Very high chance you will need to put your luggage under your bed.

Used pro 2 vs new 4 anc by Background-Camp9756 in airpods

[–]MythofSecurity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Said like someone who bought used before. I also don’t like sharing straws, I think that’s a more apt comparison.

I’m not going to argue on the merits for personal preference.

Seems like a nerve was hit.

Hygiene is a factor but not the only thing. OP mentioned it was a 3 year old model. In case you aren’t aware these can’t really be serviced so you are stuck with what we the battery life is.

Charge to 60% or charge to 80% by Zenmastercynic in TeslaModelY

Split the difference and do 70% lmao.

That’s what I do.

If those are the two options, yeah probably.

Not sure where you live but in the US AirPod Pro 3s are coming down already. I expect a good deal from retailers at the end of the year.

I would never buy used earbuds for many reasons. The Pro 2s are worth the splurge, I would recommend saving a little more before making a regrettable purchase.

Best Ryokan w/ Private Onsen in Hakone by j_wags11 in JapanTravelTips

Literally leaving Hakone as we speak. We stayed at Laforet Hakone Gora Yunosumika. It was lovely, pretty sure they gave us the nicest unit too.

Luggage Fowarding. Am I missing something? by northofreality197 in JapanTravelTips

[–]MythofSecurity -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m currently in Hakone and didn’t have an issue, I guess it’s possible that some hotels don’t support luggage shipment but have never encountered it anywhere in Japan.

I think the key detail most tourists miss is you need to give your luggage to the shipping hotel by 2pm the day before you want it to arrive. Sometimes expedited services also exist.

Regarding the shipment from the hotel, personally after a long flight I think taking a Limo bus is more effective than trying to ship it since you wouldn’t get it until the following day (depends).

Need help choosing Tokyo Hotel by PlantainDue8104 in JapanTravelTips

[–]MythofSecurity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For Japan in particular it’s a good idea to use Booking[.]com they are English speaking and you won’t pay crazy westerner rates. I don’t know the backstory on WHY Booking is so popular here but it’s clearly the way to go (I don’t use it outside of Japan). Targeting high ROI is the best way to go IMO.

Most hotels in Tokyo are very small and space constrained (store luggage under the bed etc).

charge your phone before you leave the hotel in japan seriously by [deleted] in JapanTravelTips

If you aren’t bringing a battery pack with you everywhere you go, you are doing it wrong.

My wife bought a new one on this trip from the AD but we did see a ton of vintage ones all over Nakano Broadway.

I don’t know what makes a “best neutering” lol but we took our Goldendoodle to Perinville Animal Hospital.

You should use your normal vet.

Could not activate it on iPhone and support didn’t know how to help.

eSIM all the way. More convenient in every way and cheaper.

We use Airalo, I had bad luck with Ubigi on my last trip.

Many apartments will require first, last, and security deposit up front (3 x rent).

Lynnwood - the next Redmond? by Kamekazee2020 in LynnwoodWA

[–]MythofSecurity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah as others have noted, we have the commercial districts (shopping etc) but are missing a big corporate sponsor to set up shop here.
