HELL YEAH GOIN TO JAPAN
« on: September 21, 2010, 01:08:39 am »

So a few weeks ago I entered an application at my school for the Japanese Exchange trip to Shinonsen that's happening in July next year. Just got the news back today - I'M IN. AWESOME.

So I now have about six months to raise another $2500 or so. I already have some money towards it, but I need more. I'd really like to get the money in early so I don't get kicked out. OH MY GOD SO FRIGGIN HAPPY.

... I am happy you are happy, but don't expect much more from me.

I should probably have my head checked, because I find myself in complete agreement with Nikov.

I hear in Japan they have things that they don't have in the country you are in. Perhaps you should look at those things.

Those things will likely be very different from what you are used to.

They may, for example, have any involved text written in Japanese. There may also be a marked deficit of English speakers.

Make sure you don't buy panties from vending machines when you're trying to get beer or cigs, and you should be okay.

I can read Japanese fairly well, and speak it to a slightly lesser degree. And I can't exactly buy beer and cigs yet, so I should be fine.

Good!  Then stay away from the wasabi-flavored kitkats unless you have a lot of water around.  I hear they're sickeningly sweet.

Oh, and take pictures, and give us recipes, and, and, and... stuff.

Oh, and don't expect a warm welcome from anyone not making money off your dirty tourism. Everyone hates foreigners everywhere, and Japan is by no means an exception.

I hear they have 'maid cafes' where girls in maid outfits pretend to be servants to nerds. I recommend them so you can get an idea how happily married I am.

Not sure if this is related/the same thing, but I heard they have "Love Hotels" where no actual prostitution goes on. No, instead you hire a hostess, who you are then allowed to talk to for the next few hours. That's right, Yakuza wasn't making that up, they're real. Yeah, I don't understand it either.

I look forward to being unhappily married, then.

Great to know you're still an unlikable misogynist.
