Hopefully I'll find myself in your neck of the woods someday too.

When in Japan, visit beautiful Shinrei! ...who is jealous of manky meetups and US barb-e-q's

I just want to keep the invitation open. Anyone ever doing a tourist or business (or both) trip to Japan, be sure to look me up! I've never met any of you, but I would really like to.

You’ve never heard of the Silanda? … It’s the ship that made the Warren of Telas run in less than 12 parsecs.

Definitely want to visit Japan, the home of ninjas and killer robot makers!! 
Seriously, though, it is on the top of my list of countries I really want to visit.

I did visit Japan, back when I was a lurking lurker here. I loved it, and want to go back. Sadly, the price tag is a bit of a bitch right now.

I would love to visit Japan Shin. When we do I will definitely drop you a line...

it's the top of my "to visit" list; however, it's also high on my "can't afford" list, sadly :/
also, don't us poles need visas?

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

I'd love to. But I'm unlikely to be visiting Japan in the nearish (or even far-ish) future due, primarily, to budget constraints and also a terrible fear of flying. But thanks for the invite, should I win the lottery...
If an opinion contrary to your own makes you angry, that is a sign that you are subconsciously aware of having no good reason for thinking as you do. If some one maintains that two and two are five, or that Iceland is on the equator, you feel pity rather than anger, unless you know so little of arithmetic or geography that his opinion shakes your own contrary conviction. … So whenever you find yourself getting angry about a difference of opinion, be on your guard; you will probably find, on examination, that your belief is going beyond what the evidence warrants.

There is a conference I could have gone to in Tokyo at the end of this month. I really wanted to go but my research wasn't ready So now I have to go back to America AGAIN, but this time it is San Francisco in September rather than the NJ winter. Life is a bitch!
One of the students in my lab has to go to Tokyo on her own and she is a bit shy and has never travelled alone before so is totally bricking it. It's not fair, I want a free trip to Tokyo!!!! There is even a satellite conference in Beijing afterwards. Life really is a bitch!!

I have an opportunity to do a semester abroad in Tokyo. I don't know if I want to go there. I imagine the language barrier is a bitch.
I'll probably just go to London.

I'm not sure they'd let me in the country.
Considering I'd show up in Templar clothing with the Malleus Malefactorum and Ritualis Romani and lay waste to that Otaku sector of Tokyo. I'm guessing arson is illegal in Japan?

where in Japan are you based Shin?
have to admit this is idle curiosity, as the spectacular collapse of the £ on the exchange markets late last year put
an end to my tentative plans to go over there......

My gf was born in SA, her family was pricing it last year to see how much it would be and its expensive as hell! But i guess prob cheaper if your from Europe.

Maddest accents in the world. I've heard it's brilliantly cheap out there. My mate is south african and when he visits family he loves it. Not to live there though, it's crime riddled and has a nutjob for President.
Unlike our dear own unelected Mr Brown of course.

South Africa is an awesome, albeit crazy country. And the exchange rate means that most foreigners have tons of money to throw around. The 2010 FIFA world is coming up, if you're a footy fan it's a great place for a holiday too...

I thought there was a Shin-pic in the members-pictures thread's last iteration, if you can dig that up. Or I'm wrong and thinking of someone else from Japan...

I wish I could go to Japan...unfortunately I can't go on exchange there, and am a dirt poor student. But I've forgotten half the language (what "half" I knew lol) so its probably a good thing. But you're right Shin. More meetups in other places than the UK. Aussie Malazites unite!
P.S. Shin, what the hell is Pachinko? I heard about it the other day, but can make no sense of it.
