Ahh, such is life in Nippon though
Anyway, how's Christmas been so far for you, /r9k/?
Is your dad mad at you because you aren't a doctor yet?
>>25223817
you know, you could pull yourself together, anon.
that would make everybody's life better around you immediately.
>>25223855
I think he's mad because iPad my life really going for me and then I dropped out of Academy and moved back in with them
>>25223874
Ahhhh, this lifestyle is so much better though
Outbursts like this rarely happen as my dad is usually at work and only home when I start going to bed
>>25223817
Shit man, sounds rough.
>>25223918
*because I had my
Weird auto correct
Tell him you're putting him in a nursing home asap and never visiting. Sounds like a cunt.
>>25223918
>Ahhhh, this lifestyle is so much better though
I can tell you're a pretentious faggot, quit lying to yourself.
>>25223817
But what is Min short for?
>>25223922
Mhm, like I said though, this usually doesn't happen
>>25223943
That would be disrespectful, Anon
Where I live, being respectful is of the highest importance
>>25223958
But it is, relying on my parents for everything and not having to work is so much better than living an independent life
>>25223996
My morher's name is Min-hao or Min-ho in different spellings, min is the shorter version my father uses
>>25223817
What was the toolbox? Was it empty or did it include tools?
It's good to have tools. Even if you're not into much DIY stuff you should still find the basics to be useful once in a while.
It's not Christmas here
But anyway, YOU LIVE IN JAPAN????
What's it like?
How do you feel about foreigners?
What's the food like?
How's the weather?
How are the girls? On a scale of 1-10?
Is anime like regular cartoons for you guys?
>>25224070
Fucking weebs, go back to /jp/
>>25223817
japs have Christmas too? Why?
>>25223817
Have you tried looking for a job?
If they gave you tools then you should try becoming a mechanic's apprentice.
What do you guys want for Christmas?
>>25224161
/jp/ hates japan though
>>25224070
https://youtu.be/d2FGgYp6mdk
What's the point in making a thread OP if you're just gonna bail on us.fag
>>25224052
It contained a few screwdrivers, a drill, a few bits, and many, Many bolts
>>25224070
Yes
Okay I guess?
They're okay, I don't mind them
Normal?? I don't know what food is like in other regions
Usually warm but in the winter it is cold, very cold
Depends. Some are 2's, some are 8's
No, we have "regular" cartoons and we have anime
>>25224184
It's not considered an official holiday but many of us do celebrate it
Here there are three days however, the 23rd is the day we celebrate the most, the 24th is meant for couples to celebrate and is more of a romantic day than a holiday, and the 25th is usually when families celebrate together
>>25224200
I enjoy the NEET lifestyle though, it is much more relaxing
As I said above, it was barely tools.
>>25224364
I'm here, just slow, sorry
>>25224271
Everyone hates japan.
>>25224271
I thought that was the board for weeb faggots?
I think we need to nuke Japan again, wipe that country off the map.
>>25224461
Many people here argue the opposite, in which we should nuke the Americas.
I don't participate in these discussions however, they are dumb, Japan is great and all but from what I've seen America seems like a wonderful place and I'd like to live there
>>25224034
your mom korean? because thats a korean name.
>>25224506
>America seems like a wonderful place
Boy you're in for a surprise, OP
>>25223817
>>I don't even use tools
You're going to be glad she did one day.
You always think "why do I even have this shit" until the day comes where you actually need a tool and become frustrated that now you have to go out just to buy tools.
>>25224413
>It contained a few screwdrivers, a drill, a few bits, and many, Many bolts
Cool. Anything actually made in Japan? There are a lot of good Japanese Tools. I sure would love to have a Trusco cantilever box and some Koken Z-EAL sockets.
>>25224413
>Here there are three days however, the 23rd is the day we celebrate the most, the 24th is meant for couples to celebrate and is more of a romantic day than a holiday, and the 25th is usually when families celebrate together
well I did not know that.
Here in UK it's:
All of december: Lights in streets, shops going crazy, christmas markets
24/25 Christmas starting, 25th being main day
26 boxing day, do nothing either.
Up to 12 days from the 25th can be celebrated if you are that hardcore (I am. No work nuffin except vidyagames and movies for the next 12 days.)
My christmas so far consists of helping decorate family home, putting up Christmas tree, and eating more food than usual.
And I stopped working the last week.
>>25224070
weebs make me sick
Christmas isn't until tomorrow non-american fag
>>25224523
His mom was a comfort woman :^)
So are you a half breed? If so, I feel you bro
>>25224523
Yes, both my parents are Korean.
My great grandmother was the first one to come to Japan however, so my mother was born in Japan. Same as my father, I believe his family's been in Japan much longer though.
>>25224535
???
>>25224546
Has this happened to you before?
I mean I understand you as this has happened in my past, never with tools though
