Thanks for sharing. I wish I was there...

aaaaaa I was going to go out shopping in Tokyo today fuck you snow!

>>14631593
Are you from California where a half inch of snow is lethal or something?

>>14631597
I just don't like snow, simple as that.

>it's not snowing here
>it stopped snowing in Tokyo too
lads the climate is going to kek us all I fear

Every fucking time I watch these, the Japanese cabs remind me off Indian ones. Not sure why.

>>14631200
And its all gone ;_;

How much snow and how long did it last? So mad I missed it ;_;

Damn it's still full of people at almost 1AM

>>14640003
because everyone wants to see flanfly inside japan in 2am

It's called for snow again this weekend in Tokyo.

>>14643914
How much snow?

>>14643925
Because rain or snow is forecasted at this time, it seems not to be covered with snow.

Imagine how much fun these people are having just by living there.

Ah, how I wish I could see it with my eyes, just once.

It is not widely known that the Japan Sea coast is one of the world's major heavy snowfall area.

I had half a meter of snow fall down the other day.

I tried riding the train at 7:50 on the day it snowed, waited over an hour in the cold rain before finally boarding (Japanese people really push and shove and cut in line when they're desperate to get to the office), at which point they stopped the line again to rescue people from being crushed. I just couldn't take it anymore and decided to get off and go home

Ishikawa here. Got some small snows during November/December but nothing noteworthy.
Then, it came crashing down on us the day before yesterday during the night. Now, it's a pain to go to college.

>>14647844
There is an episode of Japanology on that.

In winter, cold winds blow in from Asia continent. Those winds pick up moisture as it crosses the sea. A chain of mountains in Japan break the winds and that moisture becomes a ton of snowfall.

You live there? Looks like a different way to enjoy Japan. Wish I was there so badly. I just wanna experience Japan once but for a long time.

>>14650196
You will, anon.

Is there actually any live camera with sound to cure my loneliness?

It truly seems like that will be case. Poorfag here with no degree. So can't teach English as well.

Man thanks for the feels. I feel like I'am over there.
>>14656993
Kind of. If your in bumfuck Inaka than yes you will get stared out at just for the fact of being a gaijin. Other than that don't be like those retarded gaijin's that can't take care of themselves. Those types will be stared at no matter where they are.

>>14657558
I don't know if your joking or not but sometimes when I see my chances of going to Japan are slim I do get depressed.

Ufffff, why can't I be in Japan right now? If only I had a chance to experience it. Before I wanted to live and work there. But seeing that is not possible. I'd at least like to just visit and that seems not possible either. So anyone who's living there please enjoy to the utmost on my behalf. I hold this sake to you all. KANPAI!

Same here but the feels just keep coming back. And only pictures of Japan that make me feel good again.
>>14659225
To be honest I don't know the exact place
>>14659327
I don't understand

>>14661537
What makes it worse is getting older and knowing your running out of time. The window of opportunity closing day by day. Each day you know is a waste. What's the point of going to Japan when you're 40? The best years of your life are gone anyways.

I want to go to Japan as well.

But at the same time I can't help but feel its just a further mode of escapism for me.

Because I settle for a cute gf instead.

You'll drive yourself mad if you keep thinking like this.

Remember to take it easy.

>>14662251
But taking it easy is the exact reason why I'm / we're in this mess.

>>14660388
not all of us are as lazy but all of us love Touhous and things about it, also I love /jp/ for being a slow and comfy board.

>>14662303
So if we weren't taking it easy, we'd all be in Japan by now, is what you're saying?

>>14662348
>>14662303
Exactly! Not taking action is why we are where we are. The only to accomplish your dreams is to push forward. My story is a little different and I have other reasons why I can't go to Japan. Won't get into them. And it drives me crazy,
>>14662251
Yes but how can you help it when each day you wake up you know you are not where you want to be? Knowing that you might never be in Japan? Seeing all the blogs/vlogs of people talking about their experience in Japan. Them spending a year or more years and coming back home. It feels as if I'am missing out on the action.

>>14631200
What is with all the strobing lights? is it just the camera filming rate?

>>14666029
What strobe lights?

>>14666192
Oddly enough they're not present anymore, but I saw them as well hours ago when that comment was made.
The lights on that big tree to the left, the stop light next to it, and about half of the signs near the ground on the big building in the center-right, were all flashing repeatedly like strobe lights.
It was probably some effect of the camera somehow, because nobody was reacting to them, and most of the lights in the shot weren't flashing, but it was very annoying to look at.

>>14666365
Please don't do this.

Its spooky.

Not being able to live in or visit Japan breaks my heart.

Why do you guys want to go to Japan though?

Escapism?

>>14670266
Just know you're not alone. I almost cry once a week in my bed. No joke.
>>14670339
A little bit of escapism. It has more to do with liking the country. And for me feeling trapped here in the USA.

A little bit of it, I guess.
I would like to live in any of the countries in Asia but Japan is on the top of the list.
Plus, I want to see things new and fresh on my part.

