[acoustic glade]

@stone plover lmk if you want to take the spot. 645-1030am. Buffet or a la carte

https://www.hyatt.com/content/dam/hotel/propertysites/assets/unbound/tyoub/documents/en_us/dining/le-pristine-cafe-tokyo/Le-Pristine-Cafe-Tokyo-Breakfast-English.pdf

this is the a la carte

Buffet is prob your typical… western/eastern mix

[waxen dove]

[stone plover]

Nah you go for it

Full time

I’m just joking around

It’s a good breakfast my flight is 9am no point showing up at 6

Eat all the food

[waxen dove]

in that case i will not eat tonight im devouring allat food

@stone plover whats bread like as a person

[acoustic glade]

I’m a carbohydrate

Uh what time? So I can set an alarm

Take the hibiya line to toranomon hills and go up the escalator. Hotel lobby to the right. Lots of signs everywhere

[waxen dove]

preferably 8:30

[stone plover]

We walked by that station it’s a nice place

[acoustic glade]

Uncle talks too much sometimes but that’s okay. He’s very expressive and fun to hang out with. Even better to drink with.

[stone plover]

Really cool shrine next door

Must walk all the steps for success

[inland breach]

Anyone in Nagasaki?

[worn wing]

Insane Mt. Kurama vibes. Where is it

[keen crown]

Just got here.

[willow onyx]

Otw. Leaving the station now. My maps shit the bed so I’m picking an exit lol

[cobalt wren]

I’m also still omw

Left a bit late, got caught up in something

[keen crown]

All good

[stone plover]

Near ark hills

Having night parfait

Going to drinks after

[stone plover]

Leaving

[willow onyx]

@stone plover where are you

[stone plover]

Shinjuku

You guys?

[willow onyx]

We were walking to little smith😂

[stone plover]

Lemme check in on

@unborn quarry @jovial glacier

Lemme ride train over

To ginza, other folks still eating

@willow onyx

Was zanmai good?

[willow onyx]

YES

[loud scaffold]

Do you guys know how much is the taxi from Tokyo station to Shinjuku?

[willow onyx]

Who’s headed to golden gai?

[stone plover]

4k? But this time just take a train. Not too bad for 4 people in a taxi tbh

[stone plover]

I’m going to smiths in ginza

[loud scaffold]

I'm here but I'm leaving rn

[loud scaffold]

Yeah It's just in case I can't catch the last train

[stone plover]

There’s a night charge

[heavy saffron]

3400 from Yaesu, vs 180 yen or so on the train

[stone plover]

After midnight * 30% more

If you are stupidly drunk, uber is good

Some taxi drivers might get weird (super rare but happens to parked cabs waiting for a mark)

[loud scaffold]

Walking is like 1.5h

Nah but I'm not drunk I'll try to catch the last train then

[heavy saffron]

Why don’t you just drink somewhere close to your place?

It’s not like Tokyo has only one nightlife area

Besides Shinjuku is among the worst ones

[loud scaffold]

Not drinking 👀

[stone plover]

I’m going to smiths

Not sure if you wanna go it’s Tokyo station side

[patent apex]

Hii I'm from Canada, just came back from Hakuba ski trip, and will be staying in Tokyo for 3 days. Anyone wanna come out for meet up or lunch?~

[fathom blade]

I fly out in about 6 hours. So closeeeeeee

[patent apex]

anyone wanna meet up either tomorrow or the day after? I am staying in Ueno 🙂

[gaunt spade]

My wife and I are in shibuya if anyone wants to grab lunch/coffee

[junior edge]

He had some weird takes on Japan

[heavy saffron]

tbh he did have weird takes on many things, not just that

[light compass]

Abolish conveyor belt sushi what a loser

Kura is the goat

[stone plover]

Hey Japan tourism I had fun

Thx for everyone time

[heavy saffron]

Thank you too Uncle!

