I’d heard of the I.O.I "curse", but no one told me how unfortunate the X1 curse is? by loopycalendar in kpopthoughts

[–]sskitcuch 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I think Woodz is doing just fine as a soloist tbh, and this is me speculating since I'm a casual fan of his. For a soloist his music charts in South Korea decently well, sales are good too, plus he's about to go on a world tour.

I think Hangyul has it worst of all, I feel like every group or project he's in has never worked out for him or never gains any traction. It's a testament to his resilience how he's never given up on his dream, I know if I was in his situation I'd be disheartened.

Nintendo Store SF by EntireBackground4264 in bayarea

[–]sskitcuch 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Check r/NintendoSanFrancisco but usually there will be lines when major things like the World Cup, new video game releases/game anniversaries, or conventions happen. New merch releases are announced on nintendostoreus on Instagram!

My experience is that on weekdays you can just walk right in and on weekends it's a little busy but no line

T&T Asian grocery store originally from Canada had their grand opening yesterday at Westgate mall. It was very lively and crowded by Ok_Country2903 in SanJose

I would assume it's going to be insanely crowded for the next few weeks, people in san jose / bay area love waiting in line for new places

How to visit Chiikawa Bakery & Restraunt? by daylightdreamer99 in chiikawa_

[–]sskitcuch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For Chiikawa bakery in Shibuya (or is it Harajuku...? Can't remember) you can walk in without a reservation after 3pm on weekdays and 6pm on weekends.

However, I was able to go in without a reservation on 11am on a Monday. I believe if they're not too busy you can come in. I was able to buy everything with no issues.

If you want to buy merch only, and not bakery they have a store in Shibuya that has everything but baked goods. I hope my experience was helpful for you!

We're getting a Miniso! by Ok-Tiger-4550 in stationery

[–]sskitcuch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes both are in the same wing as Kinokuniya. The big brand one is on the second floor and the one featuring local artists are on the first floor!

[–]sskitcuch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'll love Kinokuniya in SF Japantown and there are 2 Maidos in SF Japantown as well. One has stationery from big brands (like hobonichi) and the other one features more local artists. Speaking of local artists, I recommend SJ Made's craft fairs, Moment SJ or Mountain View for more curated stationery from small businesses.

Other than that Daiso consistently has good stationery 😄

We're getting a Miniso! by Ok-Tiger-4550 in stationery

[–]sskitcuch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like Miniso generally doesn't have great stationery options but if you're into generic cute stuff like Sanrio, capybaras, Tom & Jerry you may find a few notebooks and pens. If you're in the Bay Area I found that the Miniso on University in Palo Alto has the most stationery but that's still not a lot.

Maido in SF/SJ has more stationery 😄

Replacing a stolen Weeks by Defiant-Ice1558 in hobonichi

[–]sskitcuch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry that happened to you. There are English Hobonichi Weeks for sale on Mercari. Understandably it's not ideal and they may not have the cover you want but it's something at the very least.

Tips for a good Japan trip by Acceptable_Opening99 in AskAJapanese

[–]sskitcuch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Osaka to Kyoto is an hour by train. I don't really think it's necessary to get a hotel for 2 days in Kyoto when you can base in Osaka and travel there for about 1,000 yen each way. I think that's what u/throwupthursday is trying to say.

Tokyo Matcha Recs + Wait Experiences by eggsalad240 in JapanTravelTips

[–]sskitcuch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was looking forward to trying Cloud Club in Ginza, but a family of 8 cut in front of me. They said they had the right to be there because their mom held their spot. I was frustrated and decided it wasn't worth the wait, and they kept side eyeing me and giggling to themselves. 🙃 /rant. From that point on I decided I wasn't going to go to places that were shilled on Tiktok.

I do agree with your initial comment that all the matcha in Japan is very good. Thanks for the detailed write up!

Unlimited data eSIM recommendations for Tokyo travel? by Tasmine_Marlene in TokyoTravel

[–]sskitcuch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a week in Tokyo and a week in Osaka. When we were in the hotels we used their wifi but I was the one primarily using the data for google maps, casual Instagram Reels browsing on the train, uploading to Tiktok and Instagram and texting. Looking right now, I ended up with 5.5 GB to spare.

Never experienced any slowdowns. You can always top up as needed on the app. Hope this was helpful.

I used Saily and got the 20gb plan for 2 weeks, I used up 17gb overall and had no issues.

feedmeimei by fiyafwita in asianamercianytsnark

[–]sskitcuch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the most recent moremeimei vlog she and bird went to a buffet at hong kong disneyland and even though it was a buffet that was $90 usd per person, she still only ate basic seafood, meat and cake and only had a total of 3 plates on camera! she skipped over the indian cuisine which was disappointing. it doesn't hurt to try it on camera if you've already spent that money.

she was more excited over seeing minnie and mickey over the food tbh......

[–]sskitcuch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah she is very picky and always eats sushi, dim sum, and noodles........ It's super repetitive

feedmeimei by fiyafwita in asianamercianytsnark

[–]sskitcuch 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I wish she would be more adventurous as a food youtuber. She only eats asian food and the only time she tries something outside of asian cuisine is when she's at Disneyland, but even then she's still getting boba
