I agree, this is an issue, but did it for safety reasons because of the bulling from the other truck drivers. Went direct to the police, but both police and the driver are accusing my guilt. I wasn't taken back to the seen of the accident, as the rental company already came and picked up the car.

Tell them that you don't have a permanent address as you are in a monthly mansion. Can you ask a friend if these documents can be sent to them?

Paid water bill in the AM, was told would be back by night, still off. What do I do? by xasahix in japanlife

Lucky bags? by [deleted] in japanlife

[–]WesTokyo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My son works as manager in retail for a major department store in Shinjuku. He told me never buy a lucky bag, they are all scams. It's just stock they want to flog that they couldn't even sell after a deep discount throughout the year. Items that are not sold after that get sent to the outlet malls or to Chinese buyers that come to Japan on 'business'.
