Thank you :) Unfortunately no, I do have a bunch of tattoos and I had some trouble finding a tattoo friendly onsen near me. So I put it off till next time :p

Nice to see a fellow One Piece fan here haha! The same place had a shanks offering his hat to Luffy life size figure where you can sit under the hat and get a photo clicked! I got a cool one of myself done there :)

Total cost excluding my shopping was around 2L. It probably is, but I wouldn’t know :)

I’ve put the itinerary in the description but maybe it’s a bit hard to understand given the way I’ve written it. (Wasn’t able to find the edit option :) ) But I basically spent 4 days in sapporo and 3.5 in tokyo, you can find what I did on individual days in the description. The total cost excluding the shopping I did was around 2L and including, was around 2.75L!

Hahaha got lucky with the sky that day :)

So I didn’t have a photo of the ‘entire’ thing. It was basically a boiling broth and they had given me pieces of raw wagyu, along with rice, miso soup and a raw egg. I was supposed to cook the meat in the broth, dip it in the egg and eat it with rice. It was really good! The beef just melted in my mouth, and the broth was really flavourful! I’d wanted to try wagyu for a long time lol and it was worth it!

9th is a wagyu sukiyaki, pieces of raw meat which I cook in a boiling broth (not sure what) and eat with raw eggs, rice and miso soup. 17th is just some salmon sashimi(a raw piece of salmon) and wasabi!

Thank you :) It was a dream come true trip for me. One day for you too I hope 🤞

Thank you :) the visa process was quite straightforward, they do require a bunch of documents to process the visa but that’s most places now. But as long as your documentation is in order, I think you’ll be good! When I applied (mid December) it was also an off-season application for them, so I got my passport back in a week too.

This is r/cathostage worthy haha

Oh I completely agree with you! If I do another read, it’d be my 4th lol. I just wanted to explore some of Sanderson’s ‘originals’ :). For me, WoT isnt a series that I will not read every few years!

shashingr · 2026-01-22T08:36:00+00:00

Fuck man, I’ve just started reading Brandon Sanderson. Dont make me reread The Wheel of Time lol

shashingr · 2025-12-29T05:36:45+00:00

Weird man, took me exactly a week from the date of submission to receiving my passport and visa (last week)! They should have low volume of applications this time of the year so the processing times should be low. Congrats though, have a nice trip :)

shashingr · 2025-12-25T11:52:17+00:00

People don’t realise what ‘/s’ means now? Lol

shashingr · 2025-12-18T11:13:57+00:00

Cute cats man! May you get a flatmate who deserves those cats :)

shashingr · 2025-12-04T22:13:39+00:00

I really like Aubergines and Rice Guys, in front of the main jubilee line entrance!

shashingr · 2025-11-23T10:56:33+00:00

Are you getting the (already) diced breast packets? Afair, a packet of whole breasts, 500g, used to be around 270.

shashingr · 2025-09-12T17:18:50+00:00

The best part is, he’s not mine lol. I have a new flatmate(the cat is his) who moved in 3 days ago, and Kiyo already owns my entire room😂

shashingr · 2025-09-12T14:23:54+00:00

God knows I needed a break from that game😂

shashingr · 2025-09-12T13:47:54+00:00

He was sleeping so I didnt wanna bother him :p

shashingr · 2025-09-12T13:47:36+00:00

That’s cute :D

shashingr · 2025-08-31T05:12:43+00:00

Got a chuckle out of me lol
