What? explain.

[Anonymous No.]

I've never been to japan, can't afford the trip, I've calculated that for a 3 month trip I'll need upwards of like 80K USD minimum.

I've been stealing a bit more of their media today, from outside japan, though.

[No.]

Really, OP, we're not jealous. Japan is absolutely not like in the animes/Mangas/VNs. You, who moved there, should know better than anyone that Japan has a lifestyle very different from the rest of countries. Everything moves really fast. It's a very dense atmosphere, stressful. I hate it.

Unless you moved to the mountains or something like that, I'm not jealous of you, OP.

Tickets, car rentals hotel expenses, Akibahara shopping spree and the shipping that will come with it, flying to Okinawa and back, hitting places as far as Hokkaido, eating spree, blah blah blah. I can easily go over 80K if I'm not careful, remember, a good amount of it is going to cover living expenses and in japan 3 months is not cheap.

Package of cold noodles that I picked up on my adventure outdoors from 7-11 that's already eaten.

the liveaction monsters show was crazy, with frankie liking that girl and the wolfman and the vampire and the guy in a hat.
also the lack of porn everywhere is disturbing :/

I thought the alcohol and tobacco vending machines in japan required some sort of ID?

There are beer vending machines in France that don't require anything more than 2 euros.

Somes things I like about Japan
-Cheap food
-Conveniently placed stores and vending machines
-Transportation system

Other than that it's pretty meh

I kinda like their Shintoism and festivals. It looks pretty fun on TV unlike some of the main religions and festivals in Canada where it seems so serious and dull.

[Anonymous No.]

>>5249119
only the high tech modern vending machines do

[Anonymous No.]

>>5249119
some of the classy ones in public places do but your average hotel one will just be a standard vending machine.

while we have some Japan bros in one place for a change, i could use some help. My six months is almost up and i'd like to get some Touhou stuff before i leave, i got a good haul of games from Mandrake in Nakano, but i'd love to find some plushies if i can. Does anyone know any good places i can buy them? Figures would be a bonus. Any help would be much appreciated.

I have a wicked nasty cold, so I just stayed inside all day sleeping and watching my rental 2.22 Blu-Ray. I made a conbini run for food and am now boiling the water for my instant yakisoba dinner. Pic related.

Thanks but i was looking for something a little more precise. shop names maybe? I've been to Akihabara many times but i can never seem to find much. i'm hoping there is some fairly unknown shop hiding somewhere full of Touhous.

Alcohol ones no, but those are rather rare, at least where I live.

White Canvas. It's not in Akiba.

I helped you out in spite of the fact that your post included the word "Touhous". If you're grateful, kindly stop pissing me off like that.

[Anonymous No.]

>>5249186
thanks for your help, its much appreciated and sorry.

[Anonymous No.]

>>5249186
I'd say that White Canvas is pretty much in or around Akiba. Also, Toranoana.

Akiba has at least ten places with significant amounts of Touhou goods that outnumber anything else. You just have to know where to look, or just look and you will find them eventually. There is one shop, for example, about eight stories high, really small and you'll never notice it unless you happen to look up and see the poster on the balcony overlooking the main road.

So is there going to be another /jp/ MEETUP at comiket this summer?

I ate lunch with a friend. It was 850. I have no money because of bullshit like this, but it's still very fun here. I'm going home in a bit more than a month, and I'm trying to think of all the things I've yet to do.

Got a sandwich from Lawson. That's about it. Yesterday I went to Nakano Broadway, but nothing really of interest.

Nobody really cares about your trip. I've been here for about 2 weeks and I'm leaving in August. I'm in Tokyo, so I'm part of that fast/dense/stressful atmosphere. To me, it's just like any other city except the people here are much more polite, but not as friendly. Philadelphians tend to be the opposite; obnoxious, but very friendly.

Oh, and the other difference is that when I go to buy food I really can't tell what the fuck I'm getting in terms of potato chips or other snacks since I can't read the fucking bag.

Meetup? The last thing I want to do while I'm in Japan is too see you guys.

Also, call it a convenience store, not a コンビニ. You sound like an ass and it makes it seem like you're trying to hard to say it's much different from a 7 Eleven in the states.

>wonder

Wander. Don't bother, there's nothing really there. I've been there twice and it's way too tourist-y. Go there to shop for relatively new merchandise and cheap electronics. If you want the niche stuff, Ikebukuro or Nakano Broadway has more stuff.

Did homework.
Then dropped by "Nue" shrine.
Supposedly there used to be a pond here where a Nue fell into after some nobleman shot it out of the sky.
No touhou-related ema's though.

Hey! is not Sega owned and the Sega sign is about 2 buildings down on Sega World - an entirely different arcade. Hey! is the one that, suprisingly, says "Hey!" the entrance is bright orange and, outside of some games running on TV's in the wall, all you'll see is an escalator.

And Street Fighter 4 isn't that popular in Japan because they have taste.
