Apple Support in JapanI didn't have to pay a thing, except for the phone call. A guy came with a box to pick it up. It came back all wrapped and sealed as though it was new :D Altho the sticky plastic made all my stickers come off!
Conveyor Belt Sushi ShibuyaDidn't realize it was such a rush there when we decided to take visiting family, all 10 of us, 2 then decided they didn't want sushi, 4 wanted to sit together, all whilst we were about to be seated, plus we had a pram to get in there. It was chaos!!...
Tokyo Typhoon Train TraumaGo home!
You might get onto a train but then be stuck on it for 2 hours cos of further delays like the people I saw on the news just a minute ago. They were just let off the train now... Didn't look happy ^^
Sunset in JapanTook it a few minutes before posting it. The daylight gets shorter here the closer to winter. There's no changing of the clocks tho, like there is in the UK.
Sunset in JapanI don't think I've ever seen anyone wearing a helmet here, so you'd be fine. Altho people tend not to ride on the roads and ride on the paths instead.
Learning Japanese KanjiI always wished I'd studied Japanese back in Univeristy, but I guess I wouldn't be here working as a web developer for Danny if I hadn't studied computing. I'm kinda doing things backwards ^^
Learning Japanese KanjiDecember is the last time they will be using the 1-4 levels. Next year it's N1-N5.
Nice list, I first learned the kanji for Monday as Moonday ^^
Learning Japanese KanjiI find nearly all of it difficult to do, but I'm trying different ways to make the repetition fun. Carrying cards around with me and reading out the ones related to what I'm doing have made it a bit more interesting.
Neighbours in JapanIt was washing machine liquid, and we gave them sweets.
I'm told it used to be tradition to give soba noodles, something to do with the length of the noodle signifying a long friendship. Maybe washing liquid signifies a non-smelly friendship ^^
Japan by nightIt takes me about 40 minutes to get to Tokyo. From home to work it takes me about 1hr 40mins. I get a seat going both ways so I just open up the laptop, stick in my headphones and the time vanishes :)
dannychoo.com Korean VersionThat song is incredibly catchy, listened to it far too much now ^^
Found this related vid on Youtube. 0:56 made me LOL http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvm-U8njGAM
Japan Free TossThis would have confused me no end, being British and all. Thanks for the explanation lol. They must be pretty strong to be able to toss a grown man (it still sounds so wrong!), but I guess they really want to be tossing lighter and cuter girls ;) (S...
Mac FanDamn, that is some bad budgeting lol, I hope he had some good times at least. I'm on a budget at the moment, but I had saved up for the Mac previously. I have to say that since I've moved here I've grown a better appreciation for money. Always lookin...
Mac FanCongrats Danny! I just arrived in Tokyo and bought myself a MacBook Pro. Best purchase I ever made. I can't afford to eat now, but at least I have the internet ^^ I'll have to look out for that magazine in the shops... not that I can read Japanese ye...