>>25224555
All were made in China, except the drill
It looks like pic related
>>25224566
Wow, guess you learn something new every day haha
That's pretty neat, the U.K. Seems like a fun place
do you watch osomatsu-san? that is a great anime imo
>>25224668
Whoops forgot the picture
Original the comment
>>25224601
Oh sorry
>>25224654
No, I'm fully Korean
>>25224698
I don't actually watch anime much, in fact I believe the last anime I really watched was DBZ Kai
>>25224743
>living in Japan
>not watching anime
How could one person fuck up so badly
>>25224668
is your family related to the guy who wrote 'aquariums of pyongyang' ?
>>25224699
That looks a pretty serious drill. Maybe your mother wants you to take up construction work.
>>25224743
Out of curiosity, why are are you posting on /r9k/ as opposed to a Japanese or Korean language forum?
Also what's so special about the coke from America? Is the recipe different in Japan or something?
>>25224743
>full gook
You have my condolences,
ir youre a korean born and raised in japan, why are you on r9k? why not 2ch?
>>25224803
Isn't anime more for kids..?
>>25224811
No??
>>25224823
Hmm, I didn't think about it like that, maybe it was a subtle message she was trying to get across
>>25224825
I was always intrigued by the English language and luckily it was a class in intermediate school
Also simply because 2chan is ridiculously overused and Futaba chan is very slow
It also helps me learn more about other regions
Nothing is special about the Coke, it's just cool to get items from different regions
>>25224856
??
>>25224970
As I said 2chan is very overused, if someone doesn't use it here they're honestly looked at as the weird one
And as I said, Futaba Chan is much too slow for me
>>25224977
What are the cartoons you were watching? I'm pretty sure there's more anime aimed at teens and young adults than cartoons.
>>25224977
because his family came from korea too. 100 years ago. used to be rich and influential until they decided to donate all their stuff to north korea and move to pyongyang. thought maybe they was you.
>>25225026
>if someone doesn't use it here they're honestly looked at as the weird one
that's amazing
are you zanichi japanese or whatever? the ones who get looked down on?
Based gook dad
I wish my family hated me. I mean, I deserves it but regardless of that I just wanna be left alone. I wish I didnt have to deal with this christmas bullshit. Birthdays are even worse.
Just remember, it's all relative. Some may get sad cause their family hated them, while some other hate getting so much family love.
>>25225111
I was watching The Amazing World Of-...o-okay, so maybe I do watch kid shows...
>>25225126
Weird. Why would they do that anyway? North Korea seems like hell
>>25225234
No, most foreigners when born in Japan are treated as regular Japanese people
>>25225262
From what I've seen on this board, my life is pretty similar to yours
Just a NEET trying to get by in life
>>25225303
Why? I mean why would you want to avoid these holidays and your family?
>>25225387
>The Amazing World Of gumball
Holy shit, they air that in gookland?
>>25225387
you should try osomatsu san, its pretty funny and the main characters are all NEETs living with their parents.
>>25225387
>why would you want to avoid these holidays and your family?
I just wanna be alone, man. I dont like beign with my family. I dont like most people, either. I dont even understand family love. Loving people just because you're related seems retarded to me, I dont love any of them and I wish they didnt love me.
>>25225387
Not really similar it my life, I'm the wage slave type of robot that doesn't even make enough money for a woman to want as a beta provider
Plus my home life is generally like the movie "what's eating gilbert grape" except with an elderly grandmother instead of a morbidly obese mother
>>25225407
Mhm, like I said we have many cartoons taken from other regions/based on the art style of other region's cartoons
It's not all anime like most people think
>>25225426
What channel/site does this air on?
>>25225463
Oh I understand you, I enjoy being alone more as well
I used to share a room with my brother and he was really the reason I moved out
Family can be so annoying at times
>>25225478
Oh my, I'm sorry you have to live like that, Anon
Have you ever thought about joining the NEET side? Or do you need to work to provide for your grandmother?
I like how OP asked how was everyone's Christmas and you fags turned this into an AMA
>>25225550
Probably because Christmas hasn't happened yet.
>>25225529
Need to work to support my grandmother, mother, little brother, and my unclr
All my grandmother's retirement goes to her credit card debt and my mother and uncle don't work steady jobs and they all live there
Where in Japan do you live, OP?
>>25225550
Because for most here Christmas hasn't happened. Wait till tomorrow and ask again.
Hey op what's like the weirdest thing you ever saw in gookland?
>>25225529
its on lots of sites, just google 'osomatsu san episode 1' for example
>>25224034
It's great, but things will work out eventually.
>>25225584
Mm, I'm very sorry so much pressure is put on you, Anon
I do respect you for taking care of your elders though

