other photo threads are kinda dead so posting here, but what camera straps/slings are you guys using on your DSLR? looking for recommendations. 

trying to work out a rough estimate of my budget

 

would $500 be enough for 21 days of food I have no idea how much things cost in japan

 

I don't eat alot

possible, but you want to do better than that 

Is Afuri ramen any good?

if you like light ramen

 

 

one of the deeply anti-consumerist bands having their anti-consumerist images on high-priced rock t-shirt for THE hype®-consumerist brand

 

 

true. but all of these collaborations are mutual business agreements. so, in this case the dead kennedys jumped on to do this.

was trying to stay away from Tokyo for 2014 since i plan to live there in 2015, but you guys are not helping!!!

afuri is what i was thinking in regards to women lining up. it's a good joint. there's also like gonokamiseisakujo

lulz  yeah BUT what if it's a line of women?

still good.

warito and call it a day.

Anyone have any experience with Poler's stuff in terms of performance?

20k 3L shell for $160 seems like a bargain.

their bags are for sure the worst quality.

warito is usually night time for me. and then head over to that bar moscow down the street.

good ass list herp.

warito is def my fav tsukemen in the worldddd.

Thanks team, awesome tips there. Thinking of ditching Nagasaki - maybe next time I'll make it, and incorporating Hiroshima with Miyajima. Nara and Kobe can be side trips whilst staying Osaka as they sound like beautiful places to visit for a short period of time.

 

If anyone can shed light on tattoos in Japan that would be ace. I've heard it isn't the rave over there and some/most Onsen refuse entry to those who are tattooed - which could cause problems...

just cover up the tats, you'll be fine. 

 

• Is Mt. Fuji really worth visiting as a side trip from Tokyo? I've heard it can be underwhelming unless you are actually climbing the beast.
• Would day-trips to the following cities be suffice, are any worth visiting overnight opposed to an extra night in Osaka?
• • Nara, Hiroshima, Nagasaki & Kobe

Thank-you in advance!!

skip mt fuji unless you have time.

I'd say Hiroshima is a real good visit. It will be a sober one, but definitely a place everyone should visit if you have the time. Might as well check out Miyajima as well. I did a jam packed day visiting both Hiroshima + Miyajima and back to hotel in Osaka in one day.

recommendation on packs? want something in the range of 40-45 litters or so. something versatile for travel. was looking at the arcteryx kata 45, any similar packs?

any recommended quick eats/bars and places worth stopping by in Sapporo?

why is Japan so 'slow' in regards to this kind of stuff?

 

or am I completely off the mark?

it's not that they're slow because if they really wanted to, they'd trump everyone in teh techzzz.

people like physical things, it's just a cultural thing.

bumppppp!

i'm not from the bay but maybe east coast has better burgers. i dunno. 

 

dismalfuture who has probs dined at more michelin starred restaurants than any of us loves blacows. 

 

just not my steez

i'm born and raised in NYC, been to all the usual good burger joints in NY and vicinity. but i gotta say Japan has better burgers in general. worth a bite i'd say. 

 

Skip burgers, beer, coffee.  Coming from bay area you will be disappointed.

dunno about all that. but to each his own.

bumppppp!

best burgers in the world are easily in JAPAN

bumppppp!

It's not like my expectations are CRAZY high, it's just kind of sad that basically every coffee chain in Korea serves stuff that demolishes the 'best' stuff in japland.

 

 

dunno about all that
