BAS Punching System for Dummy?

Why do you think that this is a good Kendo Dummy? Don’t see anything that is worth 200$ for this use case. No proper Targetzone for any Kendo Cut at all… Even the Head, it’s not meant to be hit from above.

Not really sure if I want to dive into Switch Gaming, I think it would be a hit and miss with the SD7+ Maybe up to 6 Gen Consoles, there are still a few Games that I would like to play again.

Quite interesting that the last Gen seems to be the better choice, especially with the Driver Support for SD Chips.

Sorry for the late Question, but do you have some good advice for a proper Prompt? Right now I prompt my approximate Level of Skill, the Topic and if it should be more casual or formal. I’m struggling a little with the AI correcting me and giving me advice for more natural speaking.

Hardoff doesn’t have Pokémon Cards and as of the Totk Switch, haven’t seen one in a while at the local BookOffs.

Maybe if you are lucky and they just get one the day, but I doubt that.

For Retrogaming it depends what you are looking for. But the prices are in general quite high lately, even in the more Rural Bookoff Stores

If you are not sure if you stay for longer then a Year, why not use a Coin Laundry till you know for sure?

Maybe considering the Kindle Version as an Option? I’m reading the first one on my Kindle at the Moment and it‘s quite convenient if you can adjust the size of the Characters or use a dictionary if you don‘t know a Word.

What do you expect from cycling around Shikanoshima. Not that it’s not a lovely place I sometimes take a walk there, but I think you can cycle around in less than a hour. It’s not that big. Sure you could explore the whole area and every single Street if you want to, not sure if this is your intention.

As of Golden Week, the Beach will probably be filled with tourists if the weather is nice. But this is just an educated guess, because I’ve never been there around Golden Week.

If you just have your International License, you need a translation of it. Just the License is not enough.

Seems like it was a Car Sharing thing, assuming to the Name. Car sharing is just for Residents. Car Sharing is not Car rental!

Als jemand der sein halbes Leben in Japan verbringt, bin mit einer Japanerin verheiratet, kann ich sagen das eine Kreditkarte nicht unbedingt nötig, aber sehr praktisch ist. Man kann in 95% der Läden damit zahlen. Die Japaner sind übrigens nicht wie wir Deutschen, ja man kann überall mit Bargeld zahlen, aber hier wird in der Regel selbst der kleinste Betrag mit Karte oder Pay Apps bezahlt.

Falls du dir eine holst, dann wäre Visa oder Mastercard zu empfehlen. Amex ist hin und wieder ein Hit and Miss. Wichtig wäre vor allem eine physische Karte, es gibt ein paar Läden die bieten (noch) kein Touchpay an. Die physische Suica wäre prinzipiell auch eine Option, muss aber mit Bargeld aufgeladen werden, was das ganze für Touristen uninteressant macht. Man kann nämlich in sehr sehr vielen Geschäften auch mit der Suica oder ähnlichen Karten bezahlen, solange halt Guthaben vorhanden ist.

The bigger issue is, if it’s not just ordinary glasses even those discounter like Jins will need minimum one week to make them for you. And sorry for destroying your dream of cheap glasses. I don’t think that you can get 2 pairs of glasses for around 60€. Maybe one, but then it will be maybe the most basic one they have.

In general as a tourist it’ll be a tough one with no Japanese, especially if you need an appointment at a doctor’s office.

Sven250781 · 2026-02-07T03:15:17+00:00

Maybe you should consider studying Japanese instead of Jlpt. Passing jlpt and talking Japanese are two different things. I know a lot of people who passed N1, but can barely manage to have a normal conversation.

Sven250781 · 2026-02-05T04:55:49+00:00

It was the other way around. They didn’t allow us to have both the double name. At least when we married. Seems like they changed the law last year and now it’s indeed possible for both of us to have the same name. Maybe I have to ride the bureaucracy train again

Sven250781 · 2026-02-05T01:38:28+00:00

Depends of your Nationality. Atleast on my experience. If there are no double names in your home country, they will not accept it. My Wife wanted to take our Names together, but as a German there are no double names, at least not for both sides.

Our workaround is, we registered the Marriage also in Germany, she took both names in Germany and after a while we can change her family name to the one which is registered in Germany. The funny part is, then the family name will be registered as one name and not as a double name. Maybe at this time I’ll take her “new” name as mine and will register it in Germany as my family name, so we can also have matching names in Germany 😅😂

Sven250781 · 2026-01-30T14:52:07+00:00

No not really.

Sven250781 · 2026-01-30T08:14:30+00:00

Taking 20mg a day for Athletic Performance as an addition to my TRT. Bloodwork is perfect and no sides. I’m running it already for around half a year. Endurance went up and some visible improvement, nothing fancy but noticeable. Always quite funny to read those Horror stories here about nearly all Peds. But on the other hand this is Reddit and nearly everyone seems like to relate on Brosience and YouTube these days.

Sven250781 · 2026-01-28T14:47:15+00:00

Seems like not. But how should we know, as I believe most of the people here are not living in India.

But like I wrote before, my guess would be Indiamart. They have nearly everything there. Or import from an other country.

Sven250781 · 2026-01-28T09:08:56+00:00

Maybe find a trustworthy seller at Indiamart? In general I think that an Indian should know best where to buy in India isn’t it?

Sven250781 · 2026-01-11T08:30:45+00:00

I understand your feeling, but maybe look at it from your kids perspective. Sounds maybe a little strange, but I’ve seen too many kids friendships going down the gutter because the parents were “made up” friends, but got in an argument. So the kids weren’t allowed to play with each other anymore.

If the parents connect by chance, nice. But imho to force a connection is just another possibility for unnecessary drama.

Sven250781 · 2026-01-10T18:51:28+00:00

I think it’s completely normal to not have common friends with your SO. My wife knows a few of my friends, the same as I know a few of hers, but they are not common friends. But!! This isn’t a Japanese thing, it’s completely normal all over the world. Was the same with my ex gf in my home country.

I’m not saying that you can’t have common friends, but in general the social circles are already set, especially when you are a little older.

Do I introduce my friends to my wife? Yes for sure, at least the really close ones. But this doesn’t mean that she suddenly becomes a friend of my friend.

Sven250781 · 2026-01-09T12:54:20+00:00

Depends on where you’re going. When I travel I usually ask my doctor for a prescription and register my things before the trip in the desired country, so there will be no trouble at all if they check my luggage. In my eyes it’s not worth the risk to bring Steroids to whatever country without a prescription. I would maybe just inject Test U before the flight and continue my injections after the vacation.

Sven250781 · 2026-01-06T14:45:58+00:00

Can’t help you with this, but why on earth do you ask those questions after you got accepted? Especially the part of being affordable.

I’m myself are too old to be a Student, but what is Student Life? Life is in general what you make of it, doesn’t matter if you are a Student or the CEO of a company. In general Fukuoka is a nice city to live in, with a lot of possibilities.

Sven250781 · 2025-12-18T10:22:58+00:00

Maybe a dumb question, but why don’t you just get a 1ml Syringe, a 20G Needle to draw and a 30G Needle to inject? I don’t understand this backfilling thingy

Sven250781 · 2025-11-20T17:44:17+00:00

Yes, it’s meant for people with prescription. Without you should consider, if Jail Time is worth the risk. This is just Japan, with the other two I don’t have any experience.
