not bing able to understand what someone is saying to you is one of the most socially awkward things ever. But it's even worse with a language that you are familiar with and can speak and understand. Asking someone to repeat a sentance over and over until you understand them.. that's terrifying. Because at some point they're just gonna pull out a revolover and ask me how many bullets I want.

No idea what the Mario kart ride is actually like, but I'm imagining like a 5 rail system, with intersections every so often so you can steer, effectively choosing out of moving one lane left, one right, or staying put. Then you can maybe have 3 cars simultaneously and if two turn into the same track, the priority goes to the one who was on it already (unsure what would happen if both started from different lanes) and then sometimes certain tracks have item boxes, where shells can be used at intersections to force the opponent back '1 space' so now you have priority on a certain track, bananas are the same but to push someone behind further back, and are also left for the set of karts behind you if no one hits them, or mushrooms can be used mid track if no opponent is directly in front, to gain back lost spaces. Something like that. Then every decision can be made at these intersection things, keeping control from the ride perspective, but you as a rider feel like you had control too and you can also race friends and stuff and have a clear winner without needing points.

The cool thing about the Japanese claw machine centers is that if you're trying to win it, eventually either someone will notice, or you can ask for a little help. Like say an item got stuck, they can reposition it for you, or if they've noticed you've spent like $30, they might make it easier for you. It's kind of nice because it means they actually want you to win prizes so you come back. Most of the prizes are available online, so people playing really do enjoy the playing aspect. I think a decent majority of my Japanese figures used to be some sort of prize, rather than something meant for retail sale.

Those claw machines didn't used to be rigged, it was all about how they packed the toys. Back around 2000 I was really good at them, like ungodly. I could walk past them and pick the machines I could win on, put in a coin and win the toy. I've got like 30 soft toys at home I've won from them. One day though they stopped gripping and would always drop the toy and we realised it was programmed to only grab hard once every 10-15 tries, then I'd wait for people to lose a bunch, put in a couple of coins and get the "strong claw" and win. I did find this glorious one one day though, it was "megaclaw" or something and had a stacker game you played and if you won the stacker the claw would GUARANTEE a toy and they were like big ones too. The thing is the stacker was really easy, like you only had to get down to like 3 squares to win, so I won it 4x in a row. The machine must've sensed something was wrong because it stopped working after that and was flashing. So I went home happy with some giant Mario mushies and Pokemon. It was just randomly in a mall though, so I was like this 25yo dude with an arm full of plush toys walking through the shops.

Suica is great. You can use it to pay basically anywhere in major cities that aren't cash-only. Even better, you don't have to deal with the massive amount of coins you end up accumulating by using cash. And as a bonus, if you do end up with loads of change you can just pour it into the Suica reloading terminals and it will automatically sort it for you and convert to something you're actually going to spend, the trick is to not tell it the amount you want to load onto it so it just loads whatever you insert into.

I'm fairly sure the cards probably work with a chip, like those for most other countries with transport cards: there's no need for it to connect to the internet or anything, it just stores the amount of credit it has and changes it when interacting with the machines at the station, whether you're spending or refilling credit. Unless I missed something or there's something else they're capable of doing, it's probably as simple as that, which is pretty old and simple tech at this point (but very effective nonetheless).

Not sure how the Japanese cards work, but I have additional evidence to support William's hypothesis. Where I live, you can register your card online and be able to see a log of all past travels, so clearly the card readers report back to a central database. You can also refill the cards online, but the amount won't immediately show up on the card until you interact with a scanner several hours later, so it makes sense that there's a temporary value on the card, and a canonical true value in a database somewhere.

Suica uses RFID, similar to a Metrocard. The smart phone app version probably uses NFC (near-field) or something similar to handshake. (Also, you can use Suica to pay at conbini like 7-11 and a _ton_ of other places.) The big difference is: In Tokyo, you pay when you exit. Not ahead of time. There’s also a lot of regional and/or competitors like Pasmo (more in Sendai) and some that let you buy cigarettes and booze in vending machines. I recommend just loading your Suica up. Because negotiating Japanese ATMs is like playing a text-based RPG, and you’ll end up using the ATM *way* more than you think. (Don’t accidentally hit the option “I’d like to pay my electricity bill.” at the ATM. :) )

So if you wanna go all around Japan you almost have to get the Japan Rail Pass just because of the amount of money you save. For example you can buy it for a week for a couple hundred bucks or even three weeks but you can ride the Hikari Shinkansen for free (2nd fastest train). If you get one for three weeks it’s 450$. So if you go to Kyoto from Tokyo and back you’d spend around 160-180$ without the pass, and if you go to Fukuoka one way it will cost you over 200$, so the pass is definitely worth it.

Sorry cos In Singapore we have our train or we call them MRT cards called Ez-link cards which we need to go to a top up kiosk and add value to the card and it doesn’t delay the experience or no wait time it’s done immediately and the value is deducted from the card as you tap and go so I’m not sure if In the states it’s different but we’ve had this for years and it’s way more efficient. but now we can use our contactless bank cards or phones/watched with bank card details to tap and enter trains/buses
