I might hit you guys up later if you guys are still doing stuff. I’m in Shinjuku having dinner with a friend

[livid birch]

Has anyone managed to get in to the Jojo bar in nakano without a reservation recently?

[dusty pecan]

Anyone in Hiroshima trying to grab dinner?
Or have any suggestions where to go

[craggy ember]

Based on the reviews I read awhile ago it’s hit and miss, and it mainly depends if ur white/japanese or not

Saw reviews of white ppl saying they got in no reservation

Then saw others being turned away

[livid birch]

Thanks for the info, keeping trying to make a reservation online but it doesn’t get accepted. If I get desperate I’ll just show up and it’s up to them 🤷‍♀️

[craggy ember]

You have to call them or tweet them to get a reservation

Honestly I’d just yolo it

[lime inlet]

@fluid grove Hey are you at O-nest?

[vestal topaz]

Do restaurants not let you in typically 1 hour 20 mins before they close? That feels like plenty of time for an okonomiyaki place

[acoustic hornet]

There now

[acoustic hornet]

He Ro

[raw plover]

Anybody out in any clubs/bars in Tokyo rn? Got a friend in Shibuya saying it’s dead but idk. Trying to get lit these last two nights I’m here

[digital dragon]

Is anyone doing something in shibuya tomorrow??

Like in the evening

I may pop by some bars 🥹

[worthy wadi]

I’m flying in tonight I also may be interested in doing something tomorrow evening

[raw plover]

I think we’ll try atom tomorrow in Shibuya. I hear they have good weekday events compared to other clubs.

[digital dragon]

Yea it way more bare able

Went there this saturday,it was superrr crowded

But by weekday,it's pretty chill but still crowded enough to have fun

It's still hype

[raw plover]

Yea I’d like a good vibe crowd but not be packed like sardines preferably lol

[digital dragon]

Yesss

[raw plover]

I haven’t been to a single club these past two weeks. Nothing but hiking really so trying to get a change of scenery

[digital dragon]

Well tonight(coming night) is ur night 🫡

[raw plover]

Hopefully 🙏 it’ll be me and two of my friends. You’re more than welcome to join 🤘🏽

[raw plover]

Btw where’d you end up going?

[digital dragon]

Thanku

[wicked crown]

Just had one. Was a blast!

[spiral latch]

[tough storm]

You forgot that people drive like shit

[fossil knoll]

[spiral latch]

why am I even living here

[dusty pecan]

I go back home in two days. Now I want to miss my flight

[spiral latch]

it’s ass, quality of life is higher in Japan and cheaper 😭

but I make money here

[dusty pecan]

I need to go see my dog so can’t miss the flight

Cali can’t be as dirty as Atlanta though. I had to move cus my dog always getting sick from garbage on the streets

[dusty pecan]

I am arriving back in Tokyo later today. I haven’t gotten out much to explore the nightlife
Lmk if anyone down to hang in Shibuya

I want to see what it’s like at least once before I leave on 27

[ashen quail]

Why do this to yourself while travelling

Youve escaped that steaming shitpile of a game

[amber canopy]

I agree with that guy

[unreal bloom]

[idle roost]

Last day in Japan, sadge

[spare wind]

See y’all in 2 days 🥳

[golden phoenix]

Anyone interested in doing lunch and a calligraphy class in Tokyo? Most of them are private sessions so would make sense to book together as a group and id love to meet my fellow weebs haha

[spare wind]

when are you doing it ?

[idle roost]

Shit, shinjuku gyoen is closed today

I'm probably going to meiji jingu today if someone wants to tag along

[thick anvil]

did that yesterday, gyoen was so beautiful

im going to fujikawaguchiko on a bus from shinjuku soon if anyone wants to come along

[ashen quail]

Good coffee around that area atleast

[idle roost]

Just looking for cozy places to get my last day's 20k steps

400km in 19 days so far

[thick anvil]

i was waiting outside the ueno zoo for opening time just for it to be closed today 😦

i think its bc of the saturday labour day

[ashen quail]

Beasty Coffee Lab if youre after some food or coffee!

