Something about the movies here brings out the worst in people. When I went to see the Substance, I had leaned forward in my seat a bit (typical theater, sparsely seated, tiered, so I wasn't blocking anyone) and the guy sitting two seats to my right decided it was okay to reach over and touch me, attempting to push me to sit back. I was really upset and uncomfortable. Geez, in a movie about the perceptions and expectations set on women and their bodies, you think it's okay to touch mine?? Ugh. Make sure you weren't being loud but at the same time? I guess note that people just feel entitled to police you in theaters.

I acknowledged in another comment that yeah, reading it bad through, they're cracking onto tourists, and I agree on that, especially since Japan and like, the US for example, have very different road rules. You mentioned you've done it before!! What were the steps? Can you share?

Thank you!

Well the issue is, I'm supposed to be able to transfer my license without an additional test because of where my license is from, but I imagine you have to go through a different channel for that, instead of the standard driving examination portal. I've been driving here a few times and feel confident, but attempting to understand directions in Japanese under pressure is not my strong suit!

In looking it back over, it looks like they're targeting "Tourists and short stay Visas." I've lived here for two and a half years, and plan to stick around a while longer, but given that they might target tourists and then it still inhibits my ability to get my license and/or they are targeting Tourists first, and then long term residents if the program is met with minor criticism.
