The reason is because there's often extras after the credits.

Yes. Although a movie like The Post doesn't have postcreds, yet people sat for that one anyway, but LimburgLimbo made me understand why it is that way. I've thought more about it, and another reason watching all the credits seems wrong to me is that in local (Norwegian) cinemas, the staff wants the audience to clear out. They wait at the doors with cleaning tools, and occasionally they'll glare at people who don't leave. It'd actually be rude to make the staff wait by staying through the whole credits. There's an unspoken rule of it being okay on Marvel movies where there's often a postcredits scene though. I tend to ask one of the staff if there's a postcreds scene, both so I don't make them wait and so I don't sit there for nothing. Though there's been one time where I learned after the fact that they lied just to get us to leave. Then again, making the staff wait isn't a Japan issue since trash cleaning isn't a problem. Your cinemas were as clean as everywhere else. I've only been home for a day, and I already miss both the cleanliness and the general courtesy to other people. Even my train ride home from the airport was depressing. A train car of 8 people was noisier than a Tokyo subway car with all the seats taken. Oh, and I miss warm toilet seats. It's back to freezing my butt off. Attack on Princess fucked around with this message at 10:31 on Apr 30, 2018 |

Yeah, warm toilet seats should be everywhere, and I hope it's only a question of time before it happens.

In summer you sit through the credits so you can enjoy an extra five minutes of airco.

If I'm watching a movie alone I always sit through the credits (unless I have to rush out to catch the bus home or something). I like to think Joe Lightrigger would appreciate it when I read his name  I'm Norwegian as well and I've never experienced the staff actively wanting me to leave.

I sit through the credits, because I'd want people to see my worthless name in a list of thousands if I was part of a movie production. Somebody crashed a Mario Kart into the fish and chips place where LimburgLimbo poured ketchup all over my shirt:  god bless

Going to Japan in a few days, but we are trying to work out if we can fit a night at an onsen in instead of staying in Osaka. Does anyone have any recommendations where you can reserve a private bath for the kiso Valley area? Worried it will be a bit touristy there. Near kobe or okayama would also work but I've struggled to fund places which are not >£300 a night or booked out at this short notice.

There have been plenty of accidents involving the karts and gaijins in the past, anything special about this one? How does the incidence of gaijin kart accidents in Tokyo compare to that of gaijin car accidents in Tokyo? The karts don't really bother me, I see them basically everyday. Then again I don't drive

Hating on the go-carts is just another example of foreigners in Japan being annoying crybabies that have to complain about everything because they don't like to see other people have fun. Another example is all the hate for the Hub

If so you'll be going through the Uno port which is about an hour out from Okayama city, but if you have to go through Okayama City anyway, Korakuen is nice. I like the Bizen coastal area east of Uno but I don't know how practical it is without a car. Yubara onsen is a beautiful area, but it's two hours out of town in the opposite direction, so possibly not practical for you. Comedy option: take the other ferry from Naoshima, come to Takamatsu and eat udon.

I did the gokarts while I was there and to be honest we had more problems with taxi drivers intentionally trying to split the group up than we did with people in the group not obeying the rules or driving like idiots. Maybe I just got lucky and had a good group

Gaijin gokarts might be safer than gaijin cars since there's nothing in the kart that changes from righthand- to lefthand-side driving (or so I assume). It's just the traffic rules you'd have to mirror in your head.

It's just the traffic rules you'd have to mirror in your head. Assumption is wrong - Driving on the left hand side of the road while you are seated on the right side of the car actually helps significantly, because it reinforces the feeling that "you are not on the same side of the road." People actually make mistakes when they feel comfortable without having practiced. Ask anyone who's driven on both sides of the road, and they will tell you that actually learning to drive on the other side of the road is very easy.

Thought about doing a maid cafe then read up that the area is littered with questionable anime posters and the vibe is kind of creepy and it’s like yeah no. So no hauling an anime body pillow and going to a cafe with moe waitresses asking when I’ll be back home.

There is no doubt that these maricar companies are counting down to the day that they wipe out a pedestrian, or get wiped out by a truck because they are invisible to trucks. Wow, how can you oppose having some fun in Shibuya, the transit hub where millions of people have to commute and do business every day? It's the heart of a city, not a theme park. This poo poo is going to correct, probably after some people get hurt. I'm just a bitter gaijin though.

When I went to England with my family a couple decades ago, my dad nearly got us in an accident when he exited into the wrong lane after a roundabout. And to this day he complains about slamming his hand into the drivers side door when going for the stick on the wrong side. sale on Banksy art posted:There is no doubt that these maricar companies are counting down to the day that they wipe out a pedestrian, or get wiped out by a truck because they are invisible to trucks. I have no idea how they get away with loving around on the big boy streets. Touring Akihabara I could understand, but we spotted them in Ginza too. You could say they stuck out a little between the fancy rear end stores and high end cars. Attack on Princess fucked around with this message at 22:29 on May 2, 2018 |

I've rented cars in Tokyo and have driven around the city a couple of times and yeah gently caress Maricar. Tokyo may be easier than driving in, say SF or NY or Beijing or Taipei, but it's still a crowded city.
