remember, if you live in the suburbs you are a disgusting human and should probably die

if it's your money and it's not gotten through illicit means, then spend it however you'd like. Who cares what other people think.

Egyption cotton dress socks. No joke. I cannot go back to the cheap shits.
Edit: Also, some people in this thread are salty as hell. If it makes you feel better, remember that you're better off than the vast majority of the world. Eating three square meals is the epitome of opulence in many places.

Quick, Bronson! Buy an apartment! Live in the sky, and you will avoid the wrath of Patrick Bateman / Tabris!
Of course, those runners are so comfortable. I changed into these before dinner at Atmosphere though.
times must be tough if tabris can't even afford cedar shoe trees

When my wife and I got married in Vancouver, BC, we got a room at the Hotel Vancouver. I don't know how I managed it, but I got us a room on the 9th floor which is now know as the Gold level. It has it own dedicated staff and concierge along with a lounge with wine, champagne and brunch. The stars aligned somehow and because it was for our honeymoon, they moved us to a 3 bedroom suite that is usually VIP only. It was huge with a lavish dining room etc.
The next morning we went to the lounge and noticed most people were in there hotel robes and slippers. It felt weird but we also got our robes and enjoyed an amazing breakfast and champagne. It was the height of decadence for me.
Here is a stock photo of the dining room in out suite. :

Dripping with opulence is my new screamo band name.
I don't know what that is.
Sure I do. I'm in Tokyo right now.
That's amazing! I've never been to that hotel (well inside an actual room) but it's one of my favourite buildings in Vancouver, so I assumed it would be amazing inside.

Went to an after party for the Ft. Lauderdale International Film Festival. They were serving drinks, sushi, had their own DJ, it was like being at a Hollywood wrap party.

HERE COMES ME
I'm in Ginza specifically near Tokyo Station if that helps in your quest to hunt me down and steal my chair? Is that it... wasn't sure if I was following along on what you're doing.
Isn't it a pretty common word? I don't know when I first learned it, but must have been when I was a kid some time.

Old world luxury:
I used to do video game reviews for the Xbox 360.
Was in Vegas to cover MX vs ATV. THQ had booked the top four floors of Mandalay Bay - those four floors belong to The Four Seasons hotel. My flight got in late and they are like ohh we don't have much rooms left. I guess we will have to give you a "small" upgrade.
I get to the door of my room ... It's set apart like a house with a doorbell. I open up, I'm in the penthouse presidential suite - 3000 square feet of old world luxury. Grand piano, coat closet bigger than most hotel rooms, massive conference table, oak and mahogany everywhere, Washroom is massive entirely made of marble, massive bucket of Blvgari toiletries (each worth 30 - 40 bucks each) --- dumped them all into my suitcase haha.
Apparently this was the room Obama would stay in or so they said. It was crazy with an insane view of the strip too. I miss THQ press events
. They took us dirt biking through the Nevada desert on MTVs to give us a "flavor" of the game.
Modern luxury:
10 day southern Caribbean cruise on Star Princess. First night I hit $25,000 USD on a slot machine in the casino. The rest of the trip was a blur of spa visits, shopping trips and top tip excursions at every port. Bought wife a $3000 diamond ring.
Aside from that I've been lucky to be able to visit high end resorts in the Caribbean ... Couples Negril in Jamaica, Don Pablo Collection Ambar Punta Cana Dominican Republic, RIU Bachata, RIU Lupita, and others. I love 5 star resorts ... So nice to feel pampered.

Every year I attend the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) AirVenture Expo in Oshkosh, Wisconsin with my dad. It's the largest aviation enthusiast convention in the world, and for the week it's put on, it's air traffic control tower is the busiest in the world. It's a lot fun and really cool to see planes from everywhere you can imagine. Naturally, it attracts a lot of wealthy people, who usually fly their own planes (ranging from biplanes to private jets) and park them at the Expo for everyone to see:
One time I was standing in line with my dad for a hot dog and overheard this dude behind me say to his buddy, "I have no idea how my plane works, I pay people to worry about that for me." It was great.

Tabris I'm the only one who defended you in this thread
I think you're awesome
Can you PayPal me 6000 so I can get rid of my credit card debt. It'll really take a load of my mind and make browsing GAF guilt free. I'd really appreciate it and you'll be making someone's life a lot better.

OK, that's good.
It's 9am here. I'm catching up on a bunch of things. And we're trying to stay on the down low for a while after such an expensive trip in Dubai. We're also here for a couple months, so no rush to do everything in Tokyo right away.
I know I answered your joke seriously.
I'm at work in Vancouver because it's 5PM here and I'm enjoying this thread so much.
I'm here for the rest of my life because my dumb wife won't move to California with me and I can't afford a divorce.

Not super opulent, but I stayed in one of the best rooms with my best friend at Punga Grove, a hotel in Franz Josef, New Zealand.
Room was big, high ceilings, comfortable double bed, a spa bath and an amazing private deck built onto our room that let us sit right at the edge of the rainforest. Amazing place.

No wonder THQ went bankrupt.

Stayed at a Florida country club for a week. Hated it.
Went with my parents, took a few of my friends. Drove to the driving range to hit a couple of balls, got kicked off no less than 5 minutes later because we weren't in polo shirts and khakis. Don't want to alarm the old white people, I guess.
Everybody was snooty as fuck, save for the people who worked there.
Culturally stale. Speaking of the people who worked there, the only dark-skinned people on the whole resort were the ones working at the stores and restaurants. I saw two Asian people on the whole resort: one of my friends and some rich dude.
Being opulent sucks.

I went to EDC Vegas and spent the days in a fucking super 8 that cost us $400 for two nights because my cousin's roommates kicked us out. Oh and I had frozen strawberry lemonades to survive the heat.
Seriously? What's the game plan in Japan? I can recommend some things.

as someone who has also eaten frozen lemonade in the desert in 120 degree heat, that shit at least feels opulent

Their press events were insane. Box seats at Wrestlemania and UFC events. Dirt biking in Nevada desert with monster car racing afterwards. One time they flew me from Toronto to San Francisco last minute (cost $3000 return). This was for the launch party for Saints Row. I literally flew in, went to a club downtown open bar and couches to play. Went to 5 star hotel, fed, hopped on plane back to Toronto in the morning. They flew through money.

Damn now that I think about it, not that much really. A couple of times I stayed in some nice hotels as part of an old job. At the Peninsula once with dinner and drinks and breakfast included. The bathroom was cool looking out over Tokyo while urinating. And one time in a ryokan that had private outdoor baths overlooking Mt. Fuji. Got upgraded to business class between LA and Tokyo a couple times. But overall I'm not high class at all it seems. I'm ok with that!
Bwahahahaha!!!
Love Foie Gras. Here was the Foie Gras we had in Dubai:
This one was really neat as the Foie Gras was made into those green balls you see. These were my favourite for sure.
Damn

Who drives in Japan
Please, my Japanese struggle vacations are hilarious, I'm poor as shit
Ya, gimme dem recs
I'm actually being serious.
What's your schedule in each city (I assume you're going to Kyoto or some other place as well?) and what kind of budget. What things do you enjoy outside of Aeron Chairs?
Maybe best for PM conversation or the Japan travel thread, since way off topic here unless my recommendations are of opulent things?

I used to work for a company that flew private jets. One day they had to position the jet for an upcoming flight and I got to go for a ride while they were doing it. I wish I could afford my own jet. That is definitely the way to fly!
