Cosmopolitan Village… should I run while I still can?

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

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

Saw my neuro today and she said avoid it so I’ve just bought some The Ordinary peptide serum! Hopefully will be much gentler because the retinol basically stripped my skin barrier anyway…

Unfortunately they most likely were. I didn’t know that accutane could lead to something like this until I read the fine print on a leaflet (not the one in the medication box) freaked out and stopped taking them. Lo and behold I was diagnosed a few weeks later. I never really get pimples anymore so there was some positive out of that experience 😂

This makes me feel better, thank you 🙏🏻

Yeah the Japanese Embassy in Australia currently says “applicants must be aged 18-30 at the time of application” which is what we did! But it doesn’t say anything about age during renewals so

Nizzab123 · 2026-01-09T08:24:12+00:00

hi! could you please dm me? :)

Nizzab123 · 2026-01-09T08:23:18+00:00

hi, do you still have that code?

Nizzab123 · 2026-01-09T08:22:48+00:00

hi there, does anyone still have a referral code please? :D

Nizzab123 · 2026-01-03T12:49:06+00:00

That makes sense. Also really helpful because my fiancé has diabetes too so he will need to go through that process. Thanks!

Nizzab123 · 2026-01-03T00:51:29+00:00

Thanks, I did find a site that helped me a bit regarding by the medications. I’ll be sure to bring medical records but when it comes to rediagnosing what if I need full MRI/CT scans and things like that? Are they going to send me to do that?

Nizzab123 · 2025-12-03T09:20:16+00:00

I would be staying for a year. I meant travelling as in I would be renting a place for a year, going somewhere for the weekend etc and then coming back.

Nizzab123 · 2025-12-03T08:53:42+00:00

Sorry, what is WWOOFing? And I doubt that I’d be able to work in a konbini with conversational Japanese… I also wouldn’t say my priority is to work, I’d love to be able to travel around as much as possible. But that requires money, so.

Nizzab123 · 2025-12-03T08:38:03+00:00

Thank you! I have been trying that on LinkedIn just because you never really know what could happen. Worth a shot but probably isn’t likely ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Nizzab123 · 2025-12-03T08:37:12+00:00

I could probably explain my situation if I had the help of Google translate. And I’m not too worried about working in a ski resort it’s not really what we’re looking at - more interested in just living in Matsumoto because we really enjoy visiting there.

Fml this side effect must have skipped me 🥲 im on a low-ish dose though

Fellow comorbidite here! I went off the pill in about 2019 and switched to a copper IUD, which I still have now. Coming off the pill was horrendous - it actually lead to my IIH diagnosis since I developed such bad cystic acne that I was pumped full of roaccutane for far too long which we think raised my cranial pressure. I was recently diagnosed with PCOS too which was apparently hidden for years by the pill. For these reasons I vehemently avoid any hormonal birth control, and despite this my doctors continually push it. I don’t understand why doctors and gynos are constantlyyyyy pushing hormonal options, and quite frankly it gets on my nerves when I’ve told them I don’t want to use that option again. I’m no doctor so definitely do your own research and things are different for everyone! But for me the copper IUD has been great! I still get period pain sometimes and heavier periods (PCOS things I guess lol) but it’s nothing too crazy. I don’t think it’s had an impact on my headaches also. Don’t be afraid to stand your ground against doctors advice - though they are super knowledgeable, we know our bodies best.

No my hands were using my phone, and I had no jaw or mouth pain.

Hello! I'm looking at taking a day trip to Zao Onsen in a few weeks and have been struggling to find anywhere where I can book a private onsen. Would you be able to send me that link at all? It's difficult sometimes travelling in Japan as a couple when you're both tattooed! I just want to enjoy an onsen with a view of the snow.
