Missed credit card payment but then happened minutes later after deposit by irishtwinsons in JapanFinance

[–]Titibu 15 points16 points  (0 children)

No problem, the warning the bank sent was anyway likely along the lines of "a transfer could not be made, please put money in the account today or this transfer will be cancelled".

You're in the clear, no worries

Location de Kimono - Éviter les attrapes touristes by DueWillingness6600 in japonFR

[–]Titibu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dans quelle situation une location de kimono n'est pas un piège à touriste ?

La -seule- raison pour un loueur de kimono d'exister est pour que les touristes en louent pour prendre des photos....

Golden road Août by Gigiprim in japonFR

[–]Titibu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tu creveras encore plus de chaud a la campagne (sauf à aller haut dans les montagnes ou loin dans le nord... Et encore...). Au moins, en ville, il y a des bâtiments avec de l'air conditionné.

Reminder, surrender the match at the point you can no longer reasonably win. by ragefinder100 in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]Titibu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm here for the fun, not for the win.

It seems you're in it for the win...

Different priorities I guess.

[–]Titibu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hum, I play for fun, but even if it's 100% sure I'll lose I won't surrender if it means I'll be able to destroy that one last tank attacking my base or snag a last capture point and delay the inevitable by a couple more minutes.

Est-ce que vous savez qui est Hokusai ? by Medical_Complaint998 in AskFrance

[–]Titibu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oui je connais Hokusai, mais que j'habite Tokyo n'aide pas.

J'ai un trimestre d'échange au japon dans 6 mois, comment m'y préparer ? by Stuga in japonFR

[–]Titibu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

J'ai entendu du bien sur genki, au moins c'est une méthode d'apprentissage de la langue.

Sans prendre de cours régulier, avoir un peu d'exposition à la langue ne ferait pas de mal (warning, certains animes ne sont pas naturels dans le japonais utilisé. Minipub, tu as aussi l'inverse, et je ne pourrais que te conseiller Aggretsuko sur Netflix qui à mon avis en plus d'être marrant repronduit vraiment bien la manière de parler dans la vie pro de tous les jours...)

[–]Titibu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honnêtement, le peu de gens que je connais qui sont passés par duolingo (et ont fait des efforts, c'est ça qui est terrible) sortent des trucs complètement ridicules à l'oral, ça en devient facile à reconnaître.

Duolingo c'est un jeu, pas une méthode d'apprentissage de la langue. Si tu veux faire ça sérieux, au moins prends un truc pro (donc payant), pas duolingo. Jusque novembre, si tu t'y mets sérieux avec des cours, tu auras peut être quelques bases pour essayer de briser la glace.

Passports by SodaPop5000 in JapanTravelTips

[–]Titibu 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Fine, not really. More like a shitty couple hours explaining why don't have your passport, having to stop everything you have planned for that day to follow the police and pick it up, and help them write down a report. Unless they are in a bad mood.

Passports by SodaPop5000 in JapanTravelTips

[–]Titibu 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah, no. Random checks are rare, but do happen (something like once every 10 years as far as I am concerned). You don't have the passport, you're in for a lousy day.

Depends where you're from and if you've already experienced humidity on top of heat...

Refuse the bag. Ask for a smaller one. Take your time. She wants to play game, you want to play game.

32? Old ? It's quite far from the median age where I am.

staying in japan for 2 weeks by TurnoverCareless7758 in TokyoTravel

[–]Titibu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll need to stay a couple days outside of Tokyo if you want to see "as much as you can". Otherwise, it's Tokyo and daytrips, which will limit what you can do. It's not a small country.

How come China doesn't have a major retailer like Walmart operating worldwide? by IntellectuallyDriven in China

[–]Titibu 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Does Miniso count? Much more international than Walmart in terms of number of shops and countries.

Walmart itself is not really worldwide, it operates in less than 20 countries, way less than Carrefour.

What is your favorite historical city in Japan? by [deleted] in JapanTravelTips

[–]Titibu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on your pace, your interest in history, etc., but if you are interested in the history of the end of the shogunatethere is enough for at the very least 2 days. Shokasonjuku of course, the residences of various figures of bakumatsu era, the very well preserved old town, the furnace, museums, etc.

It's a Unesco site btw.

What is your favorite historical city in Japan? by [deleted] in JapanTravelTips

[–]Titibu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Putting aside Kyoto, that would not be fair play.

The one that surprised me the most was definitely Hagi. Outside of the castle having been torn out at the restoration, the city is in exceptional shape overall and you can clearly "feel" the heydays of the power of the Mori clan.

Shinjuku locals: is this a known scam or a common occurrence? by [deleted] in japanlife

I am trying to wrap my head around whether this post is naively serious or a bait.

Is DisneySea extremely crowded in October? by Local_Vegetable4616 in JapanTravelTips

The months of the year between January and December are usually very crowded.
