Kashiwa Open 2008 Results (3x3 WRs)

[Inusagi]

I knew it would come. Now your first sub 9 solver! Congrats!

congratulations, Nakaji! Anyone have filmed all the (WR) average?

 

[Alex DiTuro]

Huh? What!!!??? A Sub-9????? (SMASH!!! Ow...) Sorry, That loud thud was my jaw dropping.. XD

Only if brilliant minds like Yu Nakajima's could be put to something useful... Hmmm......

Cubing's pretty useful. It's gotten me out of some pretty precarious situations.

 

[Alex DiTuro]

"Precarious"??? Using big words I don't understand... Spoken like a true speedcubist...

 

[pcharles93]

Hmm, I see. Your vocabulary is not articulate as my diction which is very diverse.

I see that the Kashiwa Open was held at the Kashiwa Civic Hall. I don't speak much Japanese at all, but I have visited Kashiwa recently and intend to return, so I'm curious where the venue is. If my travel plans line up with the next event, I would enjoy competing in the next open.

Again, since I am not good at Japanese, my understanding of Kashiwa's geography is very poor. Even how the street signs work is a mystery to me, since they are all labeled in Kanji.

In relation to the Kashiwa train station, where is the Civic Hall? Is it within walking distance, or would I need to find some other form of transportation to get there?

Thanks to anyone who can help.

Brian.

I don't think Nakajima is a genius as much as just insanely fast and good at cubing. I want to keep seeing world-record times from him! Don't ever stop !

I picture Alex DiTuro getting flogged quite a bit...

Hey, keep those thoughts out of this forum! There are kids here!

Kashiwa Civic Hall

Hello,

It is on the east side of Kashiwa station and close to Kahiwa Park.

It takes about 30 minutes on foot from the station.
Buses run between them about once an hour.

Anyway, if you ask where it is after you come back to Japan, someone will show you how to get there.

I am looking forward to meeting you at a competition in Japan!

^ Takeyourmark,

Thank you so much for your reply.

I don't know if my travel dates will line up with the next open, but if they do, I look forward to meeting you and other Japanese cubers. As far as I can tell, the last one had no one from outside of Japan. It would be interesting to be that one person.

Thanks again,

Brian.

This is so true. When I was in Japan, you ask anyone for directions, and if they know, they will go out of their way to show you!

Well, you didn't "Hear," as this is over the internet, and just plain text. But you did read correctly.
