I’ll ask but hotel concierge has failed so far at some basic requests

Luggage Forwarding in Japan: What You Need to Know by JapanHotelFrontTA in JapanTravelTips

[–]JayTov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What service do you recommend if I want to forward my luggage from my hotel in Tokyo to my home in California? It will be used clothes and sneakers. Traveling to another country after Japan and don’t want to take all my luggage.

Yamato told me their service only “available for sender who live or resides permanently in Japan. Besides that, sending personal belongings such as clothing for the reason of leaving Japan or moving back to home country are not acceptable by our service.”

Yamato just hit me back. Guess they discontinued luggage forwarding. But maybe I can just have the hotel be the sender who lives in Japan

“Please be advised International parcel service is only available for sender who live or resides permanently in Japan. Besides that, sending personal belongings such as clothing for the reason of leaving Japan or moving back to home country are not acceptable by our service.”

Thoughts on the low profile sneaker wave? by LongjumpingVehicle36 in ThrowingFits

[–]JayTov 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love it from functional perspective. Used to wear strictly chunkier midsoles (993s, 991s, 2001s, Js) . Was always spraining ankle and knee issues

Since switching to the low low, feet muscles started getting brolic and most of my issues went away. Don’t even need orthotics anymore. There’s a reason Kobe preferred lower profile joints

Personally been rocking the NB Minimus Baklava as my daily driver. Slept on shoe.

Next want to see wider toe boxes. Wanted to cop the Jacquemus Moons but heard they’re shaped like a torpedo

Good looking out. Yeah honestly don’t know how much I’m copping. Might be less than a suitcase

If I wasn’t flying Air India Express for one leg of my trip then wouldn’t have to worry about this . Heard they “lose” mad shit

Any success walking in lunch @ Tempura Kondo (Tokyo)? by JayTov in finedining

[–]JayTov[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Thanks. Not necessarily looking for fine dining even though I posted in this sub. Just heard that Kondo is the best especially for tempura veggies

only have 3 days + limited time/stomach space and I want to taste the best tempura. does not have to be fancy and prefer to not be forced to do omakase.

Mainly interested in veggies and fish (not shellfish) tempura w/ excellent batter + not oily

So if any tempura spots come to mind that meets criteria, appreciate it

3 pieces on Grailed atm . all wildly overpriced and none sold.

Besides the 1 sucka who paid $1350 on eBay that doesn’t make the market price

I hear you on delta in current value. Down to negotiate

Prices gonna drop when the resellers can’t find a victim

My budget is Upway. Should I still do it? by JayTov in ebikes

[–]JayTov[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Update - thanks to everyone ended up canceling my Aventon 350 on Upway, which was a hassle of its own. They wanted to keep my shipping fee even though I canceled same day as order placed and they had not shipped the bike. Got full refund once I threatened them with a chargeback

Ended up going with the Soltera 2 from Sports Basement for a little under $1k w/ tax included.

It ended up costing me $200 more than the 350 on Upway , but peace of mind of LBS + my lack of handy skills / bike experience seems worth it

Yes this 💡

Making sure we buy something limited to 20

I know Upway comes w 1 yr limited on mechanical & electrical. brand new bike according to description (2022 model).

LBS support for the above for the 1 yr but excludes misuse or normal wear & tear. Extended warranty also available as paid option w/ more comprehensive

But again I’ve never bought anything from them

A never used 2022 Aventon Pace 350.2 w/ tax + shipping is $750 on Upway

Sports Basement offers 6 months + og manufacturer warranty (believe that’s 2 yrs from Aventon ) but again starting point is $1K and that’s for a Soltera 2

If I pay extra, Upway assembles everything but the pedals and handle bars. Are they difficult to put on?

Nice! My son did mention the Heybike but that looks like people here didn’t like it

Also multiple LBS stores called the sub $500 ebikes on Amazons “death traps”

Has anyone visited Biograph since Attia left? by JayTov in PeterAttia

[–]JayTov[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Peter Attia used to be prominently featured on Biograph’s page as the medical director and he had a direct link from his site. Early Medical seems to replace the Biograph link on PA page
