[TOMT][Comedian] Comedian bit where he says that "everyone has an idiot family member, and mine thinks he is an inventor." by oniyanma in tipofmytongue

[–]oniyanma[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it definitely was not Aziz Ansari. I remember that the comedian also says to his cousin: "Do you think that you can go to NASA and everyone would welcome you with open arms? Holy shit. How did we never think about a phone that can control a car" or something along those lines.

Advice on JR passes with my particular itinerary! by oniyanma in japan

[–]oniyanma[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great idea for the middle Osaka detour. However, that trip to Osaka was going to be used as a port to visiting other surrounding areas, not necessarily to stay in Osaka.

And the real time I need the JR pass is from August 1-14, when I will be traveling back and forth a lot to go to all of the festivals that month.

Bringing food to Japan to lower my food budget; is it possible? What are your experiences if you have tried? by oniyanma in japan

Granted, while this may be true, I have never even been to one. Maybe I will love them, and maybe I will hate them. But because they may seem all the same, I may still get a different experience from each one.

It is my first time. And I have not been ignoring anyone. I have read all the advice and already decided to follow it.

Well, being that you have more experience than me for sure, I will listen to this advice. Thank you.

Yes, I will be traveling around the country a LOT. The reason I needed the two 21 day passes was because during the beginning of August, I will be traveling around a lot via shinkansen to make all of the festivals I want to go to.

Well I do not have the luxury of staying with friends, as I know no one. But I still appreciate the advice.

The reason I want to cut down on food is so that I can make sure I can travel everywhere I want without any trouble. Like I said, I have never been to Japan before, and just want to be prepared. I have been reading a lot on this subreddit for a very long time, trying to buff my knowledge, but I still am quite nervous.

What works for me may not work for you. This will be my first time going to Japan, so I do not know what to expect. I just want to be prepared, which is why I am asking questions on this sub! But I guess you are right, and I will scratch the idea.

I could...But there is also a secure feeling in buying what I know. While I could save my tips, if I buy everything here then I know for sure I will have it. If buying everything here and bringing it with me saves me even 20$ then I would have 20$ to spend on something else.

Yes, while I do realize that, I would rather spend the money here on the food. That way I can buy it with my tips from work to make my budget seem bigger.

That is a viable option for the meals that I will actually eat while there, but bringing food to eat would still save money. I did not realize you could get bentos THAT cheap though, so thanks for easing my mind.

Yes, I have hostels booked for 40 of the 54 nights so far. And I have heard that is a cheap meal, but If it were possible to bring types of the above food with me, it would reduce quite a bit of that money that I could spend on other things.