[stone plover]

Shinjuku for me next time, day trip to kawaguchiko

lol thought I was walking northbound but nope I’m walking towards shinjuku

Time to double back and get the step count in

[willow onyx]

Oh fuck 😂 good trek to you

[dim creek]

Lmao wtf

[ancient oak]

my repositioning flight is this evening, I think I'm way overpacked 🤣

[stone plover]

Phew got home now

Turns out 30 min became 1hr 15 min o well, nice detour and was nice

[keen crown]

@willow onyx hey if your still at the bar could your grab my bag?

I can get it from you tomorrow.

[slow ridge]

Okeydoke, done for the night. Seeya folks.

[mellow shore]

How was sweets paradise? any recs? Planning to go later this week.

[limpid trout]

i was nice! we also paid for the buffet! personally liked it better than the collab items 😖

[mellow shore]

oh I didn't know they had a buffet, good to know

[stone plover]

It’s been fun guys

Waiting at the airlinelost and found office for my laptop which I lost on day 1 (I kinda knew)

[worn wing]

Oh no. Potential security risk spotted. SMH

[pallid steppe]

lol funny enough a lot of the conveyor belt sushi joints I go to do still do the waiter thing

Instead you write the number corresponding with the sushi you want, the number of pieces you want, and then you hand the order to a chef/waiter

[acoustic glade]

@waxen dove lmk when you’ll make it!

[wooden copper]

Would anyone be interested in visiting the Ghibli museum in the next few days? Would love to make a half-day trip out of it!

[pallid steppe]

Oh you have tickets?

[wooden copper]

Rip nvm - i see how the museum works now

[worn wing]

Hah

[gloomy goblet]

That’s a refreshing amount of optimism right there.

[acoustic glade]

You didn’t respond in time so I just went! Enjoy the rest of your trip 🙂

[loud scaffold]

Just had my first experience with an express train 🥲 🥲 🥲

In the metro

[livid aspen]

Happy birthday!! 🎉 @night obsidian I could've join you and we could celebrate our birthdays together, but I'm going to Kansai soon.. When is your birthday?

[bright blade]

Repost from the events channel. I usually just do bar crawls, but I put together a small music show for the first time this Saturday. 4 different artists of different styles, no entry fee. I'll be around Asakusa in the late afternoon on this day, in case anyone wants to meet up early.

[round linden]

We’re gonna wait in line at BenFiddich opening and hope to get in, but after a drink there we’re free for a bar crawl around shinjuku after!

[cedar halo]

Happy birthday!!

[quartz hill]

[light compass]

Yes

It’s so goated

Osaka n kyoto are shit compared to this vibes are unmatched

Not even the bars just everything

[quartz hill]

Don’t know of anything planned but keen to do something around Shibuya area ✌️

[acoustic glade]

Off to the airport. It’s been fun!! Everyone enjoy your stay in Japan

[sterile pasture]

Ok nice 👍 shibuya sounds good. Let’s try and round some people up:)

[quartz hill]

Comment here if you are keen for a meetup tonight, drinks or the like Shibuya area. I’m new so location recommendations welcomed 🙏

[inland breach]

[stone plover]

Don’t sleep until 10pm

[alpine raven]

Ow ok

[gaunt spade]

Are folks meeting up for dinner tonight?

[sour gale]

Hellooo. Snacks trades in Shibuya at 8 🙂 Who's up?
Maybe dinner after that, you can drop places in that meet chat!

[sterile pasture]

Trying to get a shibuya bar meetup goin

[lavish mountain]

Hey let me know if you get something 🙂

[quartz hill]

We’ve got @sterile pasture @quartz hill , @sour gale and maybe my girlfriend. We’re both here from Aus.

[round linden]

In shibuya? We might be in after dinner! Keep us posted 🙌

[worn wing]

Alas I’m far from Tokyo so no snacks from me

[quartz hill]

Yeah seems Shibuya is where a few of us are going to be. I’m good for drinks around 9, have plans for dinner first.

[cold bear]

Predisposed for the evening, but will be down for Shinjuku tomorrow, if anyone else is!

[violet holly]

Anyone in Sendai? I was gonna drink tonight since I haven’t much yet.

[sly halo]

Is there going to be any event in Shibuya ? The streets seems to be organized and the broadcast is saying something.