[idle roost]

Will def look at that place for lunch, ty

[ashen quail]

Ah probably more of a breakfast joint, its all sweets and pastries for the food selection

I mean id eat pastry for every meal

But its not for everyone haha

[amber canopy]

Is the class in Japanese or they also have English ones?

I’d be down if the instructors had reasonably good English otherwise might be a little difficult lol

[idle roost]

I can do that with absolutely 0 issues too so it's perfect haha

[ashen quail]

Fantastic! Enjoy! The espresso tonic float (ik its cold but worth) is worth trying!

[idle roost]

Looks like Uniqlo x arcane is a western thing

[golden phoenix]

Nothing booked just yet

[golden phoenix]

Its for foreigners and in English

Here's a the one ive found - https://www.ti-yanesen.jp/複製-書道

There's many and I'm happy to book any other one we can find and like

[tulip trellis]

would be down to join, are there PC cafes in Tokyo we can play at and flame each other?

[amber canopy]

Oh that’s cool I’d be down for sure!

[raw plinth]

anyone around senso ji today

[golden phoenix]

Anyone want to grab lunch around asakusa/akihabara?

[ionic wave]

Theres a few especially in the shin-okubo area! But the one we usually talk about is this one in psrticular: https://maps.app.goo.gl/vq5FkSLYrsarQMK6A?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy

[spiral latch]

dang it that’s what I forgot to try pc cafe

[digital dragon]

Im down!

[idle roost]

Are you like going out every night? How can you survive it lol

(must be the flemish genes atleast if I remember correctly what other people told me kek)

[digital dragon]

Noo I dint go out every night,i took a break yesterday as I feld sick,some seasonal flu or something but im much better now c:

[digital dragon]

Yes I am Flemish!!

[idle roost]

I'm a lazy walloon haha

[digital dragon]

Bahaha you're all good

I now got an eye infection due to my lenses and I just went to the doctor and I need to wear an damn eyepatch

[idle roost]

Randomly met two walloons leaving like 20km away from my parents home in Nikko the other day

Small world

[digital dragon]

Exactly!!!! I also met someone who lives in my town back in belgium,it's crazy haha

[idle roost]

Oh well I'm sure you cand find some kawaii and drippy eyepatchs since it's japan

[digital dragon]

Lmaoo yea definitely,ill pop by in harajuku or so to find some goth-ish patches,would definitely upgrade my style to another level

[craggy ember]

Flemish??

Walloons?

[idle roost]

Parts of Belgium

Different languages

[fossil knoll]

people flame at every internet cafe lmao

[idle roost]

Flemish people speak dutch, walloons speak french, and there is a tiny german speaking part aswell

Belgium is a complicated country but somehow it hasn't imploded (yet)

[craggy ember]

Let’s get toxic

[tulip trellis]

perfect, I'll be right at home

I'm bard main who am I abandoning ?

[fossil knoll]

ur entire team

[craggy ember]

I’ve been getting attacked lately in team chat

[fossil knoll]

lmao

u gettin roasted by a garen player?

[craggy ember]

Spam pinged his ass

[fossil knoll]

he deserves to be pinged

[tulip trellis]

I have found my people

[idle roost]

Would have been nice to play a bit but I have to go to HND at like 9pm

[craggy ember]

Skip ur flight

U don’t need it

[idle roost]

My wallet kinda needs it

[thick anvil]

i forgot that this is an option...

[idle roost]

I've been on a spending spree the last 3-4 days

[thick anvil]

ok its def not an option ^^ its 600bucks to get another flight a week later

[idle roost]

Yeah it's expensive

[thick anvil]

id rather just spend that on coming at another time

[idle roost]

When I checked the prices to delay it by a couple days it was like 300€+

Same

Kinda did all the hugely touristic places

[thick anvil]

what are the hugely touristic places that are worth in tokyo?

