With nearly 600,000 international visitors in the 2023/2024 financial year, Te Papa is expected to earn an additional $5-$10 million per year from the move. That figure takes into account free entry for under 16s and group discounts, along with some visitors slipping through the cracks.
It also accounts for children who don’t have to pay.
Yep! So convenient /s
It sucks, yes. But, if you select the “web” tab instead of the “all” tab at the top of the page, you’ll get something more akin to what you’re looking for. There’s probably even a way to script it so that it defaults to that view.
At least half the money is used for the guest’s experience (food, open bar and so on) including return gifts (as is the norm in Japan). This is generally a gift catalog which guests can choose an item from. It is surprisingly fun as it feels like you’re not the one spending more way. They have catalogs of different values to need individuals’ needs.
Close friends will often plan surprise acts to be performed during the wedding (singing or dancing and so on). So it is not entirely up to the host.
It is still customary to invite one’s boss and co-workers too. So yeah, it is culturally different from western countries I guess.
Sounds practical. Who wants to go into debt for a wedding?!
That’s true. If you just want to get married without a ceremony, you can do it for free here. It’s also common to get married on paper months before the actual party/ceremony which is great for getting name changes and other affairs in order before the actual wedding ceremony, which can reduce stress.
Meh it’s normal in Japan. Although rather than actually setting a price, it is just a cultural norm to gift money. ¥30,000 (about 200 USD right now) is the basic minimum, but it goes up based on relationship. If you plan and negotiate with venues well, you can end up paying nothing out of pocket.
If you’re open to something a little different, Japanese fried chicken is awesome and very simple to make. This recipe works well for me.
Oh yeah, you got me there. Didn’t consider that you were implying that. Whoops! My bad. I’ll leave the above comment though in case others find it useful somehow. Thanks!
Articles (a/an/the) are supposed to be omitted from news headlines, so nothing to fix here. You can check the rules for writing headlines here have a great day!

Thanks for the awesome update just now. I’m sorry, I haven’t gotten around to figuring out how to use GitHub. I hope this will get seen.
When not using the system font size, some parts are rendered in an odd size compared to before.
Also, I can’t find the sort by new option anymore.
Also, long post titles are making the compact view less compact (maybe due to the font issue).
On an unrelated note, my .world account still cannot enable notifications but my other ones can. It just hangs on the spinning progress wheel. I am not sure how to go about fixing it anymore.
I really appreciate all you have done. Also, there was no reason to apologise for taking a hiatus. This should be a project of passion not a job.
I hope I have not come across as demanding. I am loving what you guys are doing.
I’ll try to learn GitHub so I can post bugs in your preferred manner.
Thank again!
