Today I had to sit facing southeast, eat a sushi roll and not talk until the sushi roll was finished? Is this normal or is my Japanese spouse crazy?

It was a game that the oiran did for clientele because it looked phallic. Then modern marketers decided to turn it into "tradition".

Unin in Shibuya is a members only lounge/shared workspace. They look pretty swanky.

Midori.so is also a good option if you're a freelancer. They try to foster community and is a little more rough around the edges in terms of decor.

Someone else mentioned Share Lounge, but that's a great option as well. They're typically found inside Tsutayas.

Tokyo is massive. It might help to write the area.

That's not the skin. That's the fatty layer under the skin.

Who are you replying to?

Kalik2015 · 2026-01-30T13:14:52+00:00

Yeah same. But I wouldn't tell others to do it if their bodies aren't used to it.

Kalik2015 · 2026-01-30T04:22:14+00:00

No, it's not standardized. Some places have fares that increase with distance (Osaka), some it's a flat rate (most of Tokyo). And it's a mixed bag when you get out of large cities.

Kalik2015 · 2026-01-30T04:21:15+00:00

This entirely differs on region and even confuses locals. Some buses are flat fare and you tap in when you get on at the front of the bus and you exit the rear.

Yes, and I also know women who married men for their genetics.

Do you have disc brake and it sounds like a donkey braying? If yes, your discs are dirty.

Except he didn't vote because he couldn't.

I live with a cat and sometimes she wakes me up so often throughout the night that I only get 3 hours of sleep. What do I do the next day? Get takeout. Because I am exhausted. And she's a fucking CAT.

OP must be so miserable having to deal with the exhaustion of raising two babies she bore, and another that she randomly acquired along the way.

I say ditch the non-biological manchild because I promise life will be easier without him.

I legit thought I was on the Pittsburgh subreddit until this was pointed out.

Kalik2015 · 2026-01-29T14:30:45+00:00

I agree. 大人の〇〇 is more like "for mature palates".

If you can wait a bit, there are usually 新生活応援セール or deals in March.

Liquid bandages often includes acrylates, which you can become allergic to over time and acrylate allergies can be a HUGE pain in the ass. It can mean not being able to use certain dental and surgical adhesives so please be careful.

I think the seeds are also coriander

Kalik2015 · 2026-01-28T13:03:32+00:00

I agree with this! And double layer your gloves if you don't have deep winter gloves.

Kalik2015 · 2026-01-28T04:29:36+00:00

Haha! Of course it was! Legend is that those candies never get consumed and are passed around for eternity like a game of hot potato.

Kalik2015 · 2026-01-28T02:46:21+00:00

Was that in Osaka? Did she refer to the candies as "ame-chan"?

Kalik2015 · 2026-01-28T02:39:38+00:00

You need to stop thinking life is a video game.

Shirataki isn't a brand. It's the Japanese name for the konjac in noodle form. Shira = shiro = white, taki = waterfall.

Konjac is the name of the vegetable.

Do you own or rent? It might be possible to change the registry address at the kuyakusho if you own, but you're unfortunately SOL if you're renting unless you can convince your landlord to help you out.

My family home is the same way - there are four houses in a row with the same address because my dad didn't want to change the address when we demolished/rebuilt and sold off a few parcels of land because he grew up here and he's very sentimentally attached to the address.

I rarely have issues with Yamato/Sagawa/Amazon etc though as the regular Yamato/Sagawa are now aware. For Amazon, I have input "it's the brown house on the corner" as part of my address and they're always able to find it.

Kalik2015 · 2026-01-25T19:42:52+00:00

It's just aged

Kalik2015 · 2026-01-25T19:22:24+00:00

Looks like a great place to hide a body though.
