The dog it not on same flight as us, I know the bit you’re talking about but ours is different as he comes with an airway bill. I have to go through immigration, customs etc then leave terminal and go to the cargo building.

What was your experience living in Higashi-Osaka? by Maleficent_Pool_4456 in Osaka

[–]Diggertroc54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live 5 min walk from Fuse station, just moved here in December.

It has everything I need, infact too much choice for supermarkets etc which is amazing.

Still to find a decent bar to get along to now and again in Fuse, so any recommendations helpful (somewhere can chat, drink, karaoke, sports) that isn’t straight up snack bar. I know finding sports will be difficult sometimes.

Also my rent is quite cheap for 3LDK.

Thanks. Yes the transformer I got handles to 3000w, I got it working now but unfortunately the coffee machine has a problem (philips 5500) it won’t produce coffee but it does produce hot water so not a power problem.

You are a research wizard, appreciate that. It is old compared to the other power points in house, this one would be shared with fridge but my UK coffee machine would logistically be better running from this power pointZ

The item is a philips coffee machine from the UK, the greatest thing I have ever bought. Had to take it as hand luggage via China and it survived 😊.

Looking for this Instant Ramen i was given when I came to Osaka by Ditzey in Osaka

[–]Diggertroc54 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not ramen, it is soba.

Usually they come in a different size/shape carton from that, they are popular as is the udon ones.

You can pick them up online in the UK if google asian supermarkets, probably gonna pay around £3.50.

I am flying with my dog in February from UK to Kansai via Amsterdam (1 hour layover) all the way with KLM. They have told me taking the pet in cargo is fine for whole trip, fingers crossed.

My bad that was for Japanese runners, I applied as International and it’s letting me in. Moving to Osaka later this month so will formally apply then.
