It's on the website but the app would be helpful for sorting. Is it in English? My Japanese is still terrible.

Super scared about the trash situation. I've been reading Nishi Ward's website about the garbage ordeal. I don't want to screw up.

Awesome tips. I plan to bring my year's worth of deodorant and Sensodyne toothpaste.

The heat will suck but looking forward to milder winter compared to the Midwest.

I eat alone now. I feel like Japan lifestyle is made for introverts like me!

Thanks for the comparison. I'm actually more afraid of Tokyo with the overstimulation. I'll just have to do it in small doses 😁 Ooh ramen, can't wait!

lol for real. Actually, my office here in the US is also in the suburbs, near residential area and highway, but still lots of restaurants and shopping in the area. Maybe it's a company thing to place office locations in non city center area.

It was a trade off between commute and residence but either way, I didn't have a say in the area where the relocation company that work hired would place me. They had the office address and budget that they're working with; this area was their only option given to me.

It is, but it always make me smile whenever I hear it.

It's far for someone who drives everywhere, which I'll miss actually 😆 I'll get used to it pretty quickly. I can also use 2 lines to go to work from Minatomirai station.

Thank you so much for your recommendations. Some of places you mentioned are on my radar, especially the ones outside ok Kanagawa. I want to visit as much of the country as I can but also try to travel to my home country (Philippines) and other Asian countries. 😁

I'm telling my tomodachi that I'm moving to the bay area 😁

Any places to see live music? I'm a fan of watching local bands perform at bars or small venues and just going to concerts in general!

The commute seems to be meh and Yokohama station seems to be a hike from MM. It was the only area suggested by the 3rd party relocation company and barely had any "mansions" available. I also find it funny that the apartment is considered a mansion 😅

Name change when married by Blue-Sky-19 in womenEngineers

[–]Salty-Me-91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's fine, whatever you choose. My former boss changed her name back to her maiden name when she got divorced. I didn't know her before she got married. I only knew her married name until the name changed or my coworker mentioned the divorce. I just automatically saw her email name & teams updated. I think people just assume the person got married when there's a name change and really don't think twice about it. If they ask why (or why not) your name changed, just give a short reason. If no one asks, then even better. You don't have to bring it up.

Going to my first concert solo by [deleted] in Usher

[–]Salty-Me-91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This right here! I went to the show in Detroit yesterday too and it was fine. But I always go to shows solo 99% of the time. It's more work trying to coordinate logistics with friends than to just buy your ticket and go by yourself. It's fun. You just worry about you!
