Maybe if I knew how to play mahjong I'd consider it.
I wouldn't have anyone to play with, though. ;_;

As for my dedication; I actually went to a job interview today in order to get some funding for my trip to Japan next summer.
I really hope I get the job.

If I get the job, I might as well think about it if I can see it before I buy it.
I'll at least make sure to take pictures and post them here.

If I get the job, I'll be looking forward to 3 months of full time work (as in cycles of 7 nights work, 7 nights off). 3 months of pay would be $11000 (before taxes).

Taxes are 40% or so, so I'll probably only be able to get $7500 or so with me without cutting into my savings.

I kinda need some new clothes too, but I figure I'll last a while in Japan with $6000.
If everything goes to shit, I'll make sure to bring a USB key with my online banking certificate so I can sell some stock or transfer money between my accounts.
I wonder how I'm supposed to bring a truck load of manga, figurines, and other stuff home.

>> No.2590308

>>2590297
In HK rules the wall is 18 tiles long, and has special tiles called flowers and seasons. Each flower and season corresponds with a wind. If you pick up a flower/season that belongs to your wind you get 1 fan, if you pick up the flower/season that belongs to the prevailing wind you get 1 fan, or if you pick up all 4 flowers or all 4 seasons you get fan as well.

I never bother with the flowers/seasons anyways because it detracts from hand building.

There's a really nice one on there that folds up and comes with a tote bag to carry your tiles/mat in. I'd recommend it as someone who carries my tiles in a shitty case everywhere, something you can sling over your shoulder is far superior to holding a case's tiny handle.

Its relatively inexpensive too which is nice. Like $30-40.

Slower, but far more cheaper and my only personal negative experience is the name of some town in East Europe written across the parcel with some marker.
Amazon.co.jp offered that shipping option until some years ago. Not anymore, unfortunately.

Well, I just liquidated my personal savings hoard that I've been building for a couple of months at $20/week out of my personal budget just so I could get this. Tenso's estimates on shipping to the US is also about 6000 yen (over $60).
Now I just need 3 more friends to play with.
