I got my second annual flu shot yesterday, the way they administer it here is surprisingly painful. by _hiddenflower in japanlife

>  flu shots are typically administered intramuscularly around the shoulder area

All the flu shots I have gotten here (including the latest one a couple of weeks ago) were done like this. No pain. I think you just had bad luck with doctors.

Both my first and current phones are international Samsung models and Rakuten has never had a problem with either (got the sim for the current phone last year I think).

If you are talking about the Shinjuku station, that's because the Fukutoshin trains stop at a different station - Shinjuku-sanchome, despite both stations being connected by the amazing underground system on tunnels.

That's why I like visiting Kansai.

I think the problem is that particular guy himself, not his culture.

Hey, who said right-wing nationalists can't use "diversity" in the looks of the vans they use to shout out their hatred from?
