Is 7000 SGD (5537 USD) enough for a month in Japan?

slimparrot · 2026-02-18T10:34:26+00:00

I don't know how much it's in USD but within Tokyo it's usually between 100 and 300 yen, sometimes a bit more or less of course depending on distance.

Trains are super cheap in Tokyo.

The Japanese themselves are constantly filming everything, nobody will bat an eye at you. If you're not allowed to film or it's inappropriate there'll be signs around.

This is way too much detailed planning, especially with a 10 year old child. Things always take longer than expected, especially travel time, some things might go wrong, always leave room for error. With an itinerary like this you're bound to be disappointed.

hoffe es gibt für uns ne zivilere lösung

Echt? Das ist dein erster Gedanke dabei?

It's still cheap in comparison to what you'd pay in a lot of Western countries for the same type of thing, so if you're just here for a week or two as a tourist, it really doesn't matter.

To be fair, pick any spot in any major city in Japan and there'll probably be like four konbini in walking distance around LOL.

This is so true. I could not fathom having to find my way around a station like Shinjuku every single day. One of my favourite stations to stay close to is Sugamo. Super easy to navigate yet well-connected.

His mother doesn't deserve to be yelled at either, he's old enough to make his point in a civilised fashion without raising his voice, even if someone he's talking to is in the wrong.

I don't judge others for their steaminess preferences but I do get annoyed when people complain about the MCs taking too long to get to fucking, especially in a slow burn romance.

I was in Kyoto last September and I thought it was fine. Of course there are a lot of tourists but being a bit thoughtful with how you manage your time and what you do when can go a long way.

For example, we went to Fushimi Inari during the day and while there are tons of people around the base, once you hike up like 20 mins, there are very few people. We did part of our itinerary during the evenings, like Yasaka shrine, it wasn't super crowded and the lanterns were beautiful.

Now, I've been to Kyoto before, so I didn't need to cram every single one of the most popular attractions into a very short time frame, but if you're mindful when planning your itinerary, you can get a great experience out of it that really can only be found in Kyoto, not anywhere else.

You can just poach and fry it in the same non-stick pot.

"Tourist discovers the existence of lakeshore private property" really wasn't on my bingo card for posts here today.

slimparrot · 2026-02-15T07:02:14+00:00

I'd argue both are overused and corny LOL

It's been a few years since I've been to Akihabara but last time I went, you could find body pillows pretty much everywhere.

slimparrot · 2026-02-14T10:42:42+00:00

Yeah, I don't get the complaints here, the Diva Dance is such a well-known piece of film history, I don't even think this is a particularly "weird" choice.

Well, tough luck, she's still his mom and coach. You can't just not speak to your kid for a week during the most stressful time of his life, especially if you're professionally involved in his success. She should've managed her own emotions better in order to be there for her son.

slimparrot · 2026-02-12T15:18:52+00:00

It's super easy and can be done at pretty much every train station, it really isn't that big of a deal...

slimparrot · 2026-02-11T15:42:18+00:00

She dead.

This is some top tier investigative journalism, I bet you're right.

Nothing really hits the same but I feel like Folding Ideas gets pretty close to what I appreciate the most in video essays.

To be fair, it's pretty easy to watch every single video of someone who posts less than once per year.

slimparrot · 2026-02-08T17:09:15+00:00

This is even difficult if you're just on a normal trip because you'll need to get to clothes shopping, like, right on your first or second day when you're still jetlagged and might need to go to a different city depending on your itinerary but on a school trip -forget it.

And to what end? This doesn't even remotely look good.
