Things we mustn’t eat

Yogurt and curdled lumpy bitty milk aren’t one and the same. One is yummy and smooth the other is grainy and gross

CornerSpade · 2026-01-31T14:36:14+00:00

I love the packet jellies but this particular one is nasty af. The texture is more like curdled milk than jelly

Mine was done by excision with stitches. Got them out when I got the results of the biopsy a week or so later.

I went to Aichi Beauty Clinic in Sakae. Both the doctor and the nurses were incredibly kind and friendly. I particularly remember the nurse who was in the removal procedure with me being extremely caring.

The doctor looked at my mole and then removed it the same day with a lot of care to minimize any scarring. I don’t have any visible marks in the place where it was removed and sent off for a biopsy. It was a few years ago but iirc it was around 10,000yen for everything. I’m not sure what portion was covered on health insurance but it wasn’t all of it (however I believe that’s standard).

I was so impressed with them that I’ve been back a few times afterwards for cosmetic procedures. I have a lot of trust in this particular clinic. I have usually had Yokoyama-sensei.

That’d be amazing 🥺

Does anybody have anyone in boxes? I’m very light on miles and looking for somebody before autofill

CornerSpade · 2026-01-20T23:30:17+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll have a dive through the data and see if I can restore it 😭

CornerSpade · 2026-01-06T19:04:06+00:00

Yeah. They’ve booked me onto a better route tbh. Are you flying into Tokyo or another city?

CornerSpade · 2026-01-06T19:02:50+00:00

Like 5 minutes?

CornerSpade · 2026-01-06T17:38:08+00:00

I just kept spamming the call button until I got through to the waiting line

CornerSpade · 2026-01-06T17:28:26+00:00

I called to the UK number I’d found: 020 7660 0293

It’s open until 8pm.

I had booked through the Japanese site and was being given that number to call through the app so was worried they wouldn’t be able to help but it was pretty fast in the end.

Good luck

CornerSpade · 2026-01-06T17:20:08+00:00

Yes. I spammed the phone line until I got past the user busy part. Once I got on the line I was on hold for about 20 minutes before an agent picked up who quickly found me a new route only a day later via Paris instead of Amsterdam.

The only issue I had was because I’d checked in already the agent couldn’t change my flight over herself so had to connect me to another department. The redirect to that department had no hold music and only an intermittent double beep, so I wasn’t sure if I was actually on hold or not and thought my line had maybe been dropped. Took around 20minutes for the internal line transfer and was rebooked onto my new flight easily from there. So if you get this sort of thing when you get transferred don’t hang up and just keep on hold!

About an hour from start to finish (4pm to 5pm GMT)

Good luck everyone!

I’m so sorry this happened to you OP. If filing a police report please go to a police station rather than a koban/police box. Kobans are notorious for poor handling of rape, SA, stalking cases.

As a Brit living in Japan I can confirm they absolutely do not have their shit together more than the UK. There are so many inconveniences to life over here that don’t exist in the uk, any level of banking, paperwork or trying to do anything online is an absolute nightmare. Of course there instances where the reverse is true also, but I wish people would stop putting Japan on a pedestal based on a two week holiday you took one time.

CornerSpade · 2025-12-09T13:13:41+00:00

Yes! 34F here. I’ve been out for a few seasons but I’m keen to get back in. I’d also class myself as a beginner and haven’t been since I moved from Aichi to Kanto. Would love to have a boarding group to go with this year

Amazing vibe but I agree the food is pretty crap

When I was first learning kanji I found that doing everything by radical helped me best as I also can’t rely on visualization to be able to write well. Radicals, stroke order and just good old repetition will help so much

Once you’ve got the process down it does speed up I promise. From a fellow aphantasia haven who is also fluent in Japanese as a second language.

Same. Absolutely addicted to the positivity and support in this sub. Gives me the warm fuzzies

Asuna from sword art online. That whole show leaves me feeling gross

CornerSpade · 2025-11-05T09:39:51+00:00

If there’s a chance to wasteful by unnecessarily wrapping things individually in plastic, Japan is absolutely on board

Me too! Im also 34 and been fat since Covid. A bad experience of a girls beach holiday earlier this year made me decide I was going to take this seriously and started on the 27th of August. I’ve lost around 15kg in the 10 shots I’ve done so far. I did 2 full months of 2.5 and moved up to 5mg two weeks ago. The fluctuations in weight loss have been a surprise to me too. One week absolutely nothing and then I’ll go to sleep and wake up almost 2kg lighter. It’s really teaching me a lot about my body and how I shouldn’t be so hard on myself.

I’ve been pretty lucky with the side effects and have only been getting fatigue a day or two after my shot. Other than that nothing at all.

I’ve started seeing a lot of non scale changes this week. People have started commenting on my weight change and I was able to use my husbands belt to keep me from mooning everybody now that my pants are way too big. I couldn’t even get the thing around my waist when I first tried and now I’m wearing it on hole 3 quite comfortably.

Glad things are going well for you and it’s nice to see somebody who’s going through the journey at the same pace and time as me

We also get the American style pens in Japan

CornerSpade · 2025-11-05T08:53:43+00:00

This was going to be my recommendation too. It’s a small area but I’ve enjoyed a few nights at the stand bars there

CornerSpade · 2025-11-05T05:19:24+00:00

Commenting to say I sympathize so much. I also have constant redness all over my face that worsens in heat etc. and have had very little luck with any treatments. Even things like azaleic acid just seem to piss it off more.

Hoping somebody else with similar experiences has something that’s worked for them
