Are you super awesome with chopsticks yet? Also, I have heard that real wasabi is something you usually don't get outside of japan. Have you tried it, and is it noticeably different?Getting pretty good. My problem is slurping noodles, I just can't do it. It's s mental block from the fear that a noodle will get inhaled deep into my lung.

Japanese interpretation of US culture is one of my favorite thingsPunimrs thought briefly that I was being mean/racist taking pictures of the engrish fashion for my amusement, but then I explained that they were coopting American culture and language for use as mere decoration on consumer products and she should be the offended one. I'm sure Japanese take pictures of kanji on affliction shirts in America and post it on their jblogs.

I knew about the weird kit kat flavors, but wow! Kit Kat pizza! Why do they love kit kats so much?I have no clue. It's the only American candy brand with any traction at all.

She works at a Cat Cafe where people have drinks while petting cats. Also, she went to this place where she was hanging out with friends having drinks (a bar?) and there were dominatrix type chicks whipping the patrons. And then they had Shoshana put on a rubber nurses uniform.

Also, at least 50% of the people walking down the street look like anime characters.

I don't see much of it, but all that stuff is real. Cat cafes are the most common. There are countless themed bars and restaurants with weird settings and costumes that do weird crap. There are also "girls bars" and maid cafes where people pay to have women (maybe costumed roleplayers) hang out with them and pretend to be their gfs, wives, dominatixes, anime characters or whatever.
I've only been to the Internet famous Robot Restaurant which at this point is more like a batshit broadway production than a restaurant.

Most of that stuff is concentrated in the big nightlife, stereotype j-culture areas like Shinjuku or Roppongi, but it's def real.
I've seen many weird/insane buildings and houses but not those. Looks like a love hotel.

Do they have cool sneakers there? Or are they the same stuff we'd get in the states?Mostly the same? Domestic laced shoes have zippers on the side so you can get them on and off easily without un-tieing. That's kind of cool.
New Balance seem to be the most popular sneaks here, probably because made in America.

Kanji are a [redacted]. Your are illiterate until you can read 1000 or so. Kanji are composed of any number of 216 radicals which are the basic building block kanji. The best part is that each kanji has 2 or more pronunciations: the Chinese pronunciation and one or more Japanese pronunciations.
Schoolchildren are considered adequately literate when they know 2000 kanji.
Oh. There is also romaji, which is the official approximation of Japanese using the English alphabet. No clue how they typewritered, but this is how the majority type on computer. They have to type in the romaji and the computer autocorrects it to Japanese characters.

kind of, evolved from pictures. sometimes there is patterns, sometimes patterns don't work. each character is a simple word and one syllable, which combines to more complicated words. an example is, dragon is 1 character. shrimp is another character. dragon + shrimp = lobster. cold + box = refrigerator, people + monster = tranny, etc. this is for chinese, dunno how the damn japs do it :curse:

how does j-pay work? do they pay you in dollars and then you have to convert for local stuff or whattttt?I work for America and get paid in Ameribucks. I have to change cash to yen at an exchange or get out yen from a 7/11 ATM. Most things are cash here but I can use credit cards sometimes.
Rent, utilities, internet, all cash. You take your bills to a convenience store (konbini) and they scan the barcodes and you pay them cash and they stamp them about 40 times and rip off some parts to give back to you.

The texture is really challenging. Like the gaggiest loogie you've ever hoarfed into your mouth.
The smell? Ass-y feet.
The flavor is surprisingly mild. Like a really mild, slightly nutty homemade soap.

The Corvallis affect, water near the equator is pulled more by the earths rotation than near the poles. This creates a clockwise motion to the currents in the northern hemisphere. Those currents bring humid tropical water from the equator to the westernmost extent and cold temperate water to the easternmost extent. Interestingly enough, this also explains why Europe is much more temperate than it ought to be along the atlantic. Those same forces bring water from the gulf. Impeded by Greenland it doesn't venture as far north and thus cool down as much as Pacific waters do passing alaska.
Man, I almost forgot about freshman physics :)

PP: thick Yokohama style noodles, seared pork with blowtorch
NN: no egg, broth too salty, pork was chewy and old tasting.
Glad I branched out, but sad I wasn't rewarded with a superior experience as positive reinforcement. Another few reps at my fave before I try again probably.

Enough gear to survive temps ranging from hot to freezing. Rain gear in case it rains (thank God it didn't because I just had 100yen ponchos from the daiso).
We overpacked snacks of course. Bring shitloads of water or prepare to pay shitloads for it. Save water for the descent because there is nowhere to buy it on the down trail and you will get super dehydrated like me. If it's a weekend or holiday, prepare for it to be ridiculously crowded with thousands of people. Look out for people altitude sickness barfing. It's not super high, but the rate of ascent catches alot of people by surprise. Gold Bond your chafe points.

