Rather than just spamming the off topic topic whenever I check online I've decided to go with a thread.

From OTT:
I successfully made it to Japan. Flying long haul SUCKS.
Sure, having meals on a plane was novel (don't get that on flights around Europe anymore) and the cool little media player thing was awesome but it was generally cramped and nasty. I'm sure some of the food didn't agree with me either which added further nastyness.
Now though I'm here. Its 8am back home, 4pm here, though in my head I'm thinking its like 8pm...yesterday. Saturday just vanished for me.
I'm also sharing a room with a guy who looks very much like a heroin addict- an observation I made to myself when I first met him at the London orientation. Turns out he's alright despite not drinking though, he is a bit on the old side however so I suspect a past to match his looks.
Not that its important.
This is weird, I'm meeting and making friends with people who are getting posted nowhere near me. One awesome potential target in particular but she's off on an island somewhere. Pah.
Right now I'm knackered, can't be bothered with exploring town, but not tired...
___
When I went out with some people we ended up in a little restaurant. Ordering was 'amusing' with me being the one who spoke the best Japanese and my Japanese being only marginally better than my Russian (...ROSSIYA MATHUSKA! DA! PRIVYET!...err...nyet...and.....yeah....). Luckily there was a English menu which had some small descriptions.
One girl who came along was a total vegetarian. Doesn't eat meat nor fish. Obviously there wasn't really much on offer for her which displeased her. Strange she wouldn't eat fish, most veggies do. I always thought there was a different word for a vegetarian who doesn't eat fish like there is a word for those who do eat chicken.
I went with something with a untranslated Japanesey name. The description said it was one of the most popular dishes in Japan and was a sort of fried chicken. When it came....it was KFC pretty much.
I guess the description was accurate, according to what I've read KFC is popular in Japan...but still....bah. What a trick.
Oh well, I've got all year for experiencing proper Japanese food.
____
Sleep was weird. Crashed out for 4 hours at 5 or so then went for a walk around the surrounding neighbourhood (there's suppsoed to be a red light district around here somewhere...couldn't spot it) before returning to my room to crash again. I woke up unplanned at 5am.
hmm...I guess thats kind of a normal time to get up...I shouldn't have screwed myself too much....but we'll see tonight.
I think I'm going to avoid most of the effects of jetlag due to the lack of sleep over in England and just generally being knackered in general.
When walking the streets some random old lady asked me where I was from then started giggling and nattering to her friend when I said England. Which was queer.
I also tried something from a vending machine which I thought was a form of iced tea. It was foul. I had a few sips before tossing it away. I need to find out what it was so I know to avoid it. Some sort of bottled green coffee maybe?
___
The hotel is swanky. I feel like I'm spending a fortune just being in the lobby. Tonnes of staff in silly hotel staff clothes of the sort I've never seen outside of a movie from the 50s.
The room however wouldn't look out of place in Skegness, very 70s, the old school giant clock thingy is odd.
Not that I'm complaining.
______
I've not really been in the mood for Tokyo, I've been wanting to get settled at my new flat first. But this way of course by far makes the most logical sense. Its a shame I won't get to see much of Tokyo in this stay but for me at least that's not a big deal, I'm two hours max away. Must suck for those being posted to the Japanese version of Sark or Aberdeenshire though, to be here but not getting to experience it.
______
The weather is a lovely surprise. I was expecting it to be hellishly horrible and hot like Greece. Instead though its just...warm. And nice. A bit muggy but I really can't complain at all, quite akin to what I'd class as perfect weather. I can wear whatever clothes I want and am comfortable doing anything.
And yes. Rambling a lot. Just killing time as I'm up damn early (5am? I haven't known there to be a 5am since I was a lad....) and breakfast isn't until 7.30.
Fabulous Squeeze. Hope you have an awesome time.

Very little. I haven't been studying it recently either, have been busy with other important stuff.
My Japanese is quite backwards compared to most foreigners, I know hundreds of kanji but my spoken vocabulary is tiny.
I have no idea what you look like. :lol: I just know you drink all the time.
Then here's Admiral Yi's basic survival Japanese.

