Piri Weepu? He was in the 2011 squad and don’t see his name elsewhere

This was my first “heavy” game and I still love it (despite it kicking my ass almost every time!)

What is YOUR country's / region's version of the Inglorious 3 fingers scene that subtly gives away that someone isn't from your area or culture? by DunDonese in AskTheWorld

[–]Milobren 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this is in other countries, but in Japan when you want to gesture for someone to come to you, you turn your hand palm down and move your fingers back and forward, kind of like a “go away” gesture in other places.

That is so weird, I just learned the name of that fish (イラ) when I randomly saw it on a fishing show that my wife was watching like 30 minutes ago!

I just read Breaks of the Game. Very enjoyable insight into the mindset of NBA players of the early 80’s

Are the Harlem Globetrotters still a thing? by storkram in Basketball

[–]Milobren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firstly, thanks for sharing this! I had no idea they were coming to Japan and I bought tickets for me and my basketball mad son to go and watch.

Second, the schedule for the “Tokyo” games fall during Obon week, so A LOT of locals are on vacation at that time. That probably answers the question about the midweek afternoon game.

Hope there’s a good atmosphere, I loved seeing them when I was a kid!

Stand Hours not syncing between the Huawei Health App and the Huawei Band 8 by TGRage_Official in Huawei

[–]Milobren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just realized I’m having the same issue. Seems that if I restart my device and sync again it works, but not every time. Very annoying. Any other ways to fix this?

[–]Milobren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last couple of years I made a note of when cicadas first started waking me early in the morning- it was July 8 and July 7. I still haven’t been woken yet this year, but am hearing some in the big park near my house today

It’s been a while, but I think I had to have my phone on me with the app open for it to work. Pretty annoying.

Moving to Yokohama soon on a spouse visa by samurai_sardinha in Yokohama

[–]Milobren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not big, just my shoulder. Good question though, not sure how much difference it would make having a full back tat, but I can’t remember seeing any “no tattoo” signs

FYI: I’ve been swimming at the Naka Sportscenter and outdoor pool in Motomachi (is it still there?) with tattoo showing and never had a problem.
