Rezz's Japan Forum Q + A Thread

[Sciby]

Since it's a QandA thread, I'll drag it kicking and screaming down into the gutter.

Dear unky Rezz,

Do japanese women really act like they do in the pornos when they have sex? Or is it one of those things, "Only in porn"? I'm referring to the "little girl whine" they do... I find it rather freaky.

On a different note: does Japanese Coke taste different to Australian Coke? (Yes, I'm drinking a coke now).

Oooooh... the whiny voice? Uuuummm, well in my experience it's real. Some girls act like they're getting their pubes pulled out one-by-one (getting close to cencorship now!) and others act like stunned mullets. But the whine is usual I think... so says a 'foreigner' (me)... I think they also act differently with foreigners too, with eeerm... larger... aaaah... y'know... 'thingy'... :)

Coke is the same taste.

[Sciby]

The whine is usual? Gawd... will have to interview potential gf's when I move over (finally)... "Do you whine during sex like you're having your pubes pulled out one by one, or do you make other noises? Whine? Oh, I'm sorry, you're just not what we're looking for in a sexual partner..."

I can't stand that whine... sounds like they're in physical pain rather than enjoying themselves. *ahem*

Rezz, not really a Q and A, and to be honest, I've been away from the jap forum for a while (yay for life and studying and moving house and so on getting in the road), so I don't know if you've done this, but I have a photo log challenge for you.

I dunno if you eat much junkfood, but I'd be really interested to see photos of junk/fast food resturant menus... I'm guessing a lot would be fairly pictorial. Really curious to see how Japanese mangle intl fastfoods.

Sciby,

Have a look at Yongfook. He does nothing but review Japanese snacks, and is a pretty funny writer.

Well worth a look.

Thanks IG... but alas, I've already read Yongfook's page... often had me crying at my desk, trying not to choke laughing... your'e dead right - very funny writer... and he's a skyline owner!

[Rezz]

You want photos Scott? No probs man I'll take some today.

[Rezz]

That might be pretty close to the truth due to the... aah... larger *cough* dimensions they aaaah... have to *cough*... 'accomodate'...

[Sciby]

lol... best description ever.

The whole japanese wang thing is rather weird. It's terrifying how small they are, even on the so-called porn stars... makes me feel like a Super Power son of rajab of Sexz0r Lurve!

Or just like a western porn star.

Re, photos, you're a legend. It's bizarre... I've been so busy with studying and new changes in life (I'm now a network admin for a university res college, living on campus, etc), that I really haven't looked at anything japanese lately... I feel the urges for engrish, weird food and small asian women growing back.

re: coke - I guarantee if you did a taste test you would definitely realise the difference.

coke, as per nearly all japanese soft drinks, is far less carbonated than the western equivalent. That, I know for a fact, but I also believe (opinion) the sugar content is lower.

it was one of the very first 'cultural differences' I noticed upon arrival - and I always notice it upon return. The same thing with chocolate - though I must say, and this goes for coke too, I now much prefer the japanese version.

[Sciby]

Hmm... personally I prefer fizzy drinks... get that whole "Ow, it hurts, but I like it!" thing happening.

Hmm... questions, questions... can you get good mexican food over there? Is it jap-mexican hybrid food (ala, corn and mayo pizza), or is it decent food? How good is the vendor machine food? As you can tell, I haven't had lunch yet.

Speaking of lunch, is it difficult to date japanese females when you're gaijin? I'm guessing there'd be a lot of 'coolness' in it for her, dating gaijin, etc...

I'd believe that. The Japanese palette is a lot more sensitive to sugar that what we are used to. I discovered this when I brought back some normal dark chocolate with me as omiage. My colleagues loved it . . . . . why? . . . . dark chocolate isn't as sweet as the usual foreign chocolate that they're used to getting when people go to places like Hawaii (eg Macadamia Nut Chocolate)

I prefer the word TODGER

Q. What on earth is Pocari Sweat? And are there any variants of it? ie Pocari Sweat Lite, Pocari Sweat and Cola?

[DaiOni]

I actually get what I think are 'sugar cravings' - and I think this is because my body has been so used to the sugar content in my western diet, that it can't handle the level in japanese foods. This started almost immediately after arriving in japan - and nearly three years later, I still get 'attacks' probably every week (easily solved by a choc or soft drink hit). I even went as far as getting a diabetes check - but that wasn't it (so I assume it's a dietry thing).

anyone else get that?

shan: pocari is an 'ammino drink' that is a variant on the typical 'sports drink' formula. I think they made it the consistency of sweat so the body absorbs it better (just guessing).

There was a bizarre version released recently that had an even stranger name, it was 'pocari steve' or something like that - didn't try it though

I've never acquired a taste for it - but I drink aquarius (the version made by coke) every single day - love the stuff (will miss it like crazy when I leave)

[Sciby]

Pocari Steve eh? Mental image of some poor gaijin on a treadmill, being forced to sweat profusely.

I do get sugar cravings... but I also get hypoglycaemia - get the shakes, dizziness, nausea if I don't have enough sugar in me... apparently I'm right down the other end of the scale of diabetes, producing too much insulin... weird, but there it is. Consequently, I don't have huge sugar highs when I hit the lollies/coke. I just... wake up.

[DaiOni]

here we go:

???

BTW, if you're in japan and you've been on a bender, this is my recommendation for a hangover cure:

1. one bottle of aquarius: 500ml - 1L depending on the amount of damage you've done

2. one bottle of this:

3. one bottle of a similar product - it comes in a similar size bottle (small - about 125ml or something), but has a big 'D' on it (white label)

My friends laughed at me when I made them try this combo - but they were converted

[Sciby]

Hmmmm... strange hangover cures from bottles with kanji labels... *worry*

How Pokari Sweat got it's name is here:

The vitamin drink with a 'D' on the bottle is Ripobitan D. Incidentally, those vitamin drinks are absolutely LOADED with Caffine. Likewise with the O.T.C cold and flu medicine that you buy at the drugstores.

Occasionally I get sugar cravings here, but usually I just fix that with a sweet canned coffee. ZIIIIIING! Steer clear of that bloody Georgia Max stuff in the yellow can though. Urgh!

[Rezz]

Coke is the same *taste* though.... I thought that was the question?

[Rezz]

^^^ Haha IG I haven't come across a canned coffee I like... Coffee Boss (silver can) is drinkable... just.

It's not canned coffee... but who likes 'Mt Rainier'? That stuff is the best!!!
