Eating boar is already a thing in my region of Japan. https://en.japantravel.com/hyogo/tamba-sasayama-inoshisi-matsuri/3585

Stores check your passport to see what kind of visa you have, as they offer tax discounts only to those with tourist visas, not resident visas. No tourist visa stamp, no discount.

Just be sure to google whether they’re legal in Japan. Some American OTC meds - like those containing pseudoephedrine - are actually illegal in Japan. Some prescription meds too, like Adderall.

Japan resident here. Carrying your passport is not just a good idea; it’s actually the law. Foreigners have to have ID on them at all times - passports for tourists, and zairyuu cards for residents. Police seem more likely to ask for ID in Tokyo than in the countryside, and the airports and major train stations like…

I don’t normally like anime, but Your Name is one of the best movies I have ever seen. That said, they fucked their Oscar nomination chances by doing an extremely limited US release just for oscar qualifications at the end of 2016 - so not only did no one see it, but it was also going against powerhouses like Moana…

Why would you want to change that? Restricting the rights of felons, who are disproportionately people of color, is already one of the Republicans’ favorite tactics for suppressing the rights of minorities. It’s bad enough that a decades-old drug conviction can bar a decent person from voting. We really don’t need a…

Don’t sit on the stairs.

I know of at least one brand, called Accadi, but I don’t remember seeing it in my local little grocery store. I’ll take a look next time I’m in a bigger/fancier store.

Can’t help one’s appetite, so therefore possession of child porn is ok? Bullshit. If there is a demand, someone will create a supply. Someone created the images and distributed them because people like Watsuki wanted them. An ethical pedophile who really couldn’t help his desires would stick to written or illustrated…

Costco’s Kirkland Signature olive oil is just as good as the name-brand stuff, but much cheaper.

Saying “the Japanese don’t really shake hands, that’s a Western thing,” is like saying “the Japanese don’t wear pants, that’s a Western thing.” This isn’t the Edo period.

You’re looking at an ad.

I was out yesterday morning just after the game went live here in Japan. The first thing I did was go to a river where I picked up a bunch of Magikarp, then I went around to all the empty gyms and karped them up as soon as I hit level 5. I figured if I got to take the gyms for free, I might as well leave something…

Obviously you are a special snowflake and you know more about this than all of these posers.

It’s in the middle of a long line that goes through mountainous nowhere.

In the video and pictures above, the signs all say “Kyu-Shirataki Station.” Perhaps an earlier article mistakenly said she was going to “Kami-Shirataki,” and that’s what the article you posted is criticizing.

A small factual error: these students are not from “Washington state’s Eastern Washington high school.” There is no such school. They are high school students from the Eastern part of Washington.
