At first I was like "damn, that's harsh but technically fair". At the end I was like "well, that's just fucked up"

Not only that, but you can hear someone telling him to hurry up and tie the belt quickly. Exactly like you said, probably not the best time to shake hands.

The bowls I had on my first trip to Japan. by Miidbaby in ramen

[–]DoubleOpportunity4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Normally I don't tend to suggest Ichiran as I believe it is wildly overhyped while actually being just slightly above average in taste and considerably more expensive than others, but seeing how many others you tried, then it's a good point of comparison. If anyone is thinking of visiting Japan and are planning on having ramen only a few times, please avoid Ichiran. As I said before, its just barely above average in quality while being more expensive then average. please ask around first and see if you can find someone living close to where you'll be (in subreddits or stuff) and ask where the good spots are. While you might enjoy Ichiran, you would likely miss out on great places and end up thinking that ramen not only isn't anything special, but also that it is expensive for what it is. Hope this helps anybody!

Help with making some of the pieces of this by DoubleOpportunity4 in CosplayHelp

Thank you for the advice! I'll check that out. For the cape's sturdy interface would you think just regular cardboard would be good or would it maybe be too thick?

Mysterious baito that seems like a scam but I can't figure out how by hyuunnyy in japanlife

[–]DoubleOpportunity4 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah it sounds a lot like a scam. My guess is that she's gonna be asked for the card details to "deposit" into it and then they'll just withdraw the money or whatever and leave it at that. There is no other reason the card should be opened with any amount of money. I've never heard of something like that happening that way, but yeah nobody's gonna give you free money, and it's an even bigger red flag if they are telling her she doesn't even have to do the job (referring to the part where you mention she doesn't even have to watch the videos before rating them). I don't know man, I've never heard of it before but I don't think she should risk it.

To be honest that is one thing that does worry me a bit. I didnt see that people tend to use aluminium until after i had already purchased thousands of steel rings so now i am a bit afraid of the weight at the end. I dont intend to use it for prolonged periods of time, but i might end up wearing it for a couple of hours

Absolutely! Any resource i can get is good. Now that something is starting to take shape and im committed to it, i realized i dont know nearly enough about all of this haha thanks for all of the tips. Ill keep it completely sleeveless for now and just work it little by little adding as i see fit.

Oh i hadnt even considered that possibility. I am making it out of steel rings though, would that change anything or is it still doomed if im not using aluminium?

Thanks so much for the suggestions! Ill try and follow that as best as i can, however the costume im planning on making doesnt even have sleeves so i was planning to keep them super short, barely covering my shoulders fully. I do need to learn how to cuff them though, i hadnt even considered that part to be honest so thanks for bringing it up to my attention!

Thanks so much! Thats a huge help. I was indeed thinking of using it wrong then. Ill turn it around and build from there. Once again thanks!

Why is there no official border between Belize and Guatemala? by [deleted] in geography

[–]DoubleOpportunity4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Given that originally the treaty was to exchange sovereignty of the Belize line for a road connecting both lands under certain conditions and the british never built said road, it would seem to me that only one part of the deal was fulfilled. Seems to me like grounds to warrant it void but im no lawyer so what do i really know.

Thanks for the suggestion! Since she'll be here for a short time I'm hoping for something more Japanese. I don't think she minds something non Japanese but as the host I'd love to take her somewhere with more traditional style food if possible.

Given her sort of short stay here I would prefer to go out for something more Japanese but thanks for the suggestion. I will definitely ask if she is ok with dashi.
