  1. I see where you are getting at. Although its "cultural" people are just doing it because they want to. But there are "cultural" thangs we want to get a free pass for. I eat Udon maybe 4 times a week and I have mastered hovering them up.
  2. Well hot Udon is at its best when really hot, so when you inhale quickly you are effectivly blowing to cool your food(its considered childish in japan to blow food) it shows appreciation to the chef to slurp because you want to eat them when they are at their best.
  3. 1. Your full name: Vomit covered, Yellow Snow. 2. How would you describe yourself as a person? I am more of a Dinosaur than a person. With small forearms and large legs. 3. Your nationality/cultural heritage: I am a nihilist I reject heritage. Yellow Snows got a new job, Working on the docks Making lots of money Sucking lots of snow. 7. Do you have any medical/mental/ physical difficulties that we should know about so we can support you? Timmy! 8. Do you smoke? Tobacco? 9. Do you mind animals? (I have a pet ferret that lives outside in a cage b
  4. I would take a punch to the face rather than live with a clean freak/bitch again. At least I knew where I stood with the Irish guys and they had your back if something went wrong. Straying off topic, but I have never had a Japanese friend that I felt full sure he would have my back. Vietnamese, Chinese friends/flatmates even if we had fallen out, would still jump in a fight or something.
  5. For me everything on the list doesn't apply when it is applied to Japanese people. Everybody here has experienced some old Japanese guy who doesn't wash himself before getting into the onsen. But as soon as a gaijin breaks the rules then 10 people will stand up and tell you, "you are wrong" "dame" big crossed arms etc. Top 10 (1)Tell this to the company I work for, nobody has ever seen a bonus. (2)Tell this to the people who will say you use chopsticks wrong. Or ask you what size your dick is. (3)Seiza is becoming less popular since everybody is moving into fully western flats.
  6. Yep to all those and more, there are lots of applications and people making free games for psp. You can even use it as as a webserver and somebody got windows running on one.
  7. I don't like to give to much away. But I went to college in a very rough part of Scotland... Near Glenshee shitty ski slope but better than Hodaigi. Don't know how long he went down for. It wasn't a flat so much as it was Halls of Residence. It looked like a borstal. The were a few fires(one of which I put out) wild parties etc. Because I was sharing with the roughest crowd of Irish guys we never had problems with other people ... though one of my flatmates did punch me in the face. When I moved out of there and lived with a right bitch there was a pub under my flat. Loads of bar fi
  8. The biggest selling point of a PSP is that hey have been hacked so much. I love my PSP that had original firmware 1.0 now I have a customized 3.
  9. I have too many stories from Uni. Knew a guy who was stabbed to death because some guy flipped over somebody eating his slice of bread. My flat mates had been arrested, had to be put under my charge.. One was a bastard and I wish I had sent him to jail myself. People having sex in the ally under my window every Friday night. ...

  11. Board I was was also going to agree with Indo, "If I broke it they wouldn't uphold their side of the agreement" If you are the person to break the contract then they have no obligation to uphold the dissolved agreement. Some people are always "victims". Anytime something gets sketchy I always move. Especially if its dept collectors doing the stalking.
  12. Do you want to join our texas holdem table daver. Haha
  13. My job interviews (one at a police headquarters in Japan) have been less intrusive than that. Since I was 17 I have shared flats this is the first year I have lived alone. And to be honest it is well worth the extra money. Up until last year I would say that I wouldn't share with girls again, but it has changed to both sexes. Some really weird guy moved into my last flat and I just walked out after 3 weeks.
  14. Have any of you had a "Rubix Magic"? They were also pretty cool.
  15. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speedcubing Read this. You can find information on methods. But sometimes the methods are harder than trial and error. I am not great at solving them but I can do it. The game I excel at is "Risk". And it has even affected my family. My mother got remarried to some prick I never liked. She started to not like him, he had a bit of a temper but he would never show it in public. Street angel house devil type. He even would walk around with a bible in his hand. Well I came back from college and told him I liked the game risk--- Who doesn't and Who
  16. Yes, there are actually methods you can find on the Internet to make it faster.
  17. Except for my gloves and Jacket everything I have is 2006/7 and I will probably sell my boots, bindings to buy new ones next year. I want some lighter boots and bindings. He should buy new skis, find out what kind of riding he likes and buy appropriate equipment. It makes a hell of a difference. I don't think anybody will argue in favor or 15yo straight planks of wood/fiberglass.
  18. Spook the other 'jima's' are cool enough very quite but a little rocky, there are boat trips out to them and are pretty cheap, most people go there for sight seeing. But Miyakejima is/was unpopulated because it is an active volcano. I havnt been on there yet because that boat trip is significantly longer and I don't think you are allowed to stay on the island for long. There is only one boat every week or so, so it might be a good camping trip. If it goes Mount St Helens you are dead
  19. I have seen a few in the shops, except they are the type the with 2 runners on the underside. I was looking to buy the type you are on Oyuki. One thing is holding me back though... I cant use a skateboard.
  20. gamera you are right... I am glad because I am not a fan of abba.
  21. I would love to go to Miyakejima during golden week or later, I wonder would anybody be keen.
  22. My Japanese company has a contract there. But I just got offered a new job so I will miss the guam trip, I will probably go there irrespective at the end of the summer.
  23. I dont know why but pear drops always make me cough a little. I cant control it.
