      sadly, this is nothing new for foreigners doing borderline criminal acts abroad. there is a french canadian *docu-film* made by a humorist. Film's name is "Nos voisins Dhantsu". It's simply guys doing pranks and generally harrasing japansese people under the pretext of talking about japan. In case your french canadian is poor and google translate can't make sense of the word Dhantsu, it's a bad play on word trying to sound Japanese while saying "Nos voisins d'en dessous". litteraly, our down under neighbors.

      what angered me the most about Johnny Somali is, he always played the race card whenever someone got back at him or retaliate. he would call them racists while he, himself was the one being racist by doing things as he wanted, harassing locals and not even give a damn with the consequences. I remembered very much when he went to Bali, the Indonesian tagged the Indonesian Immigration and he immediately put on their watch list, which was why he only spent 4 days in Bali before he went to Thailand (where he got punched and choked and slapped several times, which were very satisfying).

So hearing about Johnny Somali getting away with being a dickhead, while I and so many other visitors were following the rules was infuriating. I hope he gets prison time, so he , and other foreign streamers get the message that you can't visit Japan and act like an asshole and not expect consequences. I and other visitors try our best to follow the rules, and it pisses me off Somali has made all foreign visitors look bad.

I've been there a few times for work and they really couldn't be bothered by small things like that. Just avoid the big ones. Besides, a lot of the politeness goes out the window there after alcohol is involved anyway.

      Give him 6-12 months which may be reduced to 3-6 months served. In terms of sentencing, that's good enough for me given the *MAX* sentence possible for the worst trespass conceivable would be years. For me sentencing is about doing what's *RIGHT* according to the law, not "setting an example" or like in the US - "revenge". Add on top a hefty fine such that whatever he made for being utter garbage won't be there anymore - it's all lost due to making stupid choices - there are consequences. On top of that, expelled and permanent ban on all no flight / no passport lists - he'll need to try out his nonsense in the US and see how *THAT* plays out for him. Again, it's about consequences, not necessarily prison time being maxed.

I think they were getting kicked out of a Karaoke bar (or denied entry idk). I didn't know who he was even when he said "I'm Johnny Somali and I'm famous on kick" but quickly realized staying there with him would probably get me arrested and got back on my way, specially because If you dare to take photos or video in that place, you get fined 100,000 yen (about 700 dollars), and the police confiscates everything you have.

    Chris -- I don't know about three months to get a six-pack, but here are some basics. 1) You can't spot-reduce. It's not possible to just lose fat off your stomach only, for instance. Fat loss tends to be an all-over thing. Getting a six-pack involves building your abs for sure, but also depends on taking your body fat percentage to a much lower amount. 2) Weight lifting is great for fat loss, and you'll build some muscle on the way, plus build stamina and balance. 3) Work with a trainer -- one who knows what he's doing and isn't on his phone swiping left and right while you pay them to do that. 4) Reduce or quit alcohol. 5) Protein and veg will be your friends; forget eating for pleasure and take up eating to build muscle. 6) Take up cardio, it'll be good for you in the long run. I've been working out for a year with a trainer, and while you don't know me, if I can do it, anyone can. Good luck! 😀

But in the uk for example since last year most shops close 5 or maybe 6pm the latest and i can’t go shopping, so i have to go on weekends or take a day off. Then the owner complains to me that people don’t shop there but online, guess whose fault it is.

    Quick tip for anyone going next summer, look up restaurants that will be open in the morning for breakfast, lots of them don’t open until 9-10 A.M., stay inside the hotel/AirBnB or places with AC between 11:00 A.M. and 3:00 P.M. and then plan your day around the afternoon, sundown and late night.

      The times I’ve been unfairly judged in Japan could partly be explained by people who look like me behaving like arseholes and causing the Japanese to look less favourably upon me as a result. I can understand it if not condone it.

