Are you take the rice cracker to the deer?

When I went in April, this year, and the rice cracker was given, I was bit my buttocks by the deer.

It is not painful but many deer came near me and it was fearful.

No, we didn't give any rice crackers to the deer this time. But Troy said he got bit on the asse... I mean buttocks when he went to Nara last time.

One deer tried to eat my camera case...

Actually Dave, it wasn't that busy this time. When I went last time (just on 4 years ago) it was definately busier. This time there seemed to be a whole lot more foreigners too... I think the whole "Japan is really expensive" rumour is finally dieing off and people are actually seeing Japan as a legit holiday destination.

"I think the whole "Japan is really expensive" rumour..."

rumour???? dead-set reality (though the rail pass deals help now).

Other than trips to tokyo, I've only ventured out of niigata once for a domestic holiday (tokyo-osaka-hiroshima-and back) - and it's no surprise I'm going to china next month (it's cheaper than going to osaka for a week!)

as for the shika - have fond memories of a japanese tourist running for his life, chased by a couple of very aggressive bambis (that was at miyajima, though) :(

Actually Diaoni I posted that comment from a "first time visitor to Japan" point of view, many folks I talk to back home talk of visiting Japan now (they didn't, what, 5 years ago... citing cost as an excuse) but now it seems Japan is beginning to break free of that stereotype... even if it's actually true or not.

Yeah, travelling around Japan is expensive, whether in your own car or by public transport. :) If it wasn't for stupidly expensive expressway tolls, I think I would have been to way more places in the last five years than I have now. So far I know about every square metre of Yamanashi (cause it don't cost anything to get around) but once you start getting on the expressway, costs can soon rise and a day trip can cost upwards of 5,000 yen in tolls alone...:D

what were the government saying...they were hoping for all roads to be toll free by 2030...or something like that? By that time they'll probably be no more petrol and we'll all be getting around on electric scooters and won't bl00dy need the expressways! :)

visitor or no, I still think it's too expensive
I don't get the point you're trying to make? Or is that it... you think Japan is too expensive. If so, you don't need to tell me that mate... $30 in toll on Sunday speaks for itself.

my point?

was here; "rumour???? dead-set reality"

that is all.

I don't think it's a rumour! Again, I don't get your point because by telling me it's a "dead-set reality" implies that I don't think Japan is expensive, which, as I said before (eg: getting raped on the weekend by tolls) couldn't be further from the truth. 

To make things simple, how many times have people said to you "I heard Japan was really expensive", then told you they'd rather go somewhere like Europe for that kind of money instead? This is what I meant by rumour. Go back and read what I posted and then realize that I'm not letting on that Japan is cheaper than a few years ago (or whatever).

Worst conversation ever.

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
