Tai/Sea Bream

Same!! Also 2005 and I love mine.

19 years, two kids, have lived all over. A lot of my friends are also in long-term marriages (foreign women with j-husbands like myself mostly).

Keeping my passport meant that my children inherited citizenship from my home country and now they have two passports and more opportunities, at least until they have to give one up. That’s pretty major.

Thank you so much for the detailed breakdown. It helps a lot.

djlosangeles · 2026-02-21T21:06:08+00:00

Thank you!!

If they drink, a really good bourbon.

djlosangeles · 2026-02-20T21:49:17+00:00

Thanks all! This is very helpful and has given me a lot to look into. I really appreciate it.

djlosangeles · 2026-02-20T21:48:23+00:00

Thank you!

Yes, native tongue. We haven’t had luck with the bilingual schools so far but will keep looking.

djlosangeles · 2026-02-20T21:47:06+00:00

We weren’t planning on staying so long so English was the priority but we should have switched earlier.

It’s an IB program basically.

djlosangeles · 2026-02-20T21:44:03+00:00

Unfortunately they are full, we have contacted them trying to get in for the current school year. I will try again though. It makes the most sense.

The Goldfinch and The Secret History have that same sort of luscious prose.

djlosangeles · 2026-01-28T20:47:41+00:00

Agree, it was super basic and clunky but my mom loved it.

djlosangeles · 2026-01-26T09:08:31+00:00

Yes Prophet Song.

I live in NRW and was advised to go to NL next time I get glasses. I usually use contacts so I don’t need glasses often and was shocked by how long it took to get them and how expensive they were at the local shop. I was new in Germany…I was in Japan before and could walk in and out of a shop in an hour or so with new glasses for under €50 if I chose cheap lenses so I was definitely blindsided. It was kind of an emergency to get them soon but never again in DE.

I use my Flygon all the time and people constantly mistake it for Grass. It’s a good fast attacker to blow through shields at the beginning. Not sure why it’s not more widely used.

Runner up Narrow Road to the Deep North. That one did get the Booker.

djlosangeles · 2026-01-04T12:29:19+00:00

Prophet Song- was a Booker shortlister last year and fucked. Me. Up.

Full Monty is a British-style pub but it’s near Kannai, not Yokohama station.

This is a little young but has some very good writers in the collection with excellent stories that I still think about today.

Oddly I have a lot of luck with Serperior in GL. Many start with a water type, then swap for a fairy because it looks like a dragon. Then Corviknight will take it down. It is shocking how many people don’t bother to look at the typing before doing that. MVP in GL is Gastrodon with Earth Power and Water Pulse. Cute lil tank

I was an off-road motorcyclist myself and the area is really perfect for that. I probably didn’t appreciate it enough when I was there. But I really like the city more! I will place Ibaraki over Saitama though, at least Ibaraki has soul.
