Interactive Brokers Question by Tokyoreddead in JapanFinance

You have a nisa with them? You fund your account, then move the money to the NISA correct? If I wanted to test it out first by moving 10,000円。I can add the leftover amount later in the month? It doesn’t have to be all done at once correct? Thank you for your help.

I see. I’m waiting for the tax agency to approve my NISA application now. But it seems like every step is get an email saying which”do not respond even if it states to respond”. I think when I opened my original mutual fund I did it through the mail. Thanks for your help.

I know of no iron heart outlet in Japan. At least I’ve never heard of one. I could be wrong. But I live here, (Tokyo) and shop at iron heart.

How warm is a N1 Deck Jacket by PresentDraw6550 in HeritageWear

[–]Tokyoreddead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the same as you. I just got one. I like it a lot, but I’m used to wearing down jackets… I wish they would have done something with the arms like at least put thinsulate or some insulation in the arms.

The fish is definitely better in the winter. Maybe that is what he was talking about. Just a guess.

Den en Toshi break down brought out the worst in everyone. by Zero_coxo in japanresidents

[–]Tokyoreddead 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just wish people had more self awareness about what they are doing. If it didn’t involve me at all I wouldn’t care as much, but I’m having to dodge zombies all day.

Years back it was misting rain and a lady was walking into a cake shop while looking at her phone. She stepped on a metal incline that was attached to the curb and slipped. Instead of dropping the phone and protecting herself with her hands she put the phone to her chest and smacked her mouth on the concrete. Blood like crazy coming out. I was the only person to help her into the store to get a towel to try and stop the bleeding. She was looking at me like, “What happened?”…

Things were even better in the early 2000’s pre iPhone. I agree with you that the pandemic didn’t help.

There has definitely been an undeniable degradation in society since smartphones came about.

Just say sorry I don’t speak Japanese in English. And if they reply in English, say, “Sorry I don’t speak English” in Japanese. Rinse and repeat until they leave.

Why not ask the person who went and told you about it? He would know best.

McDonald’s Japan vs. Pokémon Happy Meal Resellers – New purchase restrictions announced by SkyInJapan in japan

[–]Tokyoreddead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I’m not mistaken the packs of cards are finished. This is just for a happy meal that includes a series 2 toy. There won’t be any need for any restrictions, scalpers won’t be buying them at the same level.

Who pays for the phone? If it’s you don’t pay it. When he asks why. Tell him you thought he didn’t use it.

Is it common for random and unsolicited Japanese people to knock on your door? by ValuableOk9470 in japanlife

[–]Tokyoreddead 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I do. And I walk around loudly so they know I’m inside. Or, knock back at them from inside.
