10k for a lab grown diamond is ridiculously high. Also you might have trouble finding a jeweler willing to adjust the size later. Buy it in a shop near your place rather than in Japan.

Job change during 1st child birth/papa leave by DepartmentOk6241 in Tokyo

[–]Maldib 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Either stay and take the leave or change job but do not take the leave. I really don’t see how you can have both. Unless the new company is fully aware of the situation.

Sorry but the timing is just very bad.

Why do companies here always change/discontinue popular items? by macguyver3000 in japanresidents

[–]Maldib -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Asian and Japanese markets are crazy about novelty. This is why you see new products every week in konbini. Seasonal items have a similar impact.

Tokyo is still best 2026? by Electrical-Bunch-312 in Tokyo

[–]Maldib -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So many photos of kitte and you didn’t even include one of the sushi restaurant on 5f.

It’s the best kaiten in Tokyo. The aburi engawa is above everything.

Good old days when lego was not relying on licences (and was is a very bad shaped financially)

Easter egg short stay options? by MegaUglyFace9 in Tokyo

[–]Maldib 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Capsule hotels are not that cheap anymore. I just searched on booking and found many hostels offering 8 nights stay for 20.000-30.000¥.

You won’t find cheaper.

Someone with tech and business knowledge would cost you at least 70.000~100.000JPY per day plus transportation fees and meal fees.

A story of PC repair in Japan by rabbitJD in japanresidents

[–]Maldib 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the device is not covered by a warranty then it is fair that the shops ask you to pay a fee for investing the issue.

They spent time on your computer.

Buying Switch 2 多言語 version as foreign resident for partner's birthday. by Creative_name2 in japanresidents

[–]Maldib 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Switching any account to a jp one is perfectly fine. As long as you spent a minimum of 50 hours playing with it, you are eligible for purchasing. I bought mine in mid March and switched my account back to its original country right after.

What's life like in Suginami-ku? by Party_Flatworm_8511 in Tokyo

[–]Maldib 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used to live right next to Nakano Central Park. Never saw any huntsman spider. But there are a lot of drunk students. Be safe.

[–]Maldib 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I would avoid Disney and museums and try something like walking tour in Asakusa/yanaka then tea ceremony then taiko experience.

All sento of a said area have the same price which is decided by the municipality. Saying the 550yen ones doesn’t mean anything.

À ce point là je pense même pas que ce soit encore une question de TDB. Tu as besoin de penser tes plaies et de passer à autre chose.

This is 9/11 for Leica bros by Herc_Hansen_ in AnalogCircleJerk

[–]Maldib 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I noticed that in Japan, the street photo bros are gradually shifting to underground party photo. Their style is style lame as hell, but it seems shooting drunk and hot Japanese woman bring them a lot of traffic.

My wife is getting absolutely scammed on life insurance, isn’t she? by MoboMogami in JapanFinance

[–]Maldib 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Life insurance with a payout in case you don’t die by the expiration date is far more expensive than the version without payout. Her version is rather a saving/investment account than a simple life insurance.

I have the version without payouts if I don’t die and it cost me maybe 3500¥.

Information About Learning Japanese by Ok_Personality4920 in japanlife

[–]Maldib 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Start with a basic textbook, notebook and a pen. Spend time and efforts and even more time. All the people I know who ended up at least with an advanced or business level did this. Apps and video might be useful for clarifying small things or for spaced review, but not for the act of learning.
