BTW, sorry to go off-topic, Danny, when can all us eager applicants of those Translation and Content Manager positions that you offered on this site a few weeks ago know when's the deadline and when is the earliest date that the lucky ones could be c...

A slight correction to Danny's statement here. All telephone numbers in Japan since 1991 are 10-digits long when area code is included. So for Tokyo (Area Code 03) it's 8-digits, for Yokohama (045) it's 7-digits, etc. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

Ah, if you only have announced this a month ago, for I've already gone ahead and bought my own HomuHomu Nendoroid. She's still standing adorably besides my PC as I type this. <3

Application for translation job duly sent, Danny. (My email with this DC.com account is different from my real name account. )

He's the Suntory Boss guy, the can coffee that Tommy Lee Jones drinks in those TV commercials. (Google it)

Moomin - "Sleepless". Never knew he had such an ominous kanji name.

Rira-Akuma (Rira-Demon) LOL

Ah, I always knew Hello Kitty had such a badass kanji name. (Pronounced the same but rough literal translation would be: Hegemononic Demonic Emperor)

Guys, you know what that wall of Nendoroid boxes reminds me of? It reminds me of one of those ancient cave grottoes with numerous small Buddhist (or was it Christian?) statuettes engraved on the walls I've seen somewhere from Discovery Channel / Nati...

OH. MY. GOD. And I just decided it was the time to splash out on a HomuHomu Nendoroid today, but after seeing this collection of yours, I feel tremendously poor. lol

Experienced my first Hatsumoude this year. First went to the local small temple on Jan 1st, then went to the "local big temple" - Kawasaki Daishi for Jan 2nd. While all these festivities are indeed fun to experience, it also means the entire country...

Happy New Year, Danny.

Wow, didn't expect you to actually respond, Danny. lol Currently I'm lodging at Suginami. But I'm looking to move somewhere in Kawasaki along the Toyoko line. (I am still contemplating whether to live in Meguro, which is closer to my school, but the...

I'll be moving to somewhere along this line soon, Danny. If we're lucky, we may see even bump into each other someday. :)

Matsuya - provides decently authentic Japanese meals at budget-traveller friendly prices.

AKA Papadum http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papadum

Just watched it today. Even though it's the first Monday after the release, the cinema's still packed with people. An enjoyable movie. Having studied in UK before, seeing Kyo-Ani faithfully bring every part of London in animated form brings a sense...

Those of us from the Commonwealth English-speaking countries would probably be concerned about this guy's safety if he were do make this particular "Churchill V-sign" over there. lol

Let me guess what the difference is: The portion has gone smaller? Blame inflation, my friend, it's happening everywhere.

Judging from the scale of the bowl from this camera angle, I'd say the portion served for Laksas in Japan is much smaller than the usual average served elsewhere. Even Hong Kong restaurants have larger bowls than this.

Danny, why don't you just combine both A and B so everyone can be happy? i.e. Still have Mirai with her serafuku on, with her buttons opening to reveal her cute bikini underneath rather than nothing.

But Danny, I'm already here in Japan. :)

Danny, are you sure that's not really you being sick and tired of your trooper uniform? :)

I thought SUICA Cards are supposed to solve that problem for you and save you from having to use change for train tickets. This a different train company that's not accepting SUICA?