[idle roost]

Next trip will be in parts of japan further away from the big cities

Senso-ji, Meiji Jingu

Akihabara/kabukicho/harajuku worth walking through them depending of your centers of interest

Shibuya too

Couldn't go to Kamakura/Enoshima this time

Shinjuku gyoen is really nice too

Very peaceful and serene place

[thick anvil]

yeah i only did meiji jingu and gyoen for the tourism

gyoen was really amazing i teared up

[idle roost]

Esp in the morning

[thick anvil]

at the flow of the lakes and reflection of the trees

[idle roost]

Wanted to go there again for my last day but it's closed

[thick anvil]

im arriving at kawaguchiko very excited

i hope i can return to tokyo at sunset

all busses are booked and direct trains too probably

[idle roost]

Kinda wish I went to kawaguchiko instead of Hakone

[thick anvil]

yeah i was deciding between the two this morning

[idle roost]

Lake Ashi area is nice but fuji views are a bit disappointing

Heiwa no Torii is great tho

[ashen quail]

As long as youre going to the actual harajuku and not just takeshita street

[idle roost]

Yeah takeshita is just too crowded

Fun to see once but that's it

(atleast for me)

[thick anvil]

if theres another sunny day with no plans ill do a day trip there then

[idle roost]

Hm

Personally i'd advise against it

Unless you can get there like really early

Because it's probably near peak fall colours

And you'll have to queue for an hour or two

Just for pictures of the torii

My hotel was 10min away so it was great

[iron isle]

Good fuji day I guess

[idle roost]

Went for pics of it when it was still full of fog/mist at 6:30, back to my hotel for breakfast and back to the torii again at ~8:15 for clear Sunny pics, only like 15 people queueing, 30 mins later there were already like 70-80 people waiting

And iirc the ropeway/boats only start around 8:30-9 am

Shink from kyoto>tokyo didn't give me the opportunity for nice snowcap fuji pics

Too many clouds

Last 2 are the best views I managed to get from Hakone area

[thick anvil]

sick tho

im planning to get a bike so i can go around the lake rn

the kawaguchi lake, hope theyre not all taken, I feel like im arriving super late w 3h of sun left 🥺

[idle roost]

Japanese internet hits different

But then again I barely see any difference between ~15ms and 60

Above that you can notice the delays/lag

[craggy ember]

I had like 12 in Toronto and 6 feels the same

[ashen quail]

please dont tell me this is LoL

[craggy ember]

It’s clearly skyrim

[ashen quail]

Lord I hope so

[proven wedge]

back home and unpacked

i got sick on the plane ride home RIP

[prime sentinel]

Haneda or Naritq?

[spiral latch]

haneda

https://www.prioritypass.com/lounges/japan/tokyo-haneda-intl/hnd18-sky-lounge-south

[prime sentinel]

Nice to know, will have to check it out

[radiant yew]

I just got served a cartoon amount of rice on a rice bowl and I wasn't expecting it

[raw plinth]

Bruh

What's the cartoon amount of rice 🍚

[digital dragon]

Just to make sure,are there any plans for this evening ?

[digital dragon]

Omg that's a bowl

[raw plinth]

this is good amount of food yo

[digital dragon]

A bowl bowl of rice gawd damn

[raw plinth]

i mean full

[radiant yew]

It was only 150 yen dif between standard small serving and this

I wasn't expecting it

Now I'm dying

[dusty pecan]

I'm not getting back to Tokyo until maybe 7
I'm down for dinner and drinks later

Currently on shinkansen but gotta check into hostel and drop off bag first

Hostel is in Shibuya super close to the scramble

Wait misspoke. I'll be arriving at hostel like 6 ish

[digital dragon]

Okidoki!!!!

[dusty pecan]

Himeji castle took longer than expected so I missed the earlier train

Worth it though

[thick anvil]

crazy

[digital dragon]

It's such a beautiful castle,himeji on its own is quite a nice city,not much to do but still

[foggy bramble]

Nice fuji day but not much red leaves left 🥹

[unreal bloom]

I found some 🥲

[foggy bramble]

With crowds beneath it eh hahaha

[unreal bloom]

It was too bad tbh

Nothings worse than the station

Had to rent a bike to get here

[dusty pecan]

I booked the window back to Tokyo but just realized sun might already set when I pass Fuji

[foggy bramble]

Ikr the bus situation was freaking insane

[unreal bloom]

I walked to my hotel

Couldn't deal with that many tourists

[thick anvil]

never kill yourself

[thick anvil]

also did that

[unreal bloom]

Well worth it, even just to ride around Kawaguchi

[thick anvil]

i think im not able to get a direct train back

[foggy bramble]

Bruh you rode up that hill?

