Based on my savings, I could live for 27.5 months without a job based on the highest wage I've earned (in my previous job)

But I've debts too. I must pay my university loans (I owe at least about 21 grand from what I remember). They won't seize my belongings if I don't pay though.

Sadly this is becoming more and more true.

This trend is stronger in undeveloped countries (like mine).

BTW, IIRC you studied something related to computer networking, isn't it?

If it's so, then I feel sorry for you since servers and networking area has a high work load, even more if it's something relating to support because they work in shifts and they often give you a cellphone to call you at any time.

Thankfully my new company are a small business in comparison to larger firms and their clients are relatively small, don't give out phones and everyone got up and left at 5:30. Today was fun!

That's good. My company is small too but I've to be in work from 08:00 to 18:30 between Monday and Thrusday and between 08:00 and 16:00 on Fridays, with 1 hour to have lunch between 13:00 and 14:00. So it's 45 hours a week.

I sure hope K-On! GAF sticks around till then.

P.S. Summer cottages are great. Especially when they are away from any light pollution. So many stars to look at.

Yeah, sometimes I try to identify them and their constellations.

Where I am I can see some constellation that can't be seen (or at least are barely visible) in the northern hemisphere, like the southern cross.

IDK if Achernar (alpha eridani) can be seen in the northern hemisphere. At least I know that Alpha Crucis can't be seen from above parallel 27º N.

Uh, I just try to find the Big Dipper and Little Dipper. Though those are visible in the city. I just don't really know or have a hard time making out constellations.
 
I live near alot of farm land and we used to go into the fields at night with a telescope, it was good times.

If you do that now though you'd get mugged. My area has changed in the last 20 years.

Yeah, crime's a big issue in my country too in many places. The only place where I can look at the stars quietly is when I arrive at my company place early in the morning and is still dark (at 8 AM is still dark until about 8:30)

How 'bout you keions? Anyone else has the same crime problems in their hometowns as of today that were much less present in the past?

I've constantly moved around so I can't really say. I've had that urban feeling in me for the longest time, but I remember seeing constellations and stars clearly when I lived overseas.

I would say that things have always been safe. Unfortunately things can happen and my sister was robbed at a tram stop a few years back. Nobody did anything and the police said there was pretty much nothing they could do (gee thanks). The place where I'm living a teen was beat pretty brutally by 2 men. Made that tram stop a little scary at night as you have to go through a little tunnel. Many people were going over a larger road instead for a while lol.

Other than that I've never felt in great danger. I can walk long stretches at night without ever running into anyone sketchy. Petty crime exists but that's about it and it depends on the part of the city. Now there are some super messed up things that happen behind the scenes (it's a massive human trafficking checkpoint) but for the average person they won't run into trouble.

Of course it is, Mike has cash to burn still!

Hey Chet, I can send you a Mio oppai mousepad if you're interested...if I find one in Akihabara/Nakano Brodway/Nipponbashi Den Den town first!.

I'll arrive to Japan on August 26th. IDK if I'll be faster sending it from Japan or from Chile (I'll come back here on October 18th)

You gotta find me an 『Old Dancer』 t-shirt, like the one Mio wore.

Or one of those neck ties with the hidden Mio on the back.

Hmm...those are available in KyoAni store, don't they?

If they're no longer being produced I guess I'll have to resort finding them (second hand) in places like Mandarake, do I?

Give me some hints! (^_-)

No one must know I have my waifu by me at all times!

You may wear stealth cosplay clothes so only real fans would notice.

well there's a large here, if you need help ever ordering it, I can be of assistance.

http://page7.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/g155923943

I see it's a normal auction instead of an instant purchase. The auction seems to end on August 9.

Do I need to have a japanese credit card to buy it?
Also, IDK if the seller sends parcels overseas. (Guess I'll have to resort to use a proxy shipping if the seller doesn't)

Hey Chet, does a large one fit you?

forgot to say that yes, you'd have to use a proxy service

from my experience you do, however you can just use treasure japan for instance to have them buy and ship it for you

Thanks dude! I guess I'll wait til August 8 or 9 to bid for it. I hope I don't lose the auction.

I'll have to PM Chet for the shipping details (if it's not a big issue for him)

Thanks! I'll wait for Chet's response to my PM.

I'm gonna K-OFF by now, I gotta wake up early in the morning to go to my job (about 6:25 AM)

Greets!

How would that help when you have a car like this:
XEAAS7ml.jpg

;P

I don't know how to drive, but I'd love to be be given a lift in that car.

BTW, have you seen any itashas in your respective countries? At least in mine we haven't got so far in the animu scene as to driving itashas or selling dakimakuras in auction sites.

Remember that Japanese L is like international M.

I hope we don't have any problem with that. I'd be very sad if it doesn't fit. ੨( ・᷄ ︵・᷅ )シ

well it was the first result and saw "L" so thought it was a good enough guess not knowing Chet's size. I can check further.

As for itasha, I only ever see them at cons.

I've also found another Old Dancer T-shirt, but unfortunately they have it up to L size (The XL size is sold out)

http://animaru.jp/shop/g/g101731/

It's cheaper though.

It's a pain in the ass to find an XL one. I've tried looking for it in japanese in many sites like kakaku.com and rakuten but to no avail.

*stalks Inafking's profile* :3

omg you're almost a Member! SOON! ^o^

Add to that that I don't post as much as many other people (about 3 posts per pay comparted to almost 18 per day for other people).

Back into (somewhat) topic. Do you know if there are K-ON themed umbrellas out there? I've seen vocaloid ones but mainly on Aliexpress.

I don't know if there are official merchandise of this kind of product, be either animu or vocaloid themed.
