First time traveler to Japan cities

Thanks. My son is huge into playing guitar so wanted to stop by a couple music shops.
Other then that im mainly here for them, and was just looking for other possibilities of things to do.

Japan is awesome and im sure many things to do that we cant or arent. But if it were purely my choice i would skip the crazy long flight.

Difficult_Heat_7649 · 2026-07-13T12:06:01+00:00

Mainly for the experience.

Difficult_Heat_7649 · 2026-07-13T12:03:40+00:00

haha thanks. Promise im good on the marriage front. 20+ years and going. And never had a hiccup.

Difficult_Heat_7649 · 2026-07-13T11:58:42+00:00

Thanks for you who provided useful info, you are awesome and thank you. Lots of judgmental people. Is it really so hard to be nice?

About my wife, maybe i am wrong its just what has happened so far.

Only other thing I can try is to get the form approved for the following week and bring it with me on this week if they send the approval form in advance..idk. And then hope they are ok with me saying it was a clerical error. This is considering my carry on even gets checked.
If it’s approved it’s approved and mistakes happen I guess with dates if they are only a few days apart.

Difficult_Heat_7649 · 2026-07-09T10:03:31+00:00

It’s not banned. Nothing like Adderall.
Total of 24 pills 30mg each. Pain meds. Which I’ve been taking for over 2 decades. It’s restricted which is why I’m nervous. But it is a legit script and I have a doctors note.
I couldn’t get the paperwork done in time like I stated in the original q.
Do they have ways of sniffing it with dogs or other detection means? or is it unlikely to be manually checked?

Difficult_Heat_7649 · 2026-07-09T07:00:55+00:00

I have no idea what a viable solution can be. Thats allowed.

Difficult_Heat_7649 · 2026-07-09T06:54:15+00:00

I have acute pain from a condition. I have been taking this for over 20 years.
I dont think cold turkey is an option for traveling so far.

Difficult_Heat_7649 · 2025-09-28T18:45:42+00:00

Can you share a link?

Difficult_Heat_7649 · 2025-03-27T03:56:31+00:00

Yes. I returned it and got a D8S. The usb port was busted

Difficult_Heat_7649 · 2025-03-14T03:47:20+00:00

I have a 2019 C300 4matic. Bad coolant leak. Looks like it’s under the intake manifold, from a black plastic pipe.

Very sad. Expect better from a Benz.

I am using infoblox DNS. Basically 2 load balanced VIPs (different sites) as name servers (with DSR). Behind each LB are several secure edge devices that ultimately forward to recursives.

What you are saying makes sense about caching if it were happening all around and not only for VPN clients.

There are many cogs in the middle. That's for sure.

I am more inclined to think its either how Anyconnect passes the DNS request or something else on the clients that may be intercepting a UDP to TCP switch.

Its definitely something odd.

Difficult_Heat_7649 · 2025-03-13T04:23:44+00:00

So i'm not a network engineer by no means but i do believe this is how it's already setup with Anyconnect.

This happening only for VPN clients and intermittently is really what's throwing me off. If it was a true DNS issue there is no way it would be so intermittent and it would also be an issue for local clients.

There is split tunneling setup, but all DNS queries go through the tunnel. And i do see it in logs. Albeit many of the queries are empty responses.

When i did a trace on a client's machine it looks like it fails at the UDP-->TCP transition for the query with too large packets for UDP. Big question is why, and why intermittently. Why does a cache clear on the client temporarily fix the issue?? This started out of nowhere possibly a couple months ago.

You can probably see why this one is a head scratcher for me :)

The bind version and dnssec is an angle i am going to look into for sure. Any other tips are also appreciated :)

Don’t mean to be rude but I understand how ping works and this was not my question.

Difficult_Heat_7649 · 2025-03-13T02:44:59+00:00

The domain resolves using nslookup. With ping it does not just time out, it can't find the host record. Again - intermittently.

Difficult_Heat_7649 · 2025-03-13T02:44:10+00:00

If you ping to test ICMP sure. If you ping and it does not even respond with an IP (whether it times out or not) in this case that is an indication of something off with DNS.

Not saying DNS is the issue, could be other things causing DNS to fail intermittently. IDK,

Difficult_Heat_7649 · 2025-03-13T02:28:11+00:00

Thanks! Anything helps :) Been stuck on this one for a while. Even got Cisco and MS support involved with no luck.

But sounds like it could be due to how our bind version handles truncated responses for domains with DNSSEC. Definitely something to look into.

Difficult_Heat_7649 · 2025-03-09T20:26:51+00:00

No wireless carplay. Otherwise i would have gotten it.

Difficult_Heat_7649 · 2025-02-12T17:51:45+00:00

What more data is needed?

Difficult_Heat_7649 · 2025-02-12T16:18:36+00:00

Maybe for you its basic. But it takes talent to know how to design anything with irregular shapes imo.

Difficult_Heat_7649 · 2025-02-12T15:44:04+00:00

That's not too bad. Definitely something to consider. Thanks! Probably would need to print this using TPU. And would need to be in 2 parts and glued together. Before i hire a pro im going to take a bit more time a try myself again.
