watarium museum basement has a section on art books, photography etc.

chill days sound like a good idea for sure. seem to be some cool hoods along chuo line not mentioned in superguide that id like to wander around for a few days.

on the latter note, how hard would it be to meet girls in tokyo as a 24 y/o azn dude?

i go out with a new girl about once a week or other week around here without having to really go outta my way.

most ppl's first guess is that im japanese, but that wouldnt fly in japan when they realize i only know basic phrases. maybe get a kpop cut before i go and aim for the koreaboos?

god bless the korean wave.

 

 

Some specific questions that will be helpful

 

1) Food - westernized Japanese, hypebeast restaurants, traditional japanese — what are you interested in? Anything "good" is not a real answer. Also, what's your budget? 

 

Like, if you said you want really good food, I'm just gonna recommend spots like Narisawa

 

2) Drinks - wanna have mexican beer and chill with skaters? artisanal cocktails? exclusive microbrews? you want to impress girls? get hammered with a bunch of old dudes for <10 USD? 

 

3) Stores - what type of style are you into? Selfedge denim daddy? Tech ninja? Mainland richboi? Surf luxe? Luxe athletic? Goth ninja? 

 

4) Records and music - what music are you into? you want records or cds? 

 

5) clubs - chill or floor bangers? view of the city or no windows? 

 

6) misc shopping - anything you are looking to pick up? DJ equipment? wanna try out that $3,000 earbuds that you've only seen on the internet? you want a lifesize rilakkuma doll? you want the best cake you're ever gonna have in your life? 

 

You name it, we have it. The US is like, you name it, it's on the internet.

gonna be exploring tokyo mostly solo for 3 weeks from late october to early november.

got an airbnb somewhere between roppongi and omotesando.

if my math is right i got about 200 usd budget for transportation, food, drinks and shopping per day. not sure what the right balance would be in terms of spending on food/drink/clothes/other

i got tokyo superguide but its just a long list of places, some of which im interested in but others not so much.

foodwise looking for the more value japanese places with meals under ~3000 yen?. no seafood (except fish), no nuts either

for drinks, i mainly drink local craft stuff, so would be down to try some local brews but also down for cheap drinks in general. 

in terms of stores, already plan on checking out stuff like nepenthes, kapital, facetasm, cdg, uc, kolor, sacai, cosmic wonder, efilevol, minotaur among lots of others.

also interested in select used shops like ragtag.

looking for some chill clubs 

other than clothes, probably look to get some decent commuter earbuds, pair of shades, stationary stuff, skincare stuff, and a decent sized pack to hold stuff i buy. these are things i want to get near the beginning of my trip that i want to use throughout my whole stay.

For sale: black Nike ACG Trainerendor Mid in size 9 US

listing is here .

 

Got these a while ago but they are more of an oatmeal colour than pictured above, having a hard time trying to incorporate it into an outfit because it clashes with any other tone of white I wear + my wardrobe is tiny and consists of only blacks and whites

 

Maybe I will beat them to hell so they become beige / grey so there's a more distinct difference between it and my other "pure" white pieces

Sounds like you could use some colour in your wardrobe.

I have these too and the midsoles at least definitely get dirty fast. Not sure about the terry yet, but I'm sure that does get dirty too just not as fast. I try to keep mine relatively clean tho since I like the near-white look to them.

Cool belts for small waists (28 in)?

Couldn't find any recent posts.

extreme q is comparable to volcano in terms of vapour quality, if you like using the whip, I guess thats one plus to the extreme q. I remember hooking it up to a bong like jayrock mentioned, very smooth. I would probably go for an extreme q over a volcano especially if price matters to you. 

volcano does have a bigger bowl though if youd rather pack some fat bowls, maybe about twice the capacity. also extreme q parts are glass which means you have to be a bit more careful with it.

another one ill mention is the herbalaire, vapour quality comparable to volcano or extreme q, and maybe a bit more efficient, a very small amount goes a long way, if you care about getting the most out of your flowers.

if you're looking for something stealth and portable, pax is probably best in those categories but doesnt have nearly as good vapour production and taste imo. I personally use an arizer solo but portability on that is kind of bad because the mouthpiece is glass, taste and vapour quality is good though.

its really easy to torch it with a healthstone if you arent experienced with using it, the key is to heat it up to that perfect temp range which has a bit of a learning curve. Vaporgenie is a lowtech vape that works in basically the same way.

