[glass moat]

Where go? @grim jewel

[inland copper]

Oh man it’s so windy

[rain mesa]

It's such a stupid show but oarai has like a legit little museum to the show and apparently they even put up some character over the town. A dude made a mfing pilgrimage map to all the sites that were in the show lmao

[timber nova]

Where are y'all at? I'm on lvl 2 arcades

[glass moat]

We went to 4f

[somber skiff]

Sorry for a random question. Going to Tokyo tmrw, and i got no plans yet (maybe going to Yokohama and Kamakura?) Haven't booked hotel yet. It is not my first time going to Tokyo so I just want good food and chill lol if anyone is down please lmk
26M btw

[dawn cave]

That sounds good

[dawn cave]

9 more days

[tribal fractal]

You guys gonna be there much longer? I kinda want to come but it'll be at least an hour before I can make it

[tribal fractal]

Sounds like a plan, we can figure out the details on the day

[inland copper]

I’ve gotta find them first

[inland copper]

Are y’all still at the round 1?

[glass moat]

We unfortunately cannot have anyone else

We booked a karaoke room already

I am sorry:(

[random fossil]

Perfect excuse for me to stay in my hotel room then 🤣

[robust gazelle]

Can’t anymore we full booked the room and can’t leave now 😂

[tribal fractal]

Us rejects could still meet up

Or I could go to bed on time for once

[random fossil]

I'm already in my hotel in Asakusa feeling lazy

My plan tomorrow is to go to the Japan post office and see how expensive it is to ship all the merch I bought to Canada

I hope they sell shipping boxes

[inland copper]

I’ll find a bite to eat and head back to Akiba then 😔

[slate verge]

idk how much itd be but it might be worth it to buy bigger luggage here and check it in bc for my airline it’s only $50 for less than 50 pounds

[random fossil]

Yeah its probably less paperwork too

Can I check my luggage like 24h in advance of my flight?

[tribal fractal]

If you're buying a suitcase I recommend Ginza Karen https://g.co/kgs/22PHM2f

Got a large decent quality one last year for like 6000 yen

[random fossil]

I already bought a medium sized one in Osaka to replace the carry-on size one I brought that was broken

Guess I'll have to do some Tetris to try to fit all my stuff in

[spring wigeon]

hey, is anyone using an eSIM app? I have airalo but when I get into the train station it stops working 8/10. Anyone have any recs?? 🥹

[sterile furnace]

Ubigi
#internet-sims-pocketwifi
#1092103190671012000

Airalo may be fine - would check the APN settings and possibly force it to "not roam" networks

Or it could just be a mobile signal issue

It's only one person (me), but I've had no signal issues with Ubigi, even underground (at least none, I remember - and I've used them multiple times in Japan)

[idle smelt]

I have used airlo /saily / gigsky

I had faces the same issues of losing connectivity but then I had to manually select network in the sim settings and it was fine

Saily really had good speed

Gigsky was alright

[spring wigeon]

ahh thank you everyone!!! 🫶🏼

yeah I got lost underground and then my maps crashed and there was no connection so I just kept wandering around until I could find free WiFi lol

[jovial quartz]

Sweet! Booked shibuya sky ticket for 18th

[scarlet heart]

Solid time. We went at the 14:00 hour and it was really pretty. I know everyone wants the sunset hour but they’re impossible to get

[marble knoll]

[robust gazelle]

Very nice

[glass moat]

Yeah he beat us up to a pulp for not liking ike

Then he forced drinks down pur throat

And made us sing for him like monkeys

😦

He even shot the ground with his gun and mafe us dance

Isn't that right @robust gazelle

[broken apex]

Actually if I’m a monkey I can’t sing “like a monkey”

[glass moat]

You guys made a japanese league account to play there ?

[little jewel]

either this or decided to play with 3 billion ping lmao

[gloomy snow]

i will just make a Japanese league account then, incase i decide to play on my visit

[somber plover]

Doesn't it work somewhat differently, at least with pcbangs in Korea where you get all the champs since you're playing at a net cafe? But also I'm probably misremembering

[dawn cave]

By Sky Tree not too bad

Anybody doing anything tn im coming to Tokyo for my last 9 days

[glass moat]

Yeeeessss

The ping isn't too bad playing on NA servers though

[sturdy cipher]

I wanna join! Everyone's meeting at the cafe entrance or...?

[glass moat]

Most likely but we're not going until 3pm

Bring ur passport

[glass moat]

Yes wanker. U play?

