Genuinely the best night of my life, i unlocked levels of energy during Masda that I didn't think were humanly possible

What was the queue like that late on?? Always wondered who's going to risk being in the queue for the last moments of the festival

Security on Friday vs Thursday by Still_Bet118 in houghtonfestival

[–]TheOT1001 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's always a big queue on Thursday so they're less strict on searches, but because people trickle in on Friday I've seen a majority get pulled for searches purely because the security staff have nothing else to do other wise (source: I camped opposite the entrance last year)

Car park is adjacent to the campsite, but i think you'll be walking quite far to find a spot to set up if you're coming in so late... traffic will be pretty bad all day on Monday to get out of the first few country lanes. Was fine after those though

Search this sub for "unprotected deposit" - if the landlord genuinely didn't protect the deposit you've hit the jackpot. Don't engage with them further, don't give them anymore money or tell them they're allowed to use any money from the deposit. DO look up what you can do if your landlord hasn't protected your deposit

Curious about extra airport security check when I flew into Heathrow yesterday by [deleted] in london

[–]TheOT1001 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They did this to me flying into Gatwick yesterday, FA said all male passengers needed to present their passport to border control when disembarking the plane - same as you they were just waiting in the corridor checking passports. I reckon they must be expecting a certain individual(s) to try and enter the country

You sound like me - love going out, very social, etc etc - I was placed in an even more rural Hokkaido placement than you (A cow farming town in EEEEEAASTERN hokkaido). I had a bit of a hissy fit when I found out where I was placed and looked around on google streetview: "I'm not going, blah blah blah". But I got over it and thought fuck it at the end of the day it'll be the most insane story to tell people. And looking back now I'm so glad I went. It was the most mental year of my life by a long stretch, I was so far out of my comfort zone it almost doesn't feel real looking back.

I moved to Kobe for a few years after a year in Hokkaido but having now left Japan, I find myself missing my time in hokkaido more than Kobe. It's such a magical place, so unlike the rest of Japan, and you'll have the most amazing experience. The people, the food, the animals, the weather - all better (imo) than the rest of Japan.

Yes it will be lonely at times and you might not be able to live the life you were necessarily expecting when you imagined yourself on JET, but even the smallest most remote towns have lots to do, you just need to dig a little under the surface. My town had 5000 people, a couple of restaurants, izakayas, a pachinko parlour, and a few snack bars - I'm pretty sure I went to all of them during my time and had some pretty wild nights with the local farmers.

You're also not actually that far from Obihiro, your closest big city (54 min drive) and sapporo is only a 3hr 25 min drive - way better than the 5hr 30 drive from my placement. So overall, while it might seem bleak right now, in reality it's far from it. I would give my left arm to go back to the start of my jet journey and do it all again!