[thick anvil]

but i saw theres connections that go halfway until 8pm?

yeah it was 2km this was the best cig of my life

(im not in shape)

[foggy bramble]

Walked up once and I recalled it was super steep, never again

[radiant yew]

Yeah not going to Kyoto on this trip after all

I mean I'm in Kyoto rn

Just not the city

[digital dragon]

This is a whole damn vibe,I love it

[dusty pecan]

@digital dragon what time you're free?

And anyone else joining?

I'm getting hungry. Want to be in Tokyo already lol

[digital dragon]

Ill be free after 7pm c:

Or yea,ill arrive after 7pm,it's quite a ride from where I stay

[dusty pecan]

Ok. Where are you coming from?

[digital dragon]

I know some guy wanted to go clubbing this evening

[digital dragon]

Kawasaki Ota district

It's like a 10min ride to haneda terminal but I leave at narita

[dusty pecan]

Any preference for food?

[white patrol]

This was lake kawaguchiko last week 🥲

[dusty pecan]

I think no sushi for me otherwise I'm pretty open

Had train station sushi earlier and it may have given me stomach cramps

[ionic wave]

o wow thats actually a distance away from central tokyo

[digital dragon]

Oh shit I'm sorry to hear that

[dusty pecan]

How do you take good pics?

[digital dragon]

Yea 🥹🥹

[ionic wave]

are you staying with family or?

[white patrol]

I take credit from my camera phone

[dusty pecan]

Any editing?

[white patrol]

Nope

[dusty pecan]

Oh dang. Nice. What phone?

[dusty pecan]

It passed and I'm good now. I hope 😂

[white patrol]

I have an one plus 9 🫠

[dusty pecan]

Stomach cramps is the reason I sped through garden next to himeji castle. Didn't want it to get worse so far from lodging

[thick anvil]

what club?

[digital dragon]

He wanted to try atom in shibuya,ive been there Saturday and it's great but way too crowded,went on a weekday and it's much much better but still crowded enough to have a good time c:

[dusty pecan]

Is it common drink beer in shinkansen? Already seen a handful guys cracking open asahi dry

[digital dragon]

But im down for anything,ill just go with the flow and see where it goes fr

[digital dragon]

Yea ive noticed it too!

[dusty pecan]

Yeah I'm not much of a clubber. I can't dance lol

Usually prefer bars but we can play by ear. I'm down for whatever

[craggy ember]

Hello neighbour

[dusty pecan]

Worst case I'll call it a night and go home early

[digital dragon]

Hello c:

[fossil knoll]

if yall go to a bar later i might join

[craggy ember]

Welcome to Japan lol

Where drinking is normal everywhere

Love it lol

[fossil knoll]

especially on discord meetups

[digital dragon]

Yea voyager stand bar is good bc it's cheap for all u can drink till they close but it gets hella crowded after 10pm,it's a fun place though,there's also this other more underground bar I go to quite often but im not sure if yall would like the music in there

[dusty pecan]

Would it be weird if I wore earplugs to club 😂

What kind of music 🤔

[craggy ember]

Not at all

[digital dragon]

Nah u taking care of your ears man

[craggy ember]

Common

[radiant yew]

Do what you want

[dusty pecan]

I always knew it was time to leave the club back in the day when my paranoia of hearing loss kicked in

[raw plinth]

How does it happen

[digital dragon]

I have to go out with a medical eyepatch,im scared ppl gonna give me weird looks ngl

[radiant yew]

Any train with tray tables you can eat or even crack a beer. That includes the Shinkansen

[digital dragon]

Oh damn

[raw plinth]

There are clubs where you put on your own headphones

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/784177153608253490.gif?size=48&quality=lossless

[radiant yew]

Japanese people have to use them too, I've seen it.

