Are you holding onto something you need to let go of?

I have a coworker from Japan and he says its courtesy to hide your fat with long sleeves and pants if youre fat.

How often is there a Godzilla sighting out there?

Most people wear long sleeves for many reasons like sun, bug bites, etc. i hVe never heard of this, but it wouldnt surprise me if it were true.

How cute are the chicks over there?

Gamara stops him before he causes any touble so we dont hear about it

why do you pirate bemani games when you can just go to the arcade

He also says that if bystanders see something like rape going on, theyll mind their business

Almost everyone is really cute, compared to western countries. It might help that everyone is small, dresses nicely, and wears makeup. I uld say everyone is more adorable.

Where are you from originally?

I don't think I have. I dont think Ive ever seen it either. I dont eat a lot of raw fish.

Are there really as many Pizza Huts as some animes make it seem?

There actually isnt even a pizza hut in my town (i live in hamamatsu). We do have two Dominos though.

Dominos is based on the old gross American recipe, I feel. Pizza Hut tastes exactly the same.

Fair enough, and thank you.

0 because everyone is either 6 or 60 here. There really is an age gap problem.

I never understood the abundance of American fast food chains in other countries. Is it just for tourists and people living/working overseas or do they actually have their own following with the locals? I find it almost hard to believe, but after that KFC article I guess anything is possible lol.

lol that would be awesome if it was true. I mainly wear long sleeves anyway.

Japan isnt what reddit and 4chan would make you think it is. If those things are real, they only exist one one particular spot in Tokyo and are definitely frowned on by people who arent gross weebs and otakus.

do you watch gaki

There are a LOT of Mcdonalds. Trian stations often have one, two, or even three right across from eachother. We also have Starbucks, the mentioned pizza chains, KFC, Lotteria, Dunkin Donuts (mister donut here), Baskin Robins, and some random others. Tokyo has a Taco Bell, a Wendys, and a Carls Jr, but they are just a single store.

Natives really like Mcdonalds. They even have some special items like Teriyaki, Omelette, and other different burgers. I actually think Mcdonalds is better in Japan, it isnt as Greasy and they still have a "dollar" menu.

Dont know what that is. I usually just watch the music channels or Cartoon Network (which is not often, mind you)

I saw that topic

Ever try squid ink ice cream?

Sounds interesting
---

how much are 1st gen ps3s nowadays over there? I want one for my ps ps2 ps3 PlayStation games lol
---

1- squid ink ice cream, never tried it. Rule of thumb, if you hear about a weird thing, it probbaly only exists in the weird part of tokyo.

2- about the same as in America.

Where about in Japan are you living?

And can you speak Japanese?
---

What place serves a good Italian Beef?
---

What is your job?

What is the visa process like for living/working there?
---

- i live in Hamamatsu

- eh im ok, maybe n4 level

- there is a lot of good beef, pretty much anywhere

- im a teacher. The visa process takes months. Do your research because most dispatch companies will rip you off. I work for a very small private owner. I would almost say it isnt worth it unless you find a very trustworthy and small company.
---

Since were talkin beef, ever try kobe beef? And if so, is it any cheaper there?
---

Ive had it, but I think it is still expensive. Beef in general right now seems really pricey.
---

You live in Hamamatsu? I live an hour away from you by car, lol

Oh nice, where are you? We should hang out sometime.
---

Ever tried a capsule hotel?

Also do you go to the vending machine often?
---

I live in Toyohashi. It's biggest claim to fame is that it's a stop on the shinkansen line.

Why did you move to Japan and how long do you plan on staying?
---

- i stayed at a capsule once. It was... ok for the price? Some drunk guy got up in the early morning and started talking to himself thhough.

- i go to the drink vending machines a lot. They have good coffee and other stuff in them, if you need it. There are mostly just drink machines thouh, occasionally ice cream.

- i moved here for various reasons. Mostly because I wanted to try it, but i eventually stayed because i saw how horrible the school systems are for kids (they are good schools, but it becomes very stressful and unhealthy because of insane workload and bullying). I wanted to stick around and help the kids have some fun classes, which isnt much, but I care about my students a lot.
---

I also work at a very laid back school, so the kids say they prefer it, because it isnt difficult and is more relaxing and fun.
---

are you the cool teacher
