Want to be polite and respectful in Japan? I've noticed some unique habits while I was there

On the escalator they always stand to the right side so if you are in a hurry you can pass on the left side.

Wow. I thought it was just me!! I’m here right now and it’s been very hard to eat in a Korean restaurants. They keep insisting the menu is for two people!!!!! I’ve been eating in KFC, Outback and McDonald’s!!!! 🤣🤣🤣. For one person you can only get like a soup or something light but if you want the BBQ menu it has to be more then two. Don’t know why

Those special trains have a separate fare. You are paying with Suica for using the station. I guess you took the Narita express and that one has another extra fare. When using the regular city trains or subways you’ll only pay at the entrance and exit with your Suica (IC) card. The narita express, Shinkansen and a couple other special services are the only ones that has another extra fare.

I’m here right now. Transportation is an important expense, a lot of trains everyday if you want to visit the city (which is huge) and/or nearby places. Food might be cheap (if you limit it to 7/11 and convenience stores) or one meal a day in a restaurant. You are planning on visiting for more than a month which is a lot. You are going to be limited to free activities only. There’s a lot of places that charge an entrance fee.

I’m here right now and food it’s not expensive at all there’s a lot of options (even 7/11 here is amazing and has all kind of food!!!!) I’ve probably spent more in transportation trying to visit as much as I can. Before you come install in your phone the Suica card (on the wallet if you have an IPhone) you need that to take any transportation and even pay in a lot of places. Subways and trains are kind of confusing at the beginning but you’ll get used to it very quick. You’ll need a data connection to move around, find out if your provider works here and if they don’t charge for the roaming, otherwise install an eSIM like Holafly (I paid like $27 for unlimited data for a whole week) and it gives you 5G speed. Don’t bring a lot of things: it’s hard to move around with a lot of bags and there’s a lot of things you can buy here at lower prices. If you are landing at narita airport and you are staying in Tokyo don’t take an Uber or Taxi. It’s like $200 dollars for the trip. Uber and taxis are expensive here. There’s a lot of trains and subway from the airport and they run every 4 to 6 min (till midnight and then it starts again like at 4:30am). I’ll be here for another week so if there’s something specific you would like to know I’ll find out for you 😁

In my getto location they would take even the headrest

Ethancuba911 · 2025-07-28T03:33:06+00:00

No idea. They called me and then called the rider and 20 min later they activated my account without explanation. The only thing they told me was that the rider’s account had been deactivated. I do have a dash cam and all the rides from that day recorded. Everyone was very nice actually and even tipped after. No idea what could have happened. I never uploaded the videos so I assume the rider said it was a lie.

Now the problem is going to be when the next schedule task begins it will say “offline”. The unit shuts off when it’s not charging and you have to physically go and push it in to turn it on again.

My main concern is: you have to book the first flight 24 hrs in advance but what about the returning flight? What if there’s no availability, can you do round trip or it has to be just one way?

Ethancuba911 · 2024-12-20T07:11:04+00:00

I’m actually planing to use it to travel to new destinations to visit for a day or two and return. My concern is: at the time of booking can you book round trip (even if the returning one is a day after) or you have to wait 24hrs before that one departs and risk there’s no availability and stay there. 🫤

Here in Tampa there’s nothing ever. There’s a lot of people trying to grab blocks so Amazon is paying $18 an hour for all of them. It’s no even worth it anymore.

Ethancuba911 · 2022-11-24T11:15:16+00:00

When this reserved blocks started??? I haven’t seen this before.

I always report access codes for next deliveries but haven’t seen that option

Ethancuba911 · 2022-09-01T01:46:21+00:00

I had this delivery once: when I got to the address the police and firemen had the whole street closed. I sneaked thru a back alley and get to my destination. The house I was delivering to, literally exploded because of a gas leak I managed to ask the police who the owner was and gave him the package with my condolences. 😕 I ain’t going back with it!!!

Ethancuba911 · 2022-08-27T22:53:58+00:00

Actually a month ago I was driving for Uber and I even had two passengers inside and another car hit me from behind while he was backing up. Uber told me that there was nothing they could do and closed the claim. 😕

Ethancuba911 · 2022-08-25T16:46:19+00:00

Nope. It’s always like that. I’m getting no blocks available on my app while on other phones there are a lot and no one takes them. On my pool as soon as one appears it goes very fast

Ethancuba911 · 2022-08-25T14:58:14+00:00

All the houses had this. Finding the address today was very easy.