Now I don't know what I'm going to even eat. I had something going on and no it's nothing.
Fuck christmas
>>25225981
It's a cafe where the waitresses are themed to look and act like maids
it's really fun, you can get your face portrayed in the coffee and even take a photo with one of the waitresses
>>25226034
Anon...I-it was just ravioli...
>>25224413
>anime isn't even normal in Japan
holy shit
>>25223817
Do you not have coke in Japan?

Do you hate the Portuguese for Historical reasons?
How big is your penis koreanon?

Aww sweet the glass bottles, those are the best
Wish I had some right now

Just a heads up OP, sooner of later this comfy existence is going to end. Your parents wont support you forever. I used to a be NEET fuck as well and God do I miss it, but you cant fight change.

This time of year doesn't really do it for me anymore. It's more of a hassle than anything. I show up because I have to and then leave once it's socially acceptable.

How is your english so good? A lot of people from japan still make a lot of mistakes with english even if they experience the language much.
>>25223817
You should use those tools to build yourself a cuckshed you red button nip monkey
>>25223943
He he he and just like all your situational comedies the dad will go "doh I'm SCARED I take it back please D:"

are all japanese girls hot or loli like i imagine
>>25223817
Were you raised in Japan? I'm really curious about how school is like over there, regarding difficulty, amount of schoolwork, social relationships (lol), etc.
School where I live is absolute shit and everyone says school in Japan is absolute hell.
>>25224034
>Where I live, being respectful is of the highest importance
I really hate my mom and as soon as she retires my spite will come out
I plan on respectfully having my mother declared incompetent and put in a nursing home where she will respectfully wait to die.
also if you don't know how to use tools or fix things you have failed as a man. I asked for tools for christmas
>hands me a toolbox
>Ahh, such is life in Nippon though
I can't imagine people doing manual labour in Japan, though I suppose it must exist.
Is it normal to wish a family member would go to hell? My eldest sister really tore a hole in our family with some bullshit she pulled a few months ago, basically caused my parents to split. Sister is manipulative, mean, and treats both parents like shit when both sacrifice and do so much for her. And now family Christmas is not the same and feels painfully awkward because of her. To top it off, she doesn't even have the audacity to make an attempt to show up to have dinner with us on Christmas. How can a family member be such a self-centered raging cunt?
>>25223817
This is my first year going completely without anything for Christmas.
I mean I stopped getting gifts and going to the family Christmas dinner years ago, but since I had no money of my own I'd always get a chunk of cash from close family.
But now I can support myself and have bought or pre-purchased everything I could want for the next 6 months, and I've never felt emptier inside.
On the bright side, I can leech off my little brothers happiness and play with or watch him on whatever new vidya he gets.
Why is it that we so rarely get threads like this?
I mean really, there's got to be anons from all over the world here yet you barely get AMA threads like this where you get to learn a bit more about that country
>>25230258
No flags so it's easier to make up shit
>>25230258
I don't really think OP meant for this to be an AMA thread, he was just nice enough to answer the questions
>>25230304
Oh yea
This OP seemed pretty truthful though, I think...I-I really don't know that much about Japan so I can't really say
>>25230344
We can only hope, anon, We can only hope
>>25230344
OP probably isn't lying, but if AMA country threads became common, shitposters would jump on the wagon and do what they do best.
I mean, people can post whatever they want, but this is /r9k/.
