Vegas had cool shows and entertainment. I miss Penn and Teller, and the short flight was nice. Vegas had some nice desert hikes.

But here I am in Japan downing a bowl of ichiran ramen and planning a walk through the torii gates tomorrow. The yen is pretty cheap right now too.

(Well not NOW now, it's 4am)

The USA ain't worth the effort or the risk, and they don't respect us.

    That sounds like an honestly awful fucking thing to pay for when you could just go to Japan like imagine going to Las Vegas Vegas instead of Japan I can’t

    Vegas was cheap, close, and had a lot of good shows.

    You could go there a few days without a 12 hour flight and jet lag. Often had deals subsidized by gamblers.

    I can fly to Kelowna or Victoria for a long weekend, but they're not going to have Cirque du Soleil exclusive shows.