>>14653995

Just fucking do it, seriously. I whine most of the time, too, but even with some severe medical and personal problems, I was able to save up and go. Maybe you're in an extra tight spot and really can't, and that sucks, but if there's even 0.001% feasibility just start planning your saving/studying now, and work toward it.

>>14670941
Thanks for pushing me. Other than being in a tight spot I have other personal problems. But I will try hard and make it my first priority to visit Japan. I've given up on living and it hurts lot.
I don't know about you but for me what kills my motivation is I will be too old and way passed my prime. If ever I can visit.

Well, if you still can see what is happening to you, you are a rare breed and can be saved by yourself. No matter where you are, you can still be feeling awesome, as long as you're capable of self-reflection. It's a software problem that was hundreds of years ago.

Just so you know, what benefit you can imagine will always be inferior to the real benefits, as the ways of mind stilling are bound to lead you out of the box of conventional expectations.
You have to experience it to understand even a little. The benefit is hard to overestimate.

>>14676417
I doubt that.

I could go there and do some stupid shit, where is that, Shibuya?

Person you replied to here --

No problem -- I have to remind myself to stay motivated quite frequently, as well. Age doesn't matter much -- there are a lot of older expats and tourists in Japan. Can't change the past, except to channel it as motivation for the future. And the future's never quite here, which leaves us with the only actionable time -- the present. So, work toward your first trip to Japan in milestones, and that trip itself will be the first of many milestones as well.

>>14678834

>>14678946
Jealous cause he's in Japan?
>>14679607
Yea i guess. I have to admit age does matter. Just think about being 40 or 45 years old and going to Japan clubbing. It's weird and awkward as fuck. There are some stuff that doesn't matter but for a lot of stuff that I want to do in Japan it does.

>>14679872
No the way he acts just pisses me off for some reason.

I want to travel in general anyways, so with my weeb interests japan is an obvious choice. Also martial arts stuff.

Do something about it perhaps? Feeling sorry for yourself won't get you on the airplane to Japan. If you have a job, save up and go. I've been there eight times and I'll go again this year.

Have a picture from the "Furude Shrine" in "Hinamizawa", it was raining the entire time but it was a good trip.

>>14682184
Fair enough but clubbing???

Of all the "normie" activities.

>>14683318
Well, I always thought it was something fun and "cool" to do. Never done it. And trying to create "cool" memories with "friends"
>>14682306
Yes I should. It's just the damn social anxiety that holds be back.

>>14631200
In Tokyo, the rain may change into snow little by little because temperature is very low.

>>14682306
is Shirakawa Go worth the money and the time if I'll stay in Japan only for 11 days?

>>14683395
Dude, social anxiety won't hold you back there, trust me. You can go to Tokyo, spend several months there, and not have to interact with anybody. Sure, everybody will call you a fag later if you talk about it, but whatever. You can get by with very, VERY little interaction there if that's your thing. Locals won't approach you because they hate you, and you really just have to buy groceries once a week or something. Go to museums and shit and wander around. You don't have to be hanging out at clubs trying to meet qt girls every night.

If you're white and not too ugly, Japanese sluts will approach you and do the flirting. It's that easy being white in Japan

>>14656993
>tfw lived in Japan when I was 9-13

Why / how? What happened? Why don't you go back?

>>14685466
Dependent of a U.S. military teacher, later moved to Germany. It's my goal to get back sometime.

>>14684244
No what is it? Helps with anxiety?
>>14685168
Hmm... Yea makes sense. It's just being alone with nobody to depend on. And everything rests on my shoulders. I'd have lots of responsibilities. But the whole point of going is to be more out going and break my shell. I don't want to be there what I'am here.

Why do their umbrellas have like, no patterns at all? I once saw a girl with a red umbrella, she must be rich I guess.

>>14686273
The convenient stores sell transparent umbrellas for like 500 yen

It's a white christmas!

oh wait

>>14679872

Actually not that awkward -- you'd be surprised. There are some charismatic and confident dudes like that, and there are both guys and girls, younger and older, that will hang/drink/sex with them. As other people in this thread have indicated, if you focus only on the unactionable things, you're only going to damage yourself. Most of us have been/are/will again feel that way, but once you see some dude who looks 50 living it up and having fun with friends of all ages, you'll realize how much your attitude and perspective change things.

>>14688340
Easier said than done.

>>14688340
Whether there are people who can or have done it is a different matter. It's obvious that being young and doing these things is much more enjoyable than being 45+.

I honestly kill myself before hitting old age.

>>14695923
There is good chance your mentality will change once you reach old age. Seems like your a kid.

>>14696080
Yeah I don't doubt that mentality changes over the time and age.

But I'm at an age where you're supposed to be at the peak and prime of your life and instead its a complete utter shit and pathetic situation with no prospect of getting better. So yeah you tell me,

>>14698921
Really can't say much. Don't know anything. I will guess you are in your mid twenties and if you are you have a long way to go. With that much time you should enough time to change a lot of stuff.
