Today I rode a long-distance train and the rice fields are filled with water and short new rice plants and everything is so beautiful :3

I legit don't get it. Akihabara's not that interesting nor does the entire street change radically every week. there's literally a walkthrough of basically every single station in Japan where some guy just goes all around the escalators and just kind of shows what it looks like for posterity I guess or something

I kind of want to do a Walk the Yamanote day next time I’m in Tokyo. Seems like a pretty fun way to see neighborhoods I typically wouldn’t walk through.

Long walks are good. I've done plenty across big cities and it was always a good use of a day.

I'm from a small town so I could be describing something normal for big city folk, but whenever I'm in Tokyo I just walk everywhere cause its just so cool to see the different architecture and how the "mood" of the city changes as you walk around.

my wife's company information told her "if you don't have the ticket for the first shot, just bring it for the second" lol I think that's absolutely the right approach for company vaccination drives FWIW, the goal should be getting shots in arms and let the paperwork get sorted out later.

harperdc posted:my wife's company information told her "if you don't have the ticket for the first shot, just bring it for the second" lol I believe all workplace vaccination works that way. I'm getting my first shot tomorrow (on the very first day of the program - thanks, company!), and they told us to bring our ticket whenever we eventually get it. It seems like that program's managed well, which is surprising in face of everything else the government's doing.

Even citizens still have to quarantine on return to Japan. They are proposing that other countries let vaccinated Japanese in freely. That’s it. That’s the proposal.

I'm in Japan but a (vaccinated American) friend of mine is bummed he can't join his wife and toddler for their trip home to Japan later this year.

Ive got the COE for my work visa en route to me. My flight is in four weeks so I should be safe to get in as long as the inexorable spread of Delta Covid worldwide and the plague Olympics don't make the country completely shut down.

I mean, it's currently under a state of emergency anyway, so I don't think things will get any stricter from a legal standpoint? also if you've been vaccinated already, make sure you have all your paperwork, just in case the government starts tracking that or accepts it for vaccine passport for travel purposes.