[dusty pecan]

Usually I'd just get some intrusive thoughts after few hours

[raw plinth]

I see

[lime inlet]

Anime trope for a reason

[digital dragon]

Yea I know,so I don't feel too bad about it,but not at the club though 🥹

[craggy ember]

https://tenor.com/view/o-brother-where-art-thou-eye-patch-big-dan-t-oh-brother-gif-22300622

[dusty pecan]

And I'd usually get an earache or headache to clue me in

[dusty pecan]

Hide with sunglasses?

Or just don't think about it lol

[digital dragon]

I don't have sunglasses 🥹

[digital dragon]

Maannnn😭😭

[dusty pecan]

Can borrow mine

Also. Why doesn't anyone else wear sunglasses in Japan

[digital dragon]

It looks suspicious

[radiant yew]

Because it makes you look sus

[dusty pecan]

Or a hat

[lime inlet]

Hats are common. Hoods are sus

[radiant yew]

People wear hats

[dusty pecan]

Some days I'm blinded then remember just put on my cap and glasses

[fossil knoll]

ive seen quite a few japanese people wearing sunglasses XD

[radiant yew]

Yeah I'm afraid to pull up my hoodie

Lol

[dusty pecan]

I noticed some yeah. But doesn't seem commonly used for keeping sun out the eyes

[radiant yew]

But it's getting chilly

[fossil knoll]

usually for uv

[craggy ember]

Yea hoods are extremely sus

[fossil knoll]

protection

[craggy ember]

I get the dirtiest looks during my 3am hooded grocery runs

[dusty pecan]

I also haven't noticed too many beanies

[craggy ember]

I see tons of beanies

[radiant yew]

People wear beanies

[craggy ember]

Depends where u r honestly

[digital dragon]

I've seen beanies alot

[fossil knoll]

berets are also a thing

[craggy ember]

Youth always have beanies

[dusty pecan]

Maybe I'm not noticing lol

[digital dragon]

Like the skate guys

[craggy ember]

I’m always beanied

[radiant yew]

Berets are super stylish

[white patrol]

Is anyone in kyoto? 👀

[craggy ember]

Beret

Like beret? 😹😹😹

[digital dragon]

The Yankees with no brim i see too,I low-key like it

[radiant yew]

And Asians pull off glasses with circle rims

[fossil knoll]

https://tenor.com/view/french-tourist-goatee-gif-16345991

[craggy ember]

Where the hell have you seen a beret

[fossil knoll]

everywhere in tokyo lmao

[craggy ember]

Quebec moment

[dusty pecan]

Maybe I'm just not paying enough attention then

[digital dragon]

Im glad u dint say France 😂

[fossil knoll]

shiiiit theyre gonna throw their poutine at us

[radiant yew]

Girls wear stylish berets I see it everywhere in japan too

[craggy ember]

Only thing worse than France is Quebec

[fossil knoll]

true

[dusty pecan]

To clarify by hat I meant more like baseball cap type hat

[digital dragon]

Yo they love em

But youth

[dusty pecan]

Like today at himeji the sun was blinding me and I saw everyone holding hand above eyes and squinting

But I just put on hat and glasses and was good to go

[dusty pecan]

Maybe that's it. Not enough youth at the tourist spot lol

[digital dragon]

Don't worry too much about it,do what makes u feel comfortable

[fossil knoll]

i usually get weird looks when using sunglasses, but i prefer to wear them and not be even more blind lmao

[digital dragon]

Hahaha

[radiant yew]

I wear bucket hats now

Japan taught me

[fossil knoll]

bucket hats here are cute

[dusty pecan]

Oh yeah I'm fine just an observation

I have noticed the bucket hats lol

I like the 🫡

[digital dragon]

Yea they really are

[digital dragon]

Hahaha yess I love that emoji sm

[dusty pecan]

🧢

[raw plinth]

Oh boi that's scary

[digital dragon]