Yes, though I didn't mean it in a nasty way, just that it would be a short-cut for Lettow to satiate his Japanese longings and Tyr, well travel man* that he is, would get to meet some interesting Americans on home turf.
* I'm assuming Tyr hasn't yet been to the USA or at least the West coast/Utah/Nevada that Lettow was so interested in.

Don't know any details, but according to wiki there are 2,000 Japanese Jews.
Actually the wiki, if it is to believed, has some fascinating stories in it about Jews in Japan and occupied territories during WW2:

Have fun! Try to see if you can sneak a catgirl past customs when you leave. If you have no use for her, I could find a loving home.
I'll be following your journey with interest.
(Languish is absolutely right about going to Hokkaido. Sacred secessionists! The republic of Yezo! ara, ara! swoooon~
although of course kyushu is tea country and that's also wonderous. Really, Japan is just the land of milk and honey where everything is roses and nothing is evil. A land where evil doesn't exist- like Utah.)

Well when I was a vegetarian it was because I didn't care much for the taste of meat - not any moral reason. Many of the vegetarians that I know, are such because they get sick thinking about meat. Now definitely maladaptive and something I think is worthy of therapy, but not the result of moral convictions.

Aha, so there is a linguistic distinction.
Strange it goes that way, pretty much all vegetarians I know eat fish. Cue non fish eating girl: They're not real vegetarians, mwaaa Luckily she's going nowhere near me.
Last night I had my first earthquake. Woke up randomly in the dead of night to my bed steadily vibrating and the coat hangers in the cupboard shaking and hitting each other. It was quite alright really, just a gentle rocking like being on a bridge with a passing lorry, only without the sound. Though it does make me wonder if people in Japan bother with having nice, fragile things- they'd have to put them on very low shelves, just in case.
I also hung out with the people going to the same prefecture as me. They mostly seem quite alright. A few from San Francisco, a guy from Boston, two Canadians- one of whom is a gaysexual who acts rather 'normal' most of the time but when he started drinking he suddenly turned super stereotypical. Which was odd.
We went and found Kabukicho after we were advised by the organisers not to go there and it was the one area of the Shinjuku map they had left blank. It was lame. The girls were....wrong looking. They had strange eyes, artificially made up to be bigger than they are and nasty died blonde hair. Not much to see at all- though I did notice one sign in a pub window, guiness for 800 yen a pint. Ouch. That's worse than London.
Also apparently they have the Big Issue in Japan. Which is unexpected

you've got to get past the comparing prices in Japan with anywhere else. The rule of thumb used by those of us who knew the score was that anytime you bought anything for less than 1000 yen - it's like it's free.
There are lots of great reasonably priced Japanese beers. what's the Big Issue btw?
What's a gaysexual?
The Big Issue is a magazine sold by homeless people.
I'm alive, I've sort of managed to get internet at home finally- I've got a mobile and I'm tethering though so its not proper internet.
Enough to get started however. I'm sure theres a better way than the app I'm currently using but I've very little idea how to use this thing, first smartphone I've ever had.
Yamanashi is bloody hot. But pretty. My predecessor has really tried to cheat me with selling her old stuff however. Will have a face off with her on Thursday.
Proper write up of things and photographs to come when I get around to it. I've been super tired lately with my messed up sleep cycle (jet lag was a real slow burning torture for me), the heat, the discomfort of my not yet set up home and how much I've been doing.

