Punimrs 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.

(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160225/94e523708a312b3f75f758c2feea2d10.jpg)

Review: Smelled exactly like sake! Flavor was basically white chocolate cherry pepto super bubble. A fun novelty and gift, but not the kind of snack a guy wants to come home to every night.

Puni, do you watch the show Girls on HBO? Well Shoshana moved to Japan this season, and I want to know if it is really like it looks on the show.

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.
(https://media1.giphy.com/media/l2JJtOM1rXNpnBi7u/200_s.gif)

And this is where she lives...

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

Haha rad. I've seen into somewhere in season 2. Should I watch more when I get hbogo for 3 months to watch GoT?

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.

(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160324/749248116bf94970fc46ae03f37437e8.jpg)

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.

There are times and places where people who are dressed up like anime characters or other unusual fashion gather. You can see them migrate to the train station Friday nights and Saturdays.  Typical workweek anime character population: zero (not counting the people who have to dress like that for work)

Weekend anime character population: 5%? (This is still a shitload of people)

As a large bearded white guy, they probably think I am an anime character 100% of the time.

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.

I am sure this has been covered, but isn't their alphabet really just word shapes? Then, when you write, you write words on top of words or something?

They are called kanji, that is all I know about this subject.  Hopefully someone else can fill in the gaps.

There are 3 character sets in simultaneous use at all times. Hiragana and katakana are syllabaries that each have 46 characters and cover all the sounds available to the language.

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:

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 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.

Mine is normal height cubes? 3 sided 5.5 feet tall.  Most Japanese company offices I've seen are totally open with no privacy.

So there's about 30 ramen shops within 20 mins of my house but I've only been to 5 and normally just go to the same one every time because it's my favorite.

Tried a new one today.

(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160721/99eb6f6bea9dbd093b0da1d38398901d.jpg)

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.

Headlamp is mandatory.
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.

In this instance I am serious, yes. 

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.

I had considered that as an unknown but I'm not specifically familiar.  If you told me the failure rate was significant (more than 30 percent [even because of weather]) I'd be willing to reconsider my assessment.  You think the Japanese are tough as crap?  Why?

I do think it's pretty badass to make it a goal to be up there by sunrise.  Americans don't generally do that here, like on 14ers or whatever.

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!

While you may want to avoid the Obon Week, we believe that by avoiding the crowds in general, you would miss out one of the most interesting aspects of climbing Mount Fuji, which is the camaraderie and unique experience of ascending the mountain among hundreds of equally minded people from across the world.

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

maybe the bottom 1/3 is mostly like that the top 2/3 is more like this

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 Emo does something it is challenging. It matters not what it is, if Emo is a part, consider it arduous. We are all just pretending we have any concept of the struggles, battles, and work that he has put in to achieve even a modicum of success. I, for one, lay down my sword. I'll go home and let my name die out after a few generations. I'll come to rue the day i attempted this mountainous ascent to Emo's mindseye, but am glad to say I met a titan.

so last Monday we got the day off due to a direct hit by a (pud) typhoon. A bigger typhoon was supposed to hit tomorrow but its tracking way north now and we probably wont close the office. When I expressed my disappointment that I wouldn't get a free day off work (making today a Monday Friday), the Japanese workers GASPED IN HORROR.

the very concept of wanting a free day off work and even more than that expressing it out loud is apparently a major thoughtcrime and taboo

So would the day off be a Saturday or a Sunday?
A Sunday is a day you don't work but have to work the next day.

Not me or us but 6 day workweeks are generally common. It's still a weekend, more people are off work than a weekday.

I don't know how j-weekends work but normally on a Monday you didn't work the two days before and on a Friday you don't work the two days after, so my definition makes sense.

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.

do many people ride bikes around you? what about vespa-like scooters?
Title: Re: #Ranchihakku: super kawaii shokunin ranchi borogu (with bonus non-lunch content)
Post by: puniraptor on August 29, 2016, 11:50:36 PM
bikes and scooters are everywhere. they normally ride on the leftmost side of the road and are supposed to have a max speed limit of 30kph but can pass traffic. they also can ride on the sidewalks if they yield to pedestrians and dismount at crosswalks. In reality its straight up fury road. They split lanes and weave in and out of cars and generally terrify me. Basically the Japanese accident liability is as follows pedestrian>bike>scooter>motorcycle>car>truck>gaijin. Basically if you get into a crash with a bike it will be totally your fault regardless of what happened.

one of my coworkers got creamed last week riding his bike down a hill past stopped traffic when a car suddenly turned left in front of him and he t-boned it and got effed up. the car was assessed complete liability, so they have to pay all the damages. Also she had to come meet him at the police station to offer him a sincere personal apology, "gomenasai".

