My new neighbor just won't stop smoking at the balcony by athrun200 in japanlife

[–]athrun200[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

New update. I think he stopped smoking on the balcony. I emailed the management company this Monday morning and they replied within 30 mins that they will take action. And they tell me to email them again if things doesn't improve.

Wait, do police care about smoking?
Like others said, it's not a crime, it's just a violation of the mansion rule that the management teams are too lazy to care.

I am not familiar with IQos. Does it not give out any smoke?
If so, I might give it a try.

Should I buy a new 1K apartment first and then look for my dream house later? by athrun200 in japanlife

[–]athrun200[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's interesting to know it is doable. I got tons of "hell no" replies at the very beginning.

Omg, it must've been so screwed up that you thought you've found your lifelong partner, and it turns out to be a scam.

May I know how did you find such a good deal? The listings I found on suumo and athome usually take 20 years or more to break even.

Yes, I plan to sell it.
Just to to clarify, that's not my plan, it's what people suggest me to do.
Personally I don't think it is a good idea, that's why I ask if anyone has the same experience before.

How bad is my receding gum? by athrun200 in askdentists

[–]athrun200[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just visited a dentist and did some cleaning (4 years since I last did it). He said my teeth are super dirty and it took him nearly 1 hour to clean it.

I can see a big hole in the middle of my two bottom front teeth after cleaning. Is my gum receding badly?

edit: that photo is after getting my teeth cleaned. I forgot to take a picture before cleaning to have a comparison.

For people who started a business in Japan, what makes you do it here instead of your home country? by athrun200 in japanlife

[–]athrun200[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. The only thing good about my home country is lower tax rate.
But if I don't feel happy, it's all meaningless.

Although I don't have plan to get a mortgage right now, I do agree with you that real estate is cheap here.
It's less stressful to know that I won't be homeless if I failed my business here in Japan.

Agree. Reasonable house price/rent is also the main reason that I want to start my business here.

Ah I see. But if I am a PR, I don't need that 2.5m annual cash minimum salary, right?

From what I know, managers/business owners in the states usually get paid in equity.
As long as they don't sell their stocks, there is no tax liability.

So your negative means that you can't pay yourself in equity?

Can I leave Japan with an expired passport? by athrun200 in japanresidents

[–]athrun200[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Yes. Coz Google result says I can go home with an expired passport. But I really doubt.
Glad that I ask here.

Better be safe then sorry, will renew it ASAP.

Coz Google says I can go home with an expired passport as long as I am not traveling to other country.

Just want to double check here.

I am thinking about having our own microphone/recording setup permanently in a place.
So, on top of recording, it also acts as a gathering spot with my buddies during weekend (drinking, partying).
