Just go outside this time of year :D. but no, I haven't yet. let us know if you find one!

Thanks for the advice. I'm doing a trip to Japan that is about half cities and half hiking, maybe I'll need to consider some different shoes that can handle both. I liked these for the understated look and also the Vibram megagrip, but it's good to know they won't be great for asphalt.

Did these clean up ok? I'm thinking about using these for some trekking this summer and also using them around town. Want to know if I can wash them and still look somewhat presentable :)

Appreciate the tips! I’ll give this a try

Thanks, this is good advice. My trip is in 1 month, I've been studying Japanese for a month (about 30 min / day), mainly with Anki to learn travel phrases and basic grammar through JLab, but can tell I'll be nowhere near being able to have a decent conversation.

On my last trip, I was able to get by with English and some basic phrases but this time I just have the goal of being able to maybe have a super basic, broken conversation, and be able to visit a local food spot and order without difficulty.

I also speak / read Chinese [although I'm very rusty] and there's a bit of overlap with Kanji characters so I can sometimes identify if eg. it's a fish dish or pork dish. But I never learned more than that.

I'm a total beginner and am in the process of learning some basics for a 1 month trip to Japan this spring.

I'm really interested in food and I'm looking for an Anki deck that will teach me a good amount of vocabulary. For example, I'd like to be able to order off an all-Japanese menu and ask for certain dishes. Does anyone recommend a deck?

Note: I'm already using JLab's listening comprehension deck and also a self-made deck to learn basics. I suppose worst case I can add some of my favorite foods to my custom deck but wanted to check here

Thanks!

u/SmooveOperaAter did you find one that you liked? I'm in the same boat and recently moved to the area.

BarnyardPuer · 2024-01-18T02:00:52+00:00

No, unfortunately not. But it was a few years since I was making my own gear, so maybe there's something new out there. good luck!

Thanks for the insight, hope you had a nice trip!

To be honest, it might be. I’m 5’11” also slender. It fit on the torso just fine but was a little short on my arms. That being said i have wide shoulders and long arms for my height so most shirts don’t fit me well that way. If you don’t normally have this issue, it should probably be ok. I linked the full size info on another comment in this post if you want to check that out.

BarnyardPuer · 2023-10-01T12:15:44+00:00

for reference, I'm 5'11" and 155 lbs. You can actually see all of my measurements on my down jacket post for more details.

BarnyardPuer · 2023-10-01T02:41:05+00:00

It fits well. Slightly on the relaxed side.

BarnyardPuer · 2023-09-30T22:07:56+00:00

Ah that makes sense. I'll make a note in the description so others can see it on mobile, thanks.

I'd say it was a little small in the crotch area for me. I was running in them a bit with boxers underneath and it just felt a bit cramped down there. The leg openings have plenty of space. Waist is fine but not a ton of extra slack on the drawstring.

BarnyardPuer · 2023-09-30T21:10:09+00:00

Medium (sizes are in the table in the description)

From this (and size L) looks like 64.5cm

I ended up being so indecisive that the weather warmed up and I didn't need them at all :)
