<![CDATA[my time in japan...]]>a little background...

Japan has its own telecommuncations network...one being a company known as Softbank. Softbank signature is a white japanese dog known as "otousan" which translates as father being that he is the father of this atomic family.

The series of commercials depict a series of deals or specials the company puts out.

A few key things i should note...the black male is using a very formal and polite use of japanese...something you wouldnt usually use in a family style setting...its an almost obedient and observant tone.

the young female is using very rude and unmannered japanese...

the mother...is well being the mother...

Anyways this could be a complete waste of my time showing you all this...maybe it takes some sense of japanese culture..I thought it was funny.

If you like shinjuku you should visit roppongi, girls will literally drag you away. as for the drinks you struck gold most beer is 6 bucks a pint,8-14 for most american and german beers and shots and mixed drinks are usually around 10-12 give or take .50 depending on the exchange rate.

if your lookin for commonly used textbooks...genki (which translate to happy) is very commonly used. Once you finished the first 2 books...you should be able to get around japan by yourself. At least that is the level I am at.

It's like listening to Rammstein, I don't really know german but I like there music.:)

I've actually come to like a few Japanese hip-hop artists/groups, some regular and some instrumental. Nujabes, Fat Jon, Force of Nature, Tsutchie and Rip Slyme are some of what I like, it's a damn site better than most american hop-hop nowadays. :icon_thumright:

anyways if you guys find yourself in japan up till september 15th...hit me up.

second second side note...drinking is mad cheap...2 bucks for pint glass of vodka ginger ale...unheard of (at least in chicago)...

Sounds like a Rabu Hoteru (Love Hotel). You sure you didn't hook up with somebody. 😄

I'm kind of envious, I've always wanted to go to Japan and explore the mysterious orient. 🙂

At least there not pale and pasty WoW players, whose lives seem ruled by it, that only get out long enough to buy the new expansion pack. 😄
To each his own I guess.

I stayed at a hotel once, and there was a random Anime convention being hosted there.

The entire fucking hotel smelled like B.O. and people were playing with 5 foot cardboard swords all night.

Super gay.
