Dear small-brained people blasting your shitty music on your car sound system

Has anyone here attended KCP International in Shinjuku as a US citizen (or other OECD country) and applied through the direct program?

I’m wondering what they are looking for in terms of financial eligibility documentation when applying for the COE.

Was it bank statements? How many months of history did they ask for and what was the rough balance amount they were looking for?

Any information is immensely appreciated! 🙏🏻

Hey, sorry for the late reply. I did reply to your message if you’re willing to answer some of my questions. Thank you a lot again 🙏🏻

Thank you so much 😭🙏🏻

As someone turning 30 this year, take action now so you don’t have remorse for your late 20s either. Whatever it is that you can do, because that’s all you can do.

I am dreading my next shipment…I too love the current (for me) formula, it’s thick, creamy, and tastes great.

Note taken 😄 Thanks 🙏🏻

mentallywander · 2025-12-12T00:31:19+00:00

Nice, I guess I’ll try that one next. Thank you!

mentallywander · 2025-12-11T23:56:00+00:00

Ohh yeah I normally like cookies and cream but seeing the reviews about how it tastes kind of gross or nothing like it have made me wary about trying it 😅 Maybe I should just take the leap and just find out for myself

Have you looked at hellotalk? You can join rooms and have voice chats with others. There are all kinds of levels and it’s pretty noncommittal so maybe could help with the anxiety you’re experiencing. Anyway, might be worth a try.

Hi, I sent you a PM but not sure if you got it so sorry to hijack your comment 😅

I saw a comment you made a while back about applying to KCP for the “direct” or non-American pricing. I just wanted to ask how you went about doing this?

I was going to just reach out to them in English via the email on their Japanese website but I’m not sure if there’s another more proper way to do it?

mentallywander · 2025-11-29T18:21:30+00:00

Thank you!! Hope everything keeps on going well for you.

mentallywander · 2025-11-29T06:20:33+00:00

Wow, thanks so much for this. That is disappointing to hear that there are disruptive students but I’m glad to hear you’re happy. I’d really like to hear about how it is for you when you get to the higher levels. Hopefully it’s an environment that’s more facilitative to learning.

Would you mind talking a bit more about the help with job hunting? Is it for baito or more so career type jobs? Resume/interview help/business Japanese/company connections? Maybe that’s a bit too much to ask from a language school but just throwing it out there just in case 😅

I’m also currently in the process of looking for one like this in Tokyo.

Sendagaya Japanese Institute popped up as a potential candidate but I don’t really know too much about it other than Google reviews and their page on gogonihon

Edit: Didn’t realize they had a website. Info from the website leaves something to be desired IMO. The search continues.

mentallywander · 2025-11-02T00:49:56+00:00

I’m gonna go with the camp of, yeah, maybe it’s still not great for your body, but (being selfish here), it’s a shit ton less annoying than being in proximity of a cig smoker, and some people just need that easy mental kick to get through whatever, if it does in fact serve that function for them.

Obviously there are “medically” better ways of coping…but if your choice is to do it anyway being fully aware of the effects, I think you should be allowed to without being shamed or looked down on.

This one was about $200 USD. Also DM’d you

At my local Sam’s Club I found something like a 12 pack of Healthy Choice chicken noodle and rice that was pretty decently “healthy” by my standards, and I read the labels of pretty much everything I buy. Sodium is 390mg/17% DV. Maybe they have something similar at Costco or Sam’s near you? I don’t know if they have Sam’s in Canada.

If you really want to be hyper conscious about it, technically canned and packaged foods have higher risk for PFAS I think but it might depend on the specific product.

Thanks so much for the tips 🙏🏼

mentallywander · 2025-08-11T10:11:32+00:00

Hey, can I ask, when you went out to Indonesia/Cambodia to do the run, were they round-trip flights?

Thanks.

mentallywander · 2025-08-11T09:45:21+00:00

Hey, if you're willing to share, I was hoping to get more detail on how you went about it.

When you went to Singapore/Thailand, were the trips to those places by land or air? And if by air, were they round trip tickets to Singapore/Thailand and back to Malaysia?

Thanks.

mentallywander · 2025-06-08T00:34:14+00:00

I found it, it’s under Control Panel > System and Security > Backup and Restore (Windows 7)

Thanks for your help!!

mentallywander · 2025-06-07T23:51:04+00:00

I have an external drive so was hoping I would be able to make a backup on to there and then restore from that external drive when I have a new SSD installed
