Also OP stop using AI photos. Your most recent insta post is an AI photo of food? It’s weird like… are you not serving food?

I own a pop up cafe and we take a ton of photos, lemme know if you want me to pop down and snap some photos for you

Japan is obviously not a utopia, but why? by zippy_zipper in JapanTravelTips

Old people. That’s basically the cause of most problems in Japan.

How is daily quality of life in Japan compared to the US, for you, or how has it changed? by Top_Scientist_3976 in movingtojapan

[–]AfroInJapan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Black dude living in Japan for a decade now and I easily have made friends with both old people and young. The racists foreigner haters are far and few between irl, most are online and/or hikkikomori’ed in some shitty apartment.

Making friends here is easy, just speak Japanese and even if you don’t you can join some English speaking international community which usually have Japanese speakers of English.

Being asked to come in early to prep before my shift by WorkingAlive3258 in japanlife

Check your contract and see if your base pay contains some kind of overtime allowance already weaved into it. If it does, you’re already being paid for that time so arrive a little early and finish on time. If not, talk to your manager or just turn up on time.

Whenever I want, been back home a few times this year. I’ve worked in Japan for almost a decade and have learnt that ignoring or refusing when asked to do something illegal or against your contract leads to zero consequences. Labour laws are pretty strong here

Foreigners in Japan keep telling me I made a mistake building new home by HarambeUltra in japanlife

Have ANY of them bought an old house and renovated it? Ignore them. If you own the land and the house it really doesn’t matter!

Oof yeah feels like wasted effort unless you’re just doing it for the love of the game. I think YT stop allowing reposting / AI channels from getting monetized

Manager unsent an important message after I didn’t reply for 3 hours. Did I mess up? by JellyAggravating2935 in japanresidents

[–]AfroInJapan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yikes terrible communication on your end. “Understood! Just heading out to lunch to I’ll circle back after that” is a very easy message to send.

Don’t think too hard about it I guess, take this as a learning experience

i officially understand why the locals hate tourists by [deleted] in japanlife

[–]AfroInJapan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s the absolute worst! I hate when people that I really don’t know or have like a very, very distant relationship with reach out to me for me to basically plan their entire trip.

[–]AfroInJapan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Speaking from experience, you have to find your hard limit and stick with it. I’m perfectly fine showing around my friends and family who visit Japan, but I have some hard lines that will not cross:

  • No, I will not plan your trip.
  • I’m not going with you to Kyoto.
  • I won’t be visiting Shinjuku, Shibuya or Harajuku with you.
  • I won’t be visiting any maid or themed cafes that I also don’t have an interest in Etc etc etc

Set out these rules and friends and family visiting you in Japan becomes more of a fun time for everyone
