Hello from Japan

[brett sinclair]

Hi all !

A new guy from Japan here ^^

I came to this very recently and I've been browsing a lot to figure out that what I used to think before was a galaxy far far away from the reality I see in this forum, a lot of passionate guys (any girls ?) about nice watches and the real quality reps seems to have now. Well I haven't have any but hope this should be just a matter of time to get a nice timepiece (I have a preference for GMT's). By the way, a big thank for the valuable pieces of information about scam sites and other bad stuff
In Japan, customs tend to be very severe regarding parcels from China (even if some TDs say it ain't so...) so I I'll check anyway what are the real risks here before making the next step, but I guess this is more or less the same everywhere, right ?
Japan is a very nice place to live (I am in Tokyo)... now they cut off all the nuclear plants here :-D

Cheers

konichiwa bro, sucks about the customs. But at least you can go window shop all the beautiful boutiques in Tokyo!

Welcome mate, what are you doing in Japan?

 

[grejyedi]

Dude that nuke plant is still active

Fukushima reactor No. 4 vulnerable to catastrophic collapse; could unleash 85 times Cesium-137 radiation of Chernobyl; human civilization on the brink

You should read natural news http://www.naturalnews.com/035789_Fukushima_Cesium-137_Plume-Gate.html

Yeah I know, that Fukushima thing still a real danger. We don't know how all this is gonna end... maybe we'll be all a new kind of Bruce Banner here oh, by the way I think I won't need lume for my new watch, I am superlume myself !
Nevertheless, let's stay positive and... radicaoctive ?

@trailboss99 : I m working there, for quite a long time.

@investinwaffles
Hello ! it depends on what you are into. as for tourism, if you stay only in Tokyo then I recommend you visit Asakusa on the day and maybe Roppongi district for the night life
if you like modern architecture, then Shinjuku would be a good option. and if you want to do some watches window shopping (new and used), try Ueno and Okachimahi (you might even get duty free as a tourist