Your credit me with far too much of most things, especially at my age.
Anyway back to Tyr as it's his thread.
So, first day here I was met at the bus station by my supervisor who then showed me to the school, took me to the bank to open an account, the supermarket to buy food, my new flat, etc...
I'd heard a lot of bad things about this woman before I came. My predecessor mentioned several times she was far from great and another guy muttered stuff to this effect too. First impressions though...she seems nice. Quite gobby, talks a lot about her life and whatnot, but helpful and decent. I'm quite pleasantly surprised.
According to her it was my predecessor who was far from great. She spoke of having to clean the flat before I arrived due to it being filthy- my predecessor had to wear special shoes indoors so insects wouldn't bite her and during the cleaning a dead mouse was found somewhere.
I am....not 100% feeling at home here yet. I really need to get sorted and do some major cleansing.
Somewhere out there in the multiverse there exists a 16 year old version of me who was bitten by a radioactive gypsy and developed the ability to see the future.
That girlfriendless loser who suffers from a spot of yellow fever and anime love hates me for it seems I have developed a super power of my own. I can barely say hello to a group of Japanese school girls without them bursting into fits of giggles.
Its a very strange experience. Loads of them keep saying I'm "cool"; ey? You don't know me...you don't know how cool I may or may not be. Apparently the Japanese throw around compliments like rice at a (1960s) wedding but still. Weird stuff.
Just the other day one girl let out a kawaii des ne about me when talking to her friend. Now this is bizzare. Women have shit taste, this is known; why aren't they all gay afterall? But me? And kawaii? Those few women who have deemed me worthy over the years most certainly did not do so because they considered me 'cute'.
I only hope that this will carry over to girls of a more acceptable age.
But then I used to be a school kid too, I know how it is. Any remotely passable looking teacher under the age of 30 is regarded as attractive. Oh well.
School doesn't start properly for another fortnight, until then its the summer holidays, yet unlike teachers back home everyone here still has to come into school and as I've already mentioned a lot of the kids do too. I'm in a high school which pretty much covers college and year 11 (15-18) so I guess a bit of adult behaviour and exam stress is expected but to this extent? Coming into school everyday in their uniforms to swot and take part in their clubs...
For days some sort of street dancing team was drilling in the yard outside. Apparently a few days ago there was some event at city hall where the high schools of hte city would try and advertise themselves to new students and the kids were really getting quite into making their school look good. When I bought my phone too the girl at the shop said she was an alumni of my school and so gave me some sneaky discounts.
Its just...totally the opposite attitude of back home.
Back home school is the prison, teachers are the enemy, the day the shithole burns down is the day we will all be happy. We're just doing time there as its what we absolutely have to do if we want to stand a chance of getting anywhere later in life.
Here though....major school spirit. Its strange.
Oh. And another thing to mention- the stares. Often I'll catch someone just staring at me. Last weekend I was sitting on a bench by the side of the road, taking a break (so much walking last weekend, my feet hurt like hell) and a moped stops at the traffic lights in front of me. The old guy on it just shamelessly turns and begins examining me. Freaky. And not the only time it has happened. And this is me, an average looking, average height guy, in urban Japan, one guy I know has been placed in a village up in the mountains and he's blonde and about 6 and a half foot...I dread to think what he is getting.
As said I've sorted my mobile and have an unlimited internet data plan but have to wait until the end of this week before I have proper internet. I'm on a crappy laptop at the moment too (my dad found it behind some bins), haven't got my desktop together yet. Hopefully this week too there. Life should be taking shape soon.... I hope.
I've been wanting to write this properly in word but I don't have that on here so have been putting it off. But oh well.
Oh. And a PS edited in. Very strange coincidence. The week before I left I watched Kagemusha. The only Japanese film I've bothered watching for a good few months.
It just so happens this place is famous for its connections to the main character from that film, there's even a big statue of him in the prefectural capital by the station.
Nobody else much cares but this coincidence is standing out to me for some reason.
Don't forget to leverage the exotic factor into quality pussy. Hell, you could probably set up a stable of rotating girls if you play it right. :contract:
Good stuff Tyr :thumbsup:
The "minor celebrity" thing just for being European is a bit double-edged; while it can be annoying it also means you will not be ignored.

The reason it's like that in Britain is that you're a product of entitlement, and you hate the idea of responsibility and respect. People like you are looting up a storm right now back in the UK.
