Also looking more likely than not the country will basically be shut down from April 27th to May 6th due to the Emperor abdicated on 4/30 and Golden Week going on.

Almost every country has some sort of period where you're allowed to work while visiting it if you're still working for your home country/business. If you work for a local company or a company with a local office it may be different.

Japan has it kick in when you hit around 180 days out of a rolling 365 day period. I think 183 is the exact number, but you should probably be able to find it via some searches.

Freelance would probably be different. Though you may be able to argue that each contract is created based on your permanent residence location. Especially if you aren't contracting with Japanese people/companies.

It's probably worth a short consultation with a tax accountant and/or lawyer if you're not on a full time gig somewhere and just working remotely.

People work all the time while traveling and just because it's 90 days instead of 9 days won't change the laws.

Best Conbini is Uber eats

You get MacDonald's, local kebab, famichiki, and cocoichi all at the same time from your sofa

Also you rarely need reserved seats unless you want to guarantee you sit together and have more than 2 people.

Question Mark Mound posted:

On the topic of speaking Japanese, I feel like I need a proper answer for the inevitable "nihongo jouzu" because I could just about ask for a drink at a bar.

What's a good (and simple!) way to basically say "I know I'm barely able to speak but I appreciate the gesture"

My Japanese teacher told me to use "madamada"

Go to a bar and just give the game to a random person.

Okashi no machioka is where to go for sweets. Donki is mid tier targeting well known things for tourists. Machioka has that plus a ton of other things.

What is the Japan version of DayQuil/NyQuil, I have fallen ill and need to kick this poo poo to the curb, I only have 3 days left

I got some bron but it doesn't seem to be doing poo poo, and googling indicates most of the cold meds here have caffeine

Edit: pharmacist at donki hooked me up with some yasumo which has no caffeine. Also the cough drops are by the gummy worms and not the cough medicine. Hope it works!

BRON liquid version works nearly as well.

BRON pill version is poo poo and doesn't knock you out.

I have 2 topen tickets in my group for Jimmy Carr on Monday 1/29 (1830 doors, 1930 start) if anyone wants a ticket or to join. They were 8900 each and should be pretty good seats since I bought them early, but they haven't told us seat numbers yet so who knows.

E: gone

Literally exactly the same as any show since the audience is 99% gaijin.

First time in Japan he also had material on Fukushima and about 5 minutes taking the poo poo out of English teachers.

Latter part was the quietest part of the night because it turns out they don't like being on the receiving end of his jokes.

I would love to hear that material.

Me, too. I was drunk enough I don't remember it. Hoping he does it again this time or at least a similar bit

Now I'm trying to find a map with all 200 exits of Shinjuku station, but human technology hasn't found a way to imbed this information in a 2D image yet

Please be sure it includes all other stations which are connected to it via walking without going outside.

This includes at least seibu-shinjuku, Shinjuku-sanchome, tochomae, and potentially nishishinjuku.
