Japanese Crew - I Need Your Help

alright so check it out. 21st birthday is coming up in 2 weeks. so my parents are buying me a plane ticket to anywhere in the world so long as i have a place to crash at.

so you guys know what im gonna ask. i'd like to go for 10 days or so. anyways, if i can crash at anyones place, i'd like, uh....i dunno. how do you thank someone for that without giving them head? i'd kick you down with some cash and food i guess.

in any case, uh, yeah, i guess i can't say i have high hopes for anyone being down with letting a stranger from a game message board chill at their place, but yeah. worth a shot i guess. mods, please, as a personal favor, would you guys mind leaving this thread here in hopes that it'll get read by more people.

check out my site or something to give you an idea of what kind of person i am, and where im coming from
 
Sorry but....

You can sleep out back with the bums!
i'm actually considering trying to pull something like that off. how safe is japan over all? backpakcing would be awesome as hell if it's do-able.
 
They say life itself is an adventure all its own, but then you find bums trying to sniff your pants and all of a sudden you realize they are full of shit.









The pants.


wish my parents would buy me a plane ticket...UK get! which one of you hot UK residents wants to house the almighty demi?
 
You can stay in a gaijin hostel for just pennies a day! fenegi might know more about that than I do.

Also, you prolly don't want to come to Japan and stay in Gunma-ken. You'd spend more in train tickets getting to interesting places than you would on a hotel - plus the hours in transit. No offense meant to the fine people of Gunma-ken.
 
Just get the lonely planet guide and look up where the hostels or cheap minshuku are in the areas you want to go.

You'll meet people that are more interesting than GAF readers anyway.

thing is, most of my budget is gonna go to that $600 plane ticket. so i want to be able to check it all the cities. aside from actually just going, my second biggest reason for going is to take some pictures of the cities and sky scrappers. if the japan thing doesn't work out, New York it is.
 
Johnny Nighttrain, you should try posting in the lifestyle forum at www.tokyopia.com. They will be able to give you advice on where to stay, plus there's plenty of GAF people there.

IMPOSSIBLE! CAST OUT THIS HERETIC.

The GAF "Japan Crew" I got to meet in Tokyo last summer were a great bunch of guys.

EDIT: You've never been to New York City?? Go there first.

Gunma is the goddamn opposite of cities, it's the most rural prefecture in Japan (well, Aomori and Yamanashi are pretty close.)

Work out of Tokyo or Osaka as a cheap base. Osaka might be better; you could day trip to Kyoto, Hiroshima, Nagoya, etc.

"Hi baby. This is um... what's your name? Oh it really is Johnny. Sorry, this is Johnny. You'll never guess what. You know that videogame forum I dedicate my entire life to and you hate so much? Well he's a user from there and he's going to sweat through the nights in our living room. Given that we don't know him, he might also steal your underwear. With any luck, you might get to walk in on him masturbating on our sofa one morning. Isn't that swell!?"

I can't see her problem. You need to have a word Black...

:lol :lol :lol :lol

The fact that she already hates you guys doesn't help at all :lol :lol
 
"The fact that she already hates you guys doesn't help at all"

My GF doesn't hate you guys, but even then , the chances of any of you stopping over is minimal...

um... except for Evilromero
 
Hey! I met your girlfriend. But maybe she secretly hates me. :(

No problem, if a japanese woman hates you, you'll never know :)

Hey Lyte when in Summer? I plan to stay two weeks in September.

yeah she does hate you.... sorry..... :lol

j/k DC's GF wouldn't hate most gamers... my GF doesn't really hate any of guys, and she think DC's avatar looks like him...
 
the Portuguese blood in her negates all japanese coyness unfortunately.

ha! having iberic blood is another thing, hope you are nice with her ;)

I really would like to meet some of the guys here, I had the honour to meet JohnTV and other great people last time. I would like specially to shake hands with you DCharlie only for the laughs I have had with some messages from you (and to stole your game collection ;) )
 
Maybe you met me last time if you hooked up with John TV? I guess not though :)

I'm here for the long term, and i'm always up for meeting up with people, so drop me a PM when you are on your way over...

