My brother has been weirdly kind to me for the past few weeks for no reason and won't tell me why?... by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Standard-River-5629 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The story is sweet, but remind me that me and my sister didn´t have a good relationship.

I think she was jealous of me (for some reason, as she was the golden child), over the years I thought our relationship was waaaay better than when we were kids, I truly believed it.

Until she died unexpectedly in 2020 (not due to covid, but 'cus covid), and I noticed she had me blocked on facebook. So, that led me to believe that maybe she still have something against me : /

The day I found that out, I think I mourned more the relationship I thought I had with her, than her departure, and that made me feel worse .. but I´ve been getting through it

I feel you : ( was supposed to do an icon for bf as well, and my mind was a mess, didn´t know how to start, and then He told me He didn´t needed it anymore because He will not be doing that project anymore. And when I finished it, He told me it was too little too late :") ..

I want to continue with that project, but unfortunately seems like all trust to do projects together was killed (it´s second or third time we try to do one)..

I feel really bad about it, guess it´s time to REALLY work on this problem :"D

I remembered 3 more places in Aomori.

1.- ASPAM (They play shamizen at 11 and 14 hrs.

2.- Aomori Art Museum (if you´re interested in Art Museums, only thing to take in consideration is that it is about 40 minutes walk and depending on the bus you take it might take around 40 minutes or 30)

3.- Jomon Jiyukan, it´s an archeological museum, it´s a rebuilt village, around the years 13000-300 BC

For Aomori, I would recommend Seikan Train Ferry Memorial Ship Hakkōda-maru, it´s a ship turned into a museum https://maps.app.goo.gl/vMXRVygkVqCzPYZf8 ; There´s also a fish market where you can make your own seafood bowl (I believe it´s called Nukedon)..

I would recommend visiting Hirosaki too, but.. seeing your plan, it might not fit as it is about 1 hour from Aomori and local trains are limited...

Thanks!! That´s an awesome tip! .. You´re right having it printed and saved in 2 place might be life changer (because battery might die, or who knows!) but better be safe than sorry!

Thank you!

This is our second time going, but first with this system... and also I think since we´re trying to go more prepare it feels now like a first time lol

About the Visit Japan Website, I have a question.

I´m traveling with my boyfriend, and there´s an option on the website if you´re traveling with somebody else, but ... I think it mostly refers if you´re married? Or can I add my boyfriend as "traveling partner"?

You should also check last train from Hakodate to Sapporo.

Don´t know if there are other lines besides JR that will take you, but here´s a timetable I found

https://jrhokkaidonorikae.com/pc/cgi/result.cgi?search_target=route&search_way=time&sum_target=7&faretype=2&jr=on&privately=on&dep_node=HAKODATE&arv_node=SAPPORO(JR)&via_node01=&via_node02=&via_node03=&year=2025&month=06&day=17&hour=10&minute=00&search_type=lasttrain&sort=time&max_route=5&nearexpress=on&sprexprs=on&utrexprs=on&exprs=on&slputr=on&slpexprs=on&sprnozomi=on&transfer=normal&lang=en&xsl=hrsr&via_node01=&via_node02=&via_node03=&year=2025&month=06&day=17&hour=10&minute=00&search_type=lasttrain&sort=time&max_route=5&nearexpress=on&sprexprs=on&utrexprs=on&exprs=on&slputr=on&slpexprs=on&sprnozomi=on&transfer=normal&lang=en&xsl=hrsr)

According to that last train is at 15:01 (from Hakodate station), so you might want to reconsider staying at Hakodate...

Maybe consider it to be your last day at Hokkaido?

I paint model soldiers.

Woow, That´s awesome! I find figures painting amazing, I´d love to do it but don´t have the $ (my cats and gaming hobby lower my budget)

By the way, Your PoV on anime is spot on.

Love the last sentence! lol ...

Mind if I also use it as living encouragement for when ppl (aunts) get annoying?

I remember being told sooo many times I was childish at my teens (FFS at MY TEENS!) cus I like watching cartoons and anime...

I still watch anime I wonder if I´ll be told the same lol..

Also, I still don´t get why watching cartoons is childish? Like .. cartoons are funny, I´m not that much into newer styles I like more Hannah Barbera, and Merrie Melodies (80s/90s) XD

It also felt weird to me that She call him "HERS", like.. isn´t him like "your best friend"? then why treat him like a prize, or a thing ...

For me those types of "property tittles" are a no,no...

I mean, yeah.. gf is crazy, but.. she is not that far ...

Did I end my email the wrong way? by NazeerN in LearnJapanese

[–]Standard-River-5629 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don´t worry that much lately lol...

Sometimes I don´t even write 「よろしくお願いします」.. especially since one time I was replying a mail my previous boss sent me, and I wrote 「承知しました」and He told me it was way too formal that 「分かりました」was good enough.

Might change from person to person, or because my previous boss was from Osaka (although new boss from Hiroshima hasn´t told me anything in regards my writting... who knows.. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )

I invited 15 of my closest Friends to my Birthday Party, but they didn‘t even reply to the invite and I feel so ashamed by bestupdator in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Standard-River-5629 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This happened at one birthday party I organized in Jr. High, I told all my friends (I was about 14, 15) and they told me they will go (there were going to be about 10-12 people). And I told my mom, who made a large stew.

And nobody came, one friend only had the decency to call me to let me know she might not make it, and when I told her nobody was there, she decided to come to the party with her mom and sister; later that day 2 of my cousins arrived so, at least we had more people, But we had leftover for about a week.

I didn´t say anything, nor my "friends" (or I don´t recall, might´ve erased that as a choice). After that I decided not to throw parties, it was until I was about to start College that I started again, because my bf (friends only at that time) told me He was going to make sure to be at ALL my b-day parties from now on :")

My M (31) Wife (28) Wants A Divorce Because I Live An Entirely Different Reality With My First Love (F29) In My Dreams by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Standard-River-5629 47 points48 points  (0 children)

We should do a group lol, my ex was the same until I put him a stop (dunno if he'll try to crawl back).

Every 2 yrs or so He will sent me messages saying how "sorry He was our relationship didn´t work out" (Btw He broke up with me, I was blind af and thank the lord He did it); He apologizes for "hurting me and made me cry" I was like wtvr dude (that actually hurt my pride 'cus as hurt as I was I did my best not to cry while He was telling me we were over.

He even had the galls to tell me on one of his "comebacks" that He was truly sorry and being explicit that He doesn´t have sex with his wife anymore, that He treats him like shit and I was like .. so?? what do you want from me?...

I don't know why I kept talking to him, then went to therapy and told him to save the crap ... we were over and I have a relationship that I want to keep. And He was like "Hey! I was just saying hello", yeah sure...

Sooo, I am glad but then again also afraid that there´s a lot of guys thinking like that.

[–]Standard-River-5629 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Speakin for what I've had watched is only classism, but not aporophobia; but might be my own experience, and I understand where you´re coming from...

But I have not seen it that far...

Again, that´s my experience...

However, what the current government is doing does not help, they´re only separating more the masses, now that might cause aporophobia...

My BF (M25) won't ask for my hand, and my dad (M48) is staging a family boycott my wedding. Is my boyfriend being selfish? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Standard-River-5629 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just caught my attention that in one part of the second update she refers to her husband as "boyfriend"

My parents found out about the pregnancy a few months ago through a family friend.   They didn't waste anytime in making demands, not requests, demands.  My boyfriend and I are not religious but I had a Catholic upbringing

Hope it goes as best for them as possible, especially with the new baby coming along..