No cap

[raw plinth]

Is it a medical condition

[dusty pecan]

🤠

[fossil knoll]

vancouver

[craggy ember]

100% 😹😹

[dusty pecan]

🤔 Never thought about it. No?
I think loud noise just hurts after too long

[digital dragon]

Noooo that reminds me of a homeless man I saw in osaka,he's dick gang out of a hole in his pants ,laying with the position

[radiant yew]

Practicality

[craggy ember]

😹😹😹😹

[dusty pecan]

Is it just me, but without the earplugs I can't even understand loud music

It's why I never liked concerts for the longest time until I figured out ear plugs actually help me hear better

[raw plinth]

True well if you hear that loud noise for way too long then it can damage your ears for sure

[radiant yew]

Do you mean with purpose made concert ear plugs

[dusty pecan]

Nope. Just generic ones

Maybe I do have a condition 😂

[radiant yew]

Oh wow. No they would just muffle sounds for most people lol

Good concert ear plugs don't muffle the sound

[dusty pecan]

Oh. Interesting. Maybe those were actually good ear plugs I was using 🤷‍♂️ :

[digital dragon]

Yup

[pseudo iris]

Would anyone be interested in going to Dogenzaka church?

It's a bar, not an actual church

[winter prairie]

Anyone going this week to Spy x Family's exhibition in Yokohama?

[acoustic hornet]

Probably not because sadly Yor isn't real but I'll be exploring Yokohoma on Wednesday

[sacred flame]

Where exactly is this ???

I want one such picture !! God!

[unreal bloom]

Anyone out in Kyoto tonight?

[worthy wadi]

Just tell people you’re feeling particularly edgy today

[digital dragon]

Lmaoooo I will

[digital dragon]

Yk what,im actually down for that,ive been seeing it and it attracts me but people say it's not all that great so I've never been yet

[pseudo iris]

If it ends up sucking, at least there's other bars nearby

[regal hill]

Going for dinner, or after? I'm down for joining if you've got space

[pseudo iris]

I'm down for food, maybe dumplings? Have yet to have gyoza

[sullen sluice]

[regal hill]

So somewhere Shibuya since that's where the bar is?

[pseudo iris]

[dusty pecan]

I could do gyoza

Finally in shinagawa. Low-key missed it here

[dusty pecan]

[pseudo iris]

[dusty pecan]

@digital dragon do you need more time to make it?

Yamanote line is packed. But I still prefer this over the Kyoto buses

[craggy ember]

Hello neighbour

[dusty pecan]

When I'm pushed here it's because it's a baby in a stroller not some obnoxious tourist who can't take their giant back pack off

[dusty pecan]

Hello

[digital dragon]

Till after 12

[regal hill]

What are we doing after? I forgot my earplugs 😭

[digital dragon]

My first train is at 4:45 am

[worthy wadi]

Thanks soba

[dusty pecan]

I could see that happening 😝

[digital dragon]

Is it even worth it that I come? 💀

[worthy wadi]

When are you back in Japan soba?

[regal hill]

I'm unlikely to stay to after 12, need to get the last train

[digital dragon]

Me too

[worthy wadi]

Oh I might get skewers

Ok jet setter

[dusty pecan]

I’m fine with calling it a night early if you need catch last trains

We can play by ear

First things first I gotta eat 😝

[worthy wadi]

Eh but it’s soba…

[pseudo iris]

https://www.timeout.com/tokyo/restaurants/tokyo-alleyway-guide

[lime inlet]

Monday night is pretty chill actually

but yes the bars are overcharging

It’s atmospheric, do it once

[brazen herald]

I walked through it by accident during the day, can't say I enjoyed the scent. But yeah I should go one Monday

[ionic wave]

wow

did not expect habo of all people to end up in golden gai

😂

[frozen thunder]

https://maps.app.goo.gl/6D4AWG7gwGVBw6We9

[craggy ember]

Good morning

Weather still mild in Osaka. It was pretty chilly in the San'in coast

[plucky fjord]

I might be going to Yokohama to pick up my glasses lol

[shut flower]

[raw plinth]

[tulip badge]

[raw plinth]

[worn sluice]

Somebody in Hiroshima tonight?