[brazen hawk]

find the kobe art bar

[frosty pebble]

Don’t think I’ve ever seen someone say they’re in Sendai haha

[brazen hawk]

never seen someone say theyre in nagasaki either but its lowkey nice

[frosty pebble]

I saw someone say Nagasaki earlier today fr

[brazen hawk]

Yeah that what i mean

first

[frosty pebble]

O

Yeah I imagine it’s nice

[sterile pasture]

Not sure but we’re not granting a group to drink there tonight

[violet holly]

You woulda loved it seeing when I was in Yamagata

[frosty pebble]

I’m in Nagoya now but I doubt anyone here lol

[violet holly]

I’m going to Nirasaki next

[brazen hawk]

anyone going to fukushima to bathe in radiation

[frosty pebble]

Well I plan to do Sendai and Niigata soon

[violet holly]

You like whisky?

[frosty pebble]

Nah just beer haha

[brazen hawk]

go for one beer

[cold bear]

I will be in Nagoya for a few days, starting Saturday. 😆

[violet holly]

Damn, Nikka’s Miyagi Distillery is a half day trip away

It’s why I’m in Sendai

[frosty pebble]

Been having a few cans at night sends me to sleep lmao

[brazen hawk]

yea on it now son

[quartz hill]

Yeah we working on approx 9pm for a beer in Shibuya

[frosty pebble]

Like a mini Tokyo here

[violet holly]

I will be in Tokyo after the 17th and I will be ready to go out fyi.

My trip to this point has been very relaxed and wholesome

[cold bear]

I lived there for a year - underrated, but I only feel it can be appreciated beyond the span of a tourist stay.

[violet holly]

Start slow and ramp was my itinerary

[sterile pasture]

@quartz hill @round linden @lavish mountain let’s meet at Tasuichi in Shibuya at 9. Lets talk on this channel https://discord.com/channels/440956791426383882/1343936972065996800

[frosty pebble]

Nagoya too many peeps I was enjoying the dead zone of Toyama

[cold bear]

It’s a hard sell for tourists.

[frosty pebble]

When you have limited time you might as well stay in Tokyo

Or Osaka

[cold bear]

Pretty much - Tokyo and Osaka can encapsulate most of what people would expect when visiting.

[violet holly]

^

I planned for over 20 days here so I could spend at least 1 full day without traveling in each location I was visiting. If I was doing any less I wouldn’t probably only have visited Tokyo and Sendai.

[brazen hawk]

theres a reason the nightlife thread is so goated

[frosty pebble]

I plan to do every major city 2 nights unless it’s a small one

[brazen hawk]

[fickle osprey]

Less than 47 hours until I'm flying

[ancient oak]

Wheels up in under 2 hrs for me 💪✈️🌸

[fickle osprey]

WOOOOOOOOO

[rare mirage]

Still have to wait till Saturday 😔

[fallen spruce]

Flying tomorrow, arriving on the 13th and playing at GiGo until my fingers fall off

[bold totem]

First flight went great now just a (hopefully) quick 3 hr layover then its Fukuoka time

its honestly crazy how a 13.5 hr overseas flight can be more comfortable than a 5 hour domestic flight with a US airline

[dusk radish]

Heyy there!! Getting ready for my flight tomorrow ✨ could you please tell me, how cold is it in tokyo? A lot of jackets cold or just a spring jacket cold?

[wide oxide]

Depends on where you’re from. My group has found it to be a bit chilly the past week cause of the wind and there was some big snowfall in Tokyo. But it looks to be better forecast wise.

[dusk radish]

Im from spain so im not really used to super cold weather. Might pack thicker jackets then thx!!

[gloomy goblet]

Any specific games that you’re gonna be playing?

[fallen spruce]

The Darius machines with the multiple screens are going to e a blast
Various CAVE games (mainly the early Dodonpachi games + Deathsmiles)
I'm sure I'll pick up on the 15 million rhythm games that exist, I just don't often play them

[gloomy goblet]

I appreciate your fondness of Shmup games. I am also a Shmup enjoyer.

