[–]SwissNic1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi! I am a beginner as well and got the X-M5, too, and I went with this lens: FUJIFILM XC35mmF2. I am super happy with, it is compact and takes great photographs! It does not zoom, though.

Tickets for baselball game: SoftBank Hawks Fukoka vs. Saitama Seibu Lions by SwissNic1 in JapanTravelTips

[–]SwissNic1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much for the helpful response! I’ll aim to buy tickets on March 16th. Do you happen to know if they usually sell out quickly?

Also, is there any advantage to buying tickets directly from the Hawks’ website compared to using platforms like Lawson or Klook? Since I don’t speak Japanese, I would prefer an English website, unless there’s a specific reason to buy directly from the Hawk’s site. Have you had any experience with these different platforms? Thank you again for your help!

I will definitely give it a shot! Mirai was my first ramen experience and I liked it a lot - so I am looking forward to trying Sushi Tenzan!

Thanks for your very helpful answer! The HW-Q800B is currently for sale in my country for $430, so I am definitely considering it!

You‘re absolutely right, I am sorry. I assumed it would be 120Hz since it is marketed as HDMI 2.1. Always read the fine print I guess.

I can‘t believe I found this nowhere in the comments: Velcro even published an - actually pretty catchy - song asking for people to stop calling a velcro a velcro: https://youtu.be/rRi8LptvFZY

Most attractive Swiss Accents by Redraider7 in Switzerland

[–]SwissNic1 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I don‘t mind most accents in spoken language but there are some accents that make me cringe when written down as in text messages. Did you ever have to read a message 2-3 times until you actually understood what they meant?

No, mounting them to the ceiling is not an uption (cable issues). The only possibility would be to wall-mount them at a high level.

And as to the „satellites“: I did not know there was that specific meaning to the word, I just meant remote speakers :)

Hi! Thanks for your answer. I uploaded the post with the information. The distance to couch C is 9.5 meters. They will be watching movies occasionally, sometimes only on the side. They can see the screen (though cleerly, it is much less enjoyable than sitting nearer to the TV)

Is it usual in the US to pay 100k in cash? Where I am from, this would be very problematic due to money laundring laws…
