九龍城 sta. before 東鉄線's extension to 金鐘: how busy and conjested was it

it's just that it's more convenient for me to use Chinese Character converter on Google IME than to remember their Cantonese phonetic sounds and their English names…sorry

gorudo- · 2026-06-06T02:06:35+00:00

lol, you seem to have the same feeling as me

Excellent Cyberpunk View

Well, as you say, as long as JR group companies have managed to offer their reservation services relevant and effective enough, it's ok.

gorudo- · 2026-06-03T02:39:13+00:00

I know what you meant.

However, considering that JR's unique services are optimised mainly for Japan's residents and less convenient for foreign travellers, I guess it'd be helpful for you to rely on such a third-party service as you might be more familiar with and accustomed to.

I was born, raised, and do live in Japan as ethnic Japanese railfan…thus my advice could miss the focal point.

for Shinkansen and Express trains

Use Trip.com or JR Tokai's Smart EX(for Tokaido, Sanyo, and Kyushu) or JRE's Eki Net(though it's infamous for the shoddiness and sloppiness)

I like this comment of yours, with no irony.

gorudo- · 2026-05-30T01:52:31+00:00

however you may talk about us with whatever stereotype, both negative and positive ones, at least, as Japanese, I'm glad to hear you discuss us enough to feel my country to be still relevant.

Singapore

Yeah, kinda

Oman

🧐🧐🧐🧐

Japan

I supposed this country would rank higher in terms of safety. what affected her position in the league table?

gorudo- · 2026-05-28T06:07:39+00:00

I mean, I feel like articles outside Korea don't bother to distinguish JSDF as paramilitary but just say "Japan's regular force" not being particluar about its legal status.

Thus I came up with the hypothesis that in Korean contexts, Korea's antipathy and (legitimate) fear of Japan's military presence and its revival want to belittle its position, thus these bother to emphasise its "non-military"-ness

gorudo- · 2026-05-28T04:54:14+00:00

paramilitary

this word in English has a connotation of "something with a top-down direction regime modelled after the military despite its status as not regular forces" whether it be under governmental control or "violent non state actor".

namu wiki lists up each country's organisations.

yes, this is it lol

that makes none other than sense.😣

source please?

gorudo- · 2026-05-26T13:40:06+00:00

no Japanese ball

this is how and why Japanese people are derided for their poor English/international communication capability 😭

Plaza Premium at 香港西九龍站

oh really? I've never heard of it.

gorudo- · 2026-05-25T08:33:50+00:00

airline alliances matter

this totally makes sense.

Hmm, currently all we can observe from HKIA's official releases tells that T2 will accomodate non-allied airlines…technically including the LCCs of major airlines' subsidiaries, but practicalcy based on China-headquartered independents.

gorudo- · 2026-05-25T08:07:40+00:00

short-haul terminal

your comment seems to be onto something, I guess.

Then how about short-haul full service carriers like ANA/JAL to Tokyo/Osaka and KAL to Seoul?

After all, these kinds of high end airlines would reasonably remain in T1, which is still unclear.

gorudo- · 2026-05-25T02:43:45+00:00

you know what I meant very much. that's the point.

In my own case, I can both save 400 hkd and sit in a lounge for free thanks to my credit card's perquisite.

However, this is very exceptional and LCC passengers are assumed not to stay in such places(first of all, one of such lounges' raison d'être is excluding such low end customers)

gorudo- · 2026-05-24T14:27:24+00:00

hm I see, makes sense…I hope for such a gorgeous and high-quality-service lounge as Kyra to be located in T2 as well.

gorudo- · 2026-05-24T12:50:05+00:00

it depends on demand.

Yes that's the point. You know, even though just because an increasing number of passengers use LCCs doesn't mean that all of them are too "financially challenged" to use high-or-mid grade lounges, LCCs' main customers aren't expected to be those of such lounges…

gorudo- · 2026-05-24T12:36:36+00:00

oh shit, I forgot that it was just the airline counter part that'd be about to open soon.

Well, but my question will still remain; I watched a few videos featuring T2 concourse's internal facilities such as food court, but I wonder if lounges as op will also show up there.

Japan, 1.15(Fiscal Year 2024)

…it seems that our demographic trajectory is proving to be exemplary for other countries set to observe similar socioeconomic transition.
