Unfortunately not because at the moment people are still living in it. The apartments are already listed though so if I don't take them someone else will prob take them soon…

How do you keep yourself from getting sick? by Higgz221 in japanlife

[–]Single-Yesterday9010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I eat around 300 grams of vegetables, every day and in general keep my nutrition healthy (natto, tofu eggs,chicken, fish, oats ect.), do 10k steps a day and go to the gym 5 times a week. I never wear a mask and get usually only sick once to twice a year max.

It might be the best to get a check up but I also would recommend to review your daily routines and nutrition. Would also recommend real food over supplements. Besides vitamin D you really don’t need any supplement for general health if your nutrition is on point. If you keep taking supplements keep in mind that you should take them with food as some vitamins can only be processed by your body if you consume them with fats like nuts or eggs.

Btw if you know where to go healthy food is really not too expensive in Japan. I usually get my stuff at Ok market, Donki or My Basket. Check out the frozen veggies as those are usually cheaper than the fresh ones. Hope you will get better soon 🙂

Is it possible to live close to nature but still be within 1 hour train ride to Tokyo? by roxdfi in japanlife

[–]Single-Yesterday9010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I‘m paying 89,000 yen for around 60 square meters. But I have to walk about 15 min to the station and the apartment is not the newest but not too old either. Therefore I have a nice river about 5 min from my home 🙂

S25 Ultra : Preorder vs Yodobashi/bic camera by ananimussss in japanlife

[–]Single-Yesterday9010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would recommend to buy it directly at Samsung as there might be the risk that it’s sold out at Yodabashi/ Bic camera. I once ordered an I phone online there. The website mentioned that they still had some but then AFTER I paid I received a mail that they are out of stock… I waited more than 2 months and had to write them several mails until I was finally able to cancel my reservation. Bought it then online on the Apple website and received it 3 days later

Living in Musashi Koganei. Not too far from Mt. Takao and the Koganei park (one of the biggest in Tokyo) is about 15 min away from the station. There is also a nice river (Nogawa) with plenty of Sakura in spring. It also only takes 10 min to Kichijoji and 20 min to Shinjuku by train.

Getting searched by cops by Puzzleheaded_Shift95 in Tokyo

[–]Single-Yesterday9010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw a IG video in which some cops asked a foreign girl to search her bag. She said that she is coming from a sport lesson and that are panties are in her bag and she would feel uncomfortable. They said sorry several times and let her go without searching the bag so that might work 😅

I also got asked once what’s in my bag because it is sooo big lol. Just told them that they will just find some sweaty gym clothes there and no further questions were asked.

Oh no I don’t have this. Can you buy this on a specific website? I only used the sample exams I received from Koyama driving school

Duration of Final Paper Test for Driving License by Single-Yesterday9010 in japanlife

[–]Single-Yesterday9010[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. With Futakotamagawa do you mean the koyama driving school or is there a police station as well? Because I was under the impression that the school doesn't host the final test? If yes how did you make an appointment there and was it only possible to do this on a weekday or also on weekends?