Boston Marathon, organized event, qualify, bla bla, ok that's challenging even though thousands of people are doing it.
But Mount Fuji...
300,000 people climbed it in 2009. That's not exactly an amount that is exclusive enough to exclude people that aren't in top fitness. Also, if the kind of people that buy a 100 yen rain cover can climb it, that also speaks to how challenging it isn't. There are no technical sections, no need for special equipment, belaying, crevasses, etc. It's a hike, simple as that.

Not true, it's a separate trail. The down trail is the tractor path they use to bring supplies to the top. It's actually the hardest part. The whole length is switchbacks of maybe 40deg down that is entirely loose gravel/sand/ash.
And no toilets or places to buy water!

that's the first long stretch. its actually more difficult than you expect because you are slogging through sand/gravel/ash/ loose rock

emo, correct me if I'm wrong but do mountaineers call this "scramble"? I'll wait for your mountaineer correction. Be sure to point out the lack of carabiners, crampons, belayers, or ice axes.

When did Emo say a water slide is challenging? A water slide is slightly more challenging than metabolizing oxygen. That's about it.

The challenge of killing an elk is inclusive of every effort expended leading up to the moment. I didn't think that needed explaining but some of you are surprisingly obtuse.My point is the hardest part of killing an elk is the hiking. Not the actual shot.

What has been your biggest adjustment living in j-ville so far (apart from food)
change: uprooting my (our) life and starting fresh somewhere I (we) don't know anybody or anything about anything.
Literacy: Out in the world I am basically illiterate. I am gradually figuring out useful things like food, beer, places. I have really gained a renewed appreciation for literacy which I previously had taken for granted.
work: I have to work a lot harder under stricter conditions. I have it figured out now so this isn't really bad. It's nice to change things up and have to prove yourself all over again.
driving lifestyle: unless you live in New York City or "The City" American's are used to being able to easily drive anywhere whenever. Not here. A car is an albatross. A curse and a burden. Unless I'm going to work or a mall or big box store its hell to find parking and when you do its super expensive. Also driving on the tollways is redic expensive. imagine it if cost $35 each way to get from MHK to Topeka. Also you can't drive at all after having even one drink. DUI is a super huge deal here.
culture: group harmony. not disturbing others. minding your own business. good of the whole. This is the opposite of America and quite refreshing. this way of being is more in alignment with my natural self. Few things I love more than minding my own business.

puni why do you add the Japanese translation of a thing? Like, it makes me think it's more than just a translation but I can't really put a finger on how. For example, in Spanish:
They served this wonderful condiment meant for scooping up with chips, chopped up fresh tomatos, cilantro, onions, "pico de gallo."
But it doesn't really seem the same or even comparable.
He was specifying that the lady had to do a "gomennasai" and not a "sumimasen".
Quote
"Sumimasen" is like "excuse me," for a light apology, or when stopping someone on the street to ask directions, when trying to pass someone in a narrow street, etc.
"Gomennasai" is "I am sorry," a real apology.

I know several people who moved to Jutland (rural) Denmark for the company. Moved their wives/family there. While Danish people are super nice, they also pretty much don't do anything after 5 or 6PM. Not much opportunity to go out to dinner or movies or stuff like that. They just hole themselves up inside their homes and be with their families. Which, nothing wrong with that of course, I/we mostly do the same thing now that we have a son. But, it makes it very tough to integrate for an expat and his stay-at-home-wife and family.

puni why do you add the Japanese translation of a thing? Like, it makes me think it's more than just a translation but I can't really put a finger on how. For example, in Spanish:
They served this wonderful condiment meant for scooping up with chips, chopped up fresh tomatos, cilantro, onions, "pico de gallo."
But it doesn't really seem the same or even comparable.
I don't really understand your question but mostly I'm just name dropping Japanese words to look cool but in that instance the intent was more educational?

Well confirmed it's cool as eff, "suave."

Puni, do you get lost often since you can't read the road signs?
Google maps works pretty well most of the time for driving, trains, and walking.
The Digital age has made getting lost obsolete.
It's boned me a few times though.
Sometimes it shows the incorrect terminus of the train you want causing you to doubt yourself and miss your train or get on the wrong train.

How did Japan receive the Last Samurai?I'll ask. Normally they love any direct attention for Japan and they also love the subject time period in their entertainment, but would probably laugh at the portrayal of feudal samurai Japan as anything but brutal and cruel. Samurai are normally the bad guys in their telanovellas.

Is the culture more or less restricting for the Mrs? I mean, relocating to a place where you are more limited in the view of society would kinda suck. Seems like most of Asia would be like this. :dunno:
Basically no. Nothing that limits her. Its definitely a male dominated society with expectations of traditional gender roles, but on the ground it feels more egalitarian than America. For as much integrated misogyny seems to appear in the culture there are just as many surprisingly advanced views on women.
I will try to share some relevant anecdotes slash tidbits.

