Has anyone posted the link for the webcam of Tokyo Tower? If not, here it is: http://www.nttls.co.jp/webcam/ It's controllable as well.

Thanks.

I guess I'll have to wait a few hours. The only thing I'm seeing is red blur with a black background.

but do wear them, to impress the nerdie girls that are hot, if they're any of them around campus? lol so, they are just reading glasses then?

mostly for when I drive and when I'm in classrooms.

Sometimes I wear it when I'm walking around outside.

If I go Japan, I needa wear them for sure. To see the sights

yeah, i was trying to view the different locations you can pick, and it was hard to see anything, but i did see some car's headlights and that it is nighttime there...but not very clearly.
i cannot wait for the daytime viewing.

i guess around Summertime, the sun comes out there super early...
like around 4:30am-5am, cause when i was there last late May, i was up the first morning super early, and it was already daylight, and the crows were up too, talking nonsense....

well you know how in japan it's customary to clean yourself first using a shower or other fixture and then soak in the bathtub...well the average person there is probably shorter than your average westerner too.

haha i guess....in any event don't know if you've seen kimi wa petto starring koyuki and jun matsumoto...koyuki's character is this highly educated, well-paid woman...in her apartment she has this gorgeous bathroom with this awesome bathtub...it looked expenisve and uxurious.

It's one of the thing I was wondering about. Unless I'm mistaken, looks like everybody takes a bath, but with the same water. I was wondering how the hell can they cleaned themselves, if your soaking in 3 other people's filth. So, you clean yourself with the shower, than relax in the bathtub, right? It makes more sense that way.

Their showers don't have doors or enclosures. You wash yourself in the middle of the bathroom?

i don't think it's evident from the picture but that is just the bathing enclosure....the toilet and sink are probably in an adjacent area...but yeah
it's customary to clean yourself outside the bathtub first usually using a low water fixture that calls for you to sit down on a stool or little bench while lathering and rinsing off ...THEN you enter the heated bathtub to soak...it's practically the same everywhere...public bathhouses, onsen, and private homes...

[littlemissfab]

isn't it how it goes? shower first before soak?



that's how i have been doing it as long as i can remember...

[dochira]

^ That's how it is. All soap must be gone before soaking.

[littlemissfab]

^ does it mean some people do it the other way around and soak in their own filth?

no tabana was just referring to family members using the same bathtub one after another....he was just curious regarding repeated use of the same water...that's how it's done because everybody is scrubbed clean first, outside the tub.
