[J-TALK] The General Japan Thread of Generalness

[Igadevil]

Years/Months/Weeks/Days/Hours/Minutes/Seconds (delete where applicable) in the making, at last it has arrived...

The thread for everything about Japan that isn't already in some other thread!

Taking a trip? Thinking of moving? Just want to know about the vending machines? This is the place to ask. And maybe someone will answer. Maybe not. Maybe the whole thread will fail spectacularly. But it's worth a shot.

And uh... that's all I got at the moment. There were a couple questions from the RSCC thread I'll answer later.

Ooh, pictures!

A great view of a parking lot in Osaka!

I must have one somewhere around. I dunno, if I take pictures in the street it's usually of something specific like one of those giant LCD monitors. :laugh:

Harajuku... I've seen from the train but never needed to get off at, yet. Sounds cool though. Anyone else?

Usually small ones, I'm not in a very earthquake-heavy area, but there's some shaking at least once every two weeks or so. A while ago there was a big one way north of me that we really felt, but never anything more than some rattling (no serious damage.) Still scary but I've gotten more used to them.

Do you have any plans on doing a Vlog on youtube, ala TokyoCooney?

 

[Igadevil]

I haven't seen that one, I'll have to check it out sometime. I currently lack a good webcam (and the free time to do anything like a Vlog) so I don't know. I have a couple crazy ideas for next year I may or may not get around to though.

 

[Takuya]

Yeah, the Vlog that RS is talking about is pretty awesome; the humor takes a while to get used to but after a couple episodes it's great. Love the Rider potato chips. ;D

I think this thread is awesome. And I'm sure I've already asked you about these, because they fascinate and disgust me so much...the used schoolgirl panty vending machines. Have you encountered one? XD

 

[Black Ultimate]

It's cool you made this thread Iga.

Nice pics. Those Kamen Rider Chips look interesting.

Question: Is Iwaki a city or a perfacture?

@Kev: Used panties?! I thought they were just panties.

 

[Aoiblue]

I could answer some off your questions, I know that Igadevil wont always be on.
Some of you already know I used to live in Japan,
I dont know if i can provide pictures like Igadevil,
But i could look for some.

That picture of Kobe is gorgeous.

I'm suppose to visit a sibling in Kobe for Christmas.

I was suppose to earlier this month, but due to family related issues, I couldn't.

It was very upsetting.
