My fiancé got me an OLED Switch and BOTW this past Christmas. When I first started BOTW, I was like...umm...what do I do in this game? Then I realized: ANYTHING I WANT. Already have over 150 hours in the game. You can literally just wander

Sucks you had that experience, but you have to consider the environment. The internet can be a toxic place, no matter the language. Anyway, don't let some bad feedback stop you from learning -- use it as inspiration! For every asshole

I used to eat them all the time -- and yeah they taste pretty bad. I'm the kinda guy that says flavor be damned, if I just need a quick source of protein. They're usually sold in convenience stores quite cheaply as otsumami (booze

Sorry buddy, but a troop of larger monkeys would tear any dog to shreds -- doesn't matter the breed or size. They're fast, strong, agile, and smart.

Also recently switched to Lichess from Chess.com. The biggest benefit so far is the community. I don't know if Lichess just has better mods or if the two sites just attract vastly different crowds. Some players on Chess.com were downri

Fun story: One night, in Tokyo, was walking to the store. There was this well lit, tree-lined path from my house (at the time) to said store. On this path was one of the few remaining payphones I've seen (or paid attention to), in some

Hypersensitive to caffeine, so no coffee or pop if I don't mind the incoming insomnia. I may have a cup of weak earl grey every couple of days.

Wow, I have this exact same experience before falling asleep. It feels like a direct shift in the thought processes, and as you described it, it feels as though you have become a passive observer of your own thoughts. The images are sometim

I've had some work in this field -- it is as far as the marketing teams are concerned. One of my previous employers (international mega company) spent millions on advertisements each month, with no clear way to measure their direct imp

Buying the product is the primary goal, but they don't expect you to act right away. It's about impressions. You see 1000 Coke ads and product placements a year. When you finely decide you want a sweet fizzy drink, well the decisi

You'd fall into a fit of hysteria in Tokyo! Advertisements as far as the eye can see in the city center. Oh yeah, and everything talks...the bus, the vending machines, the constant jingles in the convenience stores, and if you can unde

Good pair of handmade American boots. Bought a pair of Chippewa for about $500 several years ago. Aside from the occasional resole, the leather only looks better with age -- and all you need is a good polish and brush to get them ready. You

I live in Japan, but lived in South Korea as well. I have to say, I have never seen so many public displays of affection as I did in South Korea (and I'm an American). Matching clothes -- down to the shoes, hugging, hand holding, piggy

This comes off as preachy and has a gate keeping vibe. "No other foreigner understands Japan the way I do!" Tourists are gonna do tourist things. Do I care about the plane loads of tourists flooding American scenic spots -- nope.

Yes, given you have soap and a proper hand washing technique.

I get what you are saying, but I'd take TP over the bum gun any day of the week. Lived in Thailand for a couple years, and was a bit shocked when I noticed no TP in many (most) bathrooms, until my co-worker explained it to me. Yeah, it

As others have pointed out, I wouldn't even have created this article, but to each their own. I'm assuming this client company was Samsung, due to scale and the author calling it the "K-Pop" company. They are known for u

Thanks! I decided to delve into the "pure" sciences of mathematics and physics. I figured I'd end up in the ivory towers of academia. And of course, like many other undergrads, I ended up major hopping a bit. I never consider

Ohh, TI stories! Here we go! "Hey, distantaidenn, I wanna talk to you after class." These were the words of my then high school math teacher. I wasn't worried, I was a good student. Little did I know, this would shape my care

I love working out. As much as I love it, it makes me tired and sometimes, even when I want to do more, I simply can't. Take the above example, and now apply it to human interaction. That's how it can be for introverts. It doesn&#

Well, I'm OP, and as fate would have it, I'm actually from Detroit (born and raised). If you do go, please make sure you have a tour guide. Downtown is safe enough, but if you decide to see the "real" city, you should kn

You hit the nail on the head. This is 100% correct.

I'm a complete introvert, but this is one of my favorite pastimes. Just two strangers with no baggage. My close friend once joked that I attract random people for some reason, and I sometimes feel that she is right. I'm pretty qui

Central Tokyo maybe. Tokyo is huge and on the outskirts you can get some nice places with a view. I personally just moved a bit outside of Tokyo to a house on a hill. Often working from the roof and enjoying the sunset. Aside from that, thi

No to be flippant. But why is this here? I can only assume this is some probe to see what can be successfully placed on the front page.

I had a blast in Sokcho -- could definitely spend a couple years there. To be blunt, I was bored with Jeju by day 2. The next time I move to Korea (which I do every couple years), I'm gonna try Busan. I've visited a few times, but

In general, would you rather a person open sneezed at you with or without a mask?

Huh? If you were an immortal, you don't just suddenly appear out of time. A person born in 1821 and still alive today would know more about the world than anyone else.

I guess it depends on what type of skincare they are doing. My ex (Korean), had a 7 or 8 step routine each night. This is fairly normal for young women in Korea. She explained it to me as such: it wasn't so much an anti-aging regime, a

Japan resident here. I grew up in the arcade scene in the US. It was the thing to do when we were kids. Sadly, it began to die just as I entered university age. I moved to Japan in my mid 20s and was thrilled to see arcades not only plentif