[empty light]

Just landed in Tokyo late last night was going to do the harajuku area today while working on the jet lag any places around that area people recommend going to do yoyogi and jingu shrine while out

[grim jewel]

[glass moat]

[empty light]

Thanks says gyoen is closed on Monday. Will try to do that one later in the week @glass moat

[grim jewel]

[glass moat]

We probs will

Will keep u updated ❤️

[long bloom]

ahaha

[tribal fractal]

Are there any non-league things happening today?

[random fossil]

Guess I'll head to Yoyogi, I haven't been yet and my return flight is tomorrow

[woven zephyr]

Yoyogi is full of hardcore runners every morning at like 630-7. I've never felt so slow in my life

[grim jewel]

thanks luv♡

[toxic ice]

damn it’s league day today?

too bad i probably shouldn’t play given i had lasik yesterday 💀

[glass moat]

Respect to you for doing that. That shit looks terrifying lmao

[toxic ice]

it was terrifying during the surgery and super painful taking the train home

then i slept it off and now im chilling

20/20 vision

maybe ill play tft though when im home,,,,

[glass moat]

I'm glad you're doing better

[toxic ice]

have to make the most of 休憩

[glass moat]

Bro you have better vision 😤 it's time to quit league

[toxic ice]

for now im chilling at a cheap shitty izakaya by my doc’s office enjoying ¥50 highballs

[glass moat]

Damn is this in kabukicho

[toxic ice]

nope, tenma in osaka

im a kansai boy 😂

[random fossil]

I had Lasik 5 years ago, take care of yourself

[toxic ice]

my recovery is going surprisingly well

no pain at all day 1 after

[rain vector]

Yoyogi in the am is awesome

Shinjuku gyo-en park aswell in the am

[woven zephyr]

the fall colors are really nice in both locations right now also. Gyo-en is large enough not to feel crowded in the afternoon which is nice too (unlike yoyogi)

[glass moat]

Hmu whenever you're in tokyo!

[tribal fractal]

Is shibuya sky worth going to if you've already done skytree and Tokyo tower?

[toxic ice]

ofc ofc! my company’s main office is in tokyo anyways so i always have an excuse to come back

[rain vector]

Shibuya sky is the best of them all

Daytime shibuya sky is a must

[tribal fractal]

Oh damn really? I was planning on going there for the sunset, but I guess I could head there now

[rain vector]

Go during morning sunset and night

Each one is unique (at night] you can see shibuya lights

And at morning you can see shibuya during light : )

[marble knoll]

you need to reserve tickets online or pray for an instant ticket at hte counter (which is rare given its peak tourist time)

sunset is basically impossible even to reserve

[tribal fractal]

Oh I thought you could just pay for a day ticket or something

Well got 2 more weeks here I guess

[marble knoll]

if you're lucky on the day itself sometimes you can get like a mid-day slot

buuuuuut highly suggest reserving them online cause yknow

[tribal fractal]

Lmao just looked on trip.com and all tickets post 1pm are booked until after new years

Guess I'm seeing the morning skyline

[woven zephyr]

Have been pastry/coffee-hopping (coffee game here is 🤘) & am so full. So many places w/ 1-drink minimum

[cosmic kayak]

Should’ve came out then, dope 😠🩷

[random fossil]

I'm at Meiji Jingu shrine and its nice

[queen summit]

Is it windy today

Why does it feel like 2 degrees

[stable glen]

it was feeling like -3 last night on my weather app

i’ve never experienced this before

[glass moat]

What's your first experience of -3 like

[dawn cave]

Any nice foliage there?

[dawn cave]

How is everyone so cold lmao where you guys from Hawaii ?

[glass moat]

It hasn't been too bad

Wind chill is nasty regardless tho

But after walking some time in it, it's fine

[grim jewel]

During the day its so hot with a coat but and night its brrrrr

❄️

[leaden ice]

Night is cold af

[broken apex]

So what time was league meeting and where?

