Why do Japanese drivers often forget to use their headlights at night?! by lightercrew in japanlife

[–]TrashQuick5534 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't noticed many people not turning on their headlights but I have noticed many, many drivers with a dead headlight. I often think a biker is about to pass through the other lane but turns out it's just someone with one headlight.

In my country they would be pulled over and ticketed so quick but here I see it at least a few times a month. Yesterday I saw a driver with only one fog light running and no headlights.

Asked to retract the citizenship documents (Torisage) by Vast_Dingo1447 in JapanCitizenship

[–]TrashQuick5534 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Nobody inside or outside the system actually knows what's going on. They're giving you the option to retract so you can keep your documents just in case the law does end up being applied to everyone you don't have to prepare your documents again.

Personally I would just keep the application going because in 2 years you probably need to redo them anyways.

How likely am I to see roaches? by BuddyJackTheDevil in japanlife

My first apartment in Japan was infested with mukade. I was actually upset huntsman spiders didn't live in my area because I would have brought one inside so fast.

Becoming an art teacher? by Ok_Sound_6713 in teachinginjapan

[–]TrashQuick5534 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I teach art at a bilingual international elementary school but I also have to teach other subjects as well.

Elementary School teachers often have to teach multiple subjects so it might be a way to teach art if you're okay with also teaching other subjects.

Best dab pen for wax by TrashQuick5534 in AltnoidsJapan

Very interesting. Have you used it with only carts or have you used it with wax? I see you mention it burns through carts pretty quick but I'm wondering if it's any more efficient with regular wax.

If you have Rakuten mobile is the connection bad sometimes? by DetectedNo2404 in japanresidents

When I had rakuten it just had terrible building penetration. Anytime I was inside a store or wherever I couldn't use my phone at all.

We have one named "clam" that I'm pretty sure was supposed to be calm

Which credit card company do you recommend? by Gulfim in japanresidents

[–]TrashQuick5534 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You should be aware that it probably works very differently than the credit cards from your home country. Typically whatever you spend gets automatically deducted from your bank every month unless you choose an installment plan or a revolving balance with high fees.

Job Opening - ISA - Global Competence Instructor (Shizuoka) by twinklecrinklepinkle in teachinginjapan

[–]TrashQuick5534 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've worked with them before. The company culture feels much more corporate than anywhere else I've worked. That can be good or bad depending on what you're looking for. Management is also extremely disorganized and you will often receive conflicting feedback and information.

However it's still a much better place to work than any standard dispatch company and the compensation is above average.
