The Official Japan Thread 2.0 "Nani?"

very illegal. getting caught = probably some prison time and banned from Japan for life

you can probably find it in Tokyo pretty easily if you ask around. I hear its about 7000 yen a gram

my advice is to just not fuck with it here. alcohol will be your new best friend

Alright that’s one. Who else?

Importing or exporting weed will get you up to 7 years in prison. But if you’re doing it with intent to sale/distribute the stuff (aka export/import a shit lot of it to Japan), up to 10 years and/or up to 3 million yen fine.

Possession will get you up to 5 years in prison… But if you’re doing it with intent to sale/distribute the stuff, up to 7 years and/or up to 2 million yen.

You also get deported and are not allowed to enter the country again for 5 years, from what I’ve heard.

yeah and then theres the synthetic stuff lol you dont wanna smoke that

lol damn imagineVC you really coming to japan? good luck, i cant imagine someone not knowin the language to just freestyle their way to make a living in japan

I would be down but I kinda don’t know what’s going on this weekend?

Next weekend looks like its pretty clear though. And there’ll be the SSFIV arcade loketest in Osaka to boot! I believe Reno is gonna be in Tokyo though?

i just got my TESOL Certificate. i hear its not worth much out there but i still wanted to knowledge myself.
im in a fairly good situation because i own a house and im going to rent it out which pays for my mortgage plus about 1200 bucks profit that will go to helping me survive in japan.
im gonna apply for my Workers Holiday Visa and freestyle it out in japan and look for any self depreciated job. i can stay one year with the visa so i’ll just do it for the experience of a lifetime and move back home.

so honestly, i dont have a bachelors but i have my TESOL Cert. with no teaching experience. do you think i’ll be able to find a teaching job? (kids preferably)

the part about no weed saddens me :sad:

whats your story hfz? why are you in japan??

im a student. ive only been here for 2 years 3 months though. sall good.

im not a native english speaker so i dont know much about jobs on teaching the language, id prefer easy labor jobs that pay a lot (e.g city garbage collector etc lol)… im not sure if you can get such jobs on a workers holiday visa though.

anyway you plan to be in tokyo? or other parts of japan?

how far is it from ariake (tokyo bay) to roppongi? really hard to tell from just looking at the map. is it possible to walk in 30 minutes?

Being an X-dank head, I suggest that you don’t smoke. And if you do please be careful… (Make sure that your circle is tight)

We need to have a sit down my friend. I need to tell you a few stories about a old SRKer named monkee77.

The weather in Japan right now is fuckin unrelenting. Ive been eating tons of ice cream everyday, havnt turned off the AC, barely go outside for anything. Coming back from the gym is the worst feeling ever.

AND STILL the bitches around my area dont show alot of skin. fuckin bitches.

Eh, whats up? You done made me curious and shit now. wait, you are monkee77, no? oh wait i get itt

LOL thats why ive stopped going to the gym and go swim at the pool instead… win.

Still, i feel ya, its hot as shit where im at too. Sometimes i feel just like skippin school because its too hot outside.

When I read these posts, I often get the feeling of old friends being stranded in some remote area in the universe trying to survive by any means necessary. Japan is a place where I would rather have an extended visit than live there. If there were a language/culture insta brain download program available, I still wouldn’t want to live there.

Word? I’m all for living somewhere that isn’t here, and Japan seems dope. Of course, that might change after I go… but fuck it. Mad tired of the U.S.

Offer still stands if people wanna grab some drinks/play some SF while I’m in Tokyo/other cities.

youre not a native english speaker?? your writing skills don’t show that.
if you dont mind me prying into your personal life, why and what are you taking school in japan for???
im not sure where in japan i plan to be yet. im planning to be up there by january though… because thats when i get my stupid teeth braces off. i can’t wait.

yeah i think ive pmed you back then saying just holler when youre in japan, right?

and uh, youre going to godsgarden? are you going to have a phone or somethin when youre here?

i was under a government scholarship for my degree, graduated march earlier this year, and currently doing my masters. as for why, to be honest im not sure why myself lol. im just here, maybe this is just a dream since i cant remember the start of it (inception reference lol)

anyway, i guess tokyo is going to be your best bet… or maybe the kansai area…

Ah shit, I think I missed the PM. I’ll hit you up fo sho, but I’m not sure. How much would some cheap prepaid phone be? Should probably grab one since I’ll have to call people I’m meeting up with anyway in other cities the second week.

Hot?! Please. . . I’m from Atlanta. All we need here is some jams! And it would be on! Speaking of the pool, are we going to do the SRK Toshimaen trip this summer?

yo what is toshimaen trip, sounds hella fun lol

man last year when we went it started raining HARD AS FUCK out of nowhere.

like one minuet it was all sunny and peachy and then next thing you know Halle Berry is having her period.

oh and dont get inked.

sup srk japan. been a while, i miss hanging out with you guys.
i wish evo japan would get their shit straight with the date so i can fucking book my ticket already…
as it is, it looks like the evo japan date is going to be pushed back to 2 months at least which blows…the original date was perfect.
so now i gotta choose between 2 dates. what do you guys think considering youre there and all?

i mean i could come to japan for sbo but then id just end up playing ssf4 on netplay lolol
