Candy Boy GiveawayI read frequent the site not just because of all the Japanese content, but because its all first hand account. There are lots of sites with just pics etc. concerning life in Japan, but DC really is one of a handful of incredibly well made life in Jap...
Tokyo Photo Walk 6As usual, great pics!
Yeah, I don't think people realise how hard startups really are. Not so bad if you've got a bizillion dollars, but tough if you are doing it without VC etc.
One of my relatives started a software company the same way, just on...
Mirai Inc UI Designer WantedGreat to see your company is growing Danny, hope you find who you're looking for.
The poll kind of makes me think though. I really enjoy being a developer, but I'm not entirely interested in the business sectors that my company works in, which makes...
Windows 7 Japan LaunchWell, I use Vista, never had a problem with it at home, but as a company we still use XP because of all the release issues Vista had.
The software company I work for skipped Vista, but theyre going to be migrating all us developers over to W7 at the...
Dancing StormtrooperNice Danny, get your groove on.
Aha! I used to not exercise at all for about a year, but recently I started jogging again, cause I was getting too fat. So I could answer few times a week. *feels motivated*
Apple in JapanYeah, I used to think their stuff was so expensive because it was good, but when I saw the failure rates in the Macbooks I changed my mind about Apple.
I love my iPod touch, but the iPhone is really overpriced, and Im not sure I want to own a Macbo...
Japanese Music DownloadsJust recently started buying music online, not too happy though, as I soon found out Nokia music only sells music in DRM protected wma format, so I have to burn it to CD and rip it into iTunes to get it on my iPod.
No iTunes store here.
La Chaîne InfoEnglish is my first language.
Very good at Afrikaans(basically a mixture of Dutch and German), which is only spoken in my country. Wish they'd taught us something useful at school, Spanish would have been nice. Going to learn Japanese though, will d...
Tokyo CafeNo Starbucks here, but their business model wouldn't work here anyways. Coffee shops here are more like restaurants that specialist in coffee. People here don't really grab coffee "on-the-go".
I love the taste of Starbucks though, at least I can buy...
Food Costs in TokyoI havent really got much cash at the moment, so its usually something simple, 2 homemade hot dogs, which works out to 8 ZAR ....which is 1 USD!
So yeah, I could eat lunch for nearly 10 days on Dannys average daily lunch cost, though I must admit veg...
Downtown Tokyo Fishing BreakJust to clarify I was a "responsible" fisherman - only fished during season, if you catch a fish that is under regulation you throw it back, etc. etc. Its mainly non-regulation fishing that kills the rivers.
Downtown Tokyo Fishing BreakI used to go fishing a couple of times a year when I was still in school, used to catch fish that were about 40cm - 60cm in a saltwater river. Unfortunately there arent many fish there anymore, maybe its just that it the areas have been over-used, or...
Firearms in JapanIn my country its really stupid. All the criminals have unlicensed firearms, and now the police are trying to take licensed firearms away from the citizens, stating that they want to reduce crime. But the problem is the CRIMINALS with firearms, not t...
Breakfast in Japanif I dont eat breakfast, I am hungry THE WHOLE DAY!
I usually eat, just basic, like a bowl of Corn Flakes, and a fruit or something. People should remember to take a multivitamin with their breakfast as well, very important. :D
New iPod nano demoI still have a 1st Gen iPod touch. No reason to upgrade yet, Id never use it for anything more than music/movies, which it already does, so I guess I'll just use mine till its too old or something.
Mirai GaiaYeah sure, there were a lot of "not so good" members posts, I think I probably posted a few as well! To be honest I think a lot of the "bad posts" are because people are just inexperienced. I guess not everyone has been blogging. There were some memb...
Anime ToysYeah, my Y resolution is 1440, so bring on those 900's!
Your pics are usually so awesome Danny, would be nice to have em even bigger to gawk at those Tokyo city lights !
Tokyo Figure Show ReportOH MORRIGAN!
Always been in love with her... (and in love with her big eyes! ;)
Im not big into figs, but that is one that I would lurve!
A Week in Tokyo 39Really want to get a Full HD monitor soon. At the moment mine is only 19inch, but a 24 inch running at 1920*1020 would be great. Theyre only about 275 USD here, which isnt bad at all for such a huge screen.
22inch and above is awesome for work thoug...
RapelayBDSM is completely different.
Slave and Master both consent. Rape = no consent. Or did you miss that part?
Slutty singers, want to be slutty, they enjoy the money and attention.
Theres a reason rape victims are called VICTIMS.
If we dont ban rap...
Rapelay"What makes it different from any other traumatic incident?"
Are you even listening to yourself?
Theres a pretty big difference between getting punched in the face, and having a man rape you from behind, or would you have trouble choosing one tha...
RapelayWELCOME TO SOUTH AFRICA, my home country, and rape capital of the world...
-So raping in adult videos is OK and games is a nono?
Im glad someone brought that up, makes sense though. Doesnt help to fix one but not the other.
Japanese Deskshaha, that is true. People are the same the world over, they just have different cultures, but people themselves are the same in most ways.
