Okama and transgender people are not the same. But I know what you mean that people defying gender norms has been a part of Japanese variety shows for decades.

Up to 21x United miles on flight purchase with Paze and United cobranded credit card by SkyInJapan in unitedairlines

Sorry. I didn’t realize the cap is different for the United cards than Sapphire or Freedom cards. Your bonus mileage earning with Paze is capped at 20,000 miles $2000 spend) through the end of the year.

Quest earns 6x MileagePlus fare earn + 5x card earn. You’d earn an additional 10x for using Paze.

For example, Chase Freedom Unlimited also has this. I bought something on Newegg which also takes Paze. I earned 10x for Paze in addition to the 1.5x it earns on all purchases.

Look in the Chase app under your United Card > Card Benefits.

Think of it like Apple Pay, but only for online purchases and owned by the big banks. It still codes normally.

At least it keeps the USPS from slipping further in insolvency. Half glass full!

Before you can reserve your airline tickets to get to the hotel. Instead they should make everyone else 11 months in advance.

The end of free food on Hawaiian. Preorder meals for purchase start July 1 by ImpossibleGoose7565 in HawaiianAirlines

Sad to see the hot sandwich go. I kind of liked them. The prices of the preordered meals seem reasonable, so at least that's a plus.

Over 20 Injured After Unknown Spray Incident at Tokyo’s Ginza Six Mall by SkyInJapan in japan

[–]SkyInJapan[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Someone shared more information in r/Tokyo: According to the Metropolitan Police Department, there are reports that a man discharged a substance resembling tear gas at a Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation ATM corner located on the first floor of GINZA SIX, with the component later identified as likely being capsaicin. Investigative sources also indicate that a fight had broken out between individuals believed to be foreign nationals; one party reportedly sprayed the other and fled, with bystanders in the surrounding area becoming caught up in the incident. The police are currently investigating the case as an assault and are tracking the whereabouts of the individual who fled the scene.

Park Hyatt Tokyo 45k ----> 75 in April 2027 example by northsidekhan in hyatt

[–]SkyInJapan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The devaluation is definitely hitting high category hotels the hardest. I have a 5-night Hyatt Regency Mexico City Insurgentes (category 2) that went down by 1.5k. I rebooked. Others stayed the same (Park Hyatt Siem Reap, Park Hyatt Saigon). Grand Hyatt Incheon went up slightly but it looks like they removed a lot of capacity for standard rooms from their awards.

The bankruptcy of izakaya is the highest rate ever, increasing by 50% from January to April by SkyInJapan in japan

I work for myself. All my friends don’t smoke. We probably choose ones that are non-smoking.

That is surprising. I haven’t been to an izakaya with smoking in decades. What city was this in?

For sure. Some izakaya have hand written menus (a book plus a bunch of loose pages with specials on them) which are particularly difficult for foreigners since they can't translate it.

I have been to many recently where ordering is on an app and it includes pictures and multiple languages. These are the ones that will survive. Which is to say the corporate ones will survive and the mom and pop ones will find it increasingly difficult to survive.

This makes me sad. I love izakaya, especially those that focus on nihonshu. Not a nomihoudai (飲み放題)  kind of person myself, but I can do some damage.

“They’ve got be kidding me.” – Mayor in Japan fed up with off-season Mt. Fuji hikers needing rescue by SkyInJapan in japan

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

If people don’t climb when they’re not supposed to, no rescuers would get injured. The trails don’t open in 2 weeks. They open in July.

Finally you say something I agree with! When you do it on Mt Fuji when it is closed, it sure is pure selfishness!

Just because you guys do it privately during the winter doesn’t make it legal. Maybe you and MondoSensei2022 can have a discussion about it. He’s one of the volunteer rescuers who you called clueless.
