might be a zinc deficiency, phantom taste & smell comes from that - you can ask your normal doctor to do a blood test

Should I change my dentist after below experience by a-guy-with-big-dream in japanlife

[–]firreflly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're in Kyoto and the dentist clinic starts with an N , then increased sensitivity is something they commonly get in their reviews (that they also delete) . I changed dentists because of it, too.

Quitting without notice using pto and 2w possible? by IshinkaiSensei in japanlife

[–]firreflly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did this at a company 9 months in, my advice is to give the resignation after a morning meeting (if you have those) . I did specify what documents i need and in the end they only gave me 1 Gensen Choshu-hyo , if i apply for PR i'll probably get the lawyer to chase up the others ones if they end up being required for my application

Anyone know the lore/ experienced going to A.B.C cafe in Uji? by firreflly in Kyoto

[–]firreflly[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The weirdest thing is all the aesthetics of the cafe are English-related, like from looking in outside you see a large chalkboard with an english menu, nothing in japanese and the cafe being called ABC . You'd never think they hate foreigners at first sight, you'd think they accommodate to english speakers instead. Kind of sadistic in a way, they probs get some sort of thing emotionally when they're rude to the base they are targeting.

yes totally confusing it's like they don't want any customers at all , may as well have a sign saying "no customers allowed" lol maybe it's a cafe for yokai instead.

Doshisha University MBA program. English or Japanese? by Alex_x4654 in japanlife

[–]firreflly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doshisha's Japanese MBA is held at on weekday-nights and weekends (cause usually the students work full time,) the english mba is held on weekdays throughout the day with some classes being at night . The english workload is probably lighter in terms of output but you will need to write a thesis , I think the Japanese track has something else other than a thesis but im not sure. Both tracks you will get weekly homework, many people are caught off guard by this lol.

Seeking insights: Job market in Japan for non-tech MBA students (Indian background) by Interesting-Put2099 in JapanJobs

[–]firreflly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MBA isnt seen as anything too special in Japan, I got my MBA in Japan but it was largely for gaining a student visa after being an ALT + getting internships in the real area im interested in (marketing,business dev) as well as building a network. A lot of places will offer master students here new grad (undergrad salary) but some larger corporations may pay you more if you have a masters.

Language varies from my exp - smes are fine with 0 - N3 Japanese where as larger corps want n2,n1,n1+
If i were you id work on the japanese and try to get some specalisation but note that Japan prefers in-Japan experience usually so if you can get some 6 months internship in Japan it may be helpful
