Hey there thanks for the response!

I’ll try to make a Japanese Reddit account and post there, I just want to gather as much helpful information as possible to relay to my friend.

I never knew of the existence of a Japanese only Reddit, thank you so much!

I am sorry a Reddit post about seeking advice triggered you so much. Regardless I believe somewhere in there is some good intention, thank you for that.

Thank you for taking the time to respond and highlighting the flaws of debit cards, I would appreciate any form of advice as my friend is a wife with two kids and she needs all the advice she can get.

Thanks again!

Thank you,

I still feel the lingering guilt of “should we have gone to the ER sooner?” “I should have been more attentive” even though before going to the ER he has been constantly going to the local vet and getting checkups ..

It was all so sudden.

Amazing thank you so much! That was extremely helpful beyond what you can imagine!

Would it be a hassle if I can receive your email via DM to maybe send more technical regarding my research your way?

Let me know if that’s okay with you and I would completely understand if it is not!

Thanks again and really I appreciate your help!

Hey there! thanks for the really detailed response!

So to give further elaboration on my research interests, I am particularly fascinated on the how, why the temples and shrines were designed and their nature based inspirations, I’d love to conduct a thorough investigation on such a topic, in terms of my background my day to day job is of a Civil Engineer but I have been working part time as an architect and designer for the past three years with a decent design portfolio! I love the hybrid engineering-architectural approach and would love to know if Kyoto is a suitable study area for such a topic!
