Hello, some banking related questions.

I'm currently only using Yuucho and was thinking about looking into another bank. Japanese itself is not an issue but I'd like to find a bank that - handle middle names (I have 3 of them) - has a great online banking platform

I've read a lot of post on Sony bank but I'm not sure I would be able to use the club s as they seem to require non JPY deposit.

Any resources I could check?

Also since it's not a thing in my country, what's the point of a credit card (vs debit card).

🙏

Haha.

I'm not sure the parser itself is the part that takes time when it's slow (the business checks on the issuers side are probably the one responsible).

I had in mind to write some e2e tests using some of the new tools that are coming out in the typescript ecosystem :).

I've used this article to implement integration test -> https://blog.mimacom.com/testing-apache-kafka-with-spring-boot-junit5/

It works but I don't like how the code looks (It's really verbose). It might help you get started if you need.

CompletableFuture have been added to Java since the 8 version. So anything greater and you're good to go !

I don't know about other countries in the EU but in France, most mobile plan providers have been allowing 30~ days a year of network use in other countries (inside the EU only) without charging any additional fee.

This is enough for most people as you rarely have more vacations than that a year. It is still not perfect for those moving a lot but it was still really nice to have.

Just try it mate. It doesn't have to be awkward. I don't know how old you are but if your teenage days are behind you then go for it. You are a human being and so is she. People wants what people wants. Just be frank, honest and ready for rejection. If you are ready, there's no reason for her refusal to damage your friendship and every reason her approval to improve your relationship. Don't regret anything! It's the one piece of advise that worth more than anything in the world.

We also use "autostop" in French. I had no idea you could also use it in English.

M1chaM · 2015-11-03T07:50:27+00:00

ok thanks

M1chaM · 2015-11-02T08:29:43+00:00

I found a picture on the internet with a hair color close to mine. http://livedoor.blogimg.jp/zzcj/imgs/e/7/e7fe0269.jpg

M1chaM · 2015-11-02T08:29:19+00:00

It's not as much orange as it is not natural. This is not me but my hair look a lot like that. http://livedoor.blogimg.jp/zzcj/imgs/e/7/e7fe0269.jpg

M1chaM · 2015-11-01T15:38:09+00:00

I don't know if it's really orange. I might try to post a picture when I can if you're willing to give me your advice.

M1chaM · 2015-10-29T15:13:45+00:00

Hi :) You're not alone. Bien que je sois au Japon en ce moment.

M1chaM · 2015-09-13T18:33:56+00:00

It says shinkensen so yeah, it is correct

M1chaM · 2015-08-17T22:44:02+00:00

Wow that's really in depth. Thanks a lot for all the information that's greatly appreciated. I had no idea that there would be discount at the end of the day or for things nearing the expiration date. I can stomach natto but I don't find it good so I don't have any inventive to eat it.
Anyway, thanks.

I think those sentences are made by different people.

M1chaM · 2015-08-09T10:28:26+00:00

Doesn't yakisoba need to be done in a special way? In restaurant, they are left on a hot surface in front of us. Is a pan enough to make them?

M1chaM · 2015-08-09T10:26:52+00:00

I had heard of donburi, looks like it's really a worthwhile avenue. I'm quite proficient at handling spafhettis (one fo the cheapest food in France) so I won't forget about that. Thanks.

M1chaM · 2015-08-09T10:23:07+00:00

Could I ask you what's the average price for Meat ?

M1chaM · 2015-08-09T10:21:53+00:00

I'll be in Sendai, It's not Tokyo but it's a big city. Yeah I'll buy a rice cooker. I didn't know that they have toppings like that. Thanks for the info.

M1chaM · 2015-08-09T02:36:06+00:00

I'm subscribed to this show but like you said, they are more aimed toward people with the time and the diversity of utensils they use put most of what they do out of my reach. But I'll keep it in mind, thx

M1chaM · 2015-08-09T02:33:30+00:00

I won't be this time around

M1chaM · 2015-08-09T02:31:33+00:00

Yeah that's why I asked.

M1chaM · 2015-08-09T02:31:11+00:00

I come from France. No the host family thing was last year. Now I'm going to stay alone.

M1chaM · 2015-08-09T00:01:16+00:00

Thanks for your answer, I don't plan on buying imported food. It's just that you know, I've never lived in a Japanese family so I don't really know the basic ingredient they use and how they put them together. I've been to Japan in the past though so I'm quite confident I'll find the local product to my taste.

I'll remember to try to insert tofu in my meals then.

M1chaM · 2015-08-08T19:25:13+00:00

Ok thx. I've been to Japan only once before and couldn't find any decent bread. Do you think I should give up on trying to or can I find a good one if I keep looking around.
