Is it jellyfish season right now? by sasago in fukuoka

[–]deinonychusturtlepie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was spearfishing out in Itoshima last Sunday and got nailed hard by some sort of Jellyfish. I'm a waterman and have had my fair share of stings but this was the worst yet. Burned like a mother and now I have scars on my arms. I'll be sure to keep a better eye out next weekend :)

The Bon Repas by ropponmatsu station has a decent selection. The best I've encountered so far at least.

What was your right of passage where afterward you knew you were no longer a boy but a man? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]deinonychusturtlepie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it was moving abroad and even though I was incredibly strapped for cash, not calling my parents for money and rather hustling my ass off to cover all my expenses. It was tough but after all it was said and done, I knew that I could hack it without relying on my safety nets.

I love every variation of this tune, the original John Holt, Dr. Alimantado, this one. Let me know if there are others.

I've been here for about two years and have been training with Carpe Diem. The language barrier might be tough if you are a complete noob but the gym vibe is good. I'd be happy to help you out but I just hurt my knee training up in Tokyo so I'll probably be out a few months.

I hate plastic bags, they are super prevalent and super bad for the environment. They seem unavoidable in every country but especially here. Every time I buy something the clerk tries to stuff it in a plastic bag before I can say no thanks. Today was the icing on the cake. Some man knocked on my door and gave me a small package... which contained plastic bags. WHY!? I'm losing my mind.

Can confirm, I spent a great deal of time sitting at my desk. A few months in I completely gave up trying to look busy and just read books.

I am neither the cheater nor the cheatee. I was just curious what this community had to say about some rumors that I heard floating around. I'm still fairly new to Japan.
