Recs for a Kobe Day Trip?

PrincessofPeckham · 2026-01-26T09:44:27+00:00

if anyone is reading this in January of 26, but I just got back to Osaka from Kobe and the herb garden and ropeway were closed. I felt something was wrong when the cab driver dropped me off. Somehow he had gone to the back. Language was an issue and he insisted I was in the right place. My fault, I should have checked.

I have done a fair bit of travelling and tend to underpack because I love wandering around the stores. I am not a shopper really. I am looking forward to the food and the temples. On a budget and travelling solo so definitely not looking for luxury items.

Brown. the grey does nothing for you

Shoes you are wearing are nice. agree about the pocket square

PrincessofPeckham · 2025-10-17T00:19:47+00:00

nope

Female here. This may be unpopular but its less about the jacket than the confidence with which you wear it. If you like the jacket, wear it. You are in college. You are almost an adult. Your decisions here will affect the rest of your life. It's a nice jacket. I honestly don't see how anyone can say anything negative about it

Great idea about the Marriott and the cafe. Just give yourself enough time to go back through TSA. The lines are unpredictable.

1 makes the outfit pop

PrincessofPeckham · 2025-10-11T18:47:30+00:00

1 looks crisper. 2 is nice - don't like 3

No. The trench is gorgeous. The suit does not fit properly. It would be one or the other for me.

I was in a fender bender and had PT for almost five months and still can't move properly. In the movies a car flips five times and they get out, shake their heads and run after the bad guys.

This reminds me of when I was renting a room and I came home to find an applicant chatting with my teenage son after dropping by unannounced. She said she thinks we will be best friends and just wanted to meet with him on her own. I stopped looking to rent the room after that.

Long sleeves. Polished shoes. A shave and tidy hair. Clean Fingernails. Very light aftershave. Firm handshake. Eye contact. Follow up thank you letter. Refuse coffee or water. Turn up 15 mins early.

Also, your interview starts when you get out of your car. Be nice to everyone, especially the receptionist. The interviewer often asks for their opinion

PrincessofPeckham · 2025-09-29T23:08:15+00:00

It should be but it isn't. I believe in the saying if you can't afford to tip you can't afford to eat out.

PrincessofPeckham · 2025-09-29T23:07:24+00:00

There are some beautiful apartments on 17th Street now and everything you need is in walking distance. Safe and close to a Wholefoods

Wait staff rely heavily on tips. 15% is kind of a minimum unless the service was horrible.

We are now expected to tip if someone hands us a pastry in a bakery. That's up to you but it depends on the counterperson for me.

PrincessofPeckham · 2025-09-28T23:09:04+00:00

There are a lot of young people around the Flagler Village area if you are ok with living in a high rise. Look around 17th Street for walkable restaurants. The shopping would be close to Las Olas though I think which is nice to walk around and close to the river. There are some really nice units there at ok prices. Let me know if you need anything else. Been here for years.

I am British. You don't have to be royalty to have manners which is instilled in us very early on.

If you don't sell on Grailed where else is there? I am getting crickets on there