[livid aspen]

Will anyone be in Kyoto March 14-17th?

[bold totem]

I’ll be close-ish in Okayama - maybe a little far for a day trip, but I’m going on a bike ride on the 16th if you wanna join! It’s the Kibiji cycle route, posted about it a little while back in here

I guess unless you have a regional JR pass that covers the area it would super not be worth it though honestly lol, individual Shinkansen trips are pricey

[slow ridge]

I'm heading over to kyoto via shinkansen right now.

[slow ridge]

Could you link me that cycle route? 👀

[livid aspen]

Whats your plan for Kyoto?

[white kettle]

Boarding my plane to tokyo!!

If anyone wanna chill at a shisha place in asakusa tonight lmk

I brought a bottle of very nice whiskey to enjoy too

[slow ridge]

I want to see fushimi inari and a few of the shrines.

[bold totem]

Im about to go through customs but if to just google ‘Kibiji cycle route’ and pull up the page from the Okayama website you should be able to find it! If you’re on the right link you should be able to scroll down and open up the PDF map too. If you can’t find it lmk and I’ll link u after I get thru this

[brazen hawk]

I stole it from jugging

[livid aspen]

Go early for fushimi inari...its a really popular shrine to see lol

[pallid marsh]

im down im staying in asakusa area

[slow ridge]

Shinkansen is dropping me off at ~12:00, sooooo i'm at the whim of this speedy train right now haha

[livid aspen]

Oh, how long will you be in Kyoto for? Gonn try to see the main shrine all the way to the top?

[slow ridge]

If I can, i'll def try. If I find lots to do here, i'll book a hotel for the night or a pod, whatever I can grab.

[sterile pasture]

There’s a super cool cyber punk shisha spot in shinjuku called Uda river if you’re interested

Anyone wanna do brunch this am. This place is great

Exit the station turn left and go up an escalator

One floor

@trim igloo @unborn quarry @charred arrow this is right across the street from sarabeths

[unborn quarry]

“Exit the station” at shinjuku station is not good enough😂😂

[sterile pasture]

Gotta go in the direction of the destination and you’ll find the right exit

[sterile pasture]

lol tru

[unborn quarry]

Sarabeths is in lumine 2, 2nd floor
I believe the closest exit is central east

[bold totem]

Google maps will tell you what exit/entrance to use btw it’s super useful

[unborn quarry]

Does it tell you if the destination is inside the station? Apple maps doesn’t and its very annoying🫠

[bold totem]

Yep and what floor

(Should at least)

[bright blade]

That sun came out! Anyone for cans on the Asakusa riverside? I'm free for a few hours at least.

[trim igloo]

You take thw Yaesu exit

It’s inside Tekko Building

Take the escalator

[sand valley]

@bold totem gonna start walking in your direction - got a good meeting spot?

@bold totem leaving my hotel now, I'm a cheapo without any data so will find somewhere with open WiFi around Ohori so bare with me if I don't reply instantly lol

buy extra bottles and send it to your destination hotel before you leave japan

just use the same address for sender and recipient

[pastel imp]

@bold totem @sand valley would ya guys be down to grab some drinks tonight?

[livid aspen]

Well looks like I will waste most of my days in Kanazawa..the JR ticket machine couldnt verify my passport and now I have to wait for in-person to get my ticket to Kyoto. 😭

My ticket is 512...and they are helping ticket number 469...

[violet holly]

I purposely left extra space in my suitcase, and when I make it back to Tokyo I’m buying a 2nd small suitcase to bring it back to the states.

[stone plover]

yeah but buy it now and send it to your hotel for cheap

[violet holly]

As long as it’s less than 5 gallons nobody’s gonna care about the export/import

[stone plover]

so you dont need to lug that shit around

[violet holly]

I only got 2 more trips, one to Nirasaki and one to Tokyo and both of my hotels are right off the train lines.

I’d rather keep the bottles with me so I can ensure their safety.

