TIL that a) Japan has a biannual tournament for senior citizen and b) 92-year-old Hisako Sakai won this years Tekken 8 tournament. I think this is awesome. Lifegoals!

Re last boost: #Oh, #OhDear, and #OnlyInJapan I guess.

(Mind you, I can’t be TOO critical, there are parts of the #LoveLive project that I quite enjoyed)

#Japan be like: "Let's take #DECT and increase it's coverage across the entire city!"

Someone: "Can it do data?"

  • "Yes!"

"Say no more!"

Someone at #NTT #DoCoMo designing the most #cursed #handheld with the weirdest name possible to use #PHS

The eggy by NTT DoCoMo, a weird round handheld with a circular D-Pad and 4 buttons and speaker on the left, and off-center to the right screen, two buttons to the right and a slotted in data modem for PHS, a 2G-esque mobile phone network from Japan.

The display shows the mobile version of the Wikipedia Article for PHS.

On my first Japan trip 18 years ago, I ran into this surprising scene at Ninenzaka along the hills of Higashiyama in Kyoto. Three women (likely tourists) in Maiko attire are passing a more contemporarily-dressed young couple. There are services allowing people to rent a full “package experience” including make-up and wearing kimono and traditional accessories.

喜報:在卡包丟失兩週後接到了警察署的電話,直至昨天有人在我丟包的麥當勞撿到並上交到隔壁的差館;這個時間給我的教訓是卡包還是得用比較顯眼的,體積大的,方便路人早日發現它的存在!我中途至少有兩次意志不堅定要去入管局、銀行報失,重新製卡,由於太忙和僥倖心理才作罷;今天如果沒接到警察的電話說不定真的會拿報案通知去入管局,在日本在留卡過期影響頗多,paypay和一些電商平台就不能用了,果然還是得在日本,拖延症晚期也會被拯救,此處加tag #OnlyinJapan

JAPAN MOTORCYCLE ADVENTURE | A 7-DAY Odyssey in Hokkaido (4K)

Guest Post

My buddy John Daub and I rented motorcycles in Hokkaido, Japan for a full week and had the most unforgettable and EPIC adventure on Japan's northern island.

Witness the hilarity that ensues when John, a wide-eyed newbie on two wheels, dares to conquer the roads of Japan with only a week's worth of riding experience under his belt. It's a motorcycle odyssey.
