i saw yurokocho  brows.gif

did u managed to go the underneath alley?
very hard to find  sweat.gif

I went to ginza with the intention of checking out yurakucho but ended up eating ramen nearby the station haha..

copy paste from my blog lol

Piss Alley is not hard to find but can easily be missed. You could simply search for 思い出横丁on your google maps and remember to take the West exit of Shinjuku Station (S01 , E27) and use the escalator from Uniqlo to leave the underground.

Hopefully you could find it the next time (:

and ya, alley like these are usually packed during lunch time and supper

Yakocho are those valley with food stall. Because Japan rental are extremely expensive. most of people open small business at valley. Time get longer and longer more and more shop, it became a valley food street.

mainly target those worker after work having some beer + food before going back home.

yakocho sometimes also for Goukon

Wow... your sister got into Sophia? Nice private uni.
Actually, I used to stay at that dorm for 2yrs.
It's a really nice place but a bit far from both
Sengawa station and Seijogakuenmae.
Miss the life there.
*
ya really happy for her too smile.gif
i've seen the dorm, not as bad as the fb group review (there were some scary stuff)
also went to her uni, honestly i envy her too

i think its good that its quite far away
so when she has to study or when its really cold, she'll be far away from all the temptations haha
she dont mind taking the bus or she might buy a bike

Walking is the best option to the station as she can't simply park it by the station.
To Seijo, it used to take me nearly 20-25min walk. Same with Sengawa (Keio line).
But get a bicycle for easy access to the Seiyu behind the dorm.  thumbup.gif
When I was there..... that building still belonged to the gov. sweat.gif
Anyway, it is a great place to be in. Can make lots of friends.
International dorm is the best!

I'll let me sis knw, thanks alot! (:
yes, she's already making friends, her neighbour is from thai.

RC is the boss running this place
try to ask question without doing ur homework, then u will know

2years off?
no problem... let me buy jackpot first
*
i dont understand.. try to ask question without doing my hw and i'll knw?
RC owns lowyat.net?
but i wouldn't want to work for an tranditional japanese company...

no i meant you plan now, save up and maybe have sth passive 2 yrs later then u fly.
u wanna wait for jackpot, thats unrealistic. you'd probably die first before u see the world. #yolo

RC pls forgave her  innocent.gif

cheh... i tot of that too but didnt wanna assume

then again working for a japanese traditional company such as ANA or JAL is hard.
with my 'free spirit', i'd not apply...
i'd be so pekcek when things are being brush out just because they could do so or when they give me a very polite and long winded explanation just for saying no.
other than that, i love japan! lol
