2012 Japan Thread. . . (We are still here!)

General Discussion
#1

First, I closed the last Japan thread because it had been up for almost 2 years and I know that there are some new srk members living in Japan now. So think of this thread as a new place to meet SRKers who live in or have an interest in Japan. This thread is for the hardcore and casual players alike but non-gamers are welcome too. Feel free to post here but please follow the srk posting guidelines. Oh and Happy NewYear!

This is the New 2012 Japan Thread. Feel free to ask any site appropriate questions, post news or talk about things relevant to Japan on this thread.

Thread Purpose: Seeing that Japan is such a broad topic. It?s going to be a big chore to keep this thread on track. So I have decided to try and use the first post as a reference link point for important posts with information like: Travel, Food, Education, Language, Gaming, Entertainment, Drinking, Living Cost, Lifestyles, Girls so on and so forth. So if you see something useful that someone might find useful later. Please PM or contact me via FB or Twitter and I’ll put your link up here.

the last thread was basically the most unhelpful thread ever when it came to asking things about japan before i went.

#8

Sorry about that…Did you use the Wintermute and Reno summon spell?! But on the real FB/Twitter killed that thread midway (IMO) but this time I’ll try to be a bit better about it.

Now did anyone see this coming like I did.
