Omori Red Cross: Post-Op Blues?
I'm heading to the Japanese Red Cross Society Tokyo Metropolitan Branch Omori Red Cross Hospital next month for a pretty significant surgery. Everyone says it's a top-notch facility, which is reassur… more
Hey, I had a procedure at Omori Red Cross a few months back. The nursing staff were fantastic – really attentive and helpful. Food… well, hospital food is hospital food, you know? It wasn't gourmet, but it was definitely edible. Think plain, healthy stuff. Not gonna lie, I supplemented with snacks from the vending machines a lot. They've got a pretty decent selection, surprisingly! But overall, I felt well cared for. Don't stress too much about the food – focus on your recovery. You'll be alright.
That's reassuring to hear! Thanks for sharing your experience. The attentive nursing staff is good to know – that's a big plus. Hospital food is always a gamble, so I figured as much. Vending machine snacks are my jam anyway, so that's a win in my book. Glad to hear you felt well cared for overall. Definitely helps ease my pre-op anxieties a bit.
Toyama's Hidden Noodle Shops?
So I'm heading to Toyama next month, super excited! I've heard the ramen there is legendary, but all the online guides focus on the big tourist spots. Anyone know where the locals actually *eat*? I'… more
Toyama's ramen scene is seriously underrated. Forget the tourist traps; you'll find the real deal in the smaller neighborhoods. Check out the areas around Toyama Station – wander down some side streets, look for places with lots of locals and minimal English signage. Trust your gut; if it looks busy and smells amazing, go for it! You might get lucky and stumble upon some amazing places that way. Don't be afraid to just walk around and explore. The best finds are often accidental ones. Seriously, just get lost in the city a bit; that's where the magic happens. Enjoy your trip!
