Tokyo worth every penny

[carmine jolt]

Thats nearly double my monthly food budget 💀

Nah I’m sure it’s good 🤤

[carmine jolt]

Or at least if I stick to budget that is 😅

[bleak panther]

What’s the price?

[carmine jolt]

I think it was somewhere around 4000-6000yen pp

Can’t remember exactly though

[halcyon quarry]

@bleak panther 6000 for all you can eat + all you can eat formula ! There is also higher option to pay 2000 more to get even higher quality beef, but that depends on you 🙂

[proper estuary]

is there a group getting dinner tonight anywhere in Tokyo?

[carmine jolt]

I’m down

Unless I need to pay a fortune then I’ll just stick to the conbini 💀

But idk about anything organised?

[proper estuary]

i'm just looking for some ramen or izakaya food for 1000-2000yen haha

[proper estuary]

still looking for plans?

[shut pawn]

Would anyone be interested in going to a music gig in Tokyo this saturday or sunday? For example https://www.instagram.com/p/C3NB3wFSbck/

Im interested. Are u going there by public transport/taxi?

Or u have a car?

[proper estuary]

Haven’t worked out logistics yet but it sounds like taxis will take you there but I’m not sure if they come there to pick people up

Although now the taxis can be hailed by Uber so maybe it’s possible

[shut pawn]

🤔 hmm yea

[copper cape]

depends on how much u guys wanna spend, i did a tour in a custom r34, went to daikoku, souvenir shop and wangan & c1 loop super worth it

but yeah daikoku 10/10 🙂

[carmine jolt]

Sexy

[tardy panther]

Anything going on

Happy birthday 🥳

[potent torrent]

Thank you 😊

[cosmic siren]

Anyone in Sapporo for dinner/hanging out?

[potent torrent]

Anyone one want to meet up with me in Harijuku/Shinjuku tonight? Could use a friend or two to have birthday dinner with 😁 lots of themed cafes down there and we'll street food too

[ornate olive]

If you like tonkatsu you’re welcome to join me. I’m on a quest to find the best in Tokyo and apparently this one is up there

https://s.tabelog.com/en/tokyo/A1305/A130503/13003984/

[potent torrent]

Deal! What time?

[ornate olive]

Sounds good! 5:30-6 at the latest id say so not a huge line. Closer to 5:30 is better if you can make it

[thorn vault]

Got room for one more? I’ll join as well!

[ornate olive]

If you mean for the tonkatsu ? Sure!

Let’s meet at takadanobaba station 5:30?

[thorn vault]

Sounds good 👌

[ornate olive]

@potent torrent work for you?

[potent torrent]

Yes, I'm on my way. Google maps says I will get there at 5:17

[ornate olive]

Ok great see y’all there

[potent torrent]

See you there

Oh wait. It'll be 5:11 t takadanobaba

I have a light blue hoodie on and black jeans. Red backpack.

[lavish fern]

Going there tonight!

I need to recharge a bit at the hotel tho

[potent torrent]

A few of us are headed for tonkatsu in Shinjuku. You are more than welcome to join if you want. We are meeting there around 5:30. Scroll up here for the address link. Will be out wandering Shin after too.

[real wharf]

i filled this out for the rinne day 1 event yesterday but the staff at the venue didn't seem to know what it was 😦 they asked me if i had a ticket or email confirmation and i had neither so i paid full price

[lavish fern]

I’ll prob pass unfortunately, I’m already halfway to my hotel and mostly want to sit a bit until 6

But if the night is still going maybe I’ll head back out (famous last words)

[potent torrent]

😆

[lavish fern]

It’s been pretty bad with jet lag

Like I just need to not sit in my bed so I’ll prob hang in the lobby and grab a coffee or something

[potent torrent]

Where did you fly in from?

[lavish fern]

Atlanta, landed Sunday afternoon

Last night was really bad, fell asleep twice before 12 and kept waking up this morning

[low mauve]

Maybe you were too late, when did you do it?

[lavish fern]

Oh stay up until 11pm they said, you will beat the jet lag they said……

Liars

[potent torrent]

I slept 10 hrs straight the first night

[lavish fern]

God bless you

I’ll try that next time I fly into Japan

[real wharf]

the morning of... how early does it need to be filled?

[lavish fern]

Tomorrow should be a bit more liberating, only disneysea planned but. Imagine that’s a half day kinda deal

So I’m definitely down to meet up

[low mauve]

Hmm then I’m not sure. Cutoff for reservations varies but most organisers keep them open during the day of and I wasn’t told any differently this time

[potent torrent]

Sounds fun! I'm very tempted.

[low mauve]

Organiser’s discretion really. If they had been rejecting reservations but didn’t tell me there’s not much I can do :/

I have the form set up to send you a confirmation email now so you’d have that at least

I will ask them later when they start responding to my messages again, sorry for the fuss

[carmine jolt]

This offer still up?

