Off Topic Holidays

On a recent holiday abroad there was a sign next to the pool which said “No large floaters in the pool”

 

So rabbit pellets is fine?

 

Having a cracking time in Japan, and what I wasn’t expecting is that it’s not too expensive.

Just had a meal at a little vegan restaurant in Tokyo in a bit with the loads of expensive designer shops etc and 2 courses each for two of us, with Mrs Tash having one soft drink and me having a couple of large beers, was £33.

Considering where is was that seemed very decent, and despite doing all the tourist spots I haven’t paid more that £5 a pint anywhere.

EDIT - what reminded me was I’m sat in the hotel bar drinking FREE whiskey. A nice daily ‘very happy’ hour routine

 

What beers are on offer den??

 

Asahi
Kirin
Sapporo
A fair few craft IPAs which are good.
You can get more usual stuff of course but I’m sticking to local

 

Don’t like asahi too dry
Willing to try the others tho
Enjoy

 

I’m willing to try any of them!

 

Are you finding it a bit quiet after the vibrant 24 hour city of Hull?

 

Found the Osaka branch of the HCAFC supporters club…I assume

 

Using my limited knowledge of the Japanese language, I believe that sign says "Hull Tigers Marketing Department - established by Assem Alam 2014".

 

I also found Asahi for less than £1 a glass! (Not quite a pint, but bigger than a 330ml bottle)

 

If only you had a City sticker to put on the bike!

 

I always assumed Japan would be expensive for food and drink. Bargain.

 

I've still got Fish Out, Sack Dolan and Allam Out stickers, they'd confuse them.

 

That place was excessively cheap, but everywhere’s been cheaper than I expected, most cheaper than Hull and everywhere much cheaper than London

 

Just noticed an even cheaper bar, right opposite our hotel. Kirin beer…89p

Like you I’d expected it to be pricey, especially in tourist areas of big Cities, but turns out not.