Only thing I may not do the whole 6 hours, but like 3 or 4

[random fossil]

Some trees already lost all their leaves

Im in Shibuya at the Pokemon Center, its cool to see but everything expensive AF 😆

[glass moat]

@broken apex 3pm

Bring passport

[dawn cave]

Why does a pc cafe need passport not even clubs require that lmfao

[glass moat]

Lmao no clue

[dawn cave]

That's bizarre

[glass moat]

U only need it once to sign up

[broken apex]

Rly? I didn’t feel like it was too expensive

[glass moat]

That's because you're euro

[broken apex]

Maybe that’s right 😂

[dawn cave]

Dollar and euro is only 5 cents difference

Aren't you from America @glass moat

[broken apex]

It depends on which dollar

[glass moat]

Canada

[dawn cave]

US

Lmaoo

[dawn cave]

That's why 💀

[glass moat]

Canada is closer to yen in prices

[broken apex]

See? 😂

[glass moat]

💀

Saber is also from canada

[dawn cave]

Womp womp get better currency

💀

[toxic ice]

haha canadians

[glass moat]

Womp womp i fuckin wish

[toxic ice]

[dawn cave]

Ikr imagine

[glass moat]

This seems to be the normal experience in discord

[toxic ice]

LOL

[glass moat]

We get shit on lmaoo

@spare hawk Hates us 😔

[dawn cave]

Is the queen still on ur money

[glass moat]

Good question. I haven't seen Canadian money in 3 months

[dawn cave]

When did you arrive ?

[remote summit]

Why are people bashing on Canada now

[random fossil]

Canadian dollar fell off in the past weeks

[dawn cave]

Fun

[remote summit]

Ah

[dawn cave]

Meanwhile dollar ↗️

[dawn cave]

No reason just kidding around

[glass moat]

[vale adder]

[glass moat]

Youre a different species of youre wearing shorts

[glass moat]

U live here?

[vale adder]

the subways and indoors are actually pretty hot

[dawn cave]

Nope

Lmaooo

How does that Karaoke place work in Golden Gai do you pay a set price for karaoke or per song

?

[tribal fractal]

Arts bar?

Pretty sure you just buy a drink and queue up your song when you get the tablet

Don't think there's a separate charge

[robust gazelle]

Too early

[glass moat]

Painfully true

[glass moat]

Ur fault for staying up late luv x

[glass moat]

Depends which karaoke

[robust gazelle]

Well I can meetup later or maybe enter later if you have space next to you

Won't make it for 3

[glass moat]

Tbh I think ill be there past 3 anyways ciz I still haven't left home lol

I also haven't eaten food yet

[robust gazelle]

4pm good x

[glass moat]

Ye

[robust gazelle]

😂

[glass moat]

@broken apex 4pm

[broken apex]

Oki

[robust gazelle]

(I didn't just wake up 30 mins ago)

Honest

My sleeping schedule is cooked

[glass moat]

"I gotta get up at 10" he said

[robust gazelle]

My alarm went off

I pressed snooze many times

[glass moat]

Ur first mistake was setting up an alarm

[remote summit]

I wake up before my alarm

[dawn cave]

Art bar specifically

[random fossil]

Any group dinner plans for today?

[glass moat]

Ya just order one drink and put in songs on karaoke tablet device

[leaden ice]

We desperately need a cheaper alternative to Art Bar by the time I come back

[glass moat]

Art bar fun

[random fossil]

I want a non-smoking alternative cause the country I come from understands the effects of second-hand smoke

[dawn cave]

Perfect that's how Barcode works in Kyoto how are the drinks strong ?

[dawn cave]

Why how much are the drinks ?

[dawn cave]

Almost every bar you can smoke in tho good luck finding one they don't allow

[queen summit]

Lies

[toxic ice]

good old barcode

was surprised to hear how popular it is

[sturdy cipher]

Meetup at the esports cafe still happening?

[dense kraken]

is it the one in shin okubo?

[tribal fractal]

There any dinner/drinks plans happening tonight?

[dawn cave]

That's what I want to known

[sturdy cipher]

I'm down for some food right now and later. I'm in the shinjuku area

[dawn cave]

I meant tn

😂

[tribal fractal]

I can head down to Shinjuku, but it'll be about an hour for me

[random fossil]

I got something quick to tide me over till the late dinner

[tribal fractal]

Tonight is technically later 🤔

[sturdy cipher]

Anytime is fine, i live a short walk away from shinjuku

[glass moat]

Yes 4pm

[grim jewel]

Having dinner in Shibuya with 1 other person if anyone wants to join!!

[glass moat]

I'm the worst person to ask because I'm a light weight lol

What ya havin

[grim jewel]

Ramen

Irish guy knows a good place

[glass moat]

Is it ichiran

I recommend tomato curry ramen if u can find that anywhere

Shit is a slapper

[random fossil]

I'm in Shibuya too, found a random cafe to sit down for a bit

[robust gazelle]

Agree

I need a place that does beer for 350 yen but also has karaoke

[tribal fractal]

Cool I could try getting there for 4 or 5?

