This forum will never die. I am a proud member of the YW community and I eagerly await 2024.

I've never even heard of Michael Moorcock. I will look into his books.

I love video games

I've been reading Robert E. Howard's Conan short stories recently. They are freaking awesome.

Are there any other good books? what are your top books?

Has anyone played Baldur's Gate 3 yet?

I started off in Tokyo and stayed there for four days. Then I went to Kyoto  for a week. After that I went to Osaka and spent two nights there. The last place I visited was Okoyama and I was there for two days. I am mostly into history, public parks, and architecture so Kyoto is definitely my favorite city because of all of the temples. The city is packed full of tourists to the point where it feels like you're walking around in a theme park but the city has so many interesting things to offer. As for Osaka, I don't think there is any need to spend more than a day there. There isn't much to do in Osaka besides visit Oda Nobunaga's castle.
I really enjoyed Okoyama but I can't remember what I was doing there off the top of my head. They had great burgers in Okoyama. The food was great everywhere I went to in Japan and there was a wide variety of ethnic cuisine.

 

maraakate can I reach you by ICQ Messenger?

It is a nice country and it is cheaper to travel in Japan than  the United States because of the depreciation of the yen.  There are too many tourists and the subways and trains are old. A lot of the infrastructure was built in the 70s and has visibly aged although it's still functioning. If you have money then it is worth a visit. The architecture is nice and they do a good job keeping their buildings and streets clean. The people are overly polite but that is mostly a good thing. They have vending machines and convenience stores pretty much anywhere you go. There is no reason to own a coffee machine because of the vending machines and convenience stores are so ubiquitous.

I rate Japan 4.1 /5.

I couldn't help but let out a guffaw at this video:

I'm not a big fan of Eminem or rap but this is very cool:

would you be willing to eat Japanese sardines?

Will it be safe to eat seafood in Japan in late September and October? Supposedly the ocean water has been contaminated with radioactive waste but I think it's probably
just a bunch of crap from the environmentalists.


What do you think?