[steady zealot]

If so I'd be afraid for their souls, that was 2 days ago

[potent torrent]

My train late 15 . Go grab seats if you need to and I can meet you in there

So crowded

[spring dove]

Wish I had seen this earlier

@potent torrent @ornate olive Lmk if y’all are doing something after… I’m headed to wards shubuya around. 7

[potent torrent]

Will be in shin and maybe Harijuku

[bleak panther]

Ooo yes I’m relaxing at my hotel rn in shinjuku if y’all do anything after in the area lemme know too

[ornate olive]

That’s fine we can wait idk if you can join if we go in. Hopefully not a long line

[potent torrent]

At harijuku Station. Apparently trains delayed due to earthquake??

[spring dove]

Wasn’t that in fushimi

[ornate olive]

I just got to the station. Waseda exit I’m in a black down and hat and blue jeans

[potent torrent]

No idea. Reading that on the signs in the train.

Almost there

[thorn vault]

Almost there

[spring dove]

Well my dinner just flopped

They are reso only and by phone only

Or they don’t like tourists

Either way

[grand jewel]

I got a confirmation like this, is this what I should show to the staff when I arrive? (this one's for tomorrow night)

[low mauve]

They will ask for your name at the desk, but showing them your name on this instead may be easier

[grand jewel]

Cool, thanks

[spring dove]

@ornate olive How long is your wait

[ornate olive]

Idk we’re not there yet but it shouldn’t be that long rn I imagine

[spring dove]

Okeee

I’m headed in that direction… would take me 40 mins to reach

[potent torrent]

I'm here.

Standing in front starbucjs

[ornate olive]

Probably a stretch tbh

[ornate olive]

Where is Starbucks

[potent torrent]

Second floor

Top of escslators

[ornate olive]

Come to waseda exit

[potent torrent]

Ok

So lost... I think I found it

[timid breach]

[ornate olive]

Where did you go?

[timid breach]

I’m in Shinjuku still

[ornate olive]

We’re right in front of the waseda exit

[ornate olive]

It’s called tonta

[timid breach]

The one in takadanobaba?

[ornate olive]

[low mauve]

[neon scroll]

Borderless or planets

[lavish fern]

Planets

I’m doing borderless next week so crossed fingers

[low mauve]

What sucked about it

[lavish fern]

Some of the artwork wasn’t as immersive as I would have thought

Just felt small or very short to look at

I’m nit picky, it was fine but it wasn’t as intriguing as I would think, just felt like cool Instagram shots

I think the led ones were prob the best

[proper estuary]

@ornate olive At me when you get here so you find us 👍

[potent torrent]

In front of a store called UniQlo

[bleak panther]

I’m about 8 mins from there

[potent torrent]

[worthy lynx]

I dunno man, konbini cream bun hits just right, it's definitely nothing to do with 51g of sugar

[tardy panther]

It makes a great breakfast

[shut pawn]

Cool, 30min to Shinjuku station

[bleak panther]

Kk see ya then

[shut pawn]

[lavish fern]

It was a foreigner there was no one else trying to get it

Dude made eye contact with me after I looked over he knew what he did 😂

I waited a few stops and got one no sweat

Not my first rodeo, I ride trains all the time

[torpid mulch]

@lavish fern Have you given up your seat to an elderly Japanese person yet?

[lavish fern]

Why you ask

[torpid mulch]

b/c that is also a test of one's train-riding prowess when in Japan

[bleak panther]

I did that in Kyoto she was so sweet

[lavish fern]

I’ve done it twice since I’ve been here

[bleak panther]

But usually I just stand

[torpid mulch]

An old man had a stand off with me once when I did this

I had to insist over and over

[lavish fern]

I’ll stand if my ride is short

[torpid mulch]

but he took the seat and promptly fell asleep 😂

[lavish fern]

Good for him

[ornate olive]

Sry didn’t have service down there. It’s called mosaic in shimo

[rotund cradle]

I’m heading towards Shinjuku station if you guys are still kicking around.

[harsh terrace]

I don’t know how those salaryman fall asleep on trains and then wake up exactly at their stop

[bleak panther]

Yessir

[bleak panther]

Still at kabuchiko tower

[shut pawn]

[next saffron]

Anyone wanna go to the night gig of this with me, it will be the first night of my trip so i might be a little tired but I really wanna go to LOFT https://www.ddinstagram.com/p/C10eHueSwDE/

[lavish fern]

Think imma knock out Disney sea early to do other things like hit up shinjuku and Ginza

[gusty jolt]

hey everybody, today’s my last day here in Tokyo. I had a very great time. Thank you for everybody that hung out with me and shared an awesome experience with me. I hope everybody has a good time here. I can’t wait to come back if you guys want to keep in touch feel free to reach out, if you guys want to hang out, I’m gonna be in Shibuya from 10 AM to 4 PM.

and a little bit of advice for people coming in into Tokyo learn the train systems before you get here 😆

[grand jewel]

safe travels!

[potent torrent]

No joke on the trains!!! Safe travels!

