The Anything Goes Thread

Indeed, such a small world, that makes me even more excited! But at the same time, noone should call me Yuriko at work by word of mouth! Interestingly, French loves formality, that they call us by our surnames, which is nice though. I find when expat bosses call my given name, too casual. Americans tend to call by our given names. That's such a jump more than flirt! lol. Of course, via emails to Paris PA's I use their given names, but not to my boss's connection outside office when I make lunch appointment, I use Mr. surname to begin with all the time, even they start finishing by their first name. Formality is comfortable as a professional manner, in a way.

Yes I'm more comfortable using "surname-san" at work, very rarely using first names. But what I find now odd is the formality of using titles in Japanese companies when they talk to their boss or clients (like "Bucho", "Shacho" etc), I noticed young people do it less and less.

So of course they love it when a clueless frenchy say that when raising his first glass here (been there , done that :D)

There is nothing clueless about that. I always raise my glass to my Beautiful One.

But I just fucked up big time. Hangover and trying to do too many things at the same time like handling several Line discussions simultaneously. So I had two girls, both foreigners visiting Tokyo for the first time. One of them is an escort and one is just a tourist who'd like me to take her to a sight seeing date. Now they both go same time "Can we meet tonight?".

Yeah, you guessed it. I mixed the answers and now I have two very confused girls down there. I'm laughing too much to even try any recovery for either of them. Enough SNS for Uncle Mike for a day, just close that and come back tomorrow. :ROFLMAO:

So did you write something like "damn you're so sexy I want to fuck you hard tonight honey" to the tourist one? :ROFLMAO:

I think that matters for inside their companies, and for vendors or clients, they just say surname-sama or san is polite enough. I always find maybe that person is a titled executive at a company, but when apart from his company, he's nobody, just a person!!

Nope, from that I would totally be able to recover. Unfortunately my message to her was much more, how would we say, businesslike. :eek::D

Oh fuck, this is so bad and funny at the same time. I am now totally afraid to open my Line ever again. But the funniest fact is the escort girl sounded way more confused than the other one.

Just say a demoniac frenchy did an evil prank on you by hacking your Line account.
I can provide the alibi for a modest sum! ;)

Anyone know what happened to the classifieds section in Metropolis?

I would be curious to know how this story developed, if you care to share... :)

I thought they died off years ago.... not just the classifieds.

Used to be a really good magazine then got taken over by some dodgy guy and turned into all ads no content. Real shame.

Since this is an anything goes thread I feel that I can respond to this.

Do the French really say chin chin? (and does it have the meaning in Japanese that I have heard it does?)

Chin chin was used for a long time in English (well, British English anyway) but it sort of died out about 30 years ago. My only recollection now of the term being used was in adverts for Cinzano (do they still make that?) in the late 70s/early 80s when a pretentious English guy was trying to impress Joan Collins (Americans of a certain age may know her best as 'Alexis Carrington' in the 80s show 'Dynasty').

This is how Brits who use the phrase "chin chin" are portrayed:-







I always find it interesting how different Netflix is in different regions. I'm currently in the UK and Lucifer is only available on Amazon Prime - not Netflix. But, I agree with you, it's a great show and season 3, which is currently airing at the moment, is a lot of fun.

Talking about Netflix, I've been watching a few Japanese shows to get myself acclimatised before my move to Japan and, frankly it's been a bit weird. It's either shows about high school/university students portraying really quite dysfunctional relationships at one extreme where the old "treat them mean to keep them keen" style of dating is used by most Japanese men. Or the Japanese version of 'Big Brother' called 'Terrace House' where nothing really seems to happen at all.

Having said that there was one show that I watched that did really draw me in. In English it's known as 'The Many Faces of Ito' but I understand that in Japan it is known as 'Itō-kun A to E'. The lead actress, someone by the name of Fumino Kimura, impressed me with an interesting and understated performance:-



So what can I really expect from being in Japan?


By the way, just talking about Fumino Kimura, I've read the posts from your experience with SA and I've also read the posts in that forum about the Universe Club. How likely am I to meet someone like Fumino Kimura in those places in Japan? I know that I should perhaps start a new thread on this subject in the Sugar Dating part of the foum, but I just thought I'd ask. I guess what I'm saying is late 20s/early 30s, some one I can spend time with out of bed as well as in it and have an interesting conversation in English as well as anything else. (For context, I'm in my early 50s)



I just finished that show as well...Very well written IMO, and Fumino Kimura is very attractive in that role...

Regarding your comments regarding Sugar Dating, I would advise to create a new thread in the Sugar Dating section....from my research, I think the answer is Yes, you will be able to find that...but it will take some work via Line/Email communications beforehand, and face to face time....

I am looking for something similar for my next trip..

So I'm on my daily jaunt threw Akiba a little while ago and I see these 2 Japanese hotties (college girls maybe) with a guy. The hotter of the two is in the middle and the guy seems to be putting all his time in with her as the other one is on her phone. Trust me, they were both pretty hot. So being myself I mumble I guess just a pinch to loud, "Christ, I bet she looks great naked" and I guess the guy heard me cause he comes up behind me and says "What did you just say"? I turn around and say When? He says, just now. I said "When" He says just now. I said When. He says, well don't say it again. I say "don't say what again? when"? He turns and walks away and the girl on the phone said "We both do" and then they laugh. I don't get busted to much mumbling my nonsense. I guess you never know who can actually understand English in this country. That's not gonna stop me though.
 
In Okinawa. Enjoying the real beach view! I wish I had a man along with...sigh.

You should have updated your ad. I am pretty sure there are some guys in TAG who are living in Okinawa. Then you could have had guy coming with you. :p
