Post subject: ITT I speak of Japan
|
|
 |
|
I don't expect the fact that I was in Japan for 36 days to impress anyone here. Many have likely already been.
However, everyone I know offline has run out of lines to feed me to give me an excuse to speak of Japan.
Therefore, in continuing my current posting rampage (which, if the past is any indication will be followed by months of inactivity, rinse, repeat) I humbly invite thee to ponder anything about my trip, or about Japan. ANYTHING.
And I will answer completely honestly and to the best of my abilities.

Yes because everywhere I stayed had a western one.

Also, public resterooms are a nightmare b/c the squatter is much easier to um... miss (ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwX2)

What about the food, how was it? Anything in particular you'd recommend/wouldn't eat again to save your soul?

I'm not a big fan of vegetables. And I hate fish.
But the curry was AWESOME. And cheap. so hit the Karei Hausu (Curry House) at least once. And try some warm saki if you're 20. Or if you're amoral and don't care that they don't card.
What did I hate? NORI aka seaweed aka what they wrap sushi in. It makes me want to vomit like I've drank half a bottle of whiskey on an empty stomach.

Liquor. Wait... that was the GREATEST.
Weirdest... um... 6 birth control pills for 800 yen. Then again, it provides the comfort of no doctor knowing you are a filthy, filthy, whore.

Not long. Hands swift like ninja. I saw a shark get sliced up in less than 5 minutes, and almost chucked from the smell.

I ask this question only because everytime I go abroad, it happens at me at least once...
Did you run across any other tourists being a walking putz (reference: "The Ugly American")? If multiple times, which was the most annoying/rediculous?

The thing that most annoyed me was someone littering at a Jinjya. You don't see Japanese people leaving twenty ounce bottles at St. Peter's Cathedral do you?

I stuck with konnichiwa for as much as I could. But I did say hello to many, many, pretty japanese women.

So you were at absolutely no time tempted to say, "Oi! Let's have a date, ojo-chan!" (C'mon, man. Release the inner-Carrot!)
