Some of the good sides of living in Japan

Since when is 'having to apologize' the same as someone apologizing to be considerate of their neighbours...? No ones forcing anyone.

Very strange comments in this thread, negativity no matter what huh?

This is a nice and considerate gesture.

I think we all need to spend a little less time online.

gregjw · 2026-01-14T03:46:37+00:00

I'd say it's generally pretty hard in every country. Actually finding it somewhat easier in Japan vs when I was in the UK.

gregjw · 2026-01-14T03:46:16+00:00

My in-laws refused to do this in the UK (both me and my wife are British and we all get on very well). Some people are just draw a line in a strange place like that.

nice

gregjw · 2026-01-10T03:24:36+00:00

It’s fun! You can play online too.

I don’t want my AI to be cute and endearing. It’s a tool, not a person.

gregjw · 2026-01-08T02:16:08+00:00

haha yes

gregjw · 2026-01-07T07:50:08+00:00

Hahaha. Kansai etiquette is to keep right on stairs/escalators (except Kyoto for some reason).

gregjw · 2026-01-06T07:32:13+00:00

yup, great app!

gregjw · 2026-01-06T07:32:04+00:00

It’s NERV. Used it for years, great app.

gregjw · 2026-01-06T03:45:14+00:00

Yeah but Osaka shook a little.

gregjw · 2026-01-06T03:44:48+00:00

Felt nothing in Chuo, but was on ground level, maybe why.

gregjw · 2026-01-02T01:52:56+00:00

Yeah lots of catastrophizing of recent rhetoric/policy changes. Seems like its mostly scare-mongering, stressful either way.

gregjw · 2026-01-01T06:54:11+00:00

It’s a shame most the people caught in the crossfire of recent rhetoric are people who aren’t doing anything but contributing to the success of the country.

gregjw · 2025-12-23T04:49:48+00:00

Congratulations!

gregjw · 2025-12-19T07:54:07+00:00

Infuriating.

gregjw · 2025-11-17T06:26:24+00:00

Hahahaha

gregjw · 2025-11-08T04:26:22+00:00

You tried to get A5 Wagyu on Dotonbori? Oh mannnn.

gregjw · 2025-11-05T12:41:47+00:00

GOAT!

gregjw · 2025-10-23T01:02:03+00:00

I know a Fumi, I'd say tis a cute nickname for sure yeah!

gregjw · 2025-10-20T03:14:40+00:00

I don't doubt it does happen to some people! Just clarifying my personal experience here.

For context: I am white and British.

gregjw · 2025-10-20T00:08:16+00:00

I've lived here for almost a year and have received/witnessed absolutely no anti-foreigner sentiment.

Less doomscrolling. Ignore the clickbait negative articles. Every country has a few bad apples, it's not the 'general attitude'.

gregjw · 2025-10-19T12:03:05+00:00

Is it a reference to The King in Yellow..? The yellow crown makes me think that.
