Yes you were lucky. My friend told me, that in his case his word wouldn't mean anything, not because he's guy but because he's a gaijin ^^

How common are Net cafés/lan houses there? They pretty much vanished from my country but i hear they're still a thing there. I also heard that is not too uncommon for people in poor situations to use those as temporary housing, is that something you saw?

It's very common; the ones I go to are more like manga-reading places, like Manga Kiss. You can rent a room for 24 hours for about 5000 yen. There is a pc a bed, an AC inside, and a huge variety of manga. They also have showers, drink machines, and hot water for ramen, etc. Sometimes I stay at those places overnight.

I know some people who don't have a house and stay in those places, and some girls work at red light streets and are trying to get back on their feet.

Net cafes are also very popular and whenever I go inside is full, and sometimes you need to make a reservation. They have the same facilities, and pc`s always have the latest hardware.

Hi everyone, I live in Japan and wanted to make a thread for anyone who has questions about Japan. It can be about daily life, culture, food, travel, language, work, or anything else. I’ll do my best to answer based on my experience.

Hi, lokoralwosod-san!

What can you tell me about Japanese humor and how it differs from Western humor?
Japanese people tend to come across as serious, always mindful of politeness, and generally quite uptight.
I don’t mean that as an insult!
Are there comedy shows there like we have here, and do people tell jokes in Japan?
If so, what kind are they?
Maybe you know a few and would be willing to share them.
And are there also dirty jokes like we have?

How is Japan so based to the point that they launch Alex in Street Fighter 6, and now he is married to his adoptive sister, which is his biological second degree cousin? How common is for people to marry their cousins in Japan? Is there any social backlash?

I'll suppose it's not common at all for them to marry their sisters, even if that's pretty much an japanese media trope

First of all sarcasm doesnt exits lol, when i try to make jokes with sarcasm, they just take it serios and question me.

there are a lot of comedy shows on the tv like those you see on social media with crazy stuff. also a lot of improv or stand-ups. i like
Yurie Collins and katsura sunshine.

For jokes, im not really good at them. there is this on 母ははははと笑った。which is read like this; hahahahahahatowaratta. (My mother laughed, ‘hahaha.) for english speaker no meaning whatsoever but when read in japanese its funny
or to old people, Instead of トイレ(toire(　i say お川や(o-kawaya(river)) which is very old way of saying toilet and it always make them laugh.
there are others i know but it just doesnt make sense lol.
i dont know dirty jokes but there are names given to type girls i find it funny: jirai kei (means landmine girls) or menhara (mentally unstable basically)

I actually have no idea, but I have never heard of someone getting married to their cousin or their sibling. I will ask and reply in the future.

大人のコンビニM’s 上野店​

to find no pan places search this on maps apps- ーパン喫茶 it will give you results lol

Hi I might just be silly, but 2 things. Can you dm me those links because I can’t click on them here. Second, when I search that pan term, I only see bread cafes. Am I doing something wrong

This is incredible - I am going to Japan later this year and it is so difficult to find answers to pervy questions online. I've heard that no-pan restaurants exist (servers don't wear panties and there are mirrored floors) but I have no idea how to find one.
Also, besides Pop Life M's Adult Megastore, what are good sex shops to go to in Akihabara?

Wait what? I didn't know such thing exist but damn, I need this here too

 

[pur]

how are the nsfw fes? Did u go to any

 

[Daddy9Inches]

I heard that incest is legal. Is that true?

 

[SilentHunter]

Thank you for your generous offer, but I'm more interested in Chinese cultural traditions. All other East Asian traditions originate from China. From Japanese, I love Japanese poetry, hardly anything else.
