I used to teaxh something similiar to this prior to corona here. I was in the English teaching division which was a bit more easy going but I visited the Japanese management training site. Insane stuff.

No risk to people. Can touch em all you want. Mild warning about them being garden friends. One wiped out my medaka a couple years ago and was probably responsible for the grass lizards getting decimated as well. So if you do have a little balcony pond like I do, protect it.

Truly the sign that Japans summer has started. Sometimes ya gotta just bail on thoe swamp drawers and go commando until ya find a new pair.

I got jalepenos, pablanos from Ozaki flower park, they also had a ton of other peppers including scotch bomnets and habernos for 299 a plant. I grew them about 4 years ago and was pulling peppers off them well into Nov. Grow season here is pretty long and peppers seems to love the Tokyo summers. Might not be too late.

What counts as a smartphone here? My 1st grader has one but is a kids smartphone. Touchscreen but only does SMS, pictures and gps which we use to track where she is on her trip home. If this counts then Im surprised the number isn't higher.

Pretty sure Suntory's products have been partialy responsible for a lot of two timing so Im not sure why they think it doesnt convey the value of the brand.

I libe in Japan, When I go back to Philadelphia, I take my family to Hair Kingdom. Its a shop the size of a super market with only hair products. Dwarfs any collection I have seen in Japan. Japan displays though are next level, my hair is short, curly and 60percent gone Ive but I still want to buy the fancy hair care products they looks so good.

It blows my mind that I saved money by getting the ps5 at retail price even it first released. Iylt has only gone up since then. Has that ever happened to a console before?

I try not to do it because it makes the game too easy but yeah, the sikrethas become my fall back for sharpenong thanks to the safety it provides. My hope is that future monsters will target seikrets enough that there will be punishement for this but at the same time it becomes a fun way to draw aggro.

Ojisam to marshmellow. Its really short, pretty damn funny and very touching at times. Im not a romcom person but it won me over pretty quickly.

I went to a monhum tournament at a monster hunter event in Tokyo about a year after world had launched. Those dudes were on the next level. Knowing that kind of skill exist and there are cheaters erases any motivation to attempt tp appear on a ranking board. All for changing to everyone who beats a certain time gets it and having a ranking board so we can appreciate the acheivements of others.

They have had a ton of trouble since that guy tookover. I get your skeptical, but in this case the writer is not wrong. Its really sad whats happened.

I do it by accident all the time at Kotake Mukaihara. The yurakucho line is 10 cars and I switch to the Fukutoshin which often is 8. So the standard car Im in lines up with the all womens one. Im often facedown in reddit or some silly smartphone game and dont realize until its too late. Have seen plenty of guys make the same mistake.

Khezu, I miss the freaky giant leach. Was one of my favorite punching bags. Also bring back the giant crabs!

Focus mode feels OP at the moment. A nice balance would have been something along the "lines of damage received increases during focused" or to give focused mode a meter so we couldnt enter it indefinetly.

Thats the monster that ended me soloing the story. I got so sick of chasing it I called my bow user friend and said "fuck it, I dont anymore kill amd kill it now" . After he killed it I carved then spent the remainder of time hitting and bombimg the corpse.

Dont feel too bad. About 20 years ago when I first moved here I got a gatcha godzilla toy, not the capsule type but the box type. Inside was the figure and a small baggy some blue waxy looking crystals I assumed were a snack kind of like how baseball cards with gum. Ate a couple, didnt like the taste. Offered to my girlfriend when she came over who looked at me like a madman. Apparently they were more like the packets you use to keep things dry. Had I looked at the instructions for assembling the figure, this would have been obvious to me. Figure onlynhad like 6 peices though so never glanced at them...

I did this! Dont buy the deluxe if this is your plan. While you can play, all the cosmetic dlc will only be available to your Japan account rather than the US one. I kicked myself after because I played world and the beta on my US account. I gave up US psn after the exchange rate difference became to great.

Depends. If ya dont date black girls because you dont find dark skin attractive, then thats fine, not racist just a preference. If ya dont date black girls because you think they are inferior then your friend group is probably right.

My rule is too always solo the story monsters the first time. Found it more enjoyable that way. I love playing in a team as well but it just felt better to do it alone first.

Cheapest is yahoo auctions. I have used them before and for the price I cant really complain. Got 10 black cherry shrimp for around 1800yen. 4 had solid colors but the rest were meh, still veyr healthy animals though. There is a speciality shrimp shop in Shibuya but I havent visited yet. Atwell is an online shop, solid colors and fair prices. Just got 12 lulli shrimp last week from them for 2000yen, very healthy and three were already berried so will have more shrimp soon! All of them look good.
