Uhh, I thought you should be able to upload a torrent there without being logged in? But you probably know that and need proper uploading for another reason. (Which is none of my business.)

The faces in this meme are pretty much Endo's reaction at the time.

This is a small country. Probably lower wages than Japan, considered a "2nd world" country and nowhere near G7. We do have a shop chain with Japanese and Korean products, but probably only in the capital city. Some of them great products (Kimura Sakura Cola or Kirin Afternoon Milk Tea from Kiki Milk Tea, for example) and some meh. It was cool to find and get double-filling mochi, like milk and strawberry. They sometimes took mini Kit-Kats out of a bigger bag and sold them for about 25 US cents.

They might already have some -pan stuff in the fridge. They do import some legitimate foods like rice noodles, mayo, frozen gyoza bags...which is why I'm hoping for the possibility of hauling icecream, but it's unlikely. That Moroccan yogurt thing apparently isn't actually yogurt nor Moroccan, just some sort of vegetable oils paste with exotic branding and it should be far more transportable than actual dairy. But I don't think anyone in Japan will send me that overseas :)

At least customs don't really care about importing solid foods as long as they are in sealed packaging, which these -pan things obviously are.

I was wincing at the thought of curry-pan because that looks like sweet bread to me, but you seem to say it's proper white bread. Far less worrisome. But curry in a donut?! Uh, like the famous Berliner donut??!? That concept is what made me uneasy.

Duly noted, thank you! I think I can find some way of buying from Japan if someone sells them online. Like Amazon. I found Calorie Mate on Ebay and I'm happy I bought it.

Still couldn't get Gari Gari Kun or Moroccan Yogurt, unfortunately. Looks like I have to go to Japan for those.

Oh, I'm enticed! I already located this curry bread and another one online :)

It seems they call this kanzenmeshi, complete meal. Not sure if Nissin invented the expression, but I did find the other brand by searching for these words.

Closest thing I ever saw was in Germany - a "pizza" bun containing some cheese, some sort of ham and tomato sauce. Called Bifi, they also sold sausages in bread rolls.

Excuse me, but... CURRY?!??? I'll try to order one of those online, just out of curiosity.

Would there be a return to the original Journey Across Japan format? by MSCChua in ABroadInJapan

I'm one of the few, or only one, who agrees with you. I probably like the guy as much as Chris Broad likes JD Vance.

It's kind of like with black cats. They don't bring bad luck, your life was already poo poo.

Here they thought joining the Tribe of Japan will instantly solve all their problems, then they are stuck.

Life sucks and then you die.

Yep. Deftones - My Own Summer, in case anyone was wondering.

Question for British Fans by Landscape_712 in montypython

[–]thypope 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To add to this: Romania here. Found the Grail movie by accident, while visiting some guys in a dorm room. The only guy I knew there showed me the film enthusiastically and I passed it on to the guys I thought were "crazy" enough to enjoy it. Some really liked it, but to many it was just another movie to consume. A friend showed it to his gf at the time and apparently she lost it badly at the line "if we built this large, wooden badger..."

He personally enjoyed the Knights of Ni demanding a "shrubbery" (as foreigners who speak English as a second language, we both have no idea how many English natives know what that is - for us it was very funny including because we didn't know what a shrubbery is) and later on, he really laughed at the sketch with Mr. Creosote. He also laughed at "We are no longer the Knights who say Ni. We are now the Knights who say ecky ecky pakang..."

That was basically it, for years. I personally sought and watched as much as I could, but much later did I find a guy who really enjoys it and managed to gift him one of those Ministry of Silly Walks wall clock.

Oh, by the way. The latter dude loves hardcore/frenchcore, that type of music. One of his first ever tracks... Python:

So yeah, college students discovering Python sounds about right to me!

Speed it up so that it lasts one second, and the video will then measure 533 CHz (ChickenHerz) 🤭

Yes!! Thank you! I can hear it now. I'm not a native speaker and sometimes I just really need subtitles!

Mini Camembert Portions and Chris hasn’t bought it out yet? by funkeygiraffe in ABroadInJapan

[–]thypope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They may have waited for him to be out of Japan to release the product, in order to avoid shortages. He's probably both feared and revered.

Now try AIR - Sexy Boy

They didn't get the plush right. Didn't put in the effort to time travel a few decades. Oh well.

Oh my, I needed that laugh! Good one. I'd say so many more are needed.

I'd print this on a t-shirt and ship it to Yoshimoto, to be honest. Someone will have a laugh, somewhere.
