T.I.J. (This is Japan)

[Mulboyne]

One of the problems that crops up regularly in many areas is that the overseas branches of Japanese companies often have little idea of what their head office policy is. There's a good chance that neither the Bank of Montreal staff nor the Mizuho Canada staff knew what Mizuho Japan would charge to process the money orders so there was no-one to flag the potential problem. Likely the staff assumed it would work in Japan as it worked in Canada. I doubt there was any fine print available to read.

Sorry, I'm too dumb to get a pic in here I took on my cell phone. But if anybody is interested (I kinda doubt it...) it is in my FG images.

Help somebody, please.

mod edit - fixed as requested - just go to the end of the page where you have your image and cut and paste the whole BB code with the img tags to display the image

[Tsuru]

The url is right next to the image, and you have a choice of with or without [IMG] tags.

Thank Mod-san and Tsuru-san.

I just noticed that the phone number for that apartment ends...6666!

Whistling (especially at night) is said to attract snakes.
Bullshit of course, but many Japanese dislike whistling because of this.

My wife beats the shit out of me if I whistle for my dogs to come in at night.

Japanese people are also superstitious about the number 4. Well specifically shi.

I not sure how far the bullshit of this will go. I think it depends on the girl. The right girl whistles in Roppongi and a lot of snakes will jump up and come running!

Those two statements hold true for the Chinese as well.

I pee in the squatter toilets. Wee.

I'm gonna have to try that---- whistling for snakes. I have too many pigeons taking craps the size of kittens on my balcony. I could do with some snakes.

[eighty5er]

That's what I love about whistling in Japan.

No competition.

Somebody whistle for some snake?

Based on RP's posted pic, I couldn't resists.

Fifty dollars? When I was in Saigon, you could hire half the girls working on plantation row to get nude and get in a pile with you for 50 bucks MPC. For fifty in green, you could've probably rented all of them!

Now, Kelly, don't get excited but your role in this "G.S.F. Therapy" short film will be kind of like this:

Best post I have read all year!! Excellent!!!

[Ke11iente]

Thank you, thank you.
I didn't know until I typed it out that it was going to work out that well.
I'd like to give thanks and praise to my mother, Jesus, and maybe Gary Glitter for penning that delightful ditty, "Rock n' Roll: Part II". Minor league hockey games (and several young boy's ruby starfruits) just wouldn't be the same without him.

Well said and earned K! BTW isn't Gary Glitter, that renown star of stage, screen and proctology exams by the Vietnamese guards, due to be released about now?

Not sure. It's become rather difficult to keep up with which country he's currently being imprisoned in / deported from.

Why is reggae the new trend? Kids have marijuana leaves plastered everywhere but they all listen to parapara. Everyones wearing track suits in jamaican flag colours. I think marijuana is the new playboy.

i think its been like that for a while.. it was all the rage in kansai when i was there a few years ago..
for real fun, give the guys with the joint smoking bob marley shirts a scare by asking if they know where to score some grass.

[CoffeeBoss]

My thoughts exactly haha it would be priceless.

Yup, I remember seeing dozens of rastafarians in kansai areas like American mura as far back as 2000.

4--death
9--pain
whistling@night--brings snakes
cut nails@night--you won't be able to see your parents before they die.

The list goes on and on...

My wife has the whistling at night problem too. Although in her case it has nothing to do with bringing snakes and is just overall bad hoojoo.

I once read somewhere that that particular superstition stems from the fact the burglars used to use whistling to signal eachother, but I've never really understood how that translated into badluck for anyone else whistling at night. The burglars are going to hear you whistle, think it's another burglar and decide to rob your house because of it?

i always thought that this was an tokyo vs inaka thing (because we all know that anywhere outside of tokyo is inaka, especially kansai).. when i lived in wakayama, everybody always told me that whistling at night brought snakes and i never heard the burglar thing until i moved to tokyo..
who knows? superstitions are completely senseless anyways.

[Samurai_Jerk]

I doubt it'll happen but if I ever do get serious with a J girl, I'll have to make sure she doesn't believe in all that shit before I marry her. That would be a deal breaker for me.

It's possible, my wife is Tokyo born and bred, so who knows.
