A positive thread for a change: Shipping

Aight, we bash this place which is an easy target for westerns for their seemingly unchanging politics and xenophobia. However, long term gaijin are here for a reason: there is some good.

I'm going to Hokkaido to snowboard for the New Year. As it completely sucks to lug a 2 meter board, boots, wear, and all types of other shit everywhere else, I of course used the Takkyuubin. Round trip there and back: 3360 yen. It's about half that if you keep it on honshu. There's nothing close to that in the stats, and I would assume Europe as well. Awesomeness!

 

Oh, for sure. Domestic shipping of packages within Japan is very reasonable. Moving large items domestically and international shipping is not, though.

Japan also has a higher ratio of cute girls and short skirts than every other country in the world.

 

I guess you refer this to the short skirts issue?

 

Taiwan has more cute girls in very short skirts then Japan does. Taiwan being a tropical country so even in December it's a nice 20 odd C.

Japanese postage is great too. :thumbsup:

 

I've been there before. I'm afraid to say if any girls I saw there were cute or not because I'm not sure if they were all girls or not!

Yeah, Taiwanese chicks can be cute... but I can't stand the sound of spoken Chinese!

 

Yes spoken chinese is not that great. Still I loved the sight of short denim skirts on nearly every other girl

 

Do girls there sit on their skirts when riding their bikes(option A), or let them flow(option B)? It's a mix here, but I'll tell you... after a day of seeing enough of option B... I'll just stop here before I get into trouble! :love2:

 

asia fashion outside of japan is sheer insufferable. they all look like they have taken it out of the old clothes collection for the 3rd time.

 

yeah, but those girls have dicks.

Also, I went partying in Osaka for New Years.... young, yes, but the ratio of filthy to ugly birds crushes Tokyo's nightlife, and there's less vehement hate of whitey it seems. Sucks to be married.

 

Well most of them have short skirts so have to sit on them with legs tightly closed, although 99% of them have scooters...

 

Yeah, but when they ride the scooters during the day they wear these freaky oven mitts and long coats to keep their skin out of the sun.

But yeah, I concur, Taiwanese girls are cute.

 

I think that just says more about your confusion over your sexual orientation...just kidding

 

Well, that settles it; Japan wins!

They don't aways keep their legs tightly closed here, much to the delight of many salary mans eyes. And the Japanese media wonders why there are so many perverts here...

 

If I'm confused, my poor wife must really be in trouble!

 

Some people know what they want.

And I want to be in Japan because of this.

Yes? YES?

ANYWAYS.

Never found Thai girls to be attractive, though the... videos... that I've watched haven't necessarily done the race justice.

 

Most derailed thread ever.

 

What are you talking about train accidents for?

 

Japan has an excellent mail service. In Europe you have to get your parcels from the post office yourself, in Japan you can ask your postman to deliver it when you are at home.
