Oh god. Please avoid reading the comments on that account. Save yourself the headache and stress from Japanophiles and incels commenting. lol

I need plates like that. The food looks yummy!

Woah, I'm almost certain I stood in front of the two Japanese ladies on the train this evening after work! They were seated in front of me.

Hell yessss. Cocoichi is so bad and expensive as hell. Still don't understand why people fly all the way to Japan to eat there. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Checked out a small Daffodil Festival at Kasai-Rinkai Park. I've never seen so many at once so I didn't know they give off a pleasant smell. I usually see them growing wildy on the side of the road and by themselves or in a small cluster. Not enough to notice the smell. Enjoy some flower energy!

I love natto and blue cheese! I need to try this ASAP!

I believe!

My Suica Card - Your Secure Travel Card by Rail in Japan Heard about the "My Suica card"? A secure alternative to the standard Suica card with the same tap-and-go train access in Japan.

I think there's also something called My Suica card, which never expires.

Yeah I'm pretty sure Suica cards are back. The Welcome Suica cards are the red ones for 28 days. But I'm positive you can get the normal one too. You should be all good homie.

It's still 3 years out. I'd like to know more details or if they'll go forward with the other idea of using your phone or bank card's IC chip directly connected to your bank account instead. If they combine both features that would be cool.

Sunset skies over the Tokyo area tonight. Fuji-san was partially visible. You can make out the silhouette hiding behind some clouds.
I'm always thankful to be able to see this just a few meters away from my apartment front door!

I heard it's a possible sign of dementia posturing. But another likely reason is he puts 2 inch heel lifts in his shoes and it forces him to lean forward. His obesity is even more visible with the leaning forward too. Guy is so insecure about his height. 🤡

Happy birthday! Welcome to the 40's club. The afternoon tea looked great!

Be safe my friend. Shit is fucked right now in the US. If you can, move to Japan. If you figure out the paperwork and details, it's possible. America is lost.

Interesting. I was also in the area at the same time and remember all the Capitol Police barricades and strict protocols back then. My ex did an internship with The Hill newspaper and a lot of my peers at the Corcoran ended up working there or for WH Press. Being in DC now must be so... weird!

Yeah, like right after I snapped this pic some parents shoved their little boy in front of them to take a pic and the kid was literally crying. hahaha

Oh hell yeah, that's gonna be totally worth it man, for the comfort and guaranteed seating. If you ever ride a JR train and see they have a Green Car, it's a good option.

A subway poster features a snake slithering through the train door and getting trapped as it closes.

This Tokyo subway poster warning passengers not to rush onto trains gets updated every year to match the Chinese zodiac. (This year it’s the year of the snake.)

The scary mascots for an Aomori Rice Fair at Toyosu Lalaport. Their heads are supposed to be bowls of rice but it literally looks like exposed brains or something. Children were scared and borderline crying being forced to take pictures with them. 😂

It should be a crime when companies advertise one salary and then say something totally worse during the interview. Huge red flag.
And I feel your pain about trying to break away from ESL work. I'm also stuck in it. We'll get out of it soon enough!
Good luck!!

This is why I ride the Green Car on some trains in Tokyo. When the normal cars are absolutely full and my legs are tired and anxiety is flaring up, I can just sit in peace and quiet while enjoying lovely views from the window. It's worth the extra money for me. 😌😌😌

Thanks! My FB account was hacked and closed a year ago and FB support was literally impossible to get a hold of to ask for help. Their help page just kept suggesting to log in, but can't do that if you're hacked. 🤦🏻‍♂️
Threads was OK until Zuckerberg fucked it all up recently. No regrets leaving there.

Well, I left Twitter for Threads and now I just left Threads for here.
I hope those in charge of this platform don't ruin this place by allowing hate speech and false information to run unchecked.
I have very tiny reach here. But we all start from scratch, eh? Be safe out there everyone!

A sunny morning view while heading towards Tokyo Station on the Ueno-Tokyo line. This type of scrolling scenery never gets old. I remember coming to Tokyo as a child and being amazed at how many damn buildings there were out the train window. ✨

RIP David Lynch. What a visionary and creative surrealist. I grew up with his movies like Blue Velvet and Dune, as well as the TV series Twin Peaks.
My only other indirect connection with him is that he attended my Alma Mater, the Corcoran College of Art & Design in Washington DC. 🙏

I haven't touched this account in a year. Been active on Threads for awhile but decided to check here too after hearing about the mass exodus from X. I'll be bouncing between this and Threads to see which I enjoy more.
Anyways, enjoy this random scene from a random back alley somewhere in Tokyo. 😎

Why is there a mosquito in my apartment on December 18th? WTF
