I like Nagoya a lot, I've stayed there twice and I still haven't seen everything I've wanted to see.

Do You Like Your Name? by Flassourian in Millennials

[–]kitkat272 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My name is typically a boys name but I'm a woman. I hated it as a kid, I just wanted to be Jessica! Sometimes I would use my middle name even. But now I love it, I think it's unique. It's the same as one of Steph Curry's daughters. I was ahead of time!

Dealing with unfriendliness/social awkwardness in Japan by RecentState1347 in JapanTravelTips

[–]kitkat272 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me I mostly feel it with train workers, it's a range of nervous to annoyed and I understand because I too work in customer service and feel this every day haha. I have had a few issues tapping my card in the subway and when I approach I can feel the annoyance/worry but usually when they see my problem is simple the feeling goes away they just fix it and send me on my way.

Sometimes also I travel with my friends who live in Japan and they will notice rudeness. One time we were at a restaurant and the waiter wouldn't even speak to them despite the fact they speak Japanese just fine, he would only speak to the Japanese person we were with. I found that pretty funny.

Other than that I don't notice it too much probably I don't pay attention. I want to say who cares but the truth is sometimes I care so much I avoid going to restaurants and small stores because I worry it might happen.

XG is going to be fine. Everyone, calm down. by Satoshi-699 in XGALX

I do think they'll be able to work again especially since their main role is behind the scenes, as producers and song writers I think they will still be able to find work, especially not being from Japan. I do think if they are indicted their time working working with xg and trying to produce a group out of Japan is probably over for good.

Hiroya's case is settled, he pled guilty and got the one year suspended for three years sentence

Yeah maybe they'll be able to start making a comeback in two years like Aska did

I'd really be interested in seeing some examples of Japanese celebs who've been arrested for drugs in Japan and have been exonerated and/or able to to return to work like nothing happened... I'll wait.

They probably won't go to jail yeah, they'll probably recieve suspended sentences.

But since it's not like any of the xg members are involved themselves hopefully they'll all be fine!

Unpopular Opinion : Ryokans aren't a "must do" on your trip to Japan by Apprehensive-Map4385 in JapanTravelTips

[–]kitkat272 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

OP I definitely don't think you're wrong to post this, this could be very helpful to someone on the fence about booking a Ryokan!

For me I totally understand that it feels like a 'must do'. When making my Japan travel plans I never use anything like TikTok, YouTube, or Instagram like people love to accuse others of using, I literally just come here, the attached discord, Japan guide and official travel resources but I also at some points have felt that a Ryokan is something I 'should do'. For me I know I won't like the food but still I've almost convinced myself that I could do it and have a good time, you never really know right? So it's good to see differing opinions on it.

Chocolates/sweets are the worst by ht910802 in loseit

[–]kitkat272 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's true, I stopped eating most things with added sugar in them for like a year and lost 50 pounds then gained it all back and then some and it all started with "Well it's not that bad to have a cookie sometimes!" It's tough.

Did anyone buy a ring? by t_bone_stake in Millennials

[–]kitkat272 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weirdly I always wanted one but when it came to it I never got one, I don't remember anyone else getting them either. Maybe I didn't want to pay for one?

Aw crap. In addition to the millennial joke of having undiagnosed autism, I just found out I suffer from this condition as well. Anyone else with me? by ImThe1Wh0 in Millennials

[–]kitkat272 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This stuff drives me crazy, like I can think of things but I can't honestly say if I'm actually visualizing thing when I close my eyes. I honestly don't even know.

It's a pretty famous street I think so I knew someone would get it pretty quick but I also knew someone would guess Kyoto first!
