How to SHOCK the natives without having to become fluent in a rare language: pretend to be an English speaking tourist, and then reveal you're actually a NATIVE FRENCH SPEAKER mid conversation.

(This is an actual Tiktok I saw).

I've seen it in other contexts where they weren't using Kansai dialect. Mainly only fictional characters.

Obviously they'll understand me either way, but which one will make them more *bikkurishita*?

The main private commuter lines are just as good or better than JR, and not more expensive (rural JR seems worse anyway, eg in Mie Kintetsu seems better than JR. But I was only there breifly). But in the UK everyone says it's rubbish because of privatisation. Though Germany is also bad but I think that's public. I assume it's more complicated and about management and stuff.

They're supposed to be a Japanese family. It's important because it means that it was just Fransisca who grew up in America, and not where her family's from, so it's her unique achievement. It never specifies the circumstances, so technically she could have lived there with her mother, but either way, her career in America is her own acheivement, even though she was taught by her father in Japan, it shows that she's actually independent even by game 2. The way I've seen fans talk about it is that her father and Edgeworth 'left her behind' by going to a different country, but it's not supposed to be like that at all. She was really insecure because of her father's acheivements, but other than being immature and young she wasn't actually behind. Changing it was actually detrimental to her character.

There's no indication that Manfred ever lived in America, bevause it's always mentioning his 40 year career and fame in Japan. And in gk1.4, it mentions Fransisca coming to visit him in Japan on the holidays, so she obviously lived with other relatives or a boarding school in America. (Though Gumsho mentioned her being 'born and raised in America', so it's possible that maybe her mother moved there and Manfred just stayed there for a short time, or maybe Gumsho was wrong and she actually just went to school there, because she was taught by her father, alongside Edgeworth).

By the way there's also no indication that Edgeworth grew up overseas, and it's sort of contradictory. His career immediately started in Japan, and studying abroad before the first game is never mentioned, even though it's mentioned for a lot of other characters. But it's mentioned that he goes to study specifically in America after game 1, to get a new perspective on different justice systems, which wouldn't really make sense if he'd already studied there. In gyakuten kenji it also mentioned he got the opportunity through a connection with Manfred's old friend who was also Japanese. If he'd already studied in America he wouldn't have needed that connection.

Edit: this has startedsteadily being downvoted, I was just trying to civilly point the changes out and express my opinion, but looks like everyone here fucking hates me. Well, let's see if we can get to -30.

For example the Kobe-Nara commuter train is hanshin on the Kobe side of Osaka, then in Nanba they seem to include them all in the same ticket gates (except like nankai and stuff), then on the Nara side it's Kintetsu? So does the fare on the Kobe side of Nanba go to hanshin, the Nara side goes to Kintetsu, and they divide it after it's been paid? And who owns the trains?

Obviously I'm going to visit the district court and the public prosecuters office. I wonder if they do tours. Even if they don't, I'll go inside on my own. I'll post lots of photos. Might as well visit the family court snd ministry of justice since they're near by. But what other locations should I visit? I also want to do a tour of the police station, the detention centre and the jail. I hope I get to see a serial killer and some corrupt lawyers. If I go and watch a trial maybe I'll even get to see the lawyers arrested?

Qwerty pinyin is too annoying cause I always make typos, in English it doesn't matter cause the predictive text gives the right spelling, but in Chinese if you make a typo it just doesn't suggest the character so you have to backspace. With the small keys, and especially using my phone on busses and stuff, I always make loads of typos. I tried the grid one, but I don't really like how you have to select the pinyin then the characters, or go through way more characters. At least at my low level of Chinese it's annoying. But I need a pinyin keyboard so I learn it by typing. A 3x4 pinyin flick keyboard (like the Japanese hiragana one but with pinyin) would be convenient. The keys are bigger so less typos, mostly only the flick not going when the keyboard lags. And it's easy to get used to. But apparently it doesn't exist, at least on android.

Is there like a review site or something? I heard that quality varies. I tried looking it up but it just said ask someone you know, but I don't know anyone that well. I think some countries have review sites, even for a different fully public system. But the only times I've ever gone to a doctor/dentist in my life before was the one my mum uses, the one at on campus uni, the one the English speaking medical help service referred me to, and the private one that said they could do my form on really short notice. I've got no idea how to choose one that won't be bad. At least in Japan I understand there isn't a public/private seperatation, and any can take my insurance, and what's covered or not is designated and not up to the clinic. But I don't want to end up with a bad one.

I've already watched UK ones, I feel like watching something else. I know there's lots of European ones but don't know of any specific ones, except The Tunnel, where I found the plot engaging, but didn't like how it was done thematically. Not really into edgey violent thriller, though I don't mind if the story is done well. I like human drama (not like soap opera, but human drama is used for detective shows in Japanese, even though I've never heard it in English, the words are English) and mystery. But I'd prefer stuff that's fairly entertaining/fun to watch and not too slow paced. Comedy/dramedy is fine too. Also open to non European countries, but not USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand. (But open to Ireland.)

I saw a post on this sub asking for it in English, but those subs are really annoying because it's English on top but you can see the Japanese underneath. I don't want to pay 2000¥ for wowow tv for whatever.
