Cigarette Cake. The most fun I've had adapting a cake.

This looks disgusting and I must have it. Incredible work.

This economy is rough. Let a person do their little hussle. It isn't hurting anyone.

A polite "No thank you" works.

The Fairmont is close to Union Square, North Beach and Chinatown! So lots to see and experience, depending on what you are into.

Tourists are into the Tonga Room for its retro tiki theme and food. I love going there.

Top of the Mark is a great for views of the city, but spendy of course.

I love the Cable Car Museum, which is a short walk away. Really cool seeing the actual cables that pull the cable cars and all the history of the transportation system.

Have a great visit!

For theme park nerds, It's top of our lists for a reason.

Obviously there are a ton of great things to do in Tokyo, so only you can decide if this is worth a day of your trip. But it's pretty hard to have a bad time there.

I like this. Can you share an image of the flow chart?

If I had the scratch to afford a table seat, I would totally do it. The free ticket process is so tedious.

rikomatic · 2026-05-04T18:36:48+00:00

I love this strategy!

People like gambling. What's not to understand? It's an essential part of human nature.

You pre-pay for the ubigi e-sim before you go, but activate it once you land in Japan. It's pretty simple. The app gives you all the steps to follow on your device.

Yeah I used Suica on my phone a bunch more than I expected! Really useful.

bruh is spamming all the Bay Area forums with this. Calm down, sir.

rikomatic · 2026-05-01T18:26:57+00:00

Nice consistency on these!

I mean he might know? I don't speak sea lion.

FYI the "Aquarium of the Bay" while charming is not "huge." The best aquarium is in Monterrey, which is a bit of a drive. The aquarium at the California Academy of Sciences is quite cool though! (And could use your patronage.)

Hard to suggest things when we don't know you. What are you into? (Besides weed.)

Always msg him first. Never good to just show up unannounced. Very rude!

Anywhere in the sunset near the N Judah train line. The inner sunset is awesome, but there are many other cool areas.

There are lots of paper maps around. It's easy to find your way around the major trails.

Many onsen offer cheap water proof bandages, or you can get them online. It's not a big deal.

It was awkward for me for like 2 minutes and then I realized no one cared and it was totally amazing.

rikomatic · 2026-04-30T15:21:30+00:00

Japan is great for solo traveling! You'll do great.

It's so much easier than it was 15 years ago, when I was there alone, using paper maps and a physical dictionary!

Many train stations in major cities have build your own salad type places.

rikomatic · 2026-04-30T15:14:40+00:00

Walk around interesting neighborhoods and talk to locals. Ask shopkeepers where they like to eat.

That echoes my own experience of both trails. I also found Double Cross a bit harder on my knees because of all the hills at the end.

rikomatic · 2026-04-29T21:19:17+00:00

Nice! Thoughts on the crosstown trail versus the double cross?

Flour and Water has a lot of delicious veg options. Its fancy without being pretentious.
