the best thing about ja-pan are the convenience stores

^

where have you traveled intl before, jignx?

How long have you been there and how's your command of Chinese?

I've been here more than 8 months now. My chinese is poor, but i can get by for now

order food, get directions, small talk etc

It's probably better than what you can get at a high school or uni

Immersion is effective because if you can't speak you can't eat 8)👌

its great up to a point

Up until you need to start the PRC uprising again

it feels bad to go from being an educated person back to being a dumb because of language barrier

it helps a ton to look white tho

cause laowaiPass

many countries

any place in particular

to visit in tokyo

i mean, theres a lot of cool places. what kind of stuff you into

shrines? shopping? food?

what are your interests? I went when I was still in college so I spent time at the sega arcade and joyopolis, which I wouldn't do now cause lol@travelling to play vidya gaems

Used panties

@Windatica that's my nigga

otoh I'd probably go play magic: the gathering in japan because why the fuck not

(they have a really lively community there)

yo just

don't get lost

cause it's easy to get lost

i plan on going to arcades lol

and waste hours

its cultural, why not

idk if you're only there for a week, time and energy are a premium

the next time I go to japan I'd probably do a monthlong cycling trip

different folks, different strokes

ride bike all over the island

the arcades are great don't get me wrong but

dunno

just must see cool shit

tbh

eh.... you get a few years in it starts getting old

Im making a list right now

how old are you byte

are you planning on buying a ton of shiet

i'm mid-30s

Okay well, Asakusa has a huge ass shrine and beautiful gardens

not really no

I bought everything I needed from china

good

along with a lot of other stuff around there. Just go to Asakusa station and youll see it

seriously enjoy being there and don't sweat FOMO, learn the train system and go everywhere

>having a huge ASS shrine
japanese perversion at it again

can they top chinese "huge fuck" parks?

i like going to a new hotel every night (inb4 _lewd_)

how much is a escort in japan

:^)

lets you take in the atmosphere from each part of the city

asking for educational purposes

jignx, go to /trv/ there is always a japan general with some good info

o-o-okay

im there right now

I added some people and sent off emails

they're having meetings and they said I can join

yeah this is /csg/ and people like me have severely outdated knowledge

>not just going to philippines and buying yourself a harem of 16yo hookers

So Asakusa is good, Akihabara for weeb shit and arcades, roppongi for bars/posh life, shibuya is great, harajuku for lolita shit

16 wow milf hunter

tfw not in Akiba rn

instead I have to study and go to practice

why not best korea

im going to korea in february

or viet-nam

to get the fuck out of china during chinese new year

the thing about japan is ... it feels _relatively_ stagnant

stuff changes on the surface quickly

but the people are old

even the young people are *old* feeling

idk if you know what i mean

good, stagnant is great

k

t. lives in a city that is melancholic af

tom, buy a ticket to tokyo and lets go akiba together

you can stay in our airbnb free

I-I might. This winter I have to go to Greece with my sis and then either NYC or Rio/Sao Paulo next summer, though. That will kill my budget

yay NYC

i should couchsurf host ppl

but I have a cat

I met a couple of japanese exhcange students a few months ago and got their facebook

ppl might be like "ugh fack cat"

where are you?

I wonder if they're nice enough to meet me

i'm in NYC

lel if they don't like cats, they're free to pay for a ho(s)tel or smtn

yerp

i met some nips first time i went in 2011. we kept in touch and i saw them last time i went, and seeing them again next week

feels good

Jignx, you might like Dotonbori, it's in Osaka. Street with a bunch of food more or less. I regret not eating more sushi while there just because of the quality/price (fish sucks dick where I'm at)

Nara is a cool little tourist area, though it may be out of the way
