@ksteeno @serpentst0ne My mom stopped using IC and now just pays the girl that delivered to her (from IC) directly to do her grocery shopping from time to time. She pays her better than IC did and she trusts her more.

I knowwwww exchange rate blah blah blah but when people say “ Tokyo Disney is so cheap! Water is only $1.25! Popcorn buckets are only like $20! A ticket is only $60!!” FOR YOU. FOR Y’ALL IT IS. IT’S STILL EXPENSIVE FOR THOSE OF US WHO LIVE IN JAPAN AND GET PAID IN JPY.

Someone legit left a baby outside in Golden Gai, Shinjuku, while they went inside and had a pint. I circled this place for like 45 minutes and it was still there when I came back.