[tribal fractal]

If this is an open invitation me and @sturdy cipher could join you instead? Shinjuku and shibuya are about the same distance from me

[dense kraken]

I'm down if there's room for more

[tribal fractal]

Think @FK_LilMac said they wanna hang on as well

[glass moat]

Anywhere has karaoke if you're brave enough

[random fossil]

Found this one on Google maps
https://maps.app.goo.gl/hqtwQt3FxofBnjJi6

[glass moat]

Your coat looks like it would survive the harshest winters though

Stylish and beats the shit out of snow storms

[toxic ice]

simply do not be cold

[slate verge]

[glass moat]

[dense kraken]

Including north face

Unsure about the size limits though

[dense kraken]

bookoff?

[glass moat]

Ye

[slate verge]

I went from sweating in the club in hawaii to freezing my ass off here

[dense kraken]

i didn't know they sold clothing I thought it was hobbyoff

[glass moat]

Not if u go to the clubs in tokyo lol 😆

[glass moat]

They sell all sorts of shit

It's neat

[dense kraken]

yea

[slate verge]

i wanna go to the book off super bazaar before I leave if anyone wanna join

[dense kraken]

hardoff is amazing

[glass moat]

i got some cheap jewelry from book off

And I think my skin doesn't like it

But 300 yen was a solid price

[slate verge]

oh nooo im like that too with fake gold especially in my piercings

[glass moat]

If you react I recommend staying away from the jewelry 😆

Usually smaller businesses that run pop up shops have better hypoallergenic jewelry but they cost more

Usually ranging from 1500-2100+ yen

[tribal fractal]

Nice, got a time and place in mind?

[slate verge]

gonna have a lil shopping spree tomorrow if im feeling better I’ll have to take a look ! @glass moat

[tribal fractal]

Wanna join michellini in shibuya or would you prefer staying in Shinjuku?

[random fossil]

Hentai!!

[glass moat]

Where is that?

[sturdy cipher]

[cinder girder]

[glass moat]

Toriki

[random fossil]

Im at mega Donki in Shibuya, wasting time until meetups

[tribal fractal]

Oh damn how many people can it usually fit?

I'm happy to just look around until someone accepts us lol

Also did I see someone mention bar hopping tn, or did I just make up a convo in my head?

[cinder girder]

they barely fit 3 of us last time we were there, we could go more but we'd probably end up sitting separately :////

[dense kraken]

Denny's

[robust gazelle]

Toriki will probably be quiet

Since it’s Monday

[cinder girder]

I'm down for toriki

[grim jewel]

toriki is ramen?

[glass moat]

No

[dense kraken]

anything on a stick

[glass moat]

Yakitori

[grim jewel]

[glass moat]

Decent place

[grim jewel]

Where is toriki?

[tribal fractal]

Wouldn't say no to a toriki

[glass moat]

It's a chain so it's everywhere I think

[tribal fractal]

It's a chain so there'll be a few

[grim jewel]

Ohhhh

[tribal fractal]

I'm happy with shibuya

Just went home to change into warmer clothes, then I'll head down if anyone wants to meet early

[grim jewel]

I can! I'm in Akihabara atm

[tribal fractal]

Awesome! No worries, it'll take me like 40 mins to get there anyway

[broken apex]

@glass moat I’m here, should i go in meanwhile?

Do we have a res?

[glass moat]

No res needed

[broken apex]

How many of us will be?

[glass moat]

[glass moat]

Unsure if you're still going or not @sturdy cipher

Oh ok

[broken apex]

[glass moat]

[tribal fractal]

Shibuya and I should be there in 30 mins

So far we're with 4

[tribal fractal]

I think @random fossil and @sturdy cipher wanted in, but ones at the internet cafe

[dense kraken]

is 7:30/8PM ok

[tribal fractal]

Maybe say 6 to be safe? Unless it costs more to reserve for more people

[glass moat]

I'm also down depending on time

[tribal fractal]

I'm fine with eating later, can just hang out with whoever's in shibuya until then

[grim jewel]

7.30 is good too if more can join that way

[glass moat]

730 works

[grim jewel]

oki so 7 ppl so far then?

