I think thwy are called professional assholes

All kinds of business really. You could always go ask them, might make a few friends that way.

Eavesdropping on conversations, a lot of them around here seem to be in the financial businesses, and for some reason corporate real estate.

don't live in milpitas

Fremont I would say. It's safe, clean, and has bart.

I live within the picture you posted OP. What do you want your living situation to be like, and how much are you willing to pay in rent a month?

What went wrong?

>>880602
I am not sure, it seems the top post was messed up with trolling, also some questions seemed like that.

Relating the topic, is anyone around Hokkaido in the next few months?

Do any of you like ??????????

Donetsk. Don't wait, OP. Leave right now.

Virgin master race reporting in. Enjoy your STD's fuckers.

where are you from

>>875158

Australia

>>875159
Have you visited China? China is by no means a bad place to live if you have money, but the quality of life doesn't even come close to Australia.

If you want to work in China you have to bring something to the table a native can't do. So you could try to get work in some large multinational company, or you could teach English. English teacher is usually a low-paid position, but you could use your business skills to build a business out of it maybe. So learning Chinese is definitely a good idea, and perhaps you could do a masters of some kind related to what you already know so you aren't starting at square 1.

As for the general situation you're in... I don't think it's wise to plan your whole future around someone who isn't willing to make any commitment or share their plans with you. It doesn't matter if one of you doesn't want to talk about your future together, it's a conversation you need to have if you're going to be dedicating time and money to re-skilling.

No, they're generally pleasant unless provoked. DO NOT under any circumstances joke with them. Don't ask questions, don't slow them down in any way and just follow all the orders they give you. They have to deal with thousands of people every day, they're really bitter that their job sucks so they abuse their powers to harass you if you piss them off.

If they're being friendly with you, be friendly back. If they are being serious, don't try to lighten the mood. Answer only the questions you are asked and don't add any more info than needed. Try to control your nerves even if you are nervous about flying. This is the way to deal with border guards as well.

>>875963
So basically, treat it like you are getting stopped by local/state cops for for speeding?

Answer the questions, be courteous and it will pass over quickly?

Pretty much. It's not as bad as people make it out to be (At least not in any of the airports I've been in). Just do like the first poster said and you should be fine. Oh, and know exactly what you can/can't take onto planes. It saves LOADS of time.

This is my current itinerary:

1 - Leave home
2 - Home -> Tokyo
3 - Tokyo
4 - Tokyo -> Mt. Fuji (Climb)
5 - Mt. Fuji > Tokyo
6 - Tokyo
7 - Tokyo (Akihabara) -> Nagoya (Korankei + Science Museum)
8 - Nagoya -> Kyoto
9 - Kyoto
10 - Kyoto (Day-trip to Nara)
11 - Kyoto -> Osaka (Castle/Aquarium or Nipponbashi)
12 - Osaka (Day-trip to Koya-san)
13 - Osaka -> Okayama (Kibi plain)
14 - Okayama -> Hiroshima (Peace Memorial Park)
15 - Hiroshima (Day-trip Itsukushima / Miyajima Fireworks Festival)
16 - Hiroshima -> Fukuoka (Canal City / RUins ??)
17 - Fukuoka -> Kagoshima
18 - Kagoshima -> Yakushima
19 - Yakushima
20 - Yakushima -> Kagoshima
21 - Kagoshima -> ???
22 - Filler day (???)
23 - Filler day (Hakone?)
24 - Filler day (Kamikochi?)
25 - Tokyo -> Home

Anybody feels like weighing in what to do with the filler days? Or of course general comments.

Reminder: Being white doesn't guarantee you'll sleep with a Japanese girl. It only guarantees you'll have nignogs trying to sell you sex with a Japanese girl.

spoken like a true beta. But its true. If you're a dork you won't get laid anywhere on planet earth and if you talk to the girl about cultural differences and the way things are back home, and try to do the english teacher thing with a Jap girl, they will identify you as beta and friendzone you.

If you demand that she has beers with you and fucks you, she wont say no. in their culture they arent allowed to disagree with men and if you are dressed okay and dominant they will think you are powerful and have a huge penis and sleep with you.

The funniest part is most gaijin are so unbeleivably beta that its like shooting fish in a barrel if you have any game

Lightning never strikes thrice, right?

Sort of.

Statistically, the odds are still massively in your favor. BUT... if anything, the management has been exposed as pretty incompetent, so I personally wouldn't fly with them.

There's also the possibility (probably still many months away) that the airline will go out of business, so I wouldn't want to be booking too far ahead.

Wait and see, bad luck brought them a bad image, they might get cheaper as a result
Or slightly raise costs to compensate the cost of the two planes lost.

Language rather easy to learn, compared to Japanese and Chinese and their thousands of characters.
Pop culture still quite attractive
Sexier than japan who is often too hard on censorship, and doesn't embarrass so much with formality
China too mainstream and sometimes seen as too "professional'. It's more hip to like Korea or Japan. And the Chinese are severely lacking in pop culture, at least Korea makes some watchable dramas.