Succulents in general are pretty hardy plants, little maintenance required.

Just keep em in a room that gets decent sunlight and water once in a while when the soil is dry. You can keep them outside too but I just leave mine indoors all year because I'm too lazy to move them when it gets too cold.

I've forgotten about my echeveria for over a month without watering before and it keeps on truckin after several years of abuse and a mild mealybug attack.

Some nug shots here, taken some time in 2011.

These first two pics are of an unknown strain. Smell was very reminiscent of grapefruits. Felt similar to other grapefruit I've had, kind of heady and cerebral while still giving munchies. Leads me to believe it might have been grapefruit, but I don't know for sure.

Another unknown batch. Smell and taste was great, sweet like some sort of tropical fruit. Felt like a sativa dom, with more energetic stimulant-like properties. A bit leafier than what I'm used to, but for about 6 bucks a g, I ain't complaining.

Some sour d here. Most likely some east coast diesel because it wasn't very fuelly like most diesels I've tried but very citrusy. Another nice, cerebral feeling.

Isaora now 40% off with ISA-BLACK-TURKEY.

Might pick up some merino baselayers at this price.

Bumpin with a pic dump.
These are old pics going back to '09-'10. I don't get through medicinal, and the source changes often so strain genetics get lost in transition.

I'll try to get some newer, higher quality pics when I'm feeling less sluggish.

These here are some sort of dense hybrids.

A nug of some sativa dom. More herblike and spicy. (potentially kali mist?)

Some sweet smelling hybrids (probably like a jfruit or similar). 

Made years ago while dicking around in photoshop while baked.

The loosest definition of drugs is any exogenous substance that affects the body. If it wasn't made in your body, it can be technically called a drug. That being said, I think most people are talking about pharmaceuticals or recreational drugs when they refer to 'drugs'.

Started taking some nootropics. Should be about a week or so before the racetams really kick in.

Drugs of late:

Daily or almost daily: multivitamin, 250 mg x 2 pramiracetam, 750 mg aniracetam, ~ 200 mg l-theanine, ~100-200 mg caffeine, 1.2 g soy lecithin, 3 mg melatonin, 100 mg 5htp, 5 g magnesium creatine chelate. All taken orally. ~0.1 g cannabis vapourized and inhaled. 

Every once in a while: ethanol, mdma, lsd, psilocybin, nicotine.

Want to try: dmt, mda, 2c's.

to be honest i'm not entirely sure. despite the "acg" link/association it's apparently under the nike 6.0 or SB line or some such thing; ultimately you'll have to purchase a pair and try running in but i fathom they'll be *okay* for it at best. don't take my word as gospel as i lack first-hand experience.

you'll also need to take into consideration the demand for them, or at least what seems to be a demand for them (sold out on every online retailer i've seen so far)

I think size.co.uk is getting them shortly as far as online retailers go.

I was originally planning on getting black timbs this winter but I think I might pick up the ACG mids along with a pair of wheat timbs for some variety in my winter rotation.

Anybody read anything about the quality of Ten C? At first touch it seems like really solid stuff, but I'm interested in how the fabric wears over time, and if the jacket really is something you can just treat again with waterproofing agent when it wears down

i don't own any Ten C but those guys are ex-Sportswear Company and design CP Company right now. i would suspect that the fabric looks good over time.

The fabric is really interesting in person. Look and feels great, never seen or felt anything quite like it.

I don't own anything of theirs but I've heard from people (mostly from styleforum) who have that the water repellent properties decrease with wear around areas of high friction. After a few months those high-wear areas start to soak up water.

Somewhat disappointing to hear since I like their designs and the material is really one of a kind.

I think the point of these jackets isn't to be impermeable to the elements because they age really fast. I think the point is to let them get to that destroyed, distressed look.

If you're looking for something to really protect from the weather I'd look elsewhere unless you are really sold on the look.

Keep them.They are pretty cool. Get a pair of nike acg for the rain. 

acg still good for salt and ice in addition to general wetness?

I was originally planning on getting some black hikers or timbs for the coming winter.

Wasnt sure where exactly to post this, but thought this thread was appropriate.

Picked up a pair of the all-black qasa highs, but still on the fence whether to rock them or return em.

On the one hand, I think they can look cool in the right outfit and they are also quite comfortable for casual wear.

On the other, I can't see myself wearing these in anything worse than a light drizzle (sort of touched upon earlier in the thread when discussing function). Also the price tag.
