I miss being able to get a hot drink like tea or coffee in a can from a vending machine.

Agreeing that Japanese McDonald's is a sublime experience. Teriyaki burgers are also delicious as hell.

The KFC's in Japan are amazing as well.

Is the food immaculate? I've heard there's stiff laws about false advertising so everything has to look like the pictures.

I don't know about the laws about false advertising but yeah everything was immaculate. If I wanted to get all :goonsay: about it I would thank the living wage the folks who worked there received.

KFC in all of Asia is better than American KFC. Still, why would you ever go to a foreign country to eat a fast food restaurant lol.

I lived there for two years :shrug:

Yeah I get you, and I didn't get sick once but I have traveled a shitload in my short life so I just assume my immune system is used to foreign crap being shoveled in it.


Last time I was there it was for 6 months, but as said earlier it depends on where you were.

EDIT: Is it nice being stationed in Japan? Iv had friends who have said is great, and others who have said that Korea is a much nicer place to get stuck with.

I really liked it but I think I was a little more adventurous. A lot of folks in my unit would just sit around the barracks and drink while bitching about how Okinawa wasn't <HOMETOWN>.

It also helped that I was in the Air Force and could own a car.

Funnily enough one of the best Italian restaurants I've ever eaten at was in Sapporo.

Similarly there was a Mexican restaurant on Okinawa which was amazing.

Except that for the people who pay attention to poo poo other than anime and video games, Japan does have massive structural problems. And demographically they are sinking, and their economy is still boned, and they're really not even exceptionally advanced outside a small number of industries and technologies. I know it pains a lot of you nerds to hear it, but glorious Nippon is just another normal country with a lot of problems just like every other country.

and like all the other country.img threads, everyone knows this is mostly low hanging fruit

Still jealous of vending machines and curry though.

I never played it because ffvi was honestly the peak of the series and it was never gonna get any better after that.
