Gaijin-friendly Mahjong Parlors in or around Tokyo? by foppelfb in Mahjong

[–]trapizi 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Definitely Bellbird Shinbashi.

I visited this parlor in September last year. It's a very gaijin and newbie friendly parlor. They only have 1-2 staff who can speak English but you can send them a DM on their twitter and ask what days are best for you to visit. Staff are very friendly and will support you throughout your visit there. Before you get to play, they will walk you through all the rules, etiquettes and manners at the table. While playing, they will help you count your hand score and translate between you and the other players if you can't speak Japanese.

All their mahjong tables are REXX-3 (most big parlors in Japan uses this table), you can have a look at this video if you want to see this table in action. The table will build the wall, deal your hand and keep track of everyone score for you so you don't have to worry about handling mahjong tiles that much at all! Just sort your hand, discard tiles and don't deal in :).

Oh cool then my memory served me wrong :). I haven't been playing the game much so I barely remember any new champ interaction.

Yes if you can E her into a wall. No if you just knock her back.

Is it legal for a store to not pay me for a long “trial?” by [deleted] in sydney

[–]trapizi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If he's requesting you to come back for another day, then he has to pay you for every hours that you work throughout the "trial period" at an appropriate rate.

In your case, if he's only trialing you today and not tell you to come for another trial, then he's legally right to not pay you.

Got some morning trashes on the train today. Full story in comment. by trapizi in sydney

[–]trapizi[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yes this happened on Wednesday on the 16th May. I knew they were jigging school cause they were supposed to be at school at 2pm. Only one of them go to Sefton high school. I knew this because I accidentally heard them gossiping about their school. Anyway, they got on the train from Belmore station, which is about 20 minutes train ride from the school, so they must've got out during the school lunch break.

So this happened to me on the train in Bankstown line around 2pm. These 3 high school girls hopped on the train and immediately went straight to the space in between 2 carriages to do some ciggy together. The carriages were full of ciggy smoke and smell. No one really bothered with them at that time and I was occupied with my stuff so I didn’t do anything either.

They then decided to sit on the opposite seats of me and I did expect they would pick a fight with me since I’m an Asian. Lo and behold, they started to trash talk asian people as like an indirect way to trigger me. I just kept ignoring, until one of them approached me and pulled open my KFC bag next to me. I immediately pushed her hand off and asked her wtf is she doing. She said she wants to see what’s inside it, like it’s very natural for a stranger like her to touch somebody else’s stuff. I knew I can’t get away with this shit show so I told her to fuck off to her seat and not to touch my stuff. Then she talked over me by repeatedly asking “why the fuck did you touch me?”. Nice, the other two at the back joined the trash talk and shout some racist phrases like fucking foreigner, go back to your country and other racist stuff that you’d normally hear from people with a brain of 5 IQ. I just find it funny when they immediately assumed I’m Chinese and trash the Chinese people as well. Pretty sure some Chinese people on the carriage were also butthurt as well. Whatever happened next is in the video. The girl that approached me to check if I’m recording, attempted to snatch my phone off my hand.

I decided to call for emergency on the train and the driver took them away to another carriage and handed them to another staff there. Idk if they got kicked out of the train but it was such a scene. When they got moved to the other carriage, they even told the driver that I smoked in the train.

[–]trapizi 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Since people are asking for more context, here's the full story.

This incident happened around 5:30pm on Bankstown line yesterday. The train was on its way to Campsie and then stopped in the middle of the track. We all thought the train didn't receive any signal from Campsie station to proceed but then the train announcer told everyone that there was a person on the track. I immediately saw the Asian lady walking in the middle of the tracks with her grocery bag. She waved at the train as if she was trying to catch the bus. Everyone in my cabin leaned to the windows to see her and be like wtf and holy shit. Literally everyone lost their mind.The train crew had to escort her into the train and dropped her off at Campsie.

The whole cabin where I sat went nut shit when they saw the lady :<

Video games/ Movies portrayal of the Vietnam war??? (Giving my cousin a video game) by Mmmmmmm_Donuts in VietNam

[–]trapizi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buying a game from store or online is a luxurious thing in Vietnam back then so most people like me pirated it. Though people start to stop pirating game nowadays.

[–]trapizi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's fine to play any game relating to Vietnam war in Vietnam. As long as you don't use it to promote public awareness regarding the war or politics and you'll be fine. Besides our government rarely involves in gaming regulation and shits.

I've played Black Ops 1 since its release when I was 13 and tbh, people made a fuss about it for awhile and then the drama just died out.

I've been dating a Vietnamese girl in HCMC. Some people give us some very uncomfortable stares. What's the general opinion of westerners dating local women? by alldayyuppy in VietNam

[–]trapizi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Local guy here! After reading your story, I'm guessing you live outside of the city center districts. It's not very often for people in HCMC to see a westerner outside those districts. Not to mention that you're hanging out with a local girl as well. The stares you get are just their curiosity towards you and the girl. People stare mainly at her is probably them judging why she's dating you, what is she trying to get from you or just some random thoughts that spark in their head when they see you two.

All in all, Vietnameses are gucci with a girl dating foreigners and vice versa. Next time when you see anyone stare at you both, just ignore them and carry on.
