What is there to say? I'm in my third year of film production in university. Film production sounds much more glamorous than it is. There's a lot of long nights, agonizing over minutae and sunken faces in the morning before deadlines.
Mirai SuenagaWow, this is certainly nostalgic. I have most of those files saved already - great to see them all together! Now we can skip the lengthy in-comment answers for new members and just point them to this page. ^^
(Speaking of which, haven't seen all of...
Google Android GiveawayI feel guilty for being gone for a week for homework...anddropping by just for the giveaway since I heard 'bout it from Twitter. ^^;
Japanese ConstructionHere, they'd probably just go for the downtime. Cheaper, and far less effort required.
Of course, this has to be taken in the context of the relative traffic/passenger load each system handles. The Toronto subway system isn't remotely as busy as Jap...
SushiQuantity.
I'm serious. I like quality as much as the next person, but when it comes to food I usually just go for "good enough" quality. I'm a poor student with a big appetite. x_x Usually I just got to a decent all you can eat place and pig out, be...
Queuing in JapanIndeed. Throw in the Asian (or heck, *human*) liking of free stuff and you get people who line up first and ask questions later. ^^ I'd do it. Except that I usually join the cue, and immediately ask what it's for before deciding whether to stay.
Japan Silver WeekI think it's really just a matter of a public holiday falling on a long weekend - in other words, a 5 day weekend. The Japanese just decided to dub it a special name, what with their penchant for naming everything. Here in Canada it isn't all that un...
A Week in Tokyo 45image ID#78405 - that tape you have on the Dollfie heads looks like a traditional Japanese samurai hairknot or something. ^^;
I'm not going to try and guess what's in store any more. x_x There's too many surprises and I never get it right. Do like L...
Train Groping in JapanBIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU.
^^; Joking aside, that's a good point. Face recognition these days is pretty advanced. I doubt it'd be perfect, but it can get close enough not to matter. Would it work in the mad rush of people though? Say your woman ac...
Sunset in JapanI take transit/get a ride, then walk from bus stop or wherever to classes. Would love to be able to bike to school, but when the commute is 2 hours as it is already...
Kingyo SukuiBut y'know, if festival fish die so quickly, wouldn't the festival vendors quickly go out of business? If all their fish keep dying even when no-one wins them...
Then again, festivals don't last very long, maybe a couple days to a week, so maybe it'...
Breakfast in JapanUsually do grab breakfast - have to, or I starve hours before lunch time. ^^; If I don't have enough time, I grab a can of V8 vegetable juice and that usually holds me over until I can grab a snack during break.
Of course, the exception is when I ge...
Japanese MikoshiThat sounds like some sort of setting for an anime. Mysterious shed...curious guy...it's openned one day and inside is a shrine.
Now you just gotta wait for the michievous/naive/condescending deity (likely young and female) to pop out and tell you s...
Japan Conbini SoupSorry, no help from me. Choices here basically amount to Chicken, Beef or Seafood. Maybe a couple more depending where you go. Saw much more variety when I was in Hong Kong/Thailand this summer but none of those are the same brand.
MeguroYup. I just walk around unheeded. A concerned neighbour once told me I shouldn't walk alone late at night with my mp3 player out - the glowing screen attracting attention and all - but I had only one earbud on, my music was quiet, and I could hear an...
Starbucks Japan...Wait a second, just took a look at the price tag. 210 yen? Are you *SERIOUS*? We'd have to pay at least double, no, triple that here.
I weep.
Sumida RiverAdd to that the complication of how many people would actually make use of it on a regular basis. >_> Obviously, those who get to use it won't complain, and those won't don't...
Toronto started working on its waterfront near my house a couple years...
Commuting in Tokyo...Trying to read it properly, but...Singapore is by far the only ones with yellow lines for passenger-line-up. ^^; Hong Kong has them, and Taiwan has them, and Beijing has them, and those are just the ones I've been to.
Tokyo Krispy Kreme DonutsDude! I would so wait in line, grab a free donut, and leave. I don't mind waiting a bit, but usually I just need one donut to settle my craving anyway.
...would that be absuing the system? ^^;
Hair Cut JapanI think it's just a matter of 10 minutes for a cut. You pay 1,000 yen, and in exchange they promise/try their best to get it done in 10 minutes.
Vending Machine Prices in JapanChris wrote this, not Danny... ^^;
Haven't tried Calpis; I've had Pocari Sweat, and it's okay. Tastes like an energy drink, though not as bad as Gatorade or whatever weird artifical flavour we usually find over here.
Toppo LED LightThat reminds me of the Yotsuba&! slogan, actually. "Today is always the most enjoyable day", or something to that effect. Quite different, but the phrases give off the same feel.
