if your going to kyoto go to nara its only about 50 minutes on the train and in my opinion better than kyoto... although recently in nara there was a terrible crime there its still worth a look.

is your father going to be driving the car? if not its a bad idea.... i cant really see it happening..

the rave / trance scene here in japan is amazing..... theres always some big party every weekend in the mountains on the beaches the past 2 weeks ive seen john digweed, ferry corsten and carl cox.... but usually the smaller private raves are the best.

i cant prove anything... good ole japan...

In tokyo especially with hotels and anything related to accommodation be prepared for extra costs..... you will find with love hotels that you can only enter them from about 10-11pm if you want the `stay` rate and usually there arent any rooms avaliable because they are all full with hourly/ 2 hourly visitors... what you have to do a lot of the time if you want to get a room earlier pay for the first hour or 2 then pay the stay rate..... ive been to quiet a few of them over here and the cheapest we could find was 8000en another one cost us 15000en as we had to pay 2 hours first then the stay rate to be guaranteed a room... I think youll find it is rather expensive compare it to any other city in the world.... oh wait its rated as the most expensive... my first month rent here cost me 3000 AUD for an apartment smaller than my bedroom at home.

you wont get any cheaper than 2500en a night actually i doubt those prices.... capsule hotels are designed for drunk salarymen. if you want cheap your looking at a minimum of around 8000en for the night and those are love hotels.... its a little expensive but thats what tokyo is all about

im with you rezz i have a bad enough time explaining that im different to most other english teachers who just come here to cause trouble and pick up girls

I asked my girlfriend apparently it doesnt mean a great deal.....

it doesnt matter those areas of canada are really beautifully.... make sure to get plenty of photos of lake louise inside and outside the hotel.

give me the money and i will buy it and drive it over here and then bring it back at your cost after ive owned it for 12 months...

the evenings are a little chilly

Thats the real price for drinks here in japan so its rather realistic

i watch a lot of television and have not come across such a show. there are lots of great dramas and stand up comedy shows though.

this thread cracks me up/ pisses me off.

I have to work all day saturday.. after work I somtimes go to a trance club And usually spend time with my girlfriend on sunday

well ive recently moved and couldnt take my huton on the train with me and ive been spending a lot　of time at my girlfriends house recently.

im currently between beds.. I was sleeping on a huton, which I really like but im sleeping in a bed recently. I prefer the huton.

1.) THE SUMMER... IT WAS A KILLER 2.) UNEXPLAINABLE RIDICULOUS FEES FOR CHANGING APARTMENTS.... 3.) EVERYTIME I WANT TO WALK SOMEWHERE THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEONE THERE. 4.) STARING 5.) JAPANESE PEOPLE AND THEIR WALKING... i dont know if anyone else has noticed this but it seems as though no japanese people (that I an aware of) can walk straight... always an angle... and they will bump into you. 7.) the bloody post offices not selling envelopes, but they seel stamps? what use is an stamp without an envelope.. 8.) speaking japanese and you get cut off somtimes in mid sentence. 9.) If you speak Japanese to a person who can speak English they will always talk to you in english....

NISMO Omori factory The Tokyo Shinagawa Ku south Oi 2-10-6 If you want my honest opinion I would not be asking any family members on their holiday to go and buy you some nismo merchandise... it will take them a whole day! from narita the most convenient place would be the one above... you have to transfer at shinagawa station to a train line that seems to have random express and local trains i forget the train line.... but the few times i went out there made me HATE the shinagawa area.

indeed i did justin , youve only just noticed it?

how about some photos of the work places.... could be interesting... Im going to take some photos next time im at work.

I was in saitama tonite and felt a very small quake around 6:30pm They have been happening on and off a fair bit recently in tokyo.. last week i was on the 7th floor at my school and one hit. Maybe someone should post up some info regarding the great kansai prediction... similar but more power than the Kobe earthquake... that is expected to hit sometime soon. and destroy 6 million out of the 6.6million structures in the area.

The night life of Akihabara? .... Watch out for the typhoon.... its starting to hit as we speak here in tokyo.

these plates are hard to read during the night they can really only be read from up close.. They do look cool though

no problems kawasaki is basically/ very close to yokohama.. As for rough kids,... i wouldnt worry. From what ive seen its a nice area. I know yokohama is my second favourite place.
