/jp/ - Otaku Culture

I actually went to Japan, not because I like the Japanese or their culture or had any interest in it but for the FIFA 2004 cup.

What I liked:

The nature: their environment really is one of a kind and quite alien to a Euro.

Old architecture: the older buildings and villages they left intact, as well as some of their "castles".

Some of the markets, particularly the ones where they sell what would be junk to a Japanese but pretty cool for a tourist.

The food was alright, beyond sushi and all that (though the cuisine is still quite alien), I hated the tea though, I prefer good old black tea.

The trains: They are fucking badass, if you go to Japan jump on a muffugin train, just don't buy their sandwiches, they are shit.

Toilets: it's nice to have water squirt at your anus, like a bidet in a toilet.

Volcanos/geysers/mountains: again, beautiful and I got to cook some eggs in a geyser.

Japan on Monday approved a fresh $8.9 billion in aid for the operator of the Fukushima nuclear plant as the company said it expected to lose a similar amount this year. The decision means TEPCO stays solvent, but continues to run up costs as it struggles to clean up the mess left behind by reactor meltdowns and meet claims for compensation following the March 11 quake disaster and resulting nuclear crisis. The 690 billion yen aid package was announced after Tokyo Electric Power revised up its estimate of what it would need to compensate victims of the worst nuclear accident in a generation, to 1.7 trillion yen from 1.01 trillion yen.

The new government cash will come on top of the 890 billion yen in aid that it has already agreed to give the troubled utility, making a total 1.58 trillion yen. The company must find other sources of cash to plug the gap. Announcing its earnings forecast for the year to March, TEPCO said Monday it expected to lose 695 billion yen ($8.95 billion), worse than its previous forecast of a 600 billion yen shortfall because of expanded compensation.

trying to get a working holiday visa in japan just had some questions...

My major concern at the moment is the fact that i have to fill out a schedule for my stay while i'm there, like they make you tell them what you are going to do every month. the visa application form i'm fine with. the other form i'm kind of concerned about....declaration of intent? it says i have to put my contact info from where i'll be in japan, and it has two sections?

HELP

Sup /jp/, I'm in the 10 year of the JET program. Ask me anything about Japan. If you need help with your Japanese 101 homework then just ask away; I'm level 13 Japanese certified.

Or if you just want to chat about the Tokyo night life or Japan's marijuana culture then that's cool with me too bro.
