11/03 - Japan Culture Day, Friday!

Nah, but I some have friends who have lived there for years at a time, as well as some who have visited. These are their stories. (*Law and Order SVU sound*)

 

TO Is still active, but you should hit up http://www.turkerview.com (shameless plug) for much more detailed reviews

a book from 1982 ._.

the 18 months i was there, i never had a bad experience as a foreigner. I never achieved proficiency in japanese, but what i did learn was always welcomed, and they helped. They found it exciting. I havent been in about 4 years, so if something has drastically changed, then i'm unaware.

 

Where did you go (specifically)?

Yeah, from my understanding, they think it's cute when you're clearly clueless and inept.
But they start to distrust you a bit more as you become proficient.
Not being proficient myself, I can only relay stories.

 

TO is still active and shitty like always. https://turkerview.com/ is our project here and it is turning out a lot better so far.

Honestly I would suggest removing your old TO scripts and extensions and installing http://mturksuite.com/ It does a lot of things besides TO although it is a work in progress.

While just a few weeks ago I would have suggested otherwise the dev is back from the dead so it should be updated again before we move over to worker.

 

Japan did a lot of restructuring/branding in the 90's to support tourism. FWIW.

 

i was stationed in yokosuka, went to tokyo on the weekends, as well as surrounding places (the smaller towns), then i was also stationed in okinawa and traveled the island when i could.

 

TV hates me and my password

 

They are also attempting to make the whole place English friendly before the olympics.

 

Heads up if you did the $7 Coaching Study, many have gotten rejections

Most of Toyko service workers speak English. If you wander off of Tokyo, that's a different story, but if you are from a city-like environment, maneuvering around is not difficult.

 

I was also stationed in yokosuka. A few months before I arrived there was an incident and the entire year I was there I had a midnight curfew.

sigh

 

I'm really liking this too. The only time I check TO at all is if I'm about to go HAM on an unknown batch and am looking for mass rejections.

 

Yeah @ChrisTurk it keeps logging me out on TV and I admit that I have decided to not post a review because I was logged out again.

I use my username and it still logs me out.

 

If you guys start fighting this early in the morning over something stupid, I'm gonna crack a hockey stick over someone's head*



*Spoiler alert, it will be my head.

 

Nope. TV hates me.
