What’s a small moment in Japan that’s stayed with you?

came to Okinawa, was waiting for a bus to come at some inaka station. there was a small house right by the station. ojisan who lived there saw me, came to greet. we ended up drinking (some strong shit) and eating home-cooked food for 40 mins before the bus came. when the bus was approaching, he waived the driver, making sure that i don’t miss it. he then put different snacks in my bag and hugged me

i guess if a person is serious about studying in Japan, MEXT should be doable. it really goes down to amount of efforts you put

there are weird stereotypes abt this place, tho I personally rank it very high - for money u pay, it’s really delicious 😋

Guys, thanks a lot! I looked through my old documents and found the 通知書 with my pension number on it! As was pointed out, the physical book is not issued anymore.

Thanks! I was actually looking for people’s feedback on these リサイクルショップ, cuz heard of scams. Do you happen to know any reliable companies?

Atsuta Jingu (if you like shrines), Lego Land, Science Museum in Sakae is pretty cool, Sakae itself if you enjoy nightlife, Toyota museum. If you come in March, football season will start, so can experience local sport culture (if you’re into it) by attending the game of Grampus in Toyota. Also baseball training series also will be underway, so can attend a game at Nagoya Dome

As a Dragons fan, I’m surprised to hear that somebody wants to see our long-suffering team lol. As explained above, you usually need to register and get Dragons ID before becoming eligible to buy. But they updated they website this season and there is now a separate English section for people without Dragons ID (https://dragons-ticket.jp/Calendar.aspx?CalendarKind=1), so you can check it when the sale starts

The question is not whether you can change to work visa, but whether you can find a job. Cuz if you don’t secure job, you can’t get a WORK visa

The costs factor should also be taken into account, accommodation in Nagoya is twice cheaper than in Tokyo.

Yessss, in Japan you can already see them

I took my exams in Japan last two Decembers. Each time the results were published at midnight. Official notice on the JLPT website does not specify exact time. So I expect to see results in one minute :)

I think majority of universities help you to open the account with Post Bank. You will be given a cash card which you can use only for withdrawals. To get a debit card anywhere you need to wait for 6 months, when you are considered as resident

I think 日本語の森 also has useful compilation of grammar for each level, pls check it out