    Ismael Ramsey Khalid [aka "Johnny Somali"] -- don't forget there have been over 30 different police call incidents in Japan... as well, since the King Moron films and streams everything, that's a ton of evidence -- including when the police finally let him go (or he runs away), he blatantly claims he owns them and everyone in Japan, and as an American he's allowed to do whatever he wants, and they can't stop him... Even during one recent police stop (just before the knockout punch incident) he was being questioned by police (again, recorded and streaming for evidence) where he said if they dared touch him or tried to stop him, that he would physically hurt them [the police]...
    So while they may have finally charged him with trespassing; that doesn't mean they haven't collected video records of all the other crimes, threats, and peace disturbances he has done -- so it wouldn't surprise me if they packed on other charges... The police in Japan don't like to prosecute unless they're pretty sure about getting a conviction -- and King Moron has provided them with months and months of all his crimes, racism, cowardice, threats, and intentional disrespect... So there's a good chance that simply being Deported and nothing else is the best he can hope for... Given all his past actions, the Japanese prison may be his home for a long time...

    Japanese Time Zone:
    Japan is actually in the correct timezone and is currently set according to its line of longitude, as it should be (UTC/GMT+9).
    The reason the sun sets sooner is because the majority of Japan lies at a lower latitude and therefore further away from the North Pole. The UK is considerably further North than Japan (even further north than Hokkaido) and therefore the sun sets considerably later, even in the south of the UK, compared to Japan. This is also why the UK has darker and more miserable winters.

If you're going North that's much more sensible than what I did, and if I (and my Dad, in 60s) can survive that, the North would likely be at least a little better. Having said that, if you can push it any later at all- do so. Even a week makes a lot of difference as we had friends travelling just ahead of us, and the heat was insane.

      I lived in Japan for 7 years. If you fly into Tokyo during July/August, prepare yourself for high temperatures plus humidity - minimum 80%, sometimes 90%. And as someone from Southern California, I can confirm wet heat is more uncomfortable (and dangerous, since sweating isn’t as effective) than dry heat. However! I’ve also been to Hokkaido in August (2019), and yes, it’s much less hot and humid in Sapporo. This may have changed since 2019 because of climate change and all, but yeah, if you want to avoid the sweltering heat, maybe try flying directly to Sapporo.

    I feel like there are aspects of Japan that are being credibly designed to have the kind of connoted aspiration of being 'like a theme park', I have heard people discussing the spate of construction that a lot of people assumed was for the olympics but ultimately turned out to simply... continue and arguably at a more heightened pace... I mean, it's not so much that you can call it that, it's not a joke but, in aspirational town planning, it is becoming accepted in a lot of countries to acknowledge the impact of tourism and to plan in such and such a manner as to be as hospitable as possible while at the same time shielding everyday life from the gratuitousness of some people's behaviour. Certainly, there is a new mainstream emerging, in my view as it relates to what is considered, 'everyday places' and what is considered 'tourism focused' but I mean, even within that bubble there are certain streams of desire as you credibly and others have probably made note of and obviously commented on over the years. Certainly, the population crunch puts a kind of strain on the country to become less of a foreboding migration destination and part of that is putting in place the kinds of amenities and safeguards that keep Japan statistically in the same field of low crime and high economic yield that it traditionally has been. I mean, there's an entire book on the subject or, many, to be had... it's a type of renaissance, for instance, out in the prefectures there is a greater push towards autosport tourism which is year by year, gaining traction so, I mean, I believe there is in some parts of society a desire to be envied around the world but at the same time, cultural alienation is the potential risk... so I mean, a book or many to be written... sorry about the length of the text... it's really just the tip of the iceberg...

A once overweight gym buddy of mine started lifting at the beginning of this year and has shown progress to some weight loss and muscle buildup, then did a challenge to specifically work on abs and chest for a six pack.
    Did it in 45 days. It just takes dedication and perseverance, and 3 months is a well enough amount of time to get a beautiful set of abs

You're eating boring, less than you're used, and it's not constant either; you have to adjust if you're losing weight too fast or too slow. It's hard.

    Lots of toll roads in the UK, like 20 or something? I'm always getting dinged there.

    12:30 Yes, It's cocky. 6 months is more realistic but also be aware that it might be physically impossible. Some people can only attain a 4 pack or even a 5 pack depending on the muscles that you have. Everyone is different and everyone gains and loses weight differently. Some people gain weight around the middle first and would have to go to extremes (like sub 1% body fat) to attain it.
    I would set the goal of trying to "gain definition" in the abs by focusing on exercise that strengthens the core. If you are one of the lucky few you might not need to do anything else.
