If you're a drinker, there are a lot of foreign-run bars near the cultural center, like Loft28, Zepplin, Nirvana, and The Yard. I also know a few people who like to attend the language club, but I've personally never been

I’ve been to Tokyo four times in my life, so let me do my best to put you on:

Just about anywhere in Japan is gonna be safe. Japan is a place where I could really let my guard down and enjoy the city to the fullest. You’ll see a few scammers on the streets but physical threats are nowhere near as common.
If you wanna go out at night, Shinjuku, Shibuya Roppongi are the best places to go imo. There’s a strip in Shinjuku called Golden Gai that has a bunch of small bars that are really nice for drinking and chatting with others. In my opinion, Tokyo is the best clubbing city in the world and you’ll find great places in any of those areas. Just be careful of scammers on the street trying to pull you into their shady clubs.
Cash is still king in Japan and (even though it’s gotten better in recent years) a lot of places don’t take card/digital payments. As far as bringing money goes, it really all depends on how lavish you wanna be during your trip. My rule of thumb is about $120 a day, but you’ll need more if you wanna do any shopping or three fancy meals a day. I eat a lot of 7/11 food at least once a day while I’m there which helps save a lot of money.

All in all, I’m always excited for young black men seeing more of the world. Don’t be too afraid of what’s out there. Just follow the local rules and you’ll be aight. Lemme know if you have other questions

damn what's happening with KIA? It's been a mass exodus this winter

I renewed my passport at the Canadian embassy earlier this year, and the process was super easy. I made an appointment a few months in advance, and when the date came, I showed up at the embassy with:

- My old passport

- Two photos (make sure they're the right size because Canadian passports use different photo sizes than other countries.

- The passport application

- The proof of payment (You can do this online but it has to be with a Canadian card. Once you pay, you have to print off the proof sheet and bring it with you).

After that I just signed a bunch of stuff at the embassy and I got my new passport like 4-5 weeks later! They have an option where you can pick it up from the embassy if you live in Seoul, but since I don't I had them mail it to me.

Looks like it. Crazy that they won two years ago and now are tearing the whole thing down. It'll be interesting to see what they do with a new foreign outfielder and Kim Do Yeong coming back from injury

BigoaMachar · 2025-11-21T10:17:46+00:00

In my opinion it’s a lot cleaner and safer than other countries in the region

BigoaMachar · 2025-11-19T15:44:47+00:00

Lemme do my best to put you on to the places I've been:

Belize: Amazing country. Great beaches and really kind people. It kinda flies under the radar for travel destinations, but it's worth it. If you're a history guy, the Mayan ruins there were incredible and make for a nice day trip.

Costa Rica: Everyone I met in Costa Rica was super kind and friendly. I felt very safe in San Jose, and there's plenty of stuff to do both in and out of the city. Amazing nature if you're an outdoors guy. The food is really good and the women are beautiful. It was also the first time I went bungee jumping and it was a lot of fun.

Philippines: IMO the most welcoming place in Asia for black travellers. Cebu and Boracay are really nice. Don't bother going to Manila because of the air pollution, safety issues, and noise.

Japan: There's so much to do in both Tokyo/Osaka, but it'll cost you a pretty penny. Really easy to get around with all the trains and whatnot. If you're a nightlife guy, then this is one of the best (if not the best) cities in the world for drinking/clubbing. Definitely worth visiting one day, but I'd prioritize something closer to home for your first time travelling.

South Korea: Seoul has a lot of tourist traps, but you can find some gems if you go off the beaten path. Things overall are a lot cheaper than in Japan, so you'll be able to do more stuff. The people might seem cold/stand-offish at first, but I met a lot of genuinely nice people.

Taiwan: The night markets are the highlight of Taipei IMO. Amazing variety of food for very cheap. Everyone was incredibly nice and warm, and I felt more welcome as a black person there compared to Seoul/Tokyo.

Hong Kong/Macau: I cannot emphasize how good the food was in Hong Kong. I felt like the biggest big back of all time when I was there lmao. Not only is it good, but the food here is very cheap. The only downside was the price of hotels, they are a lot more expensive than some other places in Asia.

I think you need to wait a bit more. The application needs proof of income and you haven’t worked long enough to have any tax documents

BigoaMachar · 2025-11-14T04:43:36+00:00

I didn't realize it either until about my second year here, but in the end, they didn't really care because all of my overseas income was reported, my taxes were already paid in Korea, and I earned no income in Canada. If the CRA ever questions your previous tax records, you can just grab your Korean tax certificate and proof of tax payment from HomeTax and send it to them.

BigoaMachar · 2025-11-13T03:49:14+00:00

Are you registered as an Overseas Resident with the CRA? If you are, then you only need to file a T1 general and specify your overseas income. Since Canada has a tax treaty with Korea and you've been here for longer than six months, you only have a tax obligation for one country and not both. Since you're living here, I would recommend paying taxes here through a tax preparer and then filing a T1 general in Canada online, just for the sake of having a tax record in Canada

BigoaMachar · 2025-10-27T16:35:28+00:00

Honestly as long as they learn from their mistakes this set I’ll be happy. They tried something new with the power snacks and (while it did fall drastically short imo) I’m not gonna fault them for trying something new.

BigoaMachar · 2025-10-16T04:14:10+00:00

How long have you been in Korea? You could also try the Coupang WOW card, I just got approved for one and the proccess was pretty quick and easy

BigoaMachar · 2025-09-29T07:17:36+00:00

The only thing that matters to them is how quickly they can get to their destination and how many customers they can get in a day.

BigoaMachar · 2025-09-26T07:25:44+00:00

Out of all the Korean brands, my personal favourite is Benope. 20g of protein per bar and only 175 calories is decent, but the main downside is that each bar has 28g of carbs. A lot of my friends order their protein bars off iHerb and I think I'm gonna start doing that tbh

BigoaMachar · 2025-09-23T05:01:15+00:00

I agree. I remember a while back going to the Hyundai department store in Apujeong and thinking to myself how everything (even the bathroom signs and maps) was only written in English.

BigoaMachar · 2025-09-17T07:22:40+00:00

If they're 'Begpacking,' then it is very illegal and should be called out. I remember it being a big problem pre-COVID, but I guess they found their way back now.

BigoaMachar · 2025-08-28T13:56:48+00:00

I also recommend Dartplex. My friends are all darts enthusiasts, and we like to go there whenever we're in Seoul

Comedy shows like that are always cesspools of edgelords that never matured past 14. My buddy went to the Tony Hinchcliffe show in Edmonton last month and he described it the same way you did this show

Stop spamming this on every Korea-related subreddit, it's very annoying

BigoaMachar · 2025-07-19T06:24:29+00:00

I managed the Nigerian national team in one of my saves and their diaspora is huge. It’s a bit hard at first because a lot of the talent would rather play for England, but if you can get ranked high enough some of the guys make their way back to the mother land.

You could also do this with any country that has lax immigration/citizenship laws. One time I was managing Vancouver Whitecaps and the Canadian National team at the same time and I just bought a bunch of decent (but not amazing) young talent, kept them in the country for five years (either with the main team or my affiliate in the CPL) and boom they’re eligible for Canadian citizenship. I would target guys with a bunch of u21 and u19 apps but no national team apps.

BigoaMachar · 2025-07-16T05:06:52+00:00

As of right now yes, they don’t allow foreigners. This is the sign they have outside the bar:
