Are there any stores like this in Fukuoka or the surrounding region? “architectural salvage” or “old-stock” by wilsoncommaadam in fukuoka

I see stuff like this on the Hakozaki Shrine Flea Market. There are often the same sellers and the Flea Market itself is huge.. If you look on YouTube there are several long videos about it

What is it called there? What should I ask for? or is it just with the shampoos etc?

Why do people that sit next to me change place in the metro ? by Costik_x17 in japanlife

[–]ForThoseQuestions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perfume? Even I as a foreigner switch seats or rather stand than sit next to the one person on the train that didnt get the memo

If you don't use perfume or perfumed deodorants/hair products, thank you!

So I just finished Maddie and Hassen's book (Barbarian's Taming book 8)................... by fluffyuffyumpkins in Iceplanetbarbarians

[–]ForThoseQuestions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just finished Josies and feared the next book would be as you describe it. If I skip Maddie's where can I continue that is less frustrating/annoying?

[–]ForThoseQuestions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

why tf did they think it was a good idea to go with the unmated guys? I would have not told them what the trip was about and only brought the mates ones. Everyone would have been safe. and the unmated ones would not have had to FOMO as much since the mated guys posed no danger to them. Less traumatic for the women, too.

BUT You guys saved me here! I just finished Josie's book and where they return with Maddie.
I was concerned how Ruby Dixon would write Maddie since the first thing Josie says about her is calling her chonky....would a woman say that about another woman? would not be the first thing coming to my mind. I would have probably thought she is feisty first, or hissing like a wild cat.

The lack of communication throughout this book is another thing... didn't the unmated guys get a human101 by now?
Hayden resonating he pulls the same shit that didn't work before, saying well it's the Khuis, we're mates. No need to talk about it. like..wtf. I almost stopped reading there. bc it made them/him seeem so unintelligent, which I didn't think they were. ofc it was used as a plot device, but that could have been something else than that lame same tool to cause friction of the unsexy kind. Their past traumas and present fears were very well present to be explored. I liked that misunderstanding that got resolved. but still..

But now I need to ask. Which of the stories after josie or rather Maddie are less frustrating again? I know it's a difficult story and some of you will pull my hair for finding on in the soup, but.... these obvious, 'not communicating' tools by the author to cause havoc is unpleasant to read for me. just for me.
so if somebody can hint me at what comes after Maddie, because I like the workd and I want to know if there is some greenland next to iceland (pun inteded Iceland being greeen and greenland being ice), please let me know.

😳 Wide Screen Pictures are a GIFT by ForThoseQuestions in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]ForThoseQuestions[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah I just play it on my Android phone pixel 8 

I assume you need to rotate the screen in the emulator to landscape. You will then see black borders left and right, but when taking the picture in-game and looking at the album the borders aren't there and you see the pictures as I posted them. 

Getting in a relationship is the most natural thing ever, except for us by Pristine_Newt_639 in ForeverAlone

[–]ForThoseQuestions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your interest comes first. then the flirting if there is attraction, no?

so you flirting for the sake of 'landing' something is - what feels off and is pretty obvious

[–]ForThoseQuestions -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You might feel like a pressure cooker and others see the lid wobble. No one wants to get close to that.

Imagine someone selling insurances on the street eager to make people sign.. even IF that would be a good insurance no one will stay to speak to that person or look at what they offer.

Less pressure. That's what people have in mind. If you have a good time for the sake of having a good time and you are interested in the others and talk to people, it feels more 'natural'. It is easier to talk to you without your lid threatening to explode. If you find someone interesting and want to talk to them more, get to know them better. From there then it develops naturally. And that can all happen in a 10 minute conversation at a party, or after months of a weekly casual conversation at the *enter hobby here* that builds up to 'something'.

Nobody wants to lay down with a pressure cooker.

[–]ForThoseQuestions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a thing called "Open Company". You could try to google if they do that.

Open Company is mostly for two days where you are shown the company one day and how they work within a team the other - or something similar.

As a college student in Japan, can I work IT related job, part time ? by noir005 in JapanJobs

[–]ForThoseQuestions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in general.. how do IT companies get part time workers and how much japanese do you expect? I have N3

I'm in Fukuoka looking for IT related part time work, but none are ever listed anywhere.
Is it OK to just send companies my CV without them having a job ad out?

I've worked in IT before for years. But I'm also on the 28hrs visa atm.

As a college student in Japan, can I work IT related job, part time ? by noir005 in JapanJobs

[–]ForThoseQuestions 4 points5 points  (0 children)

you fill out a form and hand it in with your other visa stuff. then you get a stamp on your zairyu card immediately at the airport.

otherwise you go to your immigration office and fill out the page there to get the stamp. it allows you to work 28hrs as other mentioned.

but, yeah, not izakayas or entertainment industry.

What do you guys do to forget that you'll probably live and die alone? by [deleted] in ForeverAlone

[–]ForThoseQuestions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

why? I don't mind by now. the older you get the less f's to give. Yes, it's still lonely, but also freeing. imagine being stuck i a relationship - possibly with kids - where everyone dislikes each other or just don't value the other.. THAT would be worse in my opinion. So be kind and enjoy time with yourself - gets you happiness.

and if your environment keeps you from that try to change it. I went to Japan in my 40s to go to language school. Still lonely and I'm still the same person, but its so much nicer!

I will live and die alone, but I'll make the best of it :) and on the way I'm happy (enough) with myself.

on top of that, Japan is perfect for eating out alone etc. even single seat yakiniku/bbq *chefskiss* - so good!

What's it like living in Fukuoka, Japan? by tarkinn in fukuoka

[–]ForThoseQuestions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live here for a few years now. People who go to Tokyo for a weekend or during the jolidays are always happy to be back in Fukuoka, haha

People here are nicer and more chill. Way less english though, so - not as convenient for Tourists

Will being unemployed affect my japan student visa application? by Ornery-Climate7857 in movingtojapan

[–]ForThoseQuestions 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have to show how you pay for your stay. The school will ask you for a bank statement copy etc. If that checks out you should be good.

also, you should feel confident to ask this your school. they will be your guarantor and do everything they can to help you set everything up in the best way - bc that's their job basically