[stone plover]

sending it is safer, they use white glove service

and padd it very very well

[pallid marsh]

Is it bad I'm eating taco bell 🔔 in japan, I've been craving it

[jaunty aspen]

Lowkey craving it too bro

[worn wing]

Craving some western food too ngl

Denny’s or McD when I get to Tokyo?

[pallid marsh]

Dennys in Japan is just like eating at any other family restaurant in Japan

Not that it's a bad thing

[violet holly]

I was literally just thinking about how much I want Taco Bell

[pallid marsh]

Lol Japanese foods is awesome but sometimes a taste of the familiar hits different

[jaunty aspen]

Me & juggin at Taco Bell too

[worn furnace]

Blow up that toilet

[cobalt wren]

Anyone doing anything fun for dinner?

lol @keen crown I’m game for finding something in Ginza again

[paper marlin]

Taco bell exists in japan??

[cobalt wren]

Or that pizza place in Akihabara 😈

[keen crown]

Well I was just about to shower and head to Shibuya for a few pictures of the crossing, but I’d be down to try to grab dinner that way towards Ginza

[livid aspen]

Well..like i mentioned couple days ago..you might destroy a TB burrito, but in the end, it will destroy you

[cobalt wren]

I could meet you over there

[cobalt wren]

Ngl TB has always been fine for me

[brazen hawk]

You've been here long enough to know this surely

[paper marlin]

I didn't actually know lol

[keen crown]

Taco Bell is always disappointing. And I order way too much

[cobalt wren]

@keen crown just give me about half an hour heads up to get over there.

[livid aspen]

Guess you have the clean TB store lol.

[keen crown]

Is it better in Japan?

[paper marlin]

This is a dangerous question because most times things in japan are more...or should I say less flavorful then what you would get in N.A

But less strange additives for sure

[pallid marsh]

Here comes the ' everything's better in japan' ppl

[paper marlin]

Tbf the best thing about eating stuff in japan is that you'll still lose weight if you eat a shitton

[pallid marsh]

Fr I've lost 20 lbs in the last 8 months and I've been eating MORE than back home

[loud scaffold]

And gained in leg muscles

[cold bear]

Yea, cuz you’re walking 10k more steps a day than back home. 😆

[livid aspen]

I got fatter in my 1 week here with a lot of walking lol

[pallid marsh]

Rip

[frosty pebble]

The 12 pints of beer on a night out is brutal calories

[livid aspen]

Yea, I get that. But McDonald’s is sooo much better without all those additives that even if it isn’t as flavorful it is just better

[exotic oyster]

hope you have a fun time

[cold bear]

I would say you’re wrong.. but then again, all the things I could list you could literally do in any other major city, lol.

[frosty pebble]

But yeah Nagoya is pretty boring lmao 🤣

[exotic oyster]

ahaha its just a meme that nagoya always gets skipped over

there a phrase in japanese for it but i cant remember it rn

[paper marlin]

True lmao

[cold bear]

I like it, but I won’t disagree.

[paper marlin]

Although mcdonalds hasn't sat well with me

I'm flying tomorrow

[pallid marsh]

Cheese

[slow ridge]

@cold bear happy to have@paper marlin the both of you around if yah wanna join.

[fickle osprey]

One Eiffel tower please

[pallid marsh]

Ewww I'm all sticky

Fuck this humidity

[fickle osprey]

I was worried about the humidity

I'm fine with everything BUT humidity

[pallid marsh]

Same

Dry heat or freezing cold is fine anything but humidity

[junior edge]

For real Japan has no good cheese

[pallid marsh]

I'd kill for some good cheese

[cold bear]

Definitely would! Unfortunately, I’ve been early-rising since arriving around 5am the last couple days, so starting at 9:00 might be a bit much for me — will let you know if that changes, I may honestly be out by then. 😦

[slow ridge]

Not a problemo, friend. We'll start the next one at 5am in that case

[empty pike]

Thought about it, but i'm afraid it'll spoil by the time i hand it out - idk if there's a fridge in my hostel, and the flight is too long

[slow ridge]

I kid.

