Mega Donki in Shibuya has a machine near the main entrance that converts coins to bills and/or suica. I haven’t tried it so not sure of the % fee.

I'm happy to pay a fee to get rid of these coins. I'll make sure to check it out since no doubt I'll be visiting Mega Donki anyway - thanks!

Japan absolutely thrashed Iran to go to the 2019 AFC Asian Cup Finals. that's cool and good. Iran is actually pretty good so to win 3-0 is really good. the Fifa world rankings last month had Iran 29th and Japan 50th. they will play the winner of the Qatar/UAE game that's later today, after Qatar surprisingly beat South Korea, and UAE surprisingly beat Australia last round.

Japan will be playing for their AFC-leading 5th possible championship. go Japan!!

The FIFA rankings are trash, but yeah, Japan going for another title is still good stuff.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
Alright I'll be in tokyo tomorrow then Kyoto then Hiroshima - three weeks all up

Where to eat? Anything and everything :D

Earlier someone said a tonkatsu place but yakitori, sushi, ramen, soba, okonomiyaki, teriyaki and sunomono

Or anything else

Sunomono is pickles/vegetables flavored with vinegar. You'll get plenty of those without asking.

I guess I'm happy for Qatar, and their first and second goals were sick so you just tip your hat to them

just really uninspired play all around from Japan. good bit disappointing, and also the first time they've been to an Asian Cup final and lost it.

the second goal was hard to stop but the keeper (and defense) should've been better on the first.

Got here and downed a tonne of yakitori in Shinjuku. It's such a nice temperature here compared to Australia where two days ago it was literally 40 Celsius. I do apparently suck at that by habit I point at things which I am now way self conscious about.

incredible as it sounds, I've learned that the Japan goons drink far more than the china goons, which, uh, I guess that's cool and good, but maybe it's not? I actually don't know how I feel about it. it's kind of a mindfuck tbh

but yeah just do what the Japan goons tell you to do, the worst thing that will happen is that you end up drunk in Japan, which is like, actually really good.

I was born and raised in China, lived in Japan, and now hold a US passport.

Ask me about my tattoos.
Booked my tickets for Jul 13-29.

Leaving on the Monday Fuji Rock ends but it's a 6 pm flight. Anyone who wants to come to Fuji Rock, let me know. Lineup coming next week (1st round).

Still considering whether to do Tohoku or Shikoku.

It’s domestic so nobody cares much.

Also the TSA is real bad.

Domestic security especially is much much much more reasonable, and eye-opening if your only experience is flying in the US post 9/11.

What’s the recommended source for temporary SIM cards and data plans again? Geek, I think? I’m figuring that we’ll end up relying on Google Maps a lot so a data plan might be worth it. I have an iPhone tho and I’ll be hosed if I know how to change SIM cards in one of these.

EDIT: Looks like Klook can handle it for us. Does that one coupon still work, caberham?

Also, is NEX good for going from Narita to Tokyo, or is there a better option?
