Thanks man, I think i will book one.

^^ I talked to Samsikle a bit, definitely helped. About Capsule Hotels, there is one in Shibuya that I am considering staying in, but I am wondering, can I check-in drop my bag in my locker and leave until I feel like coming back, or do you have to stay when you check in? Also, I think the one in Shibuya (Capsule Land) only does 2-day max.

I am going to be traveling with a hiker's backpack with all my shit and it and basically need a room/place big and safe enough to store it while I go out. Should I book a capsule? Thanks!

God, flared jeans are horrible on men; buy something that fits!!!

^^ Yeah. The Alife people.......

It is by the uber-retarded, "I fuck the Alife guys" very own "Married to the Mob." You can buy their shit here:

http://www.marriedtothemobnyc.com

If they don't have the ones you want online, email them and ask, or go to Alife NYC, I am sure they have them.

Also, what would you say the best hub is in terms of an area to stay. I am looking at hostels/cheaper hotels in Shibuya or Shinjuku. I currently have one booked around Ueno but was thinking of changing it.

What is the best area to stay in if I want the youthfullness/vibrance of Harajuku and a ton of great restaurants/late night bars in walking range if possible?

^^ Thanks again for your help. Since I am in Japan for 10 days total, and taking your advice into consideration, I think I will take the cheap 2 hr. train into Tokyo, and then purchase a "Tokyo Free Kippu" which apparently costs $13 and can be used for 1-day unlimited travel in Tokyo for my first 3 days in Tokyo, then I will activate my 7-day JR pass on the 4th day to begin my trip to Takayama/Kyoto. Do you know if these "Free Kippu" passes are the best way to explore Tokyo? Because I want to try and see Tokyo more than anywhere else..

Thanks for the advice guys!

So if I buy the 7-day rail pass, then I can use it to get all around Tokyo and basically anywhere else in Japan? I want to go from Tokyo -> Takayama -> Kyoto and back, and also from Tokyo to a daytrip like Mt. Fuji park, or something of the sort. Does the pass work for subway, bus, etc. in random cities? I think it also will get me from the airport to Tokyo proper? Sounds like it will save me a shitload of money. I read somewhere that a 1-way ticket to Takayama alone is $130? Thanks!

^^ Did you get that off of Redmoon's website? I want to get one but can't pay the prices on their site.........

^^ Visvim has a new store there now:

FIL (Free International Laboratory):

http://superfuture.com/city/reviews/review.cfm?id=3777〈=EN

Prices are similar to what you might find in the U.S. (FBT = $220, Serra Hiker = $300), I dunno about HK though.........

^^ I am an avid international traveler and I have found that the best thing to do is first use

http://www.mobissimo.com

Alot of people don't know about this site; it searches every airfare search engine (Cheaptickets, Travelocity, Expedia, etc.) and also airlines personal sites (singaporeair.com, ba.com, etc.). If it finds you something ridiculously cheap, which will most often be on an airline's own site, keep the page open, but also go to the actual site yourself and check. Travel agents are retarded and unless you are getting car/hotel/etc. you will NEVER get a better deal (obviously they have to make their commission). Let me know what country you plan on visiting and I will let you know the best way to look/best airlines to go there. I just booke a ticket from LA to Japan for next month for $500.

Considering it looks like some retarded NYC hipster bullshit party "Retail Mafia x Oxy Cottontail x fuck!!!" , it is probably 'Bijules NYC' stuff.........

What's your point?

Ah, I miss Thailand........

Burberry plaid is so played it is unbelievable, buy another cashmere plaid scarf at Walmart and it will only cost you $30. Save your money...........

Hey everyone,

I have searched some of the previously posted topics but have a few different questions. I am going to Japan for 10 days next month and plan on staying in Tokyo for about 5. The question I have, is is it worth it to purchase a JAPAN RAIL PASS for $400 (14-day), or should I wing it to get around? Is it cheaper to buy passes day-to-day? I want to go out of the city and don't really know where is best to go, I am on a small budget if that helps.

Also, I have been looking at some of the Hostels on Hostels.com and they have some for around $25 a night. Should I just go for those, or is there something better for cheap? I am travelling on my own so I don't care if the place is that nice, just as long as my bags are safe.

Thanks!

$32 on Patpong Rd...........

"Retail Mafia" blows balls.......they should have had NBHD design the Furies one since they do all their "Fury" shit.........

^^ Thanks man. Thats a really good frickin' deal, even with the GBP-$ exchange rate...

Witts -

How much were the new greycasts, and where did you get them at?

Quote:

Anyone know of any other m65 jackets out there that are easily available online.

If you are willing to fork out some cash (400 or so) Japan's Lowrider has some effin' sick M-65s and other similar jackets (namely the Harris Tweed M65):

http://www.star-lowrider.com/

You can't go wrong with Alpha Industries, available at your local surplus or online at tons of places, search on Google. If you normally wear a Large in most clothes, get a small in Alpha's, they are frickin' huge....I have also got a nice one from.......drumroll........American Eagle, I know them and A&F made a ton in different colors/washes over the past couple of years.....check e-bay.

If you have a Topshop where you are, they usually always carry some version of an M65 for pretty cheap (always under $100).....

The only thing I would warn you of is buying M65s from alot of companies that have been making them lately, such as J Money, Goods Seattle, One True Saxon, etc. because they are normally ordered from Alpha and simply modified, and do not warrant the several hundred dollar price tag they accompany.........

Obey also had a decent one for $90 that came out less than a year ago, if there are any shops in Australia that carry Obey, you could look around.

If you tell me what you are looking for (vintage look or modern, warm or light, etc.) I can direct you. One I recently considered purchasing is this one by Spiewak:

http://karmaloop.com/products.asp?ProductID=7792&VendorCode=SPI

Check out the additional pics, which still don't do it justice, it is very nice in person and is warm and cheap as well.

I know how to use the Google "translate this website into English" feature, but it is a pain to have to do it for every damn page when I am browsing Rakuten.co.jp, etc.......does anyone know of an auto-translate program that will make it so every Japanese page is automatically translated when visited?

Mods:

I know you may not think this belongs in Supershopper, but alot of us browse Japanese clothing/ shopping sites, and it would be very helpful.......

Gold is the shit if you don't overdo it. I have alot of real gold that I wear, just never rings/watch/necklace like a friggin' Ukrainian mobster or a pikey.......keep it simple and you can't go wrong. I wear a gold pendant/wallet chain from my belt sometimes, its original, go for it.

Santa Monica Airport.......you can look it up on the net.....take Airport Rd. and you will see the signs. They rented out an airplane bunker like they do every year.........

Oh, and no streetwear, lots of suits, belts, jackets, and dress shirts mostly...