[spring wigeon]

Is it okay if I join yall? 🫶🏼

[grim jewel]

yessss

[spring wigeon]

YAKITORI Torikizoku | Shinjuku Kabukicho Store is the place??

[grim jewel]

Shibuya

[spring wigeon]

that works still for me!

[cinder girder]

we might need 2 tables, its 6 per table right?

[spring wigeon]

Good thing I said something or I’d be in shinjuku 😭

[vale adder]

I'm down too

[tribal fractal]

Big group

I know one place that never disappoints sitting a large group

[vale adder]

can probably split if needed ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[tribal fractal]

Nah should be fine

[random fossil]

Better not get scammed with the Gaijin tax like last time 🤣

[tribal fractal]

That's something we can't avoid sadly

[grim jewel]

Me and @cinder girder are heading to Shibuya now @tribal fractal :)

[tribal fractal]

Cool my trains gonna pull in like 10

[grim jewel]

I'll be at Hachiko in 30 min

[tribal fractal]

Would anyone be disappointed in me if I suggested meeting up in a hub?

You already in shibuya @random fossil ?

[random fossil]

I'm wasting time in the mega Donki Shibuya

[tribal fractal]

Should I head over?

[random fossil]

Sure, it'll be a bit easier to meet here at bottom floor than in the big plazas

Like most people, I'm wearing almost all black 🤣
But I've got a ginger beard, should help to spot me in a group

[tribal fractal]

Map says 8 min walk

Green coat, white shoes, white turtleneck, brown man, should be easy enough to spot me

[grim jewel]

We'll head there too then I guess🏃‍♀️

[tribal fractal]

I'm right outside

[dense kraken]

Are you guys still inside? @glass moat

[neat prism]

Got room for one more to join? 👀

I'm actually at the hub in Shibuya now. It's very okay

[stable glen]

We’re at a table of 3

We have a space of 1

If someone wants to join..

In the same place table 25

[grim jewel]

so close.. but so far away

already missing you guys🫶

[robust gazelle]

Okay we’re full

No one else come please lol

[spare hawk]

Do u need to book shinkansen to Kyoto in advance or can just show up? How does it work

[robust gazelle]

You can just show up

If it’s on a weekday

Maybe weekend might be packed

[spare hawk]

Thanks. Is it as easy as buying a ticket or is there a process

[glass moat]

It's better to buy a ticket online

And reservation if you're taking big luggage

[glass moat]

It is easy to get thrm at the kiosk

But if u wanna save some money, use klook

Then u can just use the QR code to enter through the gates

Sometimes they sell out if it's super busy and you might have to wait; thus better to get them in advanced

[mellow surge]

On the train to my hotel, gonna grab some food and drinks around Shinjuku around 1030 if anyone wanna join

[spare hawk]

Thanks

[dawn cave]

Anyone near Shibuya wants a drink ?

Shibuya hub to be exact

[dawn cave]

How long you staying down there ?

Probably another hour or so

What you saying ?

I cant go until past 10:30 I got a zoom meeting

Ahh alright. I'll let you know

[dawn cave]

If I go ill either wait until 5 for the trains or take taxi back

[livid karma]

I know an Eric

[jolly wind]

Oh btw, idk where to ask this, but my visa is intra-company transferee, which is a working visa.

If I decided to ask for a permit to do some busking outside train stations, Im gonna be in trouble with the immigration, right? (Im a busker in Philippines, using mic, ampli and acoustic guitar only)

Im just wondering if it's possible just for the experience hahaha

[livid karma]

Drank a lot of beer with him

[jolly wind]

Where is that? Im in Mikawaanjo, Anjo Aichi, and I think the closest is Nagoya

There's one here in Asakusa. I was going to head there for a while this afternoon.

[pearl cape]

Could do after lunch ? I've never been

[pearl cape]

I love your profile picture

[dawn cave]

Where is this statue located anyways lmao

[pearl cape]

About halfway between Kagoshima and miyazaki

[crystal vector]

I'm free between now and 5PM

[frosty fern]

I read that as battling cages so something completely different

[pearl cape]

Down to try that too

[crystal vector]

I mean it's possible if you've had a few highballs

[frosty fern]

I'm also British so I suppose our equivalent is cricket nets

[pearl cape]

Shall we say 2pm for batting cage?

[pearl cape]

Can't say I've done that either

[frosty fern]

Ball is similar speed, hard, but boxes off the floor and changes direction, but also might be aimed at your body so you need to wear pads, gloves and helmet
