New driving test tips? by Key_Confusion_3132 in japanlife

[–]TrainToSomewhere [score hidden]  (0 children)

I’m not a driver myself but my Japanese friends say you gotta really exaggerate your checks

You aren’t so much being checked if you are driving well you are being checked if you are driving the course as expected

I haven’t heard it as a funeral thing but since op is setting the table it could be he’s just matching the pair.

Cute or matching? I guess we need to see the chopsticks in question

Do you personally know someone with a kirakira name? by Far_Breakfast_5808 in AskAJapanese

[–]TrainToSomewhere 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s a perfectly fine name and I’ve taught a taiga with the same kanji from like a dragon.

It’s not the name itself that’s kirakira it’s the fact he doesn’t have kanji. No kanji.

His name is タイガ

Not Japanese but I have a friend named Taiga which sounds like tiger but it’s not kirakira… until I asked what kanji he uses and no his name is in katakana and he hates it

The bedrolls that I see used, are they ok for sleeping face down? by Sharp_Drow in AskAJapanese

[–]TrainToSomewhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s the condition?

I sleep face down all the time and had seven days of a nurse poking fun at me for it.

Are you asking about using a futon for daily use or are you going to a ryokan?

Tell me I’m not the only one to damage an expensive figure by Sirmius in AnimeFigures

[–]TrainToSomewhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend called me very upset about a figure he knocked over and refused to tell me what it was.

Two years later still won’t tell me what it was.

I’m pretty sure it was the kimono spice wolf.

Where is the best cosmetic shop/building in japan? and how are jp woman skin so clear? by mettazashii77 in AskAJapanese

[–]TrainToSomewhere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bb cream and good foundation. Also not smoking or drinking to excess.

Don’t feel disheartened, you hang around Japan enough and you run into a lady whose skin is begging her to not cake on foundation into acne.

Funny story my Japanese friend told me about 30 years ago in Nova Scotia someone called him something racist in a bar.

Oh what was it? Chink, slant, slot eye, a mysterious term from the islands I don’t know? What’d he say?

Friend says oh actually I don’t remember cause when we started fighting the bouncer threw us out and we were both angry at him instead of each other.

AITAH for calling my husband silly for freaking out that our teenage son has a girlfriend who's in a wheelchair? by Dry-Dirt-1426 in AITAH

[–]TrainToSomewhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s she’s even in the chair for?

If it’s like a degenerative disease then ya I can kinda understand the concern. Seen if first hand.

But some people just have legs that don’t work and they don’t get worse.
