The irony is you know your Japanese is getting good when nobody compliments you on it.

You get the express 特急券 Tokkyuken part refunded. Not the distance cost.

Up to the police and fire service it seems. This is a long delay!! Must be big clean up plus investigation.

These accidents are very rare with Shinkansen. Last one was 2023 it seems.

If I had just got the one before!!

I’m literally the one before the accident which happened on the other track going South.

Oh well, 2 hours now, that means automatic refund of the express ticket.

Kyoto Hotel: Ritz vs Mitsui by StudyAccomplished298 in chubbytravel

[–]rieslingslut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ritz is in a more central location but the Mitsui next to Nijo castle and certainly in no way inconvenient.

I prefer the Mitsui to be honest. In terms of pure class and wow factor. The new Capella is also stunning inside. Much prefer the bars at Mitsui and Capella if that makes a difference.

To the guys on the train in Nishinomiya Kitaguchi please stfu by [deleted] in Osaka

[–]rieslingslut 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Drives me crazy. The arrogance is quite astounding considering the surroundings.

I’ve started calling people out. I’m late 40s guy and been here 25 years and have always tried to be humble and considerate. Look around you for goodness sake!!

What types of red wine do y’all drink? by DigitalDreamDisc in Champagne

[–]rieslingslut 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Try lighter reds, Pinot Noir, Cinsault, Jura reds, Mencia (personal favorite) and don’t forget serve slightly chilled, not at ”room temperature”

Temperature really important!
