In Tokyo for the week

Spy photos tell the real story!!

I've always wanted to visit Japan. Just have no idea where to even start to go or what to do.

I've heard to NEVER stand your chopsticks upright into a bowl of rice. Something to do with bad luck or death/funeral or some crap like that. Is that true?

Correct. That's bc that's similar to what happens during a funeral when a final bowl of rice is set up as an offering to the dead and they put the chopsticks in it like that. so if you do it at the table....

...

I saw the big Buddha, the temple honoring children lost in childhood, and hiked in a really beautiful forest, given how densely populated the Yokohama area is. I picked up two soda bottles at one temple. Under a little foil cap there was an orange O-ring set in a groove with a marble held up against the seal with the gas pressure of the soda. When you pressed with your finger, the gas escaped and the marble dropped into a pinched area in the bottle so it did not block the liquid when you took a sip.

..

Ramune. It still exists, but its not that common bc its a PITA and it comes in tiny glass bottles. But you can still find it.

If you don't speak a bit of Japanese, is it a good place to go on vacation?

I have I-don't-speak-your-language-and-am-afraid-to-travel-there-aphobia

Yes! It's gotten noticeably better with Olympics coming up, too. All of the train stations, at least in the Tokyo area, are in Japanese/Korean/Chinese/and English. So many places have English menus made up and if you don't know or can't read you can just point to a picture or to the fake food display in front of the shop.

I have an interview after the rollerball match tonight.


..


Walked 11 #$&#$% miles yesterday without realizing it. I don't like to say it but I may be getting too old for this sh*t. I need to whip this rubbery gob of lard into shape with more rollerball workouts. Also found myself taking a lot fewer pictures than I used to. Maybe bc I've already shot a lot of it, but I dunno. Right now its 3:50am and the jet lag is a thing still.

Here's a few from the area I'm staying, some from Shinjuku, and a pic of the room. Tiny but functional. Sucks bc its "winter" so they have all the AC turned off, but it was 70F yesterday and hot AF in here. The weather turned last night and its only going to be about 50F for the remainder with lows in the 30sF.


(Fixed the pix, managed to export thumbnails somehow. I dunno)




I dunno why this pic is being a dick, but lets try this:

Responds to everyone but me - it's definitely the tiny hands.

Also, I could never do p*rn in Japan what with them blurring my junk... I figure all the hair down there is sufficient enough concealment already.

They blur it out because "technically" p*rn is illegal in Japan

That’s funny bc “technically” that is legal here believe it or not. Went down a google rabbit hole once trying to translate a store front sign and found way more info than I really wanted.
