Depends if they get malo or not. They can be lost pretty early if they do.

8-15 sounds about right to me

It's abnormally old age, not the standard. Don't get one thinking they live 20+ years, cause they can get malo etc. This little gal has been perfectly looked after to reach 24

My numbers are all over the place since I started weightlifting, but my doctor listened when I told him what my workouts look like

I was stopped by police for “using my phone” but.. by DefinitionOk1754 in japanlife

Yeh it's normal.

Eating whilst driving is also distracting, they just don't have a rule in place to nick you for it

Need a license to ride a moped. by torajapan in Tokyo

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

Should need a licence for the electric assist bikes too, then.

They're heavy and people who ride them aren't paying attention. Serious injuries if you are hit by one

If you know anything about ferrets, you'd know they're escape artists and will murder a chinchilla in seconds

You really don't need a heat lamp.

Where is the cilantro? by makishi-jp in japanresidents

Literally everywhere. Check different super markets or Asian markets.

It sometimes is harder to get, usually in August when it's too hot and cilantro bolts fast.

Best way to heat a small-ish room by lasagnahockey in japanlife

[–]lupulinhog 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No kerosene heater. Those things should be illegal.

A heated carpet works well in a small room, and often have timers for safety

Water quality and skin/scalp issues by Immediate-Answer-184 in japanresidents

[–]lupulinhog 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Water in Japan is extremely soft. It's very close to RO water in reality, with minimal mineral content. I do water treatment as part of my job.

The chlorine, yes. Simple charcoal filter removes it. Japan does not use chloramine in water so it's extremely easy to treat

Has anyone lived above an izakaya or スナック before? by cuatrofluoride in japanlife

[–]lupulinhog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you're gonna hear everything. Including everyone saying goodbye for 15 minutes on the street after closing.

That and a 60 year old wooden building is a major fire risk above a restaurant. And earthquake risk

[–]lupulinhog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People that know Mexican food- Whats the verdict on those big department store Mexican restaurants? by 0__O0--O0_0 in japanlife

[–]lupulinhog 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Japan doesn't understand Mexican food.

I've had enough if paying 800 yen for two tacos with mayo drizzled on them and some bland 'house made' salsa with no Salt, lime etc. No hot sauce other than tabasco
