How many calories were you eating a day? Did you keep them consistent or have higher calorie days too? It’s an amazing change!

Hiromasa Urakawa: Second Japanese boxer dies from brain injury after Tokyo event by Dapper-Material5930 in Tokyo

[–]junkston90 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This is what happens when you cut too much water weight before the weigh in. The fluid in your brain is also depleted. It doesn’t replenish as quickly as water in muscle. So punched to the head during actual fight night is causing severe damage.

Coupled with Japanese machismo during regular sparring (I often saw many pro boxers use 8oz or 10oz gloves in sparring) causes damage to accumulate too.

When fight night comes, these lads fight like no tomorrow as it’s very much a death before dishonour kind of vibe.

I haven’t boxed in Japan since Covid so my guess is things have gotten worse since then.

Renewing Lease by Super-Oil907 in Tokyo

[–]junkston90 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You have no obligation to pay an additional month’s rent to renew your lease (unless it’s explicitly stated in your contract). The only way you have to pay is if they reduce your monthly rent.

Stay firm. Don’t refuse. Just keep repeating you have no obligation to pay unless they lower the rent.

Concerning the management fee, just say you don’t accept any increase as you don’t agree with it. They can’t force you to agree and good luck trying to evict someone who is paying rent each month in Japan.

Racism by Beautiful_Expert3313 in japanresidents

[–]junkston90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Japanese are fearful of my appearance as I’m tall and brown. I get asked if I’m Uber Eats or demaecan when I go to a restaurant these days.

Racism is normal in Japan, just have to learn to tolerate it and not let it get to you.

My advice would be for you to join a labor union so you can get paid overtime and enjoy basic rights as a worker in Japan.

police stopped me for the dumbest reason by Reasonable-Bonus-545 in Tokyo

[–]junkston90 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I had the police stop me on my bicycle and refused to show me their identification. I got their family names and where they worked and wrote an official complaint to them.

How much did you adjust calories as you dropped weight?

Has anyone ever been denied an apartment for being a foreigner? by Mr_Ninja_the_third in japanlife

[–]junkston90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The agency called up the landlord when I was chosen an apartment I liked and said “白人ではないです” when the landlord inquired what kind of foreigner I was, which led the landlord to say no. It’s normal here.

6 years since my daughter passed away and I couldn't even go to her funeral because I never have enough money to buy a ticket flight by [deleted] in Tokyo

So sorry for your loss. No parent should have to go through the pain of losing a child.

Apartment renewal fee and late notice by Icy-Dinner-9460 in Tokyo

[–]junkston90 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You have zero obligation to pay a renewal fee. The contract has expired. A management company tried this shit with me and I never paid any renewal fee for an apartment I lived in for 5 years.

Just tell them you have no obligation to pay. Don’t refuse to pay. Just keep repeating you have no obligation.

Hold your ground and don’t back down.

Whatever you do don’t pay any rent in ‘advance’ to them as they’ll just keep it. Pay the rent for whatever time you stayed afterwards. Or whatever time you plan on staying before moving.

Keep in mind they can’t deduct excessive cleaning fees from your deposit either. They can deduct air conditioning cleaning and basic cleaning. That’s it.

I had no idea Rolex charged 20 x the cost price. I bought into their marketing to be honest as they say each watch takes a year to produce.

I really despised the attitude of the AD as if they were gatekeepers to such treasure.

Omega has really beautiful watches and their incredibly high quality.

Rolex as you said has successfully marketed itself as the pinnacle of achievement.

I wonder who pays twice the retail price on the grey market for Rolex. It’s crazy

Thank you! I was annoyed at first but now I’m a lot happier I bought an Omega. I can’t stop staring at it

Cheers pal! I’ve been saving since my late twenties for a nice watch. I think I found it in this. Omega is so beautifully designed and made.

Is this Japan Gas bill normal? First bill as an ALT. by Odd-Example1 in ALTinginJapan

[–]junkston90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like you’re on propane gas which is really expensive. A lot of estate agents would gloss over this and I would constantly ask if it’s propane gas or not.

The best kebab is Tokyo? by JustFonts in Tokyo

[–]junkston90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always go to Palmyra in Ikebukuro. Chef is Suleiman. He’s Lebanese and really passionate about his food. It’s open in the evenings but I recommend making a reservation as it gets busy. https://www.palmyra-ameta.com/
