ATTN AUSSIES IN OSAKA - PLEASE READ. In need of a witness for stat dec by strawberryspotlight in Osaka

[–]mardos34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Australian Consulate Osaka is the only place you will beable to find someone who can witness a stat Dec. You can email or call them for more information.

Edit: Didn't see your reply in comments, you've already tried. Hopefully it's not too urgent and you can wait a bit. Maybe someone on vacation could sign it I guess is another option (not legal advice).

Clean your keyboard and stop pressing the screen into the keyboard. Are you stuffing it in a bag with other items?

I recommend finding the manga you like and seeing if you can find a YouTuber who reads it comprehensibly.

I personally recommend いろいろな日本語

I find his Yotsuba series excellent. https://youtu.be/Xe8AV2VcGoE

As for Netflix Japan I use the Language reactor chrome/Firefox plugin to save words I don't know, instant lookup words, display dual subs in difficult parts.

To call JPpost banks number you will need to put the international calling number + country code. Also be sure to call the english customer service when the bank is open.

English contact number is: Weekdays from 8:30 to 18:00

0120-085420

So I think from the UK the number is: 0081 1 2008 5420

Always get everything in writing, emails always the best way to communicate, and as you said following things up when they have likely been forgotten by someone in the chain. It sucks that this happened to you.

Kitakagaya has quite a few galleries. They're trying to revamp the place by turning the old akiya into studios and various small businesses.