Same with you Lyte if you end up this way (again)

I don´t think so, but it was in a party some days before TGS and I really didn´t feel like asking people there their names in forums (well I did once and failed, so after giving myself some mental punchs I didn´t it again).

I've been at all of those for the last 3 years! Oh noes.

ouch! what a shame :( I met Justin, John, Gregg (that I confused with Dylan from Tokyopia at first that is because I didn´t ask something like that again ;)) but I believe the rest of the people I met were not from any forum. Maybe I should have been less shy and ask John, but I didn´t want to disturb him too much.

hold on , which place was this in - the small place in Ebisu?
 
Possibly :)

Yes, last year, two days before TGS, wednesday I think. The one you say was just the day before TGS?
 
yeah, i was there. Place in the basement. Drink all you can right?

I was standing (rather predictably) at the bar... or at least within a few meters of it.

Oh man your Raven is soooo going down! I don't even care if he's a black ninja and all that!

Yes :( what a missed chance, I was inside of one of the little rooms inside. Well, i hope I have the chance again this year.

You'll have another chance next TGS, don't worry! :)

I was kidding; no plans at this time. But I would love to go back...just don't know what the hell I'd do this time around if I went to Tokyo. :)

But I am hoping I will be living in Japan by September. I applied for the JET program; had the interview, now have to wait until April just to hear if I made it in, am an alternate, or didn't get picked. ARGH

well you got to see me turn 27 when you were here! lucky you!
 
Johnny, the big thing here, besides everyone not knowing you, is that living spaces in Tokyo tend to be on the small side. I felt like I was living in a CLOSET last summer. :) In 2001, I stayed at a friend's brother's apartment. There were four of us in there at night and it felt CRAMPED. If anyone else came over, there was barely any room for 7-8 people to sit in the same room comfortably!

I should have gone to that club with you. I'm sure it would have made for some fun stories. :lol

Dude, Immobiles Passions is hot. Please tell me you're hitting it.
; )

anyways, i figured there was no hope on the message board thing, but it was definitely worth a shot though. im having some friends ask their ex girlfriends, and just other friends if i can crash, so hopefully one of those works.

but yeah, it's a free trip to japan so long as i have a place to stay. so im not gonna be giving up that easily.

how much do you guys think it would cost to go backpacking for a week?
 
You'll have another chance next TGS, don't worry!

I hope so! I´m having so many problems for going to E3... it´s being a nightmare. Freelancing is not funny for certain things. But Japan is more than just work, I will stay two weeks this year or will die in the intent.

I used to motivated myself reading Fenekku, but the traitor chose to have something to eat everyday and a nice apartment instead of staying on the sacred order of freelancers...

(by the way Fenegi, congratulations for your new work!, I think I had not the chance to told you ;))
 
Anywhere in the world? Sweeeeet. Well I live in NZ, if you tell me some nintendo secrets you can sleep on my couch.
 
update.

i have a friend that's willing to go on this Double Dragon Challenge with me. we're going to take advantage of those feature filled internet cafes, and we're bringing a tent, some sleeping bags, and our beautiful bicycles with us. we're gonna make it just fine.

alright, so i'll be there by the end of march worse case scenerio.

so who wants to chill? oh, and i appreciate everyones help.

Hah, my first meeting with DC and Singh was just a day later I believe :P I'm pretty sure I got there on Thursday.

DC,
now that I think back, you looked surprisingly well that day for someone who was at all you can drink the night before.


Speaking of which, BlackAce how's about that new tag I mentioned the other day... er, and I don't mean the one that starts with 'b' :P

No one looked drunk there, very responsible people around ;)

I had the chance to meet again with John TV the next day with a couple of persons, maybe it was that day. But unfortunately I didn´t found a internet connected computer on time to check it.
