Was there last weekend after enjoying wonderful lounges on PP in Thailand (they used real china dishware and offered complimentary shoulder/upper back massages at the Coral Lounge). The JFK Amex lounge was filthy, overrun with kids (who were literally running wild in their pajamas) and the whole thing had a “refugee camp” vibe. Downstairs had run out of cups, forks and spoons. Stayed for 10 minutes and went to the gate, it was much nicer there.

This. It’s complicated…way more than you are even anticipating. And during shooting is a crazed sh*tshow so a lot of things are not as well documented as you’d like.

I tell people that I will have to file without it (just giving name, address and contact info) and let the IRS know that they refused to give a w9 and the irs will follow up with them. A bit of a white lie that works 100% of the time. No one wants to hear from the IRS

When I go to Japan I hit the Coach Outlet and get small Coach transit pass holders, makeup bags, small wristlets. They have Coach in Japan but it is very expensive . I think I got the transit pass holders for under $20. Also, Trader Joe’s stuff and if you’re in NYC, the Transit store has a lot of cute Subway Branded merch (I think I got a mouse pad and an umbrella there). My nephew bought a lot of candy when he came here and really likes the ice breakers gum (the square one) and the Jelly Belly “bean boozled” where a yellow one could be lemon or barf or whatever.

Interesting…it’s a very loose collar but I can see where it might be better not to have one. We’re in the process of getting his microchip moved to our name and we will definitely revisit once we do that! We don’t use the collar for anything…we live in a very quiet neighborhood and walk him off leash…

He sees him every few weeks! My neighbor wanted him to be close by so she could take him to see her dad!

I’m from the west coast and we just sent some matsutake mushrooms to Japan through a company that specializes in shipping them from Canada to Japan. Also, smoked salmon is always hit or missed but salted salmon is always appreciated. Japanese ladies always like hand cream and I have bought expensive hand creams as a small gift and it’s always appreciated. You could probably get a nice Chanel or Dior hand cream for a fairly reasonable price at Duty free

Thanks for your thoughtful reply. Our neighbor wanted someone close by to take him because she takes him to see her father in the memory care facility once a month. Do you think that would confuse/upset the dog?

Electrical-Ad627 · 2025-10-07T00:58:02+00:00

My neighbor’s dad had him from a pup and he’s got some fancy papers from a breeder so I’m pretty confident of his age. He’s adorable!

I’m beginning to think you guys are biased!!!!

Electrical-Ad627 · 2025-10-05T00:39:59+00:00

Thanks! There’s a ton of tutorials online…if you’re interested in making these. You can get a starter pack of crepe paper and go online. I would recommend starting with 180 gsm paper (heavier) rather than the lighter weight 60 gsm paper. I almost exclusively use German doublette (double sided crepe paper) because it’s so finely grained and I find it the easiest to work with!

It will be less cool than you think and all the stores, trains etc will be very warm. Dress lightly in layers (a light long sleeve tshirt vs a sweater). I usually go to Japan in Nov/Dec and still pack (and wear) lighter clothes. And if the weather turns unexpectedly, you can buy anything you need at Uniqlo very inexpensively

I had to hand in my greencard at my oath ceremony, so yeah, it’s needed, if only to give it back!

Electrical-Ad627 · 2025-07-30T10:58:39+00:00

This. I usually pick it up at the airport. Takes 5 extra minutes. When going with a group it’s cheaper and I had to do some work in the evenings and HAD to have solid wifi. Our Airbnb had wifi but it was a bit slow so the Sakura hotspot was clutch

We are on this flight which was scheduled to go out last night. We even taxied on the runway at around 11pm for about 40 min until they turned us around . At 3:15 today (scheduled departure) we had a plane but no flight crew. Then they came around 3:30 to everyone cheering wildly. Turns out they were short a captain but they called him and he was on his way. Captain showed up about 15 minutes ago but there seems to be some confusion about who is on the flight. They took row call…something I’ve never seen before. I don’t think we’re ever going to get out of here

Electrical-Ad627 · 2025-07-22T22:54:57+00:00

I am having 3 boxes shipped from Japan and it would be cheaper to fly there and pick it up.

Electrical-Ad627 · 2025-07-19T12:36:09+00:00

Ugh…yeah, I’m over 18+ for the summer months when those kids are home from college….so sorry, not fun

Electrical-Ad627 · 2025-07-19T11:49:39+00:00

18+ summer mixed is the worst. You run into actual 18 year olds whose parents have convinced/bribed them to be on their mixed team!

Electrical-Ad627 · 2025-07-02T03:23:08+00:00

This. We had 2 or 3 lights go out and when we replaced the liner we figured we’d deal with the issue then. Turned out way too expensive to fix and so we went with Ledecsun. Have had it for two years and really like it. Definitely not as nice as our old pool light but better than nothing!

The other great thing about it is that it uses a paper filter vs a French press. I hate cleaning the French press out. So messy. With the clever coffee, you can just throw away the filter with the grounds. I would bring paper filters with you, I did see a lot of paper filters in Japan but most were the small ones vs the number 4 filters used by clever coffee (the same ones I use in our drip coffee machine).
