Rezz

Troubled soul eh? It's going into SuperAB 171 (Ikeda's place) to getb a new LSD soon, plus a new Cusco clutch and some bearings replaced... Ikeri couldn't explain to me in detail. After that, boost up, HKS F-Con SZ (maybe) and if money allows a turbine of some description. Nothing body wise except for a new '93 bumper and 'Flugel Plate'... <-- 10 points if you know what one of those are.

In my experience it all depends on how long you've been here. In my circle of friends, workmates (Japanese) and aquaintences, they *expect* me to speak Japanese, or at least understand everything thats going on, because they know how long I've been here. But as far as people that I don't know... geez I think there will never be a time when foreigners are expected to speak Japanese and are treated as we would treat them when they 'try' to speak English. I've been here for 4.5 years and I'm only just now getting into semi-fluent general conversations. The moment anyone starts talking about mobile phone company rules and regulations, politics or complicated senarios... I can't keep up.

In Kansai, it's an alert that the train is coming... or just prior to an announcement.

Of course The Japanese think symmetry and organisation are two of the most important things when presenting something... hence sushi 'bento boxes' all arranged nicely, company employees looking like clones of each other etc. As for cars, it's all about the stickers on both sides matching pefectly... not whether they're readable or not. Remember, English isn't so important over there... you know, with the Japanese language and all

Knock yourself out... Having said that though, I can't stand it when guys jump in and answer questions that are obviously directed t me

^^^ Very interesting mate... top post!! Thank you

Micheal: will answer your question asap... I've gotta go to work now Ok, first of all, teaching in Japan is quite easy (the actual teaching part) especially if you're teaching kids. I think the long-term mental strain of having to be 'genki' (lively, happy) day-in, day-out is more of an issue. Of course, some people excel at being genki, so for them teaching in Japan is a walk in the park. As you'd only be teching part time, you shouldn't hve a problem. Most other teachers like teaching... they say it's easy money, although some can't stand children or repeating themselves endlessly. About the wine... sorry I don't have any experience importing perishables. Anybody? As for me, I teach at an English School in Osaka, I also do 'other stuff'... everybody will find out what that is next month.

There are many, many, many beer vending machines around, although I wouldn't say they are in as many locations as softdrink vending machines. Japanese society is quite different to Western society (as you probably already know), so it's quite rare to see Japanese people getting drunk sitting in front of beer vending machines... in fact I'd go as far as to say that it'd be easier to see a foreigner (Niiiiick! wink, wink) getting drunk beside a beer machine. I did see one Japanese guy... he looked unemployed... sitting quietly near a beer machine having a beer. But that was it, he wasn't legless or anything. Yes, definte testimony to the differences in social behaviour.

Ha ha... no, of course not. You can by them off the internet anyway

Should you call it an 'R35'? No... because it's a Skyline Coupe UA-CPV35.

Yes... well there were Used Panty vending machines. The story goes that in a 'Pink Business' (read: Red Light) district in Yokohama, before the days of internet auctions, business owners stocked a few vending machines with used panties because customers were too embarrassed to ask for their 'presents' over the counter (well... who wouldn't???). They didn't last very long... local authorities cracked down on the machines and all that remains are one or two about Tokyo... below is a pic of one machine taken in 2002... it's not there anymore.

It's short for 'Rezzin' or the uncool spelling version 'Resin'. A long time ago when I was a wee 15 year old, I was cutting some (insert illegal flora here) with some scissors and it was very sticky. I didn't know what the sticky stuff was until one of my friends - after rolling about the floor laughing - told me what is was. After much verbal abuse recalling that event the name stuck for some years. I use it now as a middle finger salute to the guy who made it up.

Wooooohooooo!!! Good stuff Guerilla! Those backgrounds are excellent!

I get alot of PM's asking some trivial things that really should be posted on the J-Forum so others can benefit from the info (and in turn save me from answering the same question 15 times! ). eg: "Hey Rezz, how do you say **** in Japanese?" So the rules are simple: 1 question from each member... and 1 answer from me! No whoring, I'll just delete any posts that aren't questions or answers to those questions. **Btw, those that can, feel free to correct me or add anything that might answer the question better. Thanks.

I wanna be like Mike?

Yeah, and if you understood elementary English, you'd realize that I said 'commented' not 'complimented'... big difference I still think it's

WTF: as in a bloke commenting on another guys appearance

Made some of my own pics using the 'Photo Travel' feature... suprisingly it's very involved and is quite usable. Check out some of my lame efforts:
