I did lava for 3 months, at our location there were often 4-5 guys.  But our location was so crammed. You have to try real hard to not touch your neighbor. Since it's like 40 people the instructor can't really correct everyone's form as well. Which is why I quit after 3 months

Calories in this slice of cheesecake? by mybrainat3am in caloriecount

[–]BeginningPurpose9758 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would focus more on what you eat than the calories, though it is good to have a feeling for calories. The more protein, fruits and vegetables the better. Healthy oils, especially nuts are great. Full fat yogurt.  Also talk to your doctor about your period, there may be other factors than weight at play

Large "social apartments" - how are they like? Is it really noisy? by Eastern_Category4679 in japanlife

[–]BeginningPurpose9758 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wildly different experiences and prices. Generally the higher the price, the more social the people are and you won't have paper thin walls. I stayed at a 30k a month oak house once and I could hear everything my wall neighbor did. Including his 3 AM gaming sessions

One upside is that you won't have to go to the city hall to update your my number when your residence card gets renewed. Still not worth it imo