[paper marlin]

I probably might come out 🙂

[empty pike]

I'll ask the pilot but i doubt i'll get his approval, as it's gonna cost him a little detour

[paper marlin]

It's crazy raining right now

[white kettle]

Im glad i didnt wear gaijin tshirt and short tonight

[slow ridge]

IT IS

[white kettle]

I wouldve died on the streets

[slow ridge]

I walked back 1km to my hotel in shibuya and i'm fcking drenched so i'm taking a bath to warm up

[pallid marsh]

Comte, or gruyere holds well outside refrigeration

[paper marlin]

Guy knows his cheese

[fickle osprey]

You can take cheese on a plane?

[pallid marsh]

Was a cook for 7 years

[warm light]

If anyone’s meeting up around Shinjuku tonight, plz @ me. I’m just waiting to have dinner then I’ll be wandering round aimlessly

[pallid marsh]

I'd be down for later but first NEED a shower and head to meet @white kettle at a shisha in asakusa

[warm light]

I’ve showered (in the bloody pouring rain)

[white kettle]

Im omw to check into my hotel in asakusa

Right after im heading to the shisha place

[pallid marsh]

Kk

I might be a bit late

[exotic oyster]

you could shisha in shinjuku too

well in any major district

[pallid marsh]

@white kettle is pretty spent

[exotic oyster]

yea just asakusa is quite a far ways away from shinjuku so keep that in mind

if you're planning to go to both places

[white kettle]

Im just chilling in asakusa if u have stuff to do in shinjuku u can just do shinjuku

[pallid marsh]

Plus I still need that shower don't want to be that one sweaty dude at a function

[white kettle]

Today is definitely not clubbing or bar hop day for me so

[exotic oyster]

^ @frosty pebble learn from this

[pallid marsh]

Actually bought new shoes today for this reason

Outside all wet inside is bone dry

[cobalt wren]

I brought them to Japan but thought nah it can’t be that bad when debating what to wear

[frosty pebble]

Waterproof shoes x

[pallid marsh]

Famous last words

[cobalt wren]

Yeah, it was fine for 5 minutes tops

They’re just such a pain if you go somewhere you need to take shoes off

[pallid marsh]

These are slip ons

[cobalt wren]

Mine are LLBean boots

[pallid marsh]

On sale too

[cobalt wren]

I’m either 0 or 100 on weatherproof

[pallid marsh]

Was like $80 bought for 20

[worn furnace]

@pallid marsh remember that dude who fell asleep in our train ride lmao

He fell on the floor

[pallid marsh]

Yup

[worn furnace]

[slow ridge]

I will pay for and share any <$150 wine with you, that you can acquire which you think is good. Only requirement here is finding somewhere to share a glass and talk about our travels 😄

[white kettle]

Bruh u guys making me want to join shinjuku

[fickle osprey]

[pallid marsh]

Last train for asakusa area is around 2330

[empty pike]

[slow ridge]

[pallid marsh]

Shower done, brush I forgor my towel and made a mad dash for it lucky not house mates around

Ready to step out feel nice for all of 5 min before the humidity gets me again

[jaunty aspen]

Bruh I’m all soaked

[pallid marsh]

I can't man, i would feel too gross

[brazen hawk]

Real

[inland breach]

Anyone in Fukuoka and wanna meet up

[noble meteor]

I went to fukuoka 2 weekse ago i can recommend cheers bar

Really nice staff all speaking english and a nice blend of foreigners and japanese people

[inland breach]

I don't know how to socialize with strangers in a bar unless I met with them prior

[noble meteor]

Ah thats a shame i went there alone had a great time

[junior edge]

If it's a local bar with a counter in Japan then people will probably talk to you, especially outside of Tokyo (but also often inside it)

[noble meteor]

Ye it was the same there

[inland breach]

Bro, the other night I went to a bar with a counter. I ended up drinking alone. No one talked to me and I even tried to talk to some one nearby. Never again lmao

[frosty pebble]

Nah bro who’s in Nagoya rn I’m eating yaki alone

[junior edge]

If it's a more open bar with lots of people milling around then yeah it's hard to talk to people if you go on your own. You will feel like a lone stranger invading someone's group

[junior edge]

You can often talk to the bartender if no one else...

