I do love Yokohama…
the price of oil surging means you can burn your shein clothes, extract the oil, and make more money than you paid
Why does every cover of “Helter Skelter” low key suck
金髪 is pronounced kinpatsu (on readings) and 黒髪 is pronounced kurokami (kun readings) because Japanese is evil and it hates you
Yep part of a line of 限定 snacks! Need to try the others before the promotion is over
This was my treat for the week. As a resident I gotta pace myself lol
If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.
Idk who needs to hear this but there’s a Black Thunder monaka out rn and it’s gooood
Radiation counters handed out to measure levels while standing on top of reclaimed soil

How did I do 3+ hours of travel yesterday and still not complete my daily Pimsleur Spanish what’s wrong with me 😭
Press gaggle to Fukushima got thrown into disarray thanks to the Tohoku Shinkansen snafu. They ended up putting us on the Joban to Iwaki. Will cut the tour short but 仕方がない
The trains are always on time in Japan*

sooo the claim that it takes 5-6 months for a human to translate a manga is bullshit.
