Soulseek has been down today. It was up yesterday. So what are you going to be doing in Tokyo? |
||||||||
|

Linguo- is dead. |

network admin/help desk/other comp work... on the personal side...i hope to bring my dj/production style on over, and try to set a scene. |
||||||||
|

|
I was in Tokyo last month. I loved it. How much does a network admin job pay there? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Do you want to buy a fridge, washing machine and mountain bike? Seriously, I am leaving Tokyo next month and have loads of crap I need to get rid of... |
||||||||
|
|

|
Heading for greener pastures? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
London - maybe a bit greener than Tokyo... |
||||||||

Nanotech - you got a job already? Where you going to be working? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Did you get sick of Tokyo? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i've got a job in tokyo. i'm not sure if i should be blabbing all over the net as to whom i'm working for. (not really all that big of a deal...but i need to keep the honor strict, and ask before i do things i have even the slightest question about). about buying your stuff...what all are you selling? i don't need big apliances though... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No I love it - its the most amazing city in the world.. Just feel the need to move on for a while and get some stuff together. Might be back again some day. What did you think of Japan, capn? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Most of my crap has been disposed of already - just fridge, washing machine and moutain bike to go... You probably dont need any of it, I was only being semi serious. Except for some pro camera gear, but I imagine that would be of limited interest to most people... Where you going to be living? Do they sort you out with a place to live as part of your deal? Tell me where it is, I might be able to give you some useful info.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

actually i AM interested in taking pro photography as a hobby. as for what part of the tokyo area, i have no clue. i didnt' really care as long as it was near tokyo. I'm just chillin in seattle for about a month, and probably going to e-mail my supervisors for more info while i'm maxin and relaxin. |
||||||||

Really? - it's a long shot but do you want to buy a Nikon SB-28 Flash Gun. It does just about everything short of including a rice cooker... Or a 77ml circular polarising filter? Unlikely but worth a try. Find out where you are going to be living - hope it is somewhere good. I can give you info on clubs etc and other places to go if you are interested... |

I loved tokyo. I love big, busy cities , and tokyo is the biggest and the busiest. The food was good. I'm into Japanese culture, so I enjoyed the Meiji shrine and the temples. And I met my girlfriend, so I had a damn good time. I'd really like to live there. |
||||||||

Cool - I am glad you liked it. |

So what is London like? I was supposed to go there a few months ago but the trip fell through. I'm hoping to go sometime this year. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
London's ok - expensive and overrated in my opinion, with crap transport and miserable people. Also seems like a village after living in Tokyo. DOnt let me put you off the place, there are good things about it too - culture, music, pubs (when they are open), very pretty when the sun shines (rarely)... err.. what else? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well all my favorite artists come from around there. :) After being in tokyo, every city looks like a village, right? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
True - but London seems paticualry feeble.. Picadilly Circus is rubbish - there are more flashing lights and neon on a suburban pachinko parlour in Japan than on one of the major tourist sites in London. No wonder the Japanese are not very impressed with Picadilly circus. London does have history, character and beauty though. Does that make up for the shit weather, high prices and all the wankers? This thread has been royally hijacked. Apologies to anyone wanting a discusision of soulseek. |

Soulseek is back up now, btw... |
||||||||
|

I was going to e-mail you about some questions a while back, TokyoJo. But I got bogged down before my trip and didn't get around to it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah - I remember you mentioned that on another thread actually. No problem, you had some local knowledge from your girfriend anyway.. She Japanese? Living in Tokyo? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, she's Japanese. She's lived in tokyo her whole life. Her parents are very strict...her dad is from a samurai family, so I didn't get to see her house, but she was with me all day everyday I was there. I wanted to see a traditional Japanese home though... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That's pretty normal - as I am sure you know, traditionally Japanese people dont invite you inside their homes.. If they want to be nice to you they take you out, but inside home is usually for family only. I knew a guy who was engaged to get married to a Japanese girl, and when he went over to pick her up, if she wasnt ready or whatever, he still had to wait outside the house in heat, rain snow etc until she was ready... He was marrying into the family and they still wouldn't invite him in... How did you meet this lady? In US? Be careful not to mess her around or her dad might come and use his mighty samurai sword (no euphemism) on you. |
||||||||

|

Actually, we were introduced through a friend. We talked on the phone and through e-mail for a couple months, then I went to visit her last month and met her in person for the first time. She tells me her dad has a collection of about 10 swords he keeps on the wall, so if I do meet him, I'll be careful. :) |

Are you disrespecting us? Shut up you face! |
||||||||

my dad married a japanese girl. good thing too or else i would not exist. come to think of it, if there was no vietnam war, my dad wouldn't have joined the navy to avoid getting drafted into the army. he wouldn't have been stationed at the base in japan. he wouldn't have met my mom at that night club and yadda yadda. out pops me 7 years later. they never mentioned anything about not letting my dad into the house though. maybe thats just a regional thing. oh and to stay on topic: soulseek down? how unusual ... :P |
||||||||

Cool - Evolume, do you speak Japanese? Ever been to Japan? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
