Transparent UmbrellasI doubt inserting one of these brollys into your botty would affect it's durability, but it's not something I'd be keen to try.
I bought one of these from a conveni in Osaka for ¥500, it seems I got ripped off -__-; It was quite durable though. Did...
A Day in Tokyo 4It's called a space saver spare. I've never had one in 7 different cars. Even my Fit has a full size spare. Great that they save space, not great that they're limited use. Don't you put snow tyres on at the start of winter and put your normal tyres...
Japan Drivers LicenseL and P plates for those who don't know, are white plastic squares with a red letter L or a red or green letter P that we have to place on the front and rear of our vehicles during probationary periods to indicate to other drivers that we are new to...
Yearly SicknessWow. 39.2 is a nasty fever. Get well soon.
What is a high temperature?
•37ºC (98.6ºF) is about normal body temperature
•38.5ºC (101ºF) or over in adults, or babies under 1 year old - contact your doctor
•39ºC (102ºF) or over in children 1 to 1...
OnsenDanny, you forgot the part where you have to crouch over a miniature stool and wash your b0llocks in front of everybody, or was there a private b0llocks washing area there?
Looks cool!
Tokyo 1999 - 2001I think the Zebra crossing symbolizes transition towards your destination. Maybe it was impregnated in your subconscious that you felt you had the right to make this transition, but there was an underlying doubt or fear that it was not going to work...
Panchira Shots: Week 18Anyone got a link for this photobook?
BTW Danny when I tried to reply to this comment and the login prmopt box appeared beneath the comment it didn't work. I entered my details and clicked login twice but nothing happened.
Japanese MannersI experienced this on a train in Tokyo. I was shocked that nobody got up for a frail looking old lady but she must have considered it to be normal practice. She was stunned when I offered her my seat, sat down gratefully and proceeded to engage my wi...
Figure LifeI packed two gunpla that I assembled in Japan like this to ship back home and it worked very well. Fold the top of the bag over and tape it and pack it so that it can't be popped with soft surrounds.
Japanese NeighborsThis is the cool and interesting not-so-common knowledge kind of stuff that interests me alot. Stuff that you otherwise may not know or find out unless you live in Japan. I really enjoy these posts Danny, thank you!
BTW I think we need a third optio...
Mobile Phone Usage in JapanI would like for my 9yo boy to be able to have a mobile phone restricted to a white list of numbers, parents, emergency services, and friends approved by me, and capped at three minutes call time per number per 24 hours before it cuts out. If they co...
dannychoo.com on CNNGreat article. I hope to have time to watch the CNN story later. I'm intrigued. I like the new article page layout as well, but would prefer to see the articles being read now etc on here. I think that's where you get people to stay here longer, it w...
New Article Detail PageLooks like there's a bit of a bug in the commenting too, as you can see with "particu particularly" above. That's happened to me once before but this time I'm sure it wasn't my typo.
New Article Detail PageI like the related articles, articles being read now, and latest items. That's where I'll usually go after reading an article. It's particularly good when I come across an old article of interest that I've missed or some interesting member news. If t...
Good Smile CompanyYes, runs smoothly. I had hoped to see a note on plans for future international availability - "stay tuned for a list of retailers carrying our products in your area soon!" or something..
Good Smile CompanyNice work. Looks similar in design to something I can't put my finger on.
I only ever clear cookies when I notice performance is lacking and I do a bit of a tidy up.
Outrageous. Rock spider maggot scum get shanked in the lungs. I don't know anything about "loli", nor do I want to, but I certainly question any man who wants to look at underage girls for arousal whether they are animated or real. It's a fine line,...
Japan Prime Minister ResignsThey do seem to change very frequently of late. "Lionheart" Koizumi served for 5 years though. I know little of the man's achievements (or injustices?) but I liked him for his crazy hair and his staunch position on visiting that WWII shrine every yea...
GundamThat Zaku with all the extra clips and armour?? Is that a custom build or something we'll be seeing available for purchase in future?
Come back Gunota!! Sad, sad news. I hugely appreciated the work you guys did and I'm sad to see you go!
Sorry for...
GundamHayden I really liked the PG WZC too. I documented my snap build here if you're interested in taking a look: http://www.evilcow.net/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=863
Came up pretty nice in the end if I do say so myself ^^
