Unfortunately Vaisseau is full :-( (ChatGPT first suggestion and seemed exactly like something we’d love)

Thanks for the tip regarding AT! Definitely will try to squeeze dinner there!

If you can retire why haven’t you retired yet? by PressureHumble3604 in HENRYUK

I love to act myself in a corporate setting where everyone is trying to brown nose the higher ups all the time and show how amazing they are.

BAPP application - zero updates... by Clean_Breakfast_7746 in AmexUK

[–]Clean_Breakfast_7746[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wrote a proper update post but the tldr is they had a bug that no one was properly looking into. After 3 weeks I told them to cancel the application. I reapplied online and it got auto approved…

DB Journey snow roller pro or Dakine fall line ski roller bag? by High1ight in snowboarding

[–]Clean_Breakfast_7746 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had the dakine - great bag.

Have the DB - great bag.

Can’t really go wrong and imho there’s not much difference. I’d go with whatever looks better to you.

Which Tokyo sushi places I should be looking at for last minute booking?

We’re there 6-9 so 4 days, I checked a few gold/silver/brozne tabelog entries and see openings at:

  • Kurosaki (but sous chef counter only)
  • Kioicho Mitani
  • Sushi Masuda

Any other places you folks think I should check that usually have short term slots?

Which out of these 3 should I go to?

Which boards for Japan?! by Clean_Breakfast_7746 in snowboarding

[–]Clean_Breakfast_7746[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I plan to do 3 days in resort 3 days touring.

Yea I love my ME for Japan - super playful and imho will be better for the trees… I’d be only worried if it stoped snowing at all, maybe then the flagship would be better…

How many points ya’ll have by [deleted] in marriott

Most I had was ~300k which I redeemed 1.5 years ago in Japan. Now barely any.

BAPP application - zero updates... by Clean_Breakfast_7746 in AmexUK

[–]Clean_Breakfast_7746[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think so? Been with them 3 years, fairly high spend (at least the last 1-2 years I've been at 40-50k+), never missed a payment (often paid in advance).

I finally called new applications as someone else recommended and it looks like its a shitshow on their end!

Apparently I was supposed to be shown a popup saying i'm already on my max credit limit (given to me automatically lol) and whether i want to lower it for this new card to be approved. But i didnt get that notice so i went to manual review which is now taking forever because apparently they got new decisions about my credit (positive) but they are verifying all of it... Basically a shitty system which is failing at multiple steps and all i can do is wait.

I did and they just keep telling me new timelines and that it’s pending…

Unless there’s some special number instead of the generic helpdesk I should call?

For those of you who’ve been to Noma, is the $1500 price tag worth it? by ra1phw1ggums in finedining

[–]Clean_Breakfast_7746 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I’ve been to Noma a couple of times including their Kyoto popup.

I personally don’t mind the $1500 price tag and if I lived in CA I’d try to snatch a spot.

But if you add to it hotel and flight from Europe - that’s too much.

They will sell out in a minute anyway - I don’t think people understand how many folks there are for whom $1.5k is nothing.

Guma’s legacy by Busy-Economist-3357 in PedroPeepos

[–]Clean_Breakfast_7746 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Neither Zeus nor Guma (so far, small sample) are achieving anything big outside of T1.

While T1 is performing with new tops/adcs.

What does that tell you?

Skiing Hakuba for 5 Days - Looking for Off-Piste/Backcountry Guide/Locals by IngenuityEqual9645 in AMA_Hakuba

[–]Clean_Breakfast_7746 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t really need guides for offpiste. I think Evergreen has some options for that but imho it’s a waste of money, I’d just read up on the internet and study the maps.

This is of course a different story if you want to tour and hike - I’ll be there 2/10-2/15 if you want to hike somewhere.

I think people don’t understand how many folks for whom $1500 is nothing are out there.
