quick impressions

 

Lung King Heen was excellent for lunch

 

Going out for dinner, drinking is so much cheaper than Manhattan

 

Cantonese gets you better treatment, at least for me

 

Really great experience getting a suit made at Dream Bespoke, Ricky Kwan really went out of his way to make me and my crew welcome, made the suit making process fun, and helped with our stay in HK.

 

Really hard to get white girls to like dai pai dong

 

My friend went on six dates while in hk using Tinder

 

So much easier to get a good cup of coffee in HK than it is in Tokyo

 

Mainlanders swarm like 28 Days Later

 

HK Girls are smaller than J Girls, my wife has trouble finding clothes that fit even in Iseitan Strawberry section found clothes that fit everywhere in HK

 

Famous Tokyo Sushi places are 2-3x more expensive in HK lolz, skip that

 

Suprised HK ppl are more polite than Tokyo ppl during rush hour

 

My wife injured at least 4 mainlanders trying to cut her on line

I feel like everything I've funded on Kickstarter is trash

I honestly dont really want to work anymore.  I just looked at softbank's career site, seems to be targeting new grads.

I mean you already got the rich wifey and some decent cash, why not?

 

Kids? If so, then you gotta put them through international school. Saint Mary's etc easily cost you 30k per year. So think about that.

 

I suppose the eikawa-gig would limit your initial group of friends but I suppose you hustle and get good w/ some real movers/shakers.

 

No kids yet, but I was surprised how cheap international schools in Tokyo were, well cheap compared to NYC private.  Pre-K at the school across from me starts at 38K USD, and thats not including trip fees, pta fees,etc.  My wife's friend has kids at some international school with Hard Gay's kid, i think it was cheaper than 30K.  But yeah if I can avoid paying 30k a year I would.

 

Good point about the initial group of friends.  Maybe I should work as a barista.

at least get a galaxy bru. rockin tha s4 out here

 

I hate samsung interfaces, rather get a Sony, or go back to iphone when they release a 5 inch screen.

My wife wants to come home to Japan in a few years.  I was thinking of becoming a part time eigo sensei to make pocket money if we move to jland, and spend my time training jujitsu or boxing, and just traveling.  Do these eikawas hire people in their 40s? What's the pay these days?  I made some good money over the years pre lehman, and was luckily enough to sell some of my equity from the startup I worked at, so I'm not too worried about money, but having extra money to spend on Â¥30000 dinners once in a while, and travel money would be nice.

Go to private onsens, or places with private in room indoor\outdoor baths and you'll be fine.

now I feel ghetto using the nexus 5.

somebody should just introduce him 2 rob aka ichigo.  they'd probably hit it off.  he could show anomolies his hood and the way of the samurai.  take 2 competitive gamecenters

 

Ichigo made it to Japan, thats news to me hahahahahaha

iPhone

I think android equates to pipo of low socioeconomic status in general

I am like the only bro with a graduate degree who has an android in amurica

 

I seen a lot of people with them xperia phones though in jland

TIL there are rice cookers below $20.

If you use Chase Ultimate rewards, the amount of points needed for 6 nights at Shinagawa Prince Hotel a 133 night hotel is almost the same as 400 a night Tokyo Station Hotel, so use those points for Tokyo Station Hotel.  Not sure if this a mistake, but it hasnt been corrected.

Maybe it's a design flaw with the formatting of text on superfuture but I can't read these paragraphs either.

 

 

for me its TLDR

I forgot which game was it, Cousins simply pulled his teammates away from giving handshakes to the other team. Who does that?

 

Bulls, Pistons, Knicks, Celtics in the 80s and 90s

90K is pretty much the starting salary for new grads from good engineering programs at established tech companies.  Whats ridiculous is the sign on bonuses.  I have friends who are tech recruiters who have to put on dog and pony shows because they're competing with Facebook for talent, and competing against FB's sign on bonuses.  

 

Equity is pretty much useless.  It can even hurt you financially say if your options expire before your company IPOs, and for some reason you dont want to loose them, you decide to exercise them you're liable for the taxes even though you did not sell.

I meant US tech job salaries at Japanese banks like Sumitomo, Nomura in NYC.    

35k is ridiculous thats like Japanese company salaries.  When they're lowballin like that, sounds like they dont really want to fill that position, or the company has trouble securing funding, prob spent all their funding on big media PR.    

 

Speaking of lowballing, a recruiter for videogame division of a well known Japanese electronics company called me 3 months ago looking to fill a position similar to what I do now, after she asked my current compensation, she told me the salary would be like 40% below what I make now, bonuses will be nowhere what I get now, but will get 600 bucks a year to use on their online shop which only has 10% employee discount, buying their products at amazon seems cheaper.      

alexandria daddario is a nice lady

 

Those tits made me forget every nude scene on Girls

When the mailman doesn't ring the doorbell, he just leaves a pick up notice.

 

I caught the mailman doing it, and he was  like "umm do u want it now" and he had the package in his hand.

NYC is relatively small, so a week is enough.  August is kinda nasty and muggy, buy a bottle of goldbond medicated from one of the Duane Reades on every block.

LOLZ @ this

yeah its a shoulder issue,  I'll check Isetan again, I went before January.  I would have had more time if it wasnt for the Yurakucho fire.

Did sizes get smaller or did I get fatter.  US S is like inbetween L and XL at Beams\United Arrows, use to wear Japanese L.   Only in Tokyo for 2 days, any sales worth checking out?

Yup Duvetica, Montclair, Canada Goose type, yeah they played out, but warm as hell.
