    Craigslist Casual Encounters

    Probably not. :) Now, if you were trolling the M4M section, that may be a different story. Have any of you peeked over at the m4m, just for curiosity? It's rabid over there, lol. Gay/Trans/Les, it's all good, but m4m really racks up the posts on a day-to-day basis. Plenty of penis and ass...

    Phone help

    Your best bet is to get a rental Japanese phone at the airport when you arrive. Usually near the exit, after customs, there are counters for buses trains and just near there, you will find a rental center run by one of the cell phone companies. I believe you can get a SIM card, depending on...

    Tokyo Subways to Get Softbank Service Between Stations

    God, I can see it now, more people yapping away on their phones like they do on the JR lines. It's usually not a Japanese person doing it, but other foreigner types. Although there was a bit of a brawl on the Sobu line a few months back between some Japanese men arguing about talking on the...

    money exchange

    There used to be a money exchange center with decent rates at the Yaesu underground shopping center. They have since renovated and I'm not sure if it is still there. That's on the Nihonbashi side of Tokyo station, through the Tokyo Station City area. If you have cash to exchange, I think you...

    Boycott the TSA & Air Travel - My Body Belongs to Me!

    Yeah, sorry, the TSA is like the local bully with too much power. America is no longer a 'free' country in the sense of how it was founded. It's a shame.

    US Dollar Drops Like a Rock 7/2/10

    Ideally, living in Japan and using dollars while traveling has a great benefit when the Yen is quite strong. On the other hand, businesses that are exporting products, are losing money like mad. My mind is so adjusted around the yen, I don't really think about the dollar unless I plan on going...

    Shinjuku Cheapest Hotels

    Shinjuku itself is just expensive to stay in, but maybe you can find a business hotel that has reasonable rates. Most of these hotels are on the west side of Shinjuku. Kabukicho is on the east side and it can take a good 30 minute walk depending how far you are from the station (coming from the...

    Boycott the TSA & Air Travel - My Body Belongs to Me!

    Nice write up there Karen. There was a new article floating around today about how the TSA employees feel 'abused' because of the onslaught of public pushback in the form of phyiscal, verbal and mental abuse. Those TSA peopel should place the blame squarely on the shoulders of their employer who...
