  • I see a lot of people having sink plungers next to their toilets. That might work for some things, but they might as well be using any other object.

    When a pipe is clogged it’s basically impossible to push anything through. It’s stuck for a reason. The pushing motion might compress the clog somewhat, but it’s really the pulling which causes it to move backwards and hopefully unclog it. This usually requires a plunger that actually seals the opening, or you’ll have to push and pull until the water itself gets in motion to pull back the clog.

    Another trick for unclogging toilets is to fill a bucket of water and pour it in a steady stream from as high as you can reach. Obviously start pouring from the seat and then lift the bucket while pouring. The gravity from the height will create a very strong narrow stream with enough force to pierce through or wash back the clog.





  • Shibuya Sky is a must see. You’ll need to buy tickets in advance to guarantee that you can get up there.

    I’d also recommend the art exhibition/experience called Team Labs. It’s difficult to explain what it is, but I believe anyone of any age would enjoy it. https://www.teamlab.art/e/planets/ Make sure to get tickets in advance and be on time.

    That’s really the key for everything. There’s always a lot of people in Tokyo, and all of them have to eat, so if you want anything that is not McDonald’s you’ll need to reserve a table. It’s not super difficult to get, but you just need to book in advance.




  • I think it’s impossible to assume anything at all. With cultural, age and gender differences, it’s difficult to figure out what the intentions of another person are, unless they state them clearly. Neither you or he did that.

    As a guy, I can assure you that guys do not understand subtle hints or can even logically deduce where this casual acquaintance is going from what you have already described.

    You’ll need to be very clear. Maybe then he will also tell or show you his own intentions more clearly.

    But first you need to know yourself what you actually want to hang out with this guy for and if it’s worthwhile maintaining the friendship for whatever reason. It makes sense if you have mutual interests or benefits from keeping in touch. However, my best guess based on your description of him offering a back massage is that he might have more romantic intentions than you. In that case it’s best for both of you to be brutally clear and end his hopes instead of “friend-zoning” him. It might feel unpleasant, but it’s crucial to be clear. If he reacts negatively, well, there’s your answer.