[dreamy kestrel]

Sounds good. What time?

Anyone else up for coffee and a walk in Yoyogi?

[raw plinth]

FYI there's a special christmas stamp at the JR station, if you're collecting them

[raw plinth]

Okay let us know

[raw plinth]

[bright burrow]

If y’all are still at Yoyogi Park I can make my way over there?

Just wasn’t sure if you were about to leave

[raw plinth]

How long it will take for you

[bright burrow]

Like 45 mins

[raw plinth]

We can explore the other part as well

🙏

[bright burrow]

Ok!! I’m on my way over now, I’ll text you guys when I get there

[iron isle]

Kawagicho now

[raw plinth]

Alright 👍

[muted sail]

Matsumoto and Kyoto also have some nice colors

I got to my ryokan in Matsumoto, was surprised I was able to communicate whole luggage delivery, check in and hotel establishment thing in Japanese

[bright burrow]

Just got off the train, whereabouts in the park are you?

[raw plinth]

Which train station

[bright burrow]

https://maps.apple.com/?ll=35.669165,139.701667&q=My Location&t=r

[raw plinth]

Alright I’m here

Wearing a blue Patagonia jacket and jeans

@raw plinth

[raw plinth]

Yo

[thorn dune]

Carrying a Starbucks cup

[bright burrow]

We are here, it’s like two minutes walk from where you are now

We’ll wait around here for you

[shut flower]

Hmu if yall need any companions for food and stuff

I do want to go to some of them high-end places but my friends are not at that level :p

Go to Seroja to try something new next time it's lit

[thorn dune]

Ok walking towards you

[radiant yew]

We posting fall colors?

[misty flare]

Are we?

[radiant yew]

Enryaku-ji, Shiga/Kyoto

[misty flare]

I have a nice pic of Fuji with red leaves around it

[lunar dock]

looking good after that fire 400 years ago /s

[shut flower]

Very very nice

Thevar is great too

I think both are independently great

[radiant yew]

I feel like lots of things have burned down at some point 😅

[shut flower]

For sure

Before they got really famous it was at a more affordable price

[lunar dock]

true, but a definitely smaller subset specifically got torched by oda nobunaga

[shut flower]

Imo for high-end restaurants I'd much rather have it at somewhere like Bangkok

[lunar dock]

and enryakujin is among that subset!

[shut flower]

Haha yeah hawker variety is great

[raven laurel]

Kanazawa earlier today

[shut flower]

Most of us just eat the simple two dish rice on the day-to-day though

[craggy ember]

Is this Singapore meetup November chat

[shut flower]

Yes

[lunar dock]

wanna fly over?

[craggy ember]

After what @ionic wave told me, no

It’s nothing

[lunar dock]

im thinking of doing msia+sg next next year

[shut flower]

Yes it's p boring

[lunar dock]

LOL fair

[craggy ember]

I’ll go South Korea

[ionic wave]

singapore is shite

[lunar dock]

yea im going korea next year probably

gotta line up my pto

[shut flower]

HAHA

Truth

[craggy ember]

W

I’m gonna go South Korea or Taiwan

Prob SK

[lunar dock]

time to learn some koearn

[craggy ember]

Lol my brain will fry

I get the impression that a decent amount of the youth there would speak English no?

[thick anvil]

i think so, korean ppl i met here spoke english

[craggy ember]

Lol that’s a different demographic

[vestal topaz]

SK or Taiwan

Or HK

[dreamy kestrel]

Anyone want to meet up for a few drinks and a bite to eat in Shinjuku?

Tonkatsu or good Sushi maybe?

[clear rain]

Hey people, I'm in Kyoto across tomorrow and the day after. If anyone is about and fancies meeting let me know

[reef hazel]

It's better than Japan for English levels imo but not great still

It's worth having basic Korean

Transport is a lot better for English as everything gets announced in English and Korean

Going and trying to talk to locals though is just as difficult without knowing their language.

