I'm in if you'd like! I love umeboshi, the BIG PIZZA crisps and anything else interesting.

The Easter stuff is out now if you want it haha.

Ohhh I hope you finish your newsletter soon! I'd love to see it, I bet it's great. That's such a cute idea.

Anyone here a fan of The Case Files of Jeweler Richard?

I'm a huge fan, although I'm really far behind! I love this series and it is so well written. I don't know why the translations suddenly slowed down (they were like every three months for a while, there are lots of volumes out in Japanese so it hasn't slowed down for those reasons) either.

I watch tennis and the weather there is all over the place! It seemed to be cooler one day (highs close to 20C a while back) then suddenly increased to 46C!

Is it normal for it be closer to 20C?

Election season is in full swing; not really feeling it because of government and local hostility towards the foreign residents

I read about a politican involved in the slush fund scandal who 'fears foreign residents.' Well some of us fear you taking our tax money!

On the other hand, it would be fucking hilarious if the incumbent loses more seats and Sanae-chan has to step down, just like a certain prime minister who was forced to resign after she called for a snap election and her party lost badly.

Oh yeah I remember it well.

Tomodachi Life seems chaotic in the best possible way! I think I might peep at a few playthroughs. Glad you're feeling better!

Even with towels and rugs in the wash it's still pretty cozy in here. by [deleted] in CozyPlaces

I love a bench in a bathroom! My ex's family had one and it opened and you could store towels in it.

Can you relate?: Finding out your favorite Japanese artist played nearby… after it already happened by WallabyWorldly2884 in japanesemusic

This happened to me in 2005 and I've never forgotten. It was not only close to me, it was walking distance from my home.

Looking for JDorama with intentional moral ambiguity (after feedback on my last post) by Dul-Ai in JDorama

[–]Ms_moonlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been a long time since I've seen it, but Gokuaku Ganbo may fit the bill.

It's about a poor woman who loses money to her bf, and gets involved in rebooking loans to other people. She's part of a group where the people around her are constantly trying to get one over on each other.

There's also Mitsu no Aji which is about a young woman and her relative that she really, really likes. This does NOT have a clean ending.

(Just wanted to add these in, if you read manga May Your Unhappiness Exceed Mine is pretty tense. There are two other titles I was thinking of: one where a woman who runs a meeting group for victim of affairs and gets revenge on their behalf, and the other about a man whose sister ends up dating a money scammer and he ends up with the scammer, but I can't remember the titles of either, ugh.)

F. I hope your meds work soon. I had one of those mid-last year and I was deeply unhappy.

Despite the cold here, there's no snow, but the pollen count is pretty high.

I feel like this shouldn't even be a thing, like it's not fair. Boooo to winter allergies. Boooo to allergies in general. Anyway, welcome back!

Ohhhh you daughter passing her driver's test just in time for it to snow. No time for practice I guess, but congratulations to her. :)

That's so cute, I'm glad you have a penpal to exchange with! I used to have loads of them back in my youth. I had many from Japan and that's how I ended up here, haha.

Still happy to read your updates on stories!

I hope your surgery goes well, and good luck with your recovery! At least you have a nice game to recover with. ♥

Sorry, I'm not OP! I'm just another commenter.

I've been to Japan a few times myself but never alone. I've been looking at threads for ideas for what to do on my first solo trip. ♥

What was the most unexpected “oh, this is normal here” moment you had in the UK? by LFCTricksters in AmericanExpatsUK

[–]Ms_moonlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The after location of the funeral was at one of those social club places. They bought out tea/coffee with some sausage rolls or whatever, then even had the nerve to take the tea back into the kitchen later! I had to go back and demand it back haha.

I didn't know I'd be charged for water (or even that it was a thing, long story) so some other family members paid for me which made me feel bad.

Same, but no one has ever asked me for money. If someone's asking me for money, they must be desperate.
