[everysingletime]

any of ya'll been to the Japanese hostess bars in NYC?

Never. I don't know why it's never occurred me to look for one. But I will change that once it's safe to roam manhattan again lol

 

[computersputin]

Most of them speak limited English though . YMMV.

I mean, thats what a friend of a friend told me.

 

[Beruseruku Desu]

for food??

My go to >

That's a food store?

Damn.

It looks like a stationary store at first glance.

Na it’s not a food store but they do have restaurants at the top floor.

it’s a stationary store that literally sells everything. Each floor sells different items via category. They literally have everything you need

E everysingletime
If you do happen to go, bring cash, and bring a lot of it.
Not speaking from personal experience of course.

Sounds like a muji on steroids

 

[computersputin]

I use to shop at Hands on top of Sogo in Taipei . I prefer Muji though.

 

[Nawzlew]

muji the goat

apartment in taipei damn near shares a building with a mall that has muji

mitsuwa houses one of my favorite ramen spots - santouka

 

[lightweight champion]

The price you pay for the quality you get from Santouka

freal, quality food.

when i was living in LA, i probably went to santouka the most lol, dont have to wait in line or anything compared to other good spots

 

[everysingletime]

I watch way too much kdrama. I just laughed at a joke that I couldn't have understood a yr ago (has something to do with the language)

I don't shop at muji much but I will say this, muji always smells good lol

been binging hospital playlist last couple days. jo jung suk's character is awesome lol

 

[everysingletime]

Maybe hospital playlist will be next on the list. The trailer didn't really away me but your endorsement has me curious.

My one comment about Korean culture based on dramas...

I don't think I can ever understand why koreans stay so formal with each other even after dating each other for a while.

They stay calling each other by their titles rather than their first names.

I think it's one of those things I can only understand if I've lived there.

Another thing I don't understand. Some characters date for a really long time (like most of the show) before they talk to each other informally. To me that is weird but I guess that's another thing I can only understand by growing up there.

its good, im more into like thriller/drama/action type stuff, and tend to steer away from romantic/comedy stuff.

im enjoying this tho, its more like slice of life i guess?

 

[HNL HI]

my girlfriend been literally watching k dramas every waking moment during the quarantine, only ones I actually watched that I liked was 'fight my way' and 'lets eat'

 

[HNL HI]

Sounds like a muji on steroids

muji makes all their own stuff tho, another store like tokyu hands is loft

 

[everysingletime]

So I'm giving Signal a shot for now..

Ten minutes in and my impression is that Signal is basically Tunnel but with a more likeable protagonist lol

 

[shogun]