Plus point, Korean is so much easier than Japanese to learn and to read

[spare wind]

Finally I am HERE

[potent prawn]

I'm getting to Tokyo soon, would be down for a meetup in general today/tomorrow

[frozen thunder]

I'm just about to head out for a late lunch around Tawaramachi/Asakusa

[dreamy kestrel]

Okay. Maybe tomorrow

[ionic wave]

korea is fun man, have fun dude. And a lot closer and cheaper to visit from japan

[long dragon]

Last night in Tokyo, best places for dinner In Asakusa?

[chilly shoal]

NPC conversations are hard for most Japanese…

People in the normal beatdown route (tokyo kyoto nara osaka and close to the fujisan lakes) do know their npc english, but if you go anywhere beyond that without basic Japanese you’ll have a HARD time

[ionic wave]

the only thing about korea is that the locals can get a bit fierce/rude at times

especially when pissed off

like they will physically tell you to fuck off if they dont like you

😂

[chilly shoal]

because the US exists and they think English is an actual universal language

[winter prairie]

Sry haven't received the notification for some reason! I was heading to the Artnia Cafe in Shinjuku at the time. Might go back in shinjuku on thursday or friday as I missed the station stamp

[craggy ember]

Canada too tho

I miss that :((

[uncut jackal]

Based

[worn sluice]

I’m having the best weather for hiroshima: rainy and all grey

[craggy ember]

Happy ending ?

[uncut jackal]

Nopeeeee

[craggy ember]

Ligma sack

[uncut jackal]

Sugondeez

[worn sluice]

Nah, i cried at the memorial hall 😂

[craggy ember]

Thought u were playing the skin flute

[worthy wadi]

Anyone planning to go to Yomiuri land or the Oi race course to check out the illuminations at night?

[spare wind]

also gonna be eating around asakusa if you find anything good I’d be down

[reef hazel]

It is better for English conversation than Japan. You can do that basic transactions a lot easier using English than here I found

[raw plinth]

@dreamy kestrel @bright burrow @thorn dune

It was fun hanging out with y'all

[uncut jackal]

Rly? Found the opposite

[fossil knoll]

i am at some point

depending on how far they are XD

[reef hazel]

Ya, I find English here isnt great at all. Koreans wasn't good either but service staff generally had enough to do that but not really go behind that

[dusty pecan]

Decided spend my remaining yen at arcade.
Won the claw game twice in three games

Then as I left I saw staff adjusting the claw 🤣

[reef hazel]

Also public transport had way better English language signage and announcements

[uncut jackal]

I found it much less welcoming to foreigners than tokyo but idk

[fossil knoll]

it was nice knowing that a train got delayed for "unidentified noise" in english

[uncut jackal]

Having foreigner only clubs type shit

[reef hazel]

Yes

I do agree there. Koreans are more outwardly ageist and xenophobic in that regard

[thick anvil]

bro i saw you walk out with that plushie

[reef hazel]

Like you're over 30 and clubbing options reduce a huge amount

[thick anvil]

at gigo?

[reef hazel]

And being foreign means you can't get into some places unless you want to buy a table

[dusty pecan]

Small world lol

[reef hazel]

So you end up going to the same places as every other foreigner

[thick anvil]

i spent all day at the arcades 🙏

[dusty pecan]

I walked back to my hostel whistling Pokemon 🤣
Had to celebrate my wins

What do you play there? I tried racing but couldn't understand what was happening

I think there was some story to it and tried to keep playing but accidentally quit

[worthy wadi]

If you decide to go tonight or tomorrow night can you let me know?

Otherwise I might try to go again between 12/4 -12/7

[thick anvil]

yeah the wangan has plot ahahha

i play the rhythm games 1 floor above

[spare wind]

Would be down for this

[dusty pecan]

Which floor?
I thought there was only two floors, and basement had rhythms

[thick anvil]

wait which arcade where u at

taito?

[dusty pecan]

Yeah

[thick anvil]

top floor had more rhythm games

[dusty pecan]

Oh shit I didn’t realize there were more floors 🤣
