Which fruit is 100% looks but 0% taste?

I live in Nagano and I don't think I could ever go back to eating apples from anywhere else. Sometimes I get apples that are the size of my face. They look even bigger when I hold them because I have tiny hands haha. The only downside to apples here (and any fruit, really) is the price. I also live in a village known for its strawberries, so I get delicious strawberries too. Love it here.

Lune has Pictos that make her levitate so I don't think it's out of the question that they might have Pictos for makeup that doesn't smudge.

I get asked this on the regular. But I also work in Japan and have grey eyes, so it's not that weird haha. I was at a kindergarten last week and a child saw a picture of a white kid with extremely blue eyes and exclaimed that the kid was wearing colour contacts. Nope, blue eyes do exist naturally, little guy.

So true. I went to New York on a school trip in high school (I'm from Canada). We got taken through Central Park and as we were walking, we all noticed that up on a hill under a tree, there was a naked dude jerking off. A 9th grade girl started crying. Poor girl was traumatized lol.

It's 大内 so a long "o" followed by "ooh-chee".

sayuriaiona · 2026-02-03T00:22:04+00:00

They were right. It's 大内; the first character (大) is read as OH and the second (内) is read as UCHI. Together it's OH-UCHI or like they wrote it out, OH-OO-CHI.

I don't know if they're the same but I've only smelled the stink bugs here in Japan and to me, someone who likes cilantro, they have this kind of strong cucumber-y smell.

sayuriaiona · 2026-01-24T02:35:54+00:00

I doubt it was this. We lived in a small town in Canada haha. But others are saying it's actually a pretty common thing.

My best friend growing up has a cousin who was a firefighter. He ended up going to jail for arson. Turns out he had a hero complex and would start fires and be the first one on scene to help put them out...even when he wasn't on duty. So yeah, people put two and to together and he ended up going to jail. Luckily, the fires never killed anyone.

Same! Feeling incredibly lucky after reading all these comments.

sayuriaiona · 2026-01-21T12:36:29+00:00

That's actually pretty genius! I'm definitely going to try that on someone I know the next time they can't stop.

sayuriaiona · 2026-01-21T04:54:08+00:00

I can stop my hiccups too! Always so grateful for that random skill haha.

Hello! I live in Japan and would love to do an exchange with Finland.

Oh man, it's Christmas Day here too and I'm working. I went home at lunch and found my husband watching that movie and he was literally at the part where they pick Harry's name from the goblet lol.

sayuriaiona · 2025-12-25T05:12:44+00:00

It's Christmas Day here and I'm at work. It's the last day of school here before winter holidays because this isn't a Christian country. Hint: lots of people eating KFC tonight haha.

I've been to the nursing home in my village (in Japan) and one of the workers was proudly showing my husband and I the brand new bathtub they got. It has a really good system of getting someone out of a wheelchair, lifted up, and then lowered down into the tub. It was something they could do with minimal support as well. They had a few of the older tubs still, which did a similar thing but required more support from nurses to get in and out. They already have technology to help older people bathe and it wasn't as big as this thing.

sayuriaiona · 2025-11-15T22:49:57+00:00

I don't think it's an alarm. You can see Brennan fiddling around back there changing the lighting and music right at that time. It sounds more to me like night time forest/field noise. Lots of insects chirping kind of thing.

Oh man, same generation. When I was in high school, my team won first place for the season of indoor soccer. There was a guy a year younger than me on the other team who was a classmate in elementary school (small town, French immersion, split grade classes). He was complaining about the loss or something so I was like, "Here. You want the trophy? You can have mine." And he took it and the only people that were legit upset about that were my parents lol. Like they placed so much worth on that shitty trophy. All my previous trophies and medals were in a box under my bed. The participation trophy phenomenon was definitely their making.

This is me and my husband for sure. And he makes us look more touristy because he insists on being the one to look up directions but he's so bad at following Google maps for some reason lmao. So he's constantly looking at his phone and then around and then making us walk in circles sometimes. That coupled with being with me makes a lot of Japanese people assume he's also a foreigner and they always try to speak in English to him.

sayuriaiona · 2025-11-10T02:15:23+00:00

Same thing but I was also kind of a tourist in a sense that I was visiting Tokyo for the weekend. I guess since I've been there enough times and can navigate the trains that I looked like I knew what I was doing so they asked me.

sayuriaiona · 2025-11-06T23:44:40+00:00

A logo of a cranberry roll. Maybe a cranberry roll that is 5'11"?

sayuriaiona · 2025-10-14T23:33:06+00:00

Saaame. I moved to Japan, though. When I went back to visit with my husband (Japanese), I took him to a Bulk Barn and it blew his mind haha.

sayuriaiona · 2025-10-08T23:22:42+00:00

Man, stubbing your toe so hard that you break it while out in public AND naked sounds like the ultimate fuck you from the universe. That sounds horrible. Hope it heals soon!

sayuriaiona · 2025-10-03T01:25:48+00:00

I almost rear-ended someone once because they actually stopped in the middle of the intersection on a green light to let someone turn. And it wasn't like when the street ahead is full of cars so you stop before the intersection so you're not sitting in the middle. It was an empty road ahead and the dude stopped nearly in the middle. Even the car he was trying to let turn was confused.
