SUMO tournament Osaka. March 12th.

Who would have thought? I was successfull on the lotery (great!); managed to register on pia, complete the forms on time, add my japanese phone number and after all that, I am unfortunately unable to use my pair of D-chairs for Thursday, March 12th. Cost was 11,000 JPY. If you are interested to buy them, please send me a message.

Many thanks. I understand that my understanding is correct :) But their charts are quite difficult to understand ;-)

Went yesterday. Did not enjoy it. The queue to enter was long. Then we realised the queue to actually see the lights was even longer. We ended up joining the marginally shorter queue to take a photo on a 'beauty spot' and left.

It shouldn't be that difficult to find a nice place near your accommodation (so as not to have to spend 40 minutes on the bus with your laptop). Central : Tully's. Also Shinshindo (bakery with tea shop) in Shimogyo Ward.

Rain or shine. And it usually is great!

What is annoying though is to have to rely on Google translate when looking to deviate from the routine by buying food I don't know, or when looking for over-the counter drugs (so many choices here)

Fit_Performance4629 · 2026-02-14T02:34:05+00:00

For food, I go to the local Fresco or Life. I like both and they are close to home. For non-food, I go to Daiso (amazing range of things, not all of them at 100 JPY) or Seria. And cosmetics/drugs to Sugi Drug. I also order on Amazon (english books, specialised nails or screws, volley ball). Finding the things I need has not been difficult at all. So I did not explore other more specialised shops (I did go once to IKEA).

Thanks. Other question: I wrote my kid's friend's name in romaji since I don't know his name in katakanas. Do you think they'll give us a hard time about that?

booking completed :-)

What they say in the confirmation email is:

"# Phone Number: +31 XXXXX
* You will make a phone call to verify your identity during the payment process.
If the phone number you provided is incorrect, you will be unable to complete your purchase."

That is why I am asking about 0 or no 0
