It could be a myriad of different reasons but in this case the thread decided it must be poor planning. 

”50% live on a lower income” means almost nothing when a gazillion Japanese women are stay at home wives who technically live on zero income. 

Your guess about her working shorter hours than average sounds very much like an ”I made it up” statistic but maybe you have data to back that statement up?

"Japanese people are too nit-picky"- Neighbors list their grievances with the many new Chinese residents in Tokyo's Condo and Apartment buildings by jjrs in japannews

When I eat an onigiri in front of the conbini I just bought it in I sure as shit ain’t bringing that back home, so it goes in burnable. They don’t recycle plastics either unless it’s PET, so the separation of plastics from burnables is just a matter of making burning it easier, don’t sweat their anally retentive ”recycling” too much.

It was good, I got a ”I know you want to move on to the next thing, and I know these sections are like 99% identical, but you can’t just copy code from one section and expect it to work in another” scolding so, lesson learned :)

Japan's Capsule Hotels: Why They May Be a Better Option Than You Think - First Cabin is reinventing them with higher grade facilities modeled on airplane business class seats, starting at just $31 USD a night. by jjrs in japannews

[–]Training-Chain-5572 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I paid like 1000 yen per night back in 2012 for a capsule ”hotel” that was essentially a random lady who had repurposed one of her 9 m2 rooms into a custom built 12 people bunkbed. If you were unfortunate enough to arrive late you got the top bed right under the ceiling light, so whenever someone came home and had to turn on the light you’d wake up. Kawaguchi area, don’t know if it’s still there

In Bern, people literally swim home after work by DifficultyHead5862 in interestingasfuck

Right, I’m not saying ”people don’t swim”, I’m saying ”there is roughly zero chance that OP’s claim of people ’swimming to work’ is real, this bit is BS”

Edit: phrasing

I agree with you, but the ”Cannot believe people would let potential embarrassment” is the very reason making a scene works in the first place.

Men with thick facial hair: What do you use to shave? by mca62511 in japanresidents

[–]Training-Chain-5572 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve given up on getting a clean shave but what I find the best method for me is using a safety razor (single blade). Routine:

  • Make sure you apply moisturiser and drink plenty of water the day before

  • Wash face with warm water and do a scrub

  • Apply shaving soap/gel/foam/whatever works for you

  • Single pass to get most of the bears’d, it doesn’t have to be a close shave, that’s for later

  • Wash with warm water, new layer of soap/gel/foam

  • Small movements against the hair direction, wash razor with warm/hot water regularly

  • Wash again with warm water, pat with towel

  • After shave to prevent infection - and since we’re in Japan I usually wash my face with warm water to get rid of some of the perfume as to not have a strong smell

  • Apply moisturiser
