-gumi senseis at night in shinjuki, at the best cabarets. We get sushi and saki in the mornings at sukaji market and party til the sun rises in the rising sun.

Don't you mean... tamaguchi?

nah, Tamagotchi-gumi drives domestics, we don't fuck around with that. In our clan, you better not come with any less than RB26DETTVVTi-twinT04 HKS Power, or you're gonna get crushed on the Roppongi-dori.

Have been to Japan many times at this point in the past 10 years, but I might finally move there for good at some point sooner or later. Further details as they emerge I guess. Kind of scared because I'm far past my wonder of Japanese shit and am more into the fact that fast food restaurants just work the way they're supposed to in Japan and don't think about much else any more. It's more like 'hi, polite Japanese person, yes, I know Japan has everything under the sun and you guys guys clean it up and price it double, yes this is a great country, thanks for having me.' Though I'm no longer surprised any more at how convenient a lot of stuff is, nor the prices of things in Japan.

^^ Why would you eat fast food in Japan when the quality of even the worst hole in the wall restaurant there is better than most restaurants anywhere else in the world?

Anyways, as a NYC resident, only up until now with JPY at 85 does it really start taking a bite. I found that deflation really hit Japan hard and for most things its actually on par or cheaper than NYC. Cabs is the one thing that sticks out. 90% of food and services, especially top hotels, is on par or less.

Well, I've been to Japan so many times now, eaten so many things, bought so much shit, found places I like, but one of the good memories I have of Tokyo recently is going to some darts bar in Ebisu, drinking a lot of beer, and stumbling out to the Wendy's (which obviously closed since) and experiencing some perfect Wendy's at like 3am in the morning. it was picture perfect. Yes, I know there are tons of great restaurants and tons of restaurants that think they're great but not, and I know you can buy all kinds of shit there, but now, all I want out of Tokyo are the small pleasures. If I end up back there, you can probably find me drinking in Ikejiri-Ohashi.

I just spent 6 weeks in Japan. Mainly in Sapporo, but some time in Osaka and about a week in Tokyo. I liked Sapporo the best, and the locals were very nice to us Gaijin.


Gas Panic!


Seriousry... I can't berieve I actually went there. But in my defence, I didn't know what it was when my friend suggested we go there.

Club Atom in Tokyo was pretty freaking awesome, but unfriendly to Gaijin.

Gaijin, please! What are you going on about? Nampa-ing hairdressers at a train station counts. Matt's in.

I was wrong; it is the dead-fish counter! 一尾、二尾 Note that we must count Mollusks (of decrepitude or otherwise) differently, but whatever...

Nihongo wa hanase masen.

Watashi no namae wa Sherlockian dess. Spent some time in Nihon, but definitely still the gaijin. Fascinating place...if one can actually make a meaningful and valid observation of a whole nation based on just a few weeks' visit. If only I'd been more SF-aware at the time, I'd have stocked up on primo selvage denim too. FML.
