[zealous oxide]

Thanks 🙏

[wheat dome]

Hey yall, i lost my wsllet and phone in shibuya last night. dont know how to get back there without my phone and the taxi was like 17000 yen to makuhari. If anyone is in shibuya i would appreciate if you could make a visit to the Dogenzaka Top Police Box and ask if they have found an iphone and wallet. I made report in the morning

[fervent panther]

Darude

[steel mural]

Any Sapporo people Sunday Monday or Tuesday? Long shot but I figured it’d be worth it. Also going to be in Tokyo Wednesday.

Looking for people to have dinner with or drinks, etc.

[rotund arch]

Anybody in Tokyo want a ticket to the Yomiuri Giants v Yokohama BayStars game today? I bought a seat in section B30 - turns out that’s the visitors section, and I meant to sit in the Giants section. So I bought a second ticket in the Giants section, but now stubhub/viagogo is not letting me relist the first ticket I bought even though it’s an eticket. But it looks like there’s an option to transfer it to someone via email. Would prefer that it doesn’t go to waste if someone is interested in it?

[chilly sedge]

What time is the game?

[rotund arch]

2 pm

[chilly sedge]

Damn no I can’t make it 😭

[shadow patrol]

I would have taken that if my flight wasnt today 🥲

[rotund arch]

Aww bummer! One less fan for the BayStars, I guess haha

[fervent panther]

farewell david

[wise vale]

safe travels david

[shadow sand]

One less david 😿

[zealous tinsel]

[zealous tinsel]

[brittle rapids]

If you're still in Sapporo tomorrow (tuesday) lmk! I'm in Otaru, but have been meaning to see the big city anyway :)

[steel mural]

I literally just fractured my hand mountain hiking in Otaru! LOL

I’m going to see if I can get a cast locally tomorrow. Might be free that night!

[brittle rapids]

Umm are you ok?? Seen a doctor yet?

[steel mural]

Yep. It’s splinted. Getting a cast tomorrow.

Two metacarpals snapped. Basically my hand on a rock when I slipped.

[brittle rapids]

I'm so sorry to hear that lmao, yes, concentrate on getting patched up

[steel mural]

Kinda hard to see in that photo, but if you can see the large radio towers on the top of the mountains, that’s where I was when I broke my hand

But yeah, I’ll post here updates and let you know that could be fun

[brittle rapids]

Well im glad ya made it down safely! I was over by the canal a bit earlier than your photo i think

[brittle rapids]

Yeah lmk! But don't feel badly if you just want to rest💀

[steel mural]

Otaru is very lovely!

[brittle rapids]

Bit different than tokyo eh lmaoo

[steel mural]

I’ll be getting a cast hopefully in the afternoon but am down for meeting for Mongolian beef or whatever else you might want to try!

[steel mural]

No worries if not!

[brittle rapids]

Yeah totally! I just woke up again sryy....

[brittle rapids]

Hmm would post-cast or before be better for you time wise?

[steel mural]

After! I’d be down for dinner. My apologies on the question of time. Not sure how long I’ll be there.

[brittle rapids]

Dinner sounds good! No worries at all haha

I should be available after 17:00 or so, heading to the cape today :)

[steel mural]

Perfect! I’ll be available to meet 17:30-18:00. Thoughts on ramen? 👀

I’m itching for miso ramen.

https://maps.apple.com/place?address=〒064-0806, 北海道札幌市中央区, 南6条西8&coordinate=43.052235,141.347551&name=Ramen Shingen Minami-6joten&place-id=I7B830623E27CAD3E&map=transit

This place is apparently legit and near Odori Park if you want to see that first

I can also meet at a later point if you want to see Odori in the sun.

[brittle rapids]

Shoot didnt have a connection till now sorry

Ramen sounds great!

Im on the train in, should be there 1800 or so?

[steel mural]

Sounds good!

I’ll arrive early to write some postcards

[brittle rapids]

This looks good! My apologies, i'll be more like 18:20-30 arrival I think...

Anywayy look out for a lost looking yt "guy" with green pants💀

[steel mural]

I see your pronouns! No worries. I’ll be easy to see in the sling.

Also take your time! I’m writing postcards in the meantime

[brittle rapids]

Tyyyyyyy

[brittle rapids]

Sounds good!

[steel mural]

Looks like Ill be there around 18:33!

[brittle rapids]

Kk! Standing around outside

[steel mural]

@brittle rapids Thanks again for vibing and safe travels!!

[brittle rapids]

You as well! Lmk if your arm does ok on the flight haha

[steel mural]

Only swelled a bit thankfully!

[brittle rapids]

Oh good to hear!

Btw, what was the name of the hill with the radio towers?

[steel mural]

Akaiwa and Shimo Akaiwa! I fell at the base of Akaiwa

Or on my way to the base.

Very pretty views. I only recommend the Shimo Akaiwa route if you ever do it though for obvious reasons lmao

[brittle rapids]

Defo ill try and stay bones together 💀

Shoullld hopefully be some nice lightning today!

[queen flint]

Hi, some people in Kyoto for a drink tonight? Im a french solo traveler

[gray jetty]

What kind of insurance do you have and how much did it all cost?

[steel mural]

Unfortunately, my travel card didn’t come with health insurance like I thought it did. It pays to read the fine print. All in all the experience cost about US$300.

I will still have to get casted when I go home.

There are the beautiful bones. My hand was so swollen that they couldn’t get my ring off for the x-ray. They got it off later with soap and a lot of patience.

Although I regret not having health insurance for travel stuff, this still would’ve cost me so much more in the states so I don’t really mind all that much and I was basically a walk-in and I didn’t have to wait very long . I was very happy with the service.

[gray jetty]

Awesome! Yeah $300 is chump change compared to America rates. Thx for sharing.

Would have really sucked if it was your right hand haha

[fiery socket]

Wow! Thats crazy

[steel mural]

LOL no kidding. I will say that an odd part of this experience is that Japanese people have been nonstop asking me questions and talking to me about it. This is my third time being in this country and I have never had that happen before. A lot of people are very curious. They keep asking did that happen here?

[ember stump]

I've been there!

Otaru?

[manic rapids]

my flight's in 12h but I'm already dreading leaving Japan. 😔

[brittle rapids]

Thats otaru alright!

No chance youre still there eh?

[ember stump]

No I'm in the middle of Hokkaido for the next few weeks

Currently in the middle of a forest somewhere :0

[brittle rapids]

Oh gosh getting another broken hand aint we🤠

Ill be (trying to) see some of the flowers near furano at some point this week, if youre anywhere near there lmk!

[simple grove]

Might have better luck in: #1313627070454038619 message

[ember stump]

About 2 hours north

Of Furano. Closer to wakkanai

[brittle rapids]

Wowow couldve told me thats back home (canada) and idve believed you!

[copper egret]
