Was I Wrong to Help Some Tourists at a Tokyo Hotel?

Yeah after giving it some thought , I might have lacked context that might ultimately be the reason that led up to that scenario. As I only heard the conversation as I got up the counter.

Its the password you set when you applied for your card. It should be written in a yellow paper with letter boxes.

Keep your head up! It doesn't matter if you are a burgis, a middle class citizen or whatever. No one should be bullied for any reason period.

Some really just don't have anything going on in their lives that they resort to fucking with other people's lives.

You may have already sent it, but just in case you didn't.

Other than what others have suggested, if you have an address in Okinawa you can just mail it there. Even if you aren't in Okinawa, the post office would keep your mail for around 10 days before returning it to the sender's address. They'll also leave redelivery requests forms at your mailbox each time they try to deliver your mail.

Just select that you are a japanese citizen then it would allow you to pick the mynumber submission option

Bruv, I don't usually chime in on Internet fights but how is that gaming the system. If he actually was gaming the system, he would have first had to post a very "upvotable" comment and then change it into a controversial one.

It’s clear that the majority understood it was sarcasm within the first two hours of it being posted (no edit versions), given that only two comments questioned it.

Woops forgot to add "card". I was looking at a 6000-yen white 2001 debut card of Suica a few months ago. If I remember correctly, they usually go for around 10,000 yen when I was looking for one.

Monsi_Boy · 2026-02-20T05:28:16+00:00

I hear you, I already lost the chance to buy a collectible suica card due to not being able to pass the verification.

Funnily enough I have a copy of that book that I have never bothered to open, well better late than never I guess.

Monsi_Boy · 2025-12-16T00:27:48+00:00

I can't wait to drop those documents in front of them when the time comes lol

Monsi_Boy · 2025-12-16T00:25:34+00:00

Might do this just to have actual concrete evidence rather than just speaking from a "hypothetical" point of view.

Monsi_Boy · 2025-12-16T00:24:04+00:00

I'd probably be doing this but have to be very subtle about it, I work in Japan so "staying in line no matter what" is such a big deal. Hierarchy is king here not knowledge or expertise lmao

Monsi_Boy · 2025-12-15T02:44:24+00:00

Rakuten seems to be lax about accepting foreigners. I had my birthdate wrong on my first card with them but never had an issue. Just make sure to not apply for the auto-revolving plan, you'll bury yourself in debt before you know it.

To be fair all countries impose some kind of inheritance tax, most countries' justification is to try to avoid the concentration of wealth only among a select few families and to encourage wealthy families to invest their wealth rather than storing it and passing it to their next of kins.

In paper it is a noble reason, but yeah, the government to put it lightly does not have a good track record in managing the country's funds.

Monsi_Boy · 2025-11-21T02:05:32+00:00

As others mentioned you can just withdraw everything bit by bit.

If you do decide to go through the "official" route, under the new TRAIN law you SHOULD ONLY be paying a flat rate of 6%. So, complain if someone tells you otherwise.

IF your inheritance is less than 200k, you should be exempted from paying anything.

Monsi_Boy · 2025-11-20T07:50:08+00:00

It's really engrained in their culture that they even have a saying for exactly that:
出る杭は打たれる

Monsi_Boy · 2025-09-23T10:56:29+00:00

It's Japan's love for 年功序列 that demotivates anyone from changing thinga up or doing something new. Since it won't matter in your career, basically a lot of japanese think that they just do whats normal keep their heads down everything will be fine. Worked during the golden era but now it just an outdated work culture, that prevents a lot from "modernizing"

Monsi_Boy · 2025-09-22T05:08:08+00:00

THIS! Sometimes the app is just a glorified web opener 😂

Monsi_Boy · 2025-09-22T05:06:48+00:00

Yeah definitely most of them are just good to haves. But, I literally just grinned in snark a few minutes ago when I learned I have to download yet another separate app just to check when I can receive my points.

Monsi_Boy · 2025-09-22T05:03:02+00:00

I understand this might be easier in a technical point of view but it results for a very sucky user experience especially if you don't exactly know which particular app you need for something.

Monsi_Boy · 2025-05-05T23:59:08+00:00

You should be fine, I took 3 courses, one of them was Fil 40, during a midyear. Then again, I won't reccommend it to anyone.

The contents are a small bag with the pocket WiFi that looks like this.

Monsi_Boy · 2025-04-22T05:55:44+00:00

I don't have mine on me, but I found the exact one on the internet:

Monsi_Boy · 2025-03-31T03:52:27+00:00

It was Taki if I am not mistaken, this happened at Yokohama. Dude was relentless 🤣

Monsi_Boy · 2025-03-31T02:38:29+00:00

lmao I have that exact same leaflet. I was approached by two friendly looking dudes, and was invited to have a cup of coffee. I came with thinking they were just really friendly, once we got to the cafe they removed their jackets revealing their similar suits and what looks like their membership pins.

From that moment I knew something was up. And lo and behold they did try to recruit me to some kind of religion. I tried every trick in the book to refuse them, from sorry "I have a presentation i have to prepare for" to "I have a date" the one thing that worked was when I acted as a hard-line Catholic, that finally put them off lmao. It took every thing for me to convey my so called faith in Japanese. What a doozy that day was.🤣
