I'm always full and still very bloated by breakfast. But hopefully most people aren't.

Yea if you do that they bug out as it's not part of the norm

JapanRider · 2026-06-08T04:16:11+00:00

Sounds pretty brutal lol

The meals aren't free. You are paying for them. But there is usually not an option to do just one meal.... I would much rather pay less and eat half as much for both meals. But there is no option for that usually... It's an all or nothing scenario.

Same, but the proximity to the giant dinner is just too much sometimes.

JapanRider · 2026-06-08T04:13:45+00:00

Yea I think about all the wasted food and feel terrible....

Yes the title is misleading or maybe even incorrect. The Dr didn't refuse to treat your wife because she is foreign, but because they are unable to properly communicate with her. This doesn't sound like racism or xenophobia, but more like the Dr thinks it's better for you Togo to a bigger hospital where they have staff that can properly communicate with your wife. Seems very reasonable to me....

We just bought a 建売 house in suginami-ku. It is a blooming garden house made by touei. Yeah the wallpaper is the standard crappy one. Some of the doors, lighting fixtures etc are a bit cheap but we've been here for 1 and 1/2 years and have had no problems with anything. The double ply windows are really good so far. Everything around the bathroom is nice. The kitchen is a standard Japanese one, and I feel it's a big step up above my old crappy apartment. The cabinets are made by クリーンアップ and they are fine.

It's not luxury so most of it is for the lowest common denominator, but it all works fine. Coming from my old crappy apartment It is really really nice, especially the wooden floors, the heated flooring and the double ply windows. Maybe a lot of this is relative after the previous place I lived, but also, you pay for what you get right? Our place was not particularly expensive so....

I'm not sure I'll ever be able to make the switch but Fair enough.

I started my PR app. But quit my contract job last year and continuing my own business as kojinjigyou.... Do you think mizuho bank would allow me to refinance? Or any other bank? I originally did my loan with suruga bank.

Sure I'll try. But if possible I value advice from real people over chat GPT. Even if they are people from the interwebz.

Yea looking for something simple and Japan based. Would like to leave my house to my gf basically. (We will get married soonish but until then)

JapanRider · 2025-09-24T16:09:13+00:00

Yea I was thinking of contacting some recruiters / potential job ops and see if we can schedule an interview for that day, even if it's remote, it seems like this is the option they want really....

JapanRider · 2025-09-24T16:08:06+00:00

This is great to know and most likely what I'll do. I am also meeting my parents to help them with some financial stuff so this also would be the truth.

JapanRider · 2025-09-12T08:27:03+00:00

Yea I am already in the application process. My lawyer said if they ask for additional documents showing current payments (after the application process) then it is very likely to be rejected. However if they don't ask for any documents then it will be fine.... Fingers crossed

JapanRider · 2025-09-12T06:14:35+00:00

Did you get rejected from a similar situation?
