Also the basic rules for subbing and dubbing are fundamentally different, since (most) people read much more slowly than they can listen, so you really have to shorten things up for subtitles. If you just printed the script for the dub at the bottom of the screen it'd simply be hard for people to keep up.

Soricidus posted:You're underestimating people. In English, the average reading speed is something like 250wpm, while speech starts to sound fast above about 150. All I know about the topic is what Donald Richie told me, heh. (There's an essay on the topic in Partial Views.) He does sort of gripe that the limits on subtitles are probably stricter than necessary, but "beats per subtitle" is apparently pretty limited, and a subtitler would need good reason to do above the guidelines.

Ichiran is very good, but be warned that it's not a social occasion - they put you in individual booths, just you and your bowl of soup, presumably to keep turnover high.

Ise is pretty drat cool, but it's probably about the worst thing you could do at New Year's - single most important shrine in Japan and all that. Last year, almost 500,000 people visited during the first three days of January.

fish and chips and dip posted:Just wanted to say, I came back form Okinawa some days ago, and had a right loving blast. Did snorkeling twice, spent some time in Naha and went to the museum, went to a Japanese bath ate the best sushi I've ever had. I'm going to guess yuzu kosho, which isn't actually wasabi at all - it's a sort of paste made from the peel of a citrus fruit and peppers. It's good on pretty much everything.

I mean, I fly in and out of Japan all the time with boarding passes that say basically SMITH / MRJOHNJACOB (except, you know, with my name) because Japanese travel agents can't deal with middle names or even English-language honorifics apparently, and I've never once had an issue.