So gambling is pretty popular in a lot of Asian cultures, hows the j- ambling? A
generally illegal with the exception of PACHINKO parlours which are practically on every corner. basically the slot machine experience but so incredibly loud and smokey its almost impossible to imagine. the #ack? its still technically illegal to gamble so instead of winning money you win a "prize" like a stuffed animal or something that you sell back to them for real money.

Pretty good hat
(https://goemaw.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fuploads.tapatalk-cdn.com%2F20161025%2Fd8c1ef2939ae1db3fd7befc09974412b.jpg&hash=27c2b865511e794b82fefbde044c5812f6a160e0)
ship me that hat immediately. will paypal american dollars.
i'll check if its still there. I may even try to haggle!
I did buy the hat... now you have to convince me to let it go.
one possible snag: how does your head circumference stack up against a median nihonjin nugget?
is it stretchy? I have no idea what my fitted hat size is. I have one royals snap back and one royals stretchy regular hat. I never wear either.

its in the news, mostly about Obama speaking and then about Abe's scheduled visit to pearl harbor later in the month.
no real changes on that day. I do have some old guy coworkers who love to talk about it. one has a big conspiracy theory about how the soviet union tricked japan into the attack.
generally everyone is pretty much in agreement that it was a bad idea.

The only reason it was a bad idea was that the carriers were out to sea. Even then, how else to devastate the Pacific fleet with almost zero losses?
War with America was the bad idea. The pearl harbor attack was the best way to kick it off and was ridiculously successful.
most articles find a way to mention that admiral yamamoto, the architect of the attack, was completely against war with America and predicted total defeat and disaster. But he got told to make it happen, so he did his best.

I guess I need to learn (remember) how Japan even became aggressive in the first place, how their alliance with Germany came to be. If war with the US was inevitable it was a good idea.

Yamamoto had been to the US and seen the vast resources of the US and knew beating the US was next to impossible but the "brain trust" of Japan was a dangerous combo of ignorance, arrogance and desperation in charge of a general population with unquestioning loyalty and duty as its #1 trait.

The Japanese had some very strange ideas about race and culture that made them a "fit" with the Germans in their own way. The book I want to read is the history of this philosophy and symbolism and how North Korea adopted their ideology and adapted it to Korea.

Might the Japs have been able to achieve a stalemate if it weren't for the bomb?
Well they "conditionally" surrendered any way, so yes. I don't think it would've been in their interest to continue in a prolonged fight in the Pacific, but there probably would've been more concessions about keeping territory in China and the US would not have as many navy bases in the Pacific islands and Hawaii might have been much less like a tourist destination and more like a major naval outpost.

they wouldn't have had much negotiating leverage. if the us would have been reluctant to finish them with conventional forces, the soviet union would have been happy to step in.

I doubt the USSR would've worked that hard to establish a front on the other side of China. They didn't have the air force or the Navy to threaten Japan. If we assume they don't develop the bomb before we did or were as free to use it as we did.

A blockade of the home islands would have starved them into surrender in a year or two.

As a semi-related question, are there any noticeable effects on the culture from being on the receiving end of the bombs? I've seen some theories that Japanese sexual fetishes stem from the shame/shock/fallout of those events and ww2 atrocities in general. Same with germans and poop.Probably, but they were into some weird crap long before the bomb.

Imperial Japan aspired to join the big dogs and be a global empire like America, Great Britain, and Germany.
I think the axis pact was meant to act as deterrence to America to let Japan grow their SE Asian empire.

I think you would get in trouble for sleeping on the job. However, the Nihonjin snarf their lunch in like 5 minutes and sleep the rest of their lunch break. They all have eye masks and footrests an just kick back in their desk chair. One guy has an alarm clock that wakes everyone at the end of lunch.

The more I read the text(I read many languages, including Chinese, and Japanese) the more I feel like this is not for you. Yet, it's done and posted and everyone should enjoy.

I went further into explaining the systematic whitewashing or stereotyping of azian roles in Hollywood and they eventually were like "huh, I guess that kind of sucks if you explain it like that"
I watched a video on FB where they asked Japanese people the same thing and then had to explain like you said and they had pretty much the same reaction.

If you are talking about Aloha, that character was a half-Asian who did not look Asian - that was like a major part of the story (or so I've heard). Do you know how hard it would be to find an Asian actor who does not look Asian but is still Asian enough not to get the whitewashing backlash???

puniraptor, please compare and contrast the japanese carrot scene with the american carrot scene.
comparisons: available, orange, whole
contrasts: no "baby" carrots, round fatties compared to long skinnies, not used very often in local cuisine
in general, the quality and diversity of available produce here far exceeds the US norm. carrots seem to be an exception. I really only see this one kind, but in my experience they are very good as far as carrots go.
Post by: puniraptor on April 05, 2017, 10:05:53 PM
Puni, how concerned are you that nk will drop a nuke on your head?
not very. japan is protected by fully modern US missile killing tech and I don't think NK will be successful at putting a nuke on a missile for the duration of my time here. I think the biggest risk of me being nuked will be if I travel to Seoul on the wrong day.

