Never happens to me because I only use the most respectful keigo when ordering an extra bowl of edamame.

Tiny snort at the memory of a guy I knew who asked for "mo oppai kudasai" when trying to get a refill at a bar. Sadly they just gave him another beer.

VoiceTra is the translation app the government suggests. It will do the translate it back to English part for you and we had zero trouble using it in February.

In Korea I once asked a woman at the market for jamji instead of chamchi. Chamchi is tuna. Jamji is pussy (though probably closer to the ol' big C)

How long do concerts in Japan typically last? We have tickets for a show staring at 6pm (god I hope Japan is stricter on "start times" than the UK) and want to be sure we can catch our last train back, leaving the venue no later than 9pm ideally. It's a "one man live" gig so not like a big long festival kind of thing.

Yeah, that should be enough. A one-man thing like that I can’t imagine going more than two hours. It should be starting close to on time.

Awesome, thanks for the reassurance! We're heading all the way to Shizuoka from Osaka to see it so it would be a shame to have to leave early.

I'd say the quality at Japan conveyer belt sushi is about as good or better than an average sushi place in the US. But average sushi places in the US are garbage.

One of our favorite sushi places is a conveyor joint, but it's a hole in the wall and not part of a chain.

I took my mom to Okinawa earlier this year, and our first night we stopped by Hamazushi. She loved it so much she insisted we go back there instead of an actual sit down sushi place elsewhere later that trip. Well mama gets what she wants, so we did the place twice haha. I will say though, it was ridiculously cheap. We both got super stuffed on like $10-$12 each. Though I guess the exchange rate probably played a part in that.

There's a conveyer belt sushi place here. I'd say it's half as good as cheap conveyer sushi in Japan but 2-3x the price. The "real" sushi places here are basically one step above the cheapest conveyer sushi in Japan for 3-5x the price. Real bummer

When I was in Japan in 2008 I craved fish and chips desperately, and at one pointed ended up in a British themed pub in Akihabara eating tiny sad overpriced fish and chips but by god at least it was fish and chips. Doubt that place still exists now but who knows?

I didn’t realize I did a rough fish and chips just now with pickled mackerel and potato wedges. I ordered them separately…fried potato is instinctual for me lol

To make it more tolerable my doc prescribes me a cocktail of lorazepam, hydroxyzine, and baby aspirin. I also blew a ton of Delta SkyMiles upgrading to premium select. We'll see if it was worth it. Probably. We flew Delta One to Hawaii a couple of years ago and it was definitely nice, being able to lay flat is awesome....but it wasn't as nice as I thought it should be.

IRC, Blarney Stone is Dotonbori has fish and chips which are pretty good. But it may have been the Umeda one where I had them. Menu should be the same. It's a long flight, but it's not so bad. Just get up every 90 mins and walk around and go pee and stretch a bit. Find some movies to watch. Get some noise-cancelling headphones, if you can. If you play games and have a handheld, that can help eat up time. The flight back is much quicker.

Flights are long. Watch a movie, eat a food. I have done this by myself with babies and kids and it's boring but fine. The drink carts have whiskey and soda water so you can order a highball.