[inland breach]

That lady was busy multitasking on 10 different orders lmao

[exotic oyster]

heeeeey habo how’s things with you

[junior edge]

Hi I'm busy as always, usually planning or going to or sharing events

and making videos and stuff

[inland breach]

Man, I wish I had friends back in the states. I would have paid for their entire trip to have some one join me

[west wagon]

Bartenders will usually want that, just making drinks gets boring sometimes🙂‍↕️

[white kettle]

Time to unwind

[exotic oyster]

If you pay for mine i’ll be right there 😉

[frosty pebble]

If it helps I’ll be in Fukuoka at the end of the month lmao

[inland breach]

Tempting. But I have a week left

[exotic oyster]

But yea, what habo said. I found a quaint little cocktail bar near my hotel when I was there and I had a blast talking to the master

He introduced me to his friends after when they came in

[inland breach]

I honestly mainly came for a man with a mission concert on the 15th. Though I have been here for almost a month

[white kettle]

This is the best kind of experience

[exotic oyster]

It really is

[white kettle]

U almost cannot do that with any bar in shinjuku or shibuya cuz of how packed it is

[exotic oyster]

The master was a swell guy too

[exotic oyster]

O yea for sure. I was 1-2 subway stops away from shibuya and it was a quiet lil district

[white kettle]

And if both u and master are interested in each others culture its a blast

[paper marlin]

It feels ominous when you call him the master

[frosty pebble]

Some bdsm shit

Bro got dommed

[inland breach]

It's just weird and difficult for me to approach or talk to strangers. A meet up is easier since you know the other people are expecting you.
I just never had the chance to socialize during my school years, I focus on career building

[exotic oyster]

smh not everyone is as salacious you

Lemme see if i can find a picture

[paper marlin]

I never said it was salacious 😢

[exotic oyster]

Quaint bar (after it got sorta crowded)

[exotic oyster]

Oh i feel you. Its a hit and miss thing. Im the same as you but the owner was extremely friendly and started talking to me

in half broken japanese we somehow had a great convo

[exotic oyster]

Oh sorry then its AY AY RON

[inland breach]

Bro, I either freeze or overthink and start walking around the area when I try going into a bar alone.

[exotic oyster]

You should def join a meetup here when you can then

just avoid aaron, kitkat, or japremicist and you should be fine

(I kid, they’re awesomely fun people)

[inland breach]

I have. Quiet a lot in my previous trips. Not a lot on this one

It's easier for a meet up since you kinda get to know the others before doing some activity. Is an easier environment

[exotic oyster]

Haha i hear you man. I loitered outside that bar in my photo for a good 15 mins before deciding to head in

[paper marlin]

That's valid

[white kettle]

I dont know how u guys can drink get crunked and be fine to continue the next day

I just dont

[frosty pebble]

Fr fr

[exotic oyster]

The secret is hepalyse

[white kettle]

I would need 3 days downtime at least

At the damn least

[paper marlin]

That's the secret cap, you don't need to get fully krunkd 😎

[exotic oyster]

get yourself a hepalyse and you’re good to go every day

[frosty pebble]

I find the easiest way is to go to a bar where you know you’ll find English speakers, like an Irish pub

[inland breach]

But no one was in okayama, Hiroshima, ominisha island, Nagasaki, Kumamoto, Kagoshima and now Fukuoka

[exotic oyster]

Not fkin aaron recommending the hub

[paper marlin]

The hub is English isn't it

[frosty pebble]

Me in 2 weeks going these places

It’s over

[pallid marsh]

It's pretty ez when you give up on sobriety and reject your humanity

[frosty pebble]

The hub is my home bro

[inland breach]

Great places to explore and sight see but not for meet ups

[frosty pebble]

Well I spent the past 3 months drinking daily in Tokyo so, I think I can take a break now haha

[exotic oyster]

Yea the absolute worst

[pallid marsh]

Its English innit

[white kettle]

I went to the hub once.. i can get the same experience in local bar of my country
