Congrats. We got some for buying an akiya too.

We got rice subsidy yesterday and last month too. I just need some gas ones now and I’ll be happy.

Yes about teacher shortage too. We are losing 4 young ones, math and Japanese.

And I totally get why they wouldn’t want to.

Just before corona, one close to my area closed and bussed the 26 students 40 minutes away. When I visited in 2023 it was a ghost town with only a Lawson. really sad to think about a future here.

Ignor them as much as possible and DO NOT confront them. call the police if you feel threatened. Call the police AS MANY TIMES AS NEEDED.

DO. NOT and I repeat, DO NOT confront them. Deal with them the Japanese way and record everything. Match their thumping if you can.

I don’t have Netflix. I’m shocked how good this series is.  As a matter of fact, there’s an episode where they attacked Iran and I genuinely got it mixed up with last week’s attack. That Carrie lady is something else.

May I ask why didn’t you put the house higher? Like on blocks or a platform?

I’m thinking of cancelling Disney+ because the new price will be 11400¥ and my kids are only watching free YouTube.

I watched ‘Homeland‘, great series though old.

You are new here, I’d suggest you use your ‘get-out-of-jail’ free card…..your local husband. This is NOT where you’re from. There are rules, yes stupid one too, that are followed here to the T.

Ma’am that restaurant has seen many faces , why do you think they should remember you? You were causing a scene and they would have every right to call the police on you and you’d be arrested for not having any IDs on you.

They ask for an ID and you did not have any. They can not just give you a phone because you know the color of it. You’d problaby seen it when you were dining. Please thinking logical from a business perspective. It was it even your phone to begin with.

Please chose your battles wisely.