It's wrong to view it as a second division Japan. The thing about Korea is that it was isolated for centuries before it was forced to open up to Japan and the west in the 19th century. It was the most hardcore Confucian culture before that time. So one of the other things that's interesting about Korea, compared to Japan, is just how fast it modernized and encountering the ancient and the futuristic alongside each other. It's not significantly poorer than Japan, either, and its economy hasn't been stagnating like Japan's. Where are you even getting these ideas from? Hopefully not from this website.

If you actually knew anything about Korea you wouldn't say that. The food has a pretty broad depth and lots of really delicious and interesting things. The culture is unique, and extremely identifiable. The entire country is like one huge family, and social relations are predicated on the relative ages of people. It's also rapidly become a huge part of the global economy, has a big pop culture influence and doesn't necessarily have the same stigma as Japan.

What is completely lost on you though, is that Korea is MUCH more popular throughout Asia than any western country. Throughout Asia, Korean dramas, movies, and pop songs became extremely popular simply because back in the 90's, it was cheap to buy the licencing. So broadcasters in places like the Philippines picked up Korean shows, and they just really took off.

I'm going to be in Kyoto on the 19th and 20th. I was planning to check out the Fushimi Inari Shrine, the Golden Pavilion, and maybe Katsura Rikyu. However, there's supposed to be thunderstorms on those days.I feel like this completely fucks up my plans. What would be better to do in Kyoto with this weather? If it matters, I'm 22, male, and traveling alone.

Going to Tokyo on a limited budget for two weeks next summer. I'm there as a dumb nerd, culture and food lover and below are all of the attractions I'd like to check out. Gotta pick some off the list, as I'm not gonna be able to save up as much as I had hoped for. Recommendations appreciated. Some of these attractions are free, but they're either super out of the way or I just can't figure out myself if they're worth it (judging from photos/videos).
>Trick art museum
>Tokyo Joypolis
>Oedo Onsen Monogatari
>Comiket (Going as a cosplayer, so it'll cost some)
>Ueno Zoo
>Ghibli Museum
>Toei Animation Gallery
>Namja Town
>J-World
>Hanayashiki amusement park
>DisneySea
>Sanrio Puroland
>Fujiko F. Fujio / Doraemon museum
>Mt. Takao
>Edo-Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum
>National Museum of Nature and Science
As opposed to
>National Museum
>Imperial Gardens tour (Extremely on the fence about this one)

Also if I've missed anything within Tokyo that could easily be replaced with any of these. I'm a bit torn about the national museums since time is limited and this is something that could take up many hours.

Also got around 22 shrines listed down now, and know that I definitely need to pick some off the list.
Some I've got noted down because they're famous for cultural stories or ghost stories, some for their beauty, some for the fact that they're not very well-known so you don't get tourists everywhere. How's a good way to narrow this shit down?

Anyway, just mostly looking for personal experience with any of the above places.

Ill be going to tokyo and landing on the 1st of this coming month. Can someone answer a few things.
>how expensive is the food there
>how much are hostels/where are they located
>will anyone be there that is willing to show me around/trv with me
>notable things to do there.
Will have 7 days there with about 1k budget. Hoping to buy animu/manga/LN or just nice things that I can't find stateside. (so I guess a weeb by most standards.)

Don't mention the war

Good airline. I fly it 1-2 times a month trans-Atlantic.

Where are you flying from and what is your destination?

>>868857
USA to Germany. You?

>>872008
It depends on the airport, actually.
Not every european airport has automated control booth.
And they have automated passport control in Japan too, from what I saw.

>>872008
The best thing about my (Swedish) passport is the lack of stamps in it, since I do the vast majority of my travelling within the EU.

>>872015
>No stamps

That's sad as fuck!

I didn't like Jamaica, but that's only because most of the constant weed smell. It was beautiful if you weren't in the city

Havana, Cuba. It's a shithole.

As you can tell, the scenery was fucking gorgeous, as was the weather. Initially. 25°C or so, upon arrival.

Our flight to Mineralnye Vody almost went wrong though: our initial plane was delayed almost an hour, and with another hour spent waiting at customs before our transfer in Moscow, we very nearly missed our corresponding flight. Miss Irina the check-in lady wasn't really inclined to let us on the plane because we were rather late - and was very rude to boot - but luckily her boss, Yuriy, was a very nice fellow. Thank you very much, Yuriy.

Also, AMA obviously.

Also, the place is full of flowers. Like, really full. The campsite - we were climbing the rather remote north face of the Elbrus, as opposed to the very touristic south face - was located in the valley along the small stream you see here.

This, incidentially, was the best toilet we'd see during the whole week. Just standing there, in the middle of nowhere.
