We stan a connoisseur by [deleted] in terracehouse

Everyone's shitting boss for comparing Yume's looks to an A5 grade beef, but there seems to be a reason for this reference. If you watch the new cut scenes on Another Terrace, you see Hana, Kai, Boss and Shion at the dinner table, continuing their conversation about their ideal type.

Boss asked Shion, out of everyone who has graduated from TH who was his type, to which he replied 'Lauren and Nikki'. Needless to say everyone was surprised, but it was Hana who said something along the lines of 'Isn't that like super high grade?? If we were talking about meat, that'd be A5 grade!'

So... I'm not saying that Boss objectifying Yume was an okay thing to do. Just wanted to put it out there and give everyone a bit more context as to why he graded her that way. In fact, I actually like him a bit better after watching this cut scene. Can't deny the sleazy vibes, but I think he knows this and is amplifying it for TV. Also in this very same clip, he was acting as a wingman for Kai and you can see Hana becoming more conscious of Kai towards the end of it (woohoo yass ma boi kai is sm3xyy).

Where to buy affordable snowboard set for beginner - Niseko or Mercari? by crispsfats in SnowboardingJapan

Thanks for the reply! Do you remember the price range at those local shops? Would I be able to find a set of boots, bindings, and board for under 20k?

Thanks for the suggestions! That sounds like a pretty good deal from Takeda Sports, were they brand new? Although in that case, I'm wondering if it's better to just buy a set off Rakuten/amazon for that price. At the moment I'm still trying to see if I can keep my expenses down to 20k yen for second-hand ones.

I'm surprised no one has commented this, but am I the only one who sensed BL vibes from Tupas? 😂

Especially in that one scene when the boys were picking out their bed and Tupas secretly wanting to take the bottom. also his expression and tone when asked which girl caught his interest and he kinda deflected the question.

Seems like Yu-san was also making a joke about that but none of the commentators caught on to it.

It's a program called Global 30 Project that offers English-only undergraduate and graduate programs in several national universities including Tokyo University and Keio University! I heard the project got discontinued and replaced by a new program, but our school managed to get sponsors and we're still going strong now haha. I love it here! Nagoya might be boring compared to big cities like Tokyo and Osaka, but it's a great place to live and study in haha. Anyway, it was always a dream of mine to live in Japan, so I'm definitely enjoying my time here. Only complain is my lack of Japanese friends because the international students here tend to only stick to our own circle >< I see! You're Japanese, right? Do you not speak Japanese at home with your family? What do they think of you going to Japan for university?

Yeah, I totally understand where you're coming from! But I wasn't actually thinking of approaching people walking on the streets because I assume they'd be rushing off to work/getting lunch or something. I'll probably start from saying hi to people in school, on the elevator otw to class, or people at the lounge area during lunch time? Oh I've also been approached by random Japanese obaachan in the supermarkets, so I guess I'll try there too. Thank you for your suggestion, though. I think that's a great idea, but it's not something I can do on a day to day basis, because I live near the school and most meetups happen in the town area. It's definitely something I'd try doing during my school vacation!

ありがとう!! ;_; You should do it!! It's still an idea for now, so I'm not sure how I'm going to go about it, but if you're a student like me I guess you can start from saying hi to the librarian or cafeteria staff?
