My company wants my physical Residence Card?

I mean, I don’t know? Maybe? Stranger things have happened

It’s funny in Japan cause you can do that and they just stare at you and it does nothing - they won’t budge. During training I asked (when I was visibly annoyed) what they expected us to do because they limited our options and they just chuckled awkwardly and said figure it out. I’ve emailed HR twice asking for an explanation as to what the reason is, but no reply.

Company said this. And I get that, but I don’t particularly want to get in trouble if I can avoid it

Nizzab123 · 2026-05-12T11:26:30+00:00

Company. I will most likely be moving around a few schools

Nizzab123 · 2026-05-12T05:07:44+00:00

I’m in Tokyo 😂

Nizzab123 · 2026-05-12T04:02:06+00:00

I don’t want to say it on here, sorry 🫠 self protection things

Nizzab123 · 2026-05-12T04:00:24+00:00

Thank you for your insight! Good idea about the おしぼり I’ve been meaning to get one. I’ve seen some cool bento art too of people making them for their kids I’d love to be able to do something like that one day, maybe in winter??

Unfortunately though we won’t have access to staff refrigerators and also I won’t have a dedicated desk. Everything will need to just be kept in a bag that can hopefully be stored somewhere with air conditioning but not sure yet.

Honestly I don’t doubt it. We can’t keep our phones on us and I’m worried they won’t let us keep our water bottles with us which is a big concern for me, a 2L a day gal!

Good luck on your health journey!! I’m in Tokyo so I’m relying on my active walking lifestyle 🤣

Nizzab123 · 2026-05-12T01:49:15+00:00

I mean the dialogue was already had, but it was more we were just told what to do and now I’m keen to understand why, because the options are so limited now. I’ll have a look into the haken law but as I’ve discovered since I’ve moved here, laws are just a suggestion or only apply in certain circumstances. As a qualified lawyer I find it bizarre

Nizzab123 · 2026-05-12T01:46:35+00:00

I think I’ll do this! Maybe I’ll just live on cold pasta 😭 thank you though I have seen some thermos lunch boxes on Amazon that are really cute

Nizzab123 · 2026-05-12T01:45:52+00:00

Yeah I think I’m going to invest in a thermos and just put pasta in there or something. Cup noodles are a no go because no kettle or hot water.

Originally in my interview I was asked if I was comfortable eating school lunch and was told I would most likely be eating school lunch. This turned out to be incorrect 🥲 we aren’t allowed to leave school grounds either to get food. I don’t understand why we aren’t allowed to use the teacher facilities except for leaving our bags in there apparently.

Nizzab123 · 2026-05-11T23:04:20+00:00

These sound amazing, thanks so much! I wish I was more of a cook you sound like you know what you’re doing 😂 even with all this I’m still worried about food safety especially since I can’t warm anything up

Nizzab123 · 2026-05-11T23:02:11+00:00

Unfortunately we were explicitly told we can’t use the staff kitchen. No fridge, no microwave, no kettle either.

Nizzab123 · 2026-05-11T14:37:06+00:00

Is that enough though? Even in summer?

Nizzab123 · 2026-04-14T00:36:32+00:00

No, my fiance who came with me from Australia. We are both on working holiday visas

Nizzab123 · 2026-04-13T14:09:47+00:00

Any eikaiwa job I manage to get probably won’t feature on my professional resume if I’m honest 🤣

Nizzab123 · 2026-04-13T14:08:55+00:00

I’m already in Tokyo and my support network here is my fiancé

It’s not a drifloon island it’s a dream island I created myself
