I'm an ice chicken? Wow, that's unexpected. xP
I can suddenly somehow imagine myself as a Blaziken who can control ice rather than fire.Posted May 3rd, 2012 at 6:15 PM by PlatinumDude

Scarf’s Japan Survival Guide
You're welcome. :) But in general food in Japan is a lot milder than in most Asian cuisine anyway so you'll probably always have options for non-spicy foods. Although I guess you'd have to have tried something once to know if it's spicy or not... hm.Quote:I actually think I have an allergy to spicy food or something because it physically burns my tongue if something is too spicy.. as in.. I will get those red bumps over it for days and it will feel like my tongue turned into sandpaper.. @[email protected] It's really frustrating to tell people that I really can't handle spice.. cause usually I'd love to try it, but then if I do I end up suffering for days ;o;
But thanks for the info.. @[email protected] THis is super useful and you rock. I copied this down and saved it into a doc so yeah.. thanks!!!
Well, convenience stores aren't entirely inexpensive. A bottle of soda there might be around 150 yen which in today's terms is like 1.80 USD, 1.40 euros, or 2.20 NZD.Quote:Reading about the varieties of food and convenience stores and so on and being so jealous because I live in New Zealand where dairies sell pies, soda and toilet paper and affordable dining-out options are limited to McDonalds, Burger King and KFC (triple blech).
I wanna go live in Japan now. ;;Posted March 15th, 2012 at 9:02 AM by Esper

Quote:Oh snap. There are some things I totally forgot to mention, like karaoke. How could I forget that!? Time to edit.
For courtesy, I dunno. Most of the people I ever talked with were kinda used to Westerners like me and/or more laid back so they didn't mind any unintentional rudeness. I think if you're just a polite person in general it will translate okay, like not being late and making people wait (or at least apologizing if you do), offering people tea or something if they visit you, and accepting food or other things if someone offers even if you don't want it. Obviously you want to follow all the common customs like taking your shoes off when you enter someone's house, etc. I think one thing that struck me was how much people say good morning, good afternoon, and all those kinds of greetings. I wasn't someone who did that, but it kind of felt like I should after a while, like it was just part of the ritual of acknowledging someone.
Oh, and on escalators you should keep to one side so people can walk past you if they're in a hurry. That one tripped me up at first. Supposedly different areas of the country go to the left and the right but I never noticed if they did.
The word for "spicy" is "karai" (辛い) so you could say "karai mono wa taberarenai" (辛いものは食 べられない) "I can't eat spicy things." Or you could say "karai mono ga suki ja nai" (辛いものが好きじゃない) "I don't like spicy things." Or if you really want to put your food down: "karai mono ga iya desu." (辛いものが嫌いです) "I hate spicy things."
I would go with the first one though because in Japan it's seen as a little childish for people to have "sukikirai" (好き嫌い) or pickiness with their food so if you make it sound like you physically cannot eat something that's the easiest way around it.
I can't think of a place I'd rather not be.