[gritty spindle]

O.o I just use the google maps xD it works great outside of the large stations. but as soon as I am in Tokyo/Shibuya I get terribly lost

[gusty jolt]

I’ve used train systems in Los Angeles and in New York so I thought this is going to be easy for me. It was easy to learn after a couple of days due to trial and error, but I still found myself being lost at times like @ Shinjuku station 🤣

[gritty spindle]

Did you print out a map or just use an app? I have a friend coming in to Tokyo who I won't be able to guide for the first few days as I wrap up other things. I told him to use google maps but now I'm afraid he might get lost in a station just like that game on steam xD

[harsh terrace]

I just use Google maps last time in Tokyo

[gusty jolt]

I was using Google maps and I didn’t print out anything but I will share a link that will help them understand the train system

[harsh terrace]

Only had one time where I got confused

[gusty jolt]

let me guess it was at Shinjuku lol

[gritty spindle]

That would be awesome. I don't want their first time to be soured wandering around for hours in a country where they can't speak the language

[harsh terrace]

Yeah I think so lol

[gusty jolt]

because there they will say like jy but they don’t say it’s a JR train

[gritty spindle]

^ That screwed me a few times

[harsh terrace]

We got on a train that was not suica card able once also like we we’re supposed to buy tickets

Train man came to us and made us pay in a thing though

handheld card reader he was holding

[gusty jolt]

[rotund cradle]

@gusty jolt Did you hear? All flights to US are canceled until further notice. 👀

[harsh terrace]

What the really

[gusty jolt]

No

Really?

[harsh terrace]

how come are we terrorists ?

[rotund cradle]

Yeah, no need to check, waste of time. Just unpack

[harsh terrace]

lol

[gusty jolt]

OMFG

[steady zealot]

Google has been just fine for Tokyo transit so far this trip imo

[gusty jolt]

@rotund cradle send a link

[rotund cradle]

lol i'm fucking with you bro

[gusty jolt]

🤣🤣🤣 You Bastard lol

You got me sooo Good 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[gusty jolt]

Nice

[steady zealot]

This was probably a limited express train or a special one that needs an additional ticket on top of the basic fare, I ran into one of those between Kyoto and Osaka once

[harsh terrace]

Yeah I think it was express

we were sitting down also

It was business class or something

[steady zealot]

Luckily if you're polite and apologetic, service workers are generally understanding about transit mixups in my experience

My rule of thumb is, simply don't be the worst tourist they encounter that day lol

[gusty jolt]

it’s hard to be rude to such polite people

It was nice not being around toxic people and toxic employees

if you lived in Los Angeles, then you know what I mean

[thorny path]

Yeah workers in Japan once they realize you're a tourist and you own up to your mistake are usually very forgiving and helpful

They realize that you simply don't know any better and once they realize that you've realized you made a mistake and are willing to rectify it

Everything is calm and good

[potent torrent]

hi everyone. What's your plan today? I'm headed to the sky tree and aquarium right now.

[proper estuary]

https://open.spotify.com/concert/5wdVPi5EJZJ6AMAHgfFWDC?si=yAfZj-HNR2uvU92UJsRuRw anyone interested in going to this?

[rotund cradle]

They are real nice, you start picking up on things like when they keep repeating 'baka gaijin'... I think it loosely translates to 'distant hero' or something

[thorny path]

Going to check out ninjas

[potent torrent]

Fun!

I'm going to Harijuko later

[lavish fern]

As someone who has transit on NYC, Chicago, Bay Area public transit Tokyo was one of the harder ones to get adjusted to

But it’s so organized for how concentrated the place is

You just can’t get intimidated and be okay fumbling getting around

[stoic horizon]

This might be a long shot but is anyone going to disneysea today?😂

[timid breach]

Honestly it’s made much worse by how much of it is under renovations lmao

[timid breach]

I’m hitting disneyland first but i might hop over to disneysea if I get everything I need to get done early

[timid breach]

Remember to use the app! It’ll save your life

[potent torrent]

Anyone want to meet up at Harijuku this afternoon ?

[stoic horizon]

Ok ok will do!

[timid breach]

All these students that seem like they’re playing hooky to go to Disneyland is such a mood

[tardy panther]

Going to teamlabs today. Might just hang out with people after

@gusty jolt where you going to be in shinjuku

[gusty jolt]

I was thinking about getting some Mexican food

In shibuya

[thorny path]

[tardy panther]

[tardy panther]

[thorny path]

[tardy panther]

Will do

[gusty jolt]

[bleak panther]

[gusty jolt]

Shabooya roll call

[gusty jolt]

[potent torrent]

Okay the Samida Aquariym here at the Sky Tree is also pretty cool IMO

[lavish fern]

Yes

[knotty crest]

I am a fan of the garden eels

[lavish fern]

Bruh I got my borderless ticket but it’s for the day I fly back

You think they will let me go in earlier

[gusty jolt]

@low mauve thanks 😎

[lavish fern]

What time were you gonna go

[tardy panther]

You can change it 3 times but everything is booked out

[lavish fern]

I booked it on Klook I don’t think I can change it

[tardy panther]

Do you have an email with the ticket link?

[lavish fern]
