Cantabs doing there best to screw over anyone who wanted a safe start to their multi this weekend

Homegrown, as in from 15 onwards. Can expect the migrated-to country has a had a reasonable role in producing the player, and has likely moved at an age earlier than pro contracts or scholarships.

Lets all agree on the term cis New Zealander, meaning born in NZ...

Vegans are just the absolute worst

Oops, sorry it looks like the baseball season finishes end of September, I thought I was October. Maybe they finished the season earlier than usual because of the RWC.

Still a chance to see games until the end of the September. There is a Giants home game at Tokyo Dome on 27/9, but there are other teams easily accessible via train in other parts of Tokyo - Baystars, Swallows, Lions, Marines.

I'm sure any Ferners travelling already know this, but it is baseball season in Japan. It is a great experience to attend a game - I've been to Yokohama to watch the BayStars in their stadium by the sea, and the Giants playing in Tokyo dome - both were awesome.

Just an option for something else to do in an evening.

Thread about strange Japanese architecture in the 80's - 90's

As someone who spends part of their job working on software upgrades, I know how easy it can be for things to go titsup, so great job avoiding that @Duluth