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.

Side note:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I've been looking out for this. The front packer rate is actually quite low (when not on the train). it may be skewed because the majority of people use messenger bags, obscuring their frontpacking nature.

I walk through a series of tunnels that get a massive breeze. I switch to front pack when the wind is at my back in an effort to evaporate some of my sweat.

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.

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.

The book Flyboys by James Bradley is excellent at giving a pretty good description of how insular the Japanese culture was.  There is an actual event that some believe was the cause of Japan's militarization but I don't want to spoil it if you interested in reading the book. 

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.

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.

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.

another book that somewhat touches on this subject is the Flags of our Father's book and it made the argument that the "island hopping" battles like Iwo Jima showed US decision makers that Japan would never surrender and they might really do the every man, woman and child thing.  And the Japanese pretty much confirmed it by not surrendering after Hiroshima.

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.

What does the USSR stand to gain by taking over Japan?  Access to bamboo or something?

Might the Japs have been able to achieve a stalemate if it weren't for the bomb?
No way, they were already militarily defeated. The best hope at the START of the war was a stalemate.

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

But an extended siege doesn't demonstrate to the world your new superweapon.

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.

There's like 12th century woodcarvings of tentacle sex.

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.
The book Flyboys by James Bradley is excellent at giving a pretty good description of how insular the Japanese culture was.  There is an actual event that some believe was the cause of Japan's militarization but I don't want to spoil it if you interested in reading the book. 

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.

puni:  Can you tell me if this is a thing at your office and cross post to the hilarious things at work thread?
While common other places, it's not really a thing at our office. 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.

When I first started I went to talk to someone during their lunch break about a work thing but later got a talking to from management about how they aren't to be disturbed.

So do some airports in the states. Being a smoker and locked in security without being able to smoke is awful. I'd recommend going back in time and never smoking.

No. I tried to explain why it was controversial in America and they still didn't get it. My movie buff Japanese friend thinks the casting is great because Major Kusanagi isn't necessarily Japanese and is an Android anyway. Also they say anime is escapism because their country is so homogeneous they enjoy the exotic and outlandish foreign characters. It's difficult to explain American racial politics to a country that is so completely different.

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.

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.

I had raw horse at a bar Saturday.

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.

Seems pretty self-explanatory to me.

Quote
Donpac don pac is a pet accessory that puts pets, dogs, and puts it on the car and exile the smell from the inside of the car.

It is a case that you can put it on the body of a car with a dog's punch.
With a strong magnet! You can exile odors from inside the car.

Dempac is a case that puts a dog's dog and put it on the body of the car. With a strong magnet! You can exile odors from inside the car.

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.

Lady's dog pooped on on my mom's lawn while I was out puffing a mommy and I pretended not to notice. After she picked it up, I walked up and told her I'd put it in our trash and thanked her for picking it up. She was hot so I slapped her on the ass as payment for my good deed.

Fairly common here, probably due to the number of super old people. Pretty much a sink with like a kitchen sprayer hose.

In japan, buffet style eating is referred to as Viking Style. I think it comes from the like movie image of Vikings all around a big table gorging on a huge feast. they were surprised to learn that other places do no call it Viking style.

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.

What is okonomiyaki?

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.

american bbq joints are very popular in tokyo and suburbs
i spent 6 years living in downtown tokyo while i worked for the swiss government and while the sauces are quite a bit different than what we're used to here in the usa, they do a decent job recreating the american classic that we all know as, "BBQ".

in japan, "BBQ" means cooking on a charcoal grill.

I have walked into "American BBQ" restaurants and it was just a patio full of weber grills where you cooked your own mushrooms and prawns and squid and stuff.

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.

Booze vendy sighting. I bought the 500ml superdry to make sure it was working.

Good refresher after a disgusting sweaty mountain hike through an out of season plum grove.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200903/fd65dedfd03ac8cfe9e6cd874b4d062e.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200903/00455d3ecaa55eb3064fcc54fd269475.jpg)

It's illegal for underage people to buy booze but not to sell it to them. There is no carding. At stores a message pops on the screen that asks if you are at least 20 years old. There is only one button on the screen and it is to answer "yes".

Sorry guys, this one is really more of a recipe than a hack.

Instant ramen, cooked, drained
Beef ramen flavor chowder
Carnitas
Peas, please
Katsu sauce (like sweet worcestershire bbq sauce)

Toss lovingly, consume violently

It also looks like if you drink one you will become a mutant and have super human powers.
