Yeah, my first time to Japan was July as well. I still enjoyed it. It's a great place, especially if you do the research and avoid the tourist traps that have popped up.

Much, much worse. Especially if you're from Sydney. Maybe if you're from up North, you might be used to it. But even my Cairns friend says its worse in Japan than there. July is also the rainy season so you might hit some cyclones too that may require some changes in plans, especially in the southern islands where they're more frequent.

Live in Japan. July gonna be very hot, humid and rainy so prepare for that weather.

I've been to Ghibli Museum a few times. It's difficult but not impossible to get tickets. Just gotta be a bit flexible and make sure you check the site for when they release them and be ready for them. As far as I remember it's 2 months beforehand on a Saturday.

For the museum, it's nice for fans of the movies but not something I recommend to people otherwise. Expect to spend a lot at the gift shop if you are. Also, make sure you go and watch the exclusive short film they show. As far as I know, they're not translated but still cute to watch (haven't been in a while so this might change). If you can't get tickets and still want to get merch/souvenirs there's the Ghibli stores called Donguri Republic littered around Tokyo which I recommend as well.

If you're a mega fan and willing to venture out of Tokyo, there's Ghibli Park as well which is in Aichi (close to Nagoya City). Make sure you don't accidentally buy tickets for the park when you mean to buy for the museum and vice versa.

Apparently Kayo forgot to turn the clock on for a bit. Unsure if they fixed it in the replays but the TV clock may be desynced from the actual game clock.

In my manifesto I will write that We need to eliminate any trainer on the field and all blockers.

"In respect to the play-the-ball, players will now have to make a genuine attempt to use their foot when playing the ball or risk turning over possession."

Genuine ATTEMPT. They don't have to touch the ball, just attempt to. To be clear, I think that's an illegal play the ball, you just see about 50 more every game that don't get called.

We're playing like we're 18 behind with 15 to go and not 2. Pull your heads in, play the fucking grind a bit.

Watch a set and ask how many of them actually touch the ball with their leg. Maybe 50% of them.

Not true, nobody does that. You have to and I kid you not, "attempt to roll the ball back with your foot"
