no shiet...it's kinda ridiculous.....might as well not even have a uniform if you're going to let the skirts get that short.....there's not much uniform there....


Ehh... it's their own choice... the skirts are sold around knee length or so, they just hike them up all the way under their breasts to wear them like that...

Nice photos... erm, I guess I could share some from a techno concert that I did some security for in Odaiba... long night...




Damn, I look haggard there... oh well, it was 4am, I had allergies, and it was a long day at work earlier...

Hey I found out where I can get money exchanged for less then the bank..

lol I was coming back home and was at the Newwark airport, so I was curious and asked the lady who was asian btw, if they had a mimimum I had to transfer in money, she said they don't have a limit but they do charge a $5 processing fee, I would of exchanged some money but all I had was like $80's in $1's and I had to pay $60 for parking at the Hilton..

Maybe I can find a local place around here where they don't have a Mimimum of $500 you need to bring in order to exchange.

ATMs at the post offices work just fine, even with foreign cards... They don't charge a fee (as far as I know).

hell yeah, maid-fetish.

while in japan, my friend and i were going to check out "Malish" maid-manga cafe, but didn't have enough time in Akihabara, and didn't help that it took awhile to find out the stores we wanted to check out on anime/manga stuff. Bonk perhaps next time i will check out some manga-maid cafes in Akihabara.

@Tu_triky,

have a question, that girl i met in Japan is coming to visit her friends near my area. She and i have been emailing each other lately. Do you think it is too much if i ask her if she is available to hang out if she is free?? Do you think it is ok if i leave my contact info just in case for her if she wants to hang out. I met her only once in japan and she is here for two weeks visiting friends.

She is a nice girl, and i don't want to seem too forward, she has been emailing me lately. I want to continue my friendship with her.
Bonk

lol you misunderstood big time hehe

I asked the lady what was the mimuium amount at the airport, Not saying this amount I would go to Japan with lol...

I think I would take 700 or 800 with me in USD and then exchange it to JPN.

and the last bank I asked as the old First Union bank.. they could not exchange money at the counter, I had to fill out this fourm and they would mail the money to me in 4 weeks.. I never forgot that beause I thought that was odd.

of course it's not too forward...i would imagine that she would be more than willing to see you given the proxmity of her friends to where you live...i think it would only be natural to at least have lunch or something...it's not like you're going to elope right...hehe Sweat

yeah i'd drop a fone number or sumptin'....n' say if you wanna kick it just give me a buzz and let me know if and when you are free....even if u don't hang out with her one-on-one maybe you can hang with her and her friends.

have fun!

after I heard that I did not bother to ask another bank again.. But now that I'm with Bank Of America I wonder what they would say..

I'm thinking about opening another account at Another Bank..

My mom is, I don't know how to say it... using a little too much of my money..

So I have to Split my money into 2 banks, going to try and keep this new account as low key as possible..

I don't know How I'm going to get pass the Statements they send in the mail.
