ITT we post pics of our favorite authors severed heads! Oh...wait...your favorite author died in a hospital alone and sick? Haha, well, nevermind then.

TRUE...

I WILL READ THE PAVILION ONE, STARTING TOMORROW OR THE DAY AFTER (IT'S 10:42PM HERE)

ONLY BECAUSE I'VE BEEN TO THE TEMPLE IN QUESTION, AND WILL VISIT THERE AGAIN!

>>1185176
Pavillion might not be the best place for you to start, especially since I think you prefer shorter works? And it's a little bit long. But, I guess if you've been to the temple, that would make it a bit more interesting!

YOU'RE NOT EVEN ALLOWED INSIDE THE TEMPLE.

I WAS SO CLOSE TO RAGING THAT DAY. THE NIGHT BEFORE I HAD ALL YOU CAN DRINK COCKTAILS FOR 1500 YEN (AROUND $15), AND THE NEXT DAY MY STOMACH FELT LIKE A SWAMP SUDDENLY DISTURBED BY SOME CROCODILE OR SOMETHING.

AT THE TOILETS NEARBY THIS SHRINE, THEY ONLY HAD THE TRADITIONAL SQUATTING ONES. AND I NEEDED TO FUCKING GO! I WAS LIKE: "NO FUCKING WAY MAN, NOT WITH MY STOMACH LIKE THIS"

BUT MY FRIEND WAS LIKE: "CHILL CAPSGUY, WE'LL SORT THIS OUT" BUT NOT REALLY, BECAUSE SHE'S JAPANESE AND DOESN'T TALK LIKE THAT IN THE SLIGHTEST.

BUT THE DISABLED TOILETS, WERE NORMAL ONES!

THE ONLY JAPANESE LITERATURE I'VE READ IS BOTCHAN, AND BEAUTY AND SADNESS. IT'S QUITE HARD TO FIND COPIES ON THE INTERNET, LET ALONE IN MY COUNTRY, AUSTRALIA.

THE LIBRARY DOES HAVE A COPY OF THE TEMPLE ONE READY THOUGH, SO SHOULD I JUST GET IT IF IT'S STILL THERE TOMORROW?

>> No.1185192

>>1185186
Hahah, those squatting toilets. One day I want to use one, if just for the experience.

For some reason, I'd think Australia would have a good amount of Japanese literature available. I guess because they're sort of near each other. And I'd get it! Have you researched what other Japanese lit they have in your library?

I REALLY WANT "NO LONGER HUMAN", BUT I'M TRYING TO SAVE UP BEFORE I GO TO JAPAN.

AT THE MOMENT, IT LOOKS LIKE I'LL BE ABLE TO SPEND 10000-11000 YEN PER DAY (AFTER ALL EXPENSES), FOR ABOUT 90 DAYS. SO, I'LL HAVE NEARLY $10 000 TO SPEND ON COMPLETE SHIT DURING MY STAY THERE. PROBABLY WON'T SPEND IT ALL.

My favorite author died unexpectedly in his home

Hmm, I have The Setting Sun by Dazai, but I haven't gotten around to reading it yet. And man, I'm pretty sure I could spend all $10,000 on books. would be so amazing.

>> No.1185204

I'M HOPING THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE IT IN ENGLISH OVER IN JAPAN. PROBLEM IS, I'M GOING FOR 3 MONTHS, IN WINTER, AND I'VE NEVER HAD A REAL WINTER IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.

SO, THERE'S RESTRICTIONS IN TERMS OF LUGGAGE :(

CAPSGUY,

there are some good foreign bookstores in Japan. They will most likely have the good Japanese books.

But seriously, 10,000yen per day? How rich are you? God damn. I'm barely making it by on 1000yen a day over here. Its tuff being a poor, foreign student in Tokyo.

IN AUSTRALIA, THEY DISTRIBUTE PASSPORTS IN THESE LITTLE POUCH THINGS. IT HAS SLEEVES IN IT, AND I THOUGHT TO MYSELF: "THIS LOOKS LIKE A GREAT IDEA TO PUT MY MONEY IN!" AND PROCEEDED TO PUT ABOUT 300000 YEN IN IT.

AT IMMIGRATION, I TOOK OUT MY PASSPORT SLEEVE, WROTE THE FORM OUT. AND THEN LEFT MY PASSPORT AND ALL MY LIQUID CASH ON THE DESK.

HERE I AM, WAITING IN LINE, AND SOMEONE YELLS OUT "CAPSGUY, CAPSGUY" (OF COURSE I WON'T USE MY REAL NAME FOR SOMETHING EMBARRASSING LIKE THIS), AND IT WAS THE KIND PREGNANT LADY WHO HAS A JAPANESE HUSBAND WHO I SPOKE TO ON THE PLANE!

(I TRAVELED ALONE, SO FOR SOMEONE TO KNOW MY NAME WAS AMAZING)

SHE WAS HOLDING MY PASSPORT UP, AND EVERYONE LOOKED AT ME AS I TOOK IT. OH MY GOSH!