In the Obamacare thread, there was a chart that said 25% of Japan's population is 65 or older. I was unfamiliar with this.

its an impending demographic apocalypse. they call it "the Big Problem". The gov has been trying a bunch of things to raise the birth rate but no dice.

raw horse review: very hemoglobin-y. very chewy. I think these slices were too big. it didn't really break down when chewed, so I just formed it into a sphere for swallowing.
flavor was most like lean bluefin tuna sashimi, which is probably why they like it. I don't have any evidence that "they" like it though because none of the Japanese people I was with tried it.

It looks like you put a bag of dog poop in a case that molds it to a vaguely bone shaped creation. And then attach the case to the back of your car? I guess it's magnetic? Lots of lolwtf going on there.To avoid having a poo smell in your car? Seems like a good seal would alleviate the need for the magnet. But who knows.

low dog poop IQ
Japanese people don't wear shoes in their homes, they def don't put crap in their cars, good seal or not.
exactly. but get this... they take the dog poop inside and flush it down the toilet
Is the donpac+ really much better than the donpac????
I think it's size. the plus holds a 600cc whopper
Pro-tip: throw the poop bag away before you get to your car :th_twocents:
there are basically no public trash bins anywhere.* except inside convenience stores and nobody would be so inconsiderate to the beloved 7eleven employees.
you are expected to take your trash home with you.
they actually make cute little handbags specifically for holding your dog poop filled bags as you are walking your dog so innocent people aren't grossed out by seeing your poop filled dog bag. every Japanese dog walker has one.
get this other invention: our Japanese dog poop bags have 3 layers: first is like flushable toilet paper in direct contact with the poop, second is a normal plastic poop bag and third is like a mini plastic grocery bag with handles/ties.
you pick up the poop with the whole deal, twist shut the plastic poop bag, and carry that in the mini bag with handles (if you don't have a poop purse). when you get home, you open the poop bag, dump the poop paper into the toilet and flush it, then you can put the poop bag into the handle bag and tie it shut for an airtight seal and throw it in your home plastics trash.
*I know you mean just chucking it into the woods American style

puni, after the incred intense newness wears off (if it does) how is it to live in Japan? like have you gotten to a point where you were like "I'm settled down and this sucks/rules/mediums"?
it does somewhat wear off, although I am still amazed by something at minimum twice per week. I am settled down and it pretty much rules. I fear I will have trouble re-integrating into American society when the time comes.
also I will probably bow all the time and freak people out

its like a savory pancake thing, a batter base full of veggies and meat fixins that you cook on a tabletop griddle in front of you.
top it in special sauce and mayo, sprinkle with seaweed and fish flakes.

How much are whole briskets at American Costco?(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180715/0db0e73f460b4073fd1f1f074f4c9458.jpg)
I wonder how big of a seller brisket and other 'que meats are. I've also wondered if there are any 'que joints in Japan and if not how successful a good one would be. Could be my retirement plan.....move to Japan and make ribs, brisket, etc.

Great stuff, hope you avoid the typhoon!Looking pretty gnarly, another direct hit. At least this time its not the middle of the night and I won't be trying to sleep. Hatches battened, but our house is only like 50m from Tokyo Bay so a little worried about storm surge. Our house is pretty new so I don't think it will blow over.

Members of the university's American football team, the Kyoto University Gangsters, were arrested in 2006 for gang rape, which had been recently added to the Penal Code in January 2005 following the Super Free rape controversy. The three students had forced a female university student to drink liquor to the point of unconsciousness, at which point they gang-raped her. They were all convicted.

its canned coffee of some kind. Boss is Coffee Boss, the leading vending machine canned coffee brand. i think it is a new promotional flavor or maybe just a promotional can design? the sign next to it had instruction on how to win a spirit of boss baseball jacket. TLJ is the living personification of their pipe smoking gentleman logo

That's great. How often do you buy from vending machines? I remember them being everywhere in Tokyo
all the time all the time, they are literally everywhere even outside of tokyo. hot coffee can is essential in the winter to keep your hands warm.
i was actually spoiled by having vending machines everywhere that when i went back to america i almost died of dehydration.
if there was a konza prairie trail in japan it would have at least 5 vending machines on it.
i found another beer vending machine in my local area. it had some kind of fake drivers license interlock device (?) but gave me a beer just for money. I'll try to remember to post a pic when i get back to tapatalk vpn territory.
