Just got back from OSAKA JAPAN, SHINSAIBASHI/UMEDA AREA
 

Its like im just waking up from a dream.

japan is the greatest place on earth... however if u cant speak or read japanese u will have a hard time getting the most from the experience.

Don't let them fool you, they all know English lol.

How is the cost of living in Japan? I came back from vacation in Hong Kong last week and I was surprised by how expensive it was to live there compared to US.

yeah, all major modern powerful countries speak english. they probaly just choose not to. can you blaim em?

osaka is the 2nd most expensive city in the world, tokyo is 1st

Damn. Got any concrete examples, ie., how much does a Big Mac cost in Tokyo? (not that I'm a meat eater, but I'm interested in seeing a concrete easy to compare example of local currency purchasing power)

how do u find japanese girls dude?

BIG MAC COMBO 530 YEN comes w/ medium fries and medium drink

i know, i got 3 of them while i was there.

i think there are far more girls than guys..

its amazing, so many hot ass girls its like u are in a dream.

however the guys are styling and look cool.

Is that still around $5.30? If so, not bad really :)

Housing is what seems to cost so damn much in Japan - as well as gasoline.

1 usd = 114 yen yesterday

some observations..

the crime rate in japan is nonexistent

there are no guns allowed

the news doesnt report violence or negativity like in the US

everyone is polite, everyone is happy and helpful

the women are beautiful

When my son was there he said basically all the crime was committed by Americans. Sad, really :(

lots cheaper than in the UK - here that costs around £3.79 or something. i dont eat at mcdonalds btw :)

That sounds like paradise

paying one gazillion dollars a month for 3 square meters on the 76th floor of a building doesn't sound like a paradise to me
