Long exposure so I guess that's why they turned into irregularly sized white spots.

are there a ton of poors in japanese cities? seems like everyone and everything is pretty well taken care of, at least in the cities. do they have robust social welfare services, or do the ppl there actually just work?

Japanese writing is the most beautiful writing system in the world and it's the only kind of writing that is cool to have on clothing (imo)

Not the kanji, mind, but the katakana and hirigana

My wife and I ate there way too often in the 2.5 years we lived there (we did eat other things, but McDonald's definitely had a disproportionate advantage) and not once do I remember getting non-perfect food. Eating out in Japan in fast food or family restaurant-type deals is streamlined as gently caress. Basically think about your perfect visit to your fast food restaurant of choice; no waiting, no bullshit, food was perfect. That's every time in Japan.

Once while I was getting ready to leave the clerk at the register noticed me, bolted from behind the counter at a world record pace, just to get ahead of me...so he could hold open the door for me. I'd paid under $5 for my food.
