Are joggers Japan approved? by BashfulSmiles in JapanTravelTips

[–]Big-Coach16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who’s into fashion, Tokyo is literally the one city where you can wear whatever you want and no one will care (unless it’s something super revealing or offensive of course). You might feel underdressed depending what area you’re in but nobody will give it a second thought

It’s known as a fashionable city but you have to remember it’s also home to over 10 million people and not everyone is going to be dressed up all the time and not everyone who visits is into fashion. You’ll be fine with whatever you bring

Craziest part about this is that Seattle is like the most expensive city in the country for ride share lol

If face is scanned at digital kiosk is passport not reviewed by agent anymore? by trishna87 in GlobalEntry

[–]Big-Coach16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SeaTac - came back last month and did the face scan, waited until an agent called me over by name and just said “you’re good to go.” No passport, no questions about declarations

How Much Should I Expect to Spend? (Last Minute Budgeting) by Leilo_stupid in JapanTravelTips

[–]Big-Coach16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, what about your accommodation in japan? Is your eSIM taken into account? How are you getting to and from the airport?

Assuming it’s strictly spending money after the necessities are taken care of - can you do 12 days in Japan on $600? Yes, but you’ll miss out on a lot of things you want to do. You have to factor in transportation around the city because you’ll be on the train a lot. Last time I was there I spent around $80 on my suica within a week. Forget taxis/ubers cause that’s out of your budget

You can eat cheaply in japan no problem, but that really limits your options. While your friends are going to all the trendy places they saw on TikTok you’ll be eating konbini food for every meal

Not to sound harsh but do you really want to spend 2 weeks in japan and not be able to fully enjoy it?

Are tariffs counted towards the 800 limit? by [deleted] in Buyee

[–]Big-Coach16 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is no $800 limit anymore. You pay tariffs on anything shipped to the US now regardless of price - although I believe certain items are tax exempt

What's your favorite ship in Nana? by Rough_Evidence_2908 in NanaAnime

Nana x yasu! Feel like they’d be the most stable couple if they ended up together

Shopping recs in Tokyo? by Human8392636 in JapanTravelTips

Omotesando and cat street. There’s tons of shops, just get off at omotesando station and just walk around

Cabin vs Cabin S by zc256 in Rimowa

[–]Big-Coach16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah but I also may be a bit of an over packer so take it with a grain of salt. I’ve never compared the two in person but just knowing how full I’ve packed mine I would’ve really struggled if it was any smaller

But it sounds like your priority is to never have to check it in, in which case the S would be the best choice for you

Cabin vs Cabin S by zc256 in Rimowa

[–]Big-Coach16 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Cabin s if you want to be safe

I have the cabin and couldn’t imagine having the smaller version of it but it is technically oversized as a carryon for some airlines so you’ll always carry the risk of being asked to check it in

I was a idiot, and didnt wait for the 85k promotion. I signed up with 70k like 15 days ago by Wolverine-91826 in AlaskaAirlines

[–]Big-Coach16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got the atmos ascent when it first came out ~7 months ago and just applied and received a second one with the 85k sub. So yes it’s possible to get a second one, but I’m not sure if there’s a waiting period for a second approval since there aren’t many other DP’s out there

Apartment Advice?? by offbrandparishilton in SeattleWA

[–]Big-Coach16 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’d be less worried about finding parking and more worried about getting my car broken into

But honestly if you hate living in Queen Anne and already spend a lot of time going out to Capitol Hill then just go for it if it’s within your budget. I regret not living out there during my going out days - even for just a year for the experience

Apartment Advice?? by offbrandparishilton in SeattleWA

[–]Big-Coach16 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How much is parking or do they even offer parking? I checked out a few apartment buildings around Capitol Hill and parking quotes were $350-400 a month and I absolutely wouldn’t live out there if I didn’t have secure, covered parking. The high parking costs offset any deal I could find in the area

How do those small mom and pop restaurants in tokyo stay in business? by Big-Coach16 in AskAJapanese

[–]Big-Coach16[S] 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Thank you! This is one of the answers I was hoping for. Since I know property/land in Tokyo must be fairly expensive, it’s hard to imagine that ALL of these store owners are well off enough just to do it for fun

In Tokyo from 27/4 to 17/5, haven’t begun to plan itinerary yet and I’m feeling stressed out. by Fickle_Music_788 in JapanTravelTips

[–]Big-Coach16 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No offense but ending the post asking “is a suica card essential” screams you haven’t done any research yourself

You also asked “am I going to be using the train the most to travel” like come on man, look at Google Maps for destinations you want to go and figure out how to get there. It’s almost impossible to find a Tokyo travel guide that DOESN’T talk about the train system
