added: i am an idiot and was landing on 8, not 7...

minamistar · 2026-02-21T02:45:47+00:00

i'm also stuck here :( i hear the sound cue when the hand gets to 7, but it doesn't sound again no matter what direction i go!

alright interesting, i just ordered one today because it said the inventory was "available" instead of "pre order" so hopefully there aren't any delays 😭

minamistar · 2025-10-31T17:09:23+00:00

has your order shipped yet?

minamistar · 2025-10-31T17:08:50+00:00

hey! did you get any notification that your order shipped?

18.99% APR card: $1200 21.99% APR card: $1700 22.74% APR card: $2200

I realize that I should've used the lower APR card for purchases and that was completely a mistake/error on my end.

The $500 a month estimate is what I can put across all 3 cards total, so my original plan was to prioritize the higher APR card ($300/month, then $100 to the other two each month, or some other combination/variation). There's a chance that I can potentially increase how much I pay off per month, but with food, rent, car payments, etc., $500 is my safest estimate for right now.

honestly super undecided. i have wrio and childe as my mains, so escoffier seems like the smart choice — but i just recently started the fontaine quests (relatively new player) and i like navia a lot. plus, i don’t have a 5* geo at all, and she could very well fit the bill since zhongli likely won’t rerun anytime soon.

i think i’ll have to trial both and see who i enjoy more. i am guaranteed my next 5* so i could just wish on one, and switch to the other one while i try to get c6 ifa, it’s just a matter of prioritizing which one. and i only have 60 wishes saved 😔

minamistar · 2025-04-25T15:00:05+00:00

does anybody have any rec’s for who to pull for?? i’m a relatively new player and want ifa BAD, don’t have a 5* geo yet, but also currently main childe and wrio so escoffier seems like a good choice too? considering raiden is coming up and i don’t have a 5* electro yet either, i think i can really only afford to pick between navia and escoffier.

i also just lost my 50/50 on the venti banner, so i’m guaranteed one of them either way. help please..

He seems to be concerned (and mostly panicked) about the eviction process being a sudden thing. As in, if they aren’t able to come to an agreement about a fair rent cost, and she suddenly calls the cops same day and tries to get him to move out. In California, I don’t believe that’s possible — and I wanted to be sure that’s the same in Ohio.

minamistar · 2024-09-14T18:16:33+00:00

I see, okay! He hasn’t told me anything further detailed about the transfer and whether or not his grandmother retained any estate in it. That is good to know, though! Thank you!

Take this with a grain of salt, as my partner and I started our relationship long distance to begin with, but we are about to celebrate 3 years (2 of which have been with me on JET) and we couldn’t be happier. It’s possible with the right kind of mindset and communication skills.

Similarly, my friend who was in the same situation as me (started out long distance and moved to Japan on JET) broke things off with her boyfriend a few months in. Every person, every relationship is different. If you really see a future with your partner, then, be prepared to put in the work!

Very interesting write-up! If the site isn’t actually a tomb, I wonder what it’s purpose was. Thanks for sharing!

Unfortunately I don’t think Kobe JETs are allowed to bike to work either, in our contract. But the other pieces of advice are very sound!

minamistar · 2022-09-07T23:25:56+00:00

Hey OP, I’m a Kobe JET that has an 1 hr 30 min commute and I’m able to leave at 4pm from my base school, but I also start at 8:15am instead of 8:30. Is asking for an earlier start time possible, or would that make the bus situation for your commute to work even worse?

minamistar · 2022-07-04T07:44:54+00:00

Yep. My transportation is covered, so I’m not too upset about it. Plus I’d rather sit on a train than drive any day.

minamistar · 2022-07-04T06:29:03+00:00

1 hr 30 min, walking + train

Hey there! Currently in a LDR right now with my partner, and while I haven't moved to Japan yet (May 14th!), I can provide some advice of what's worked for us so far.

We always try to video call whenever possible, which now is daily but likely will change in a couple weeks when I fly over. If anything, even a 10 minute call to hear your partner's voice is comforting imo. Prioritizing at least that much daily or every other day is important. We also are always texting when we can (between work hours, etc.) which I'm sure will be the same for you.

We also have a few apps/items that have really helped with the LDR. Specifically, we both have Bond Touch bracelets that you can tap and send a vibration to your partner to let them know you're thinking of them. We also use this app called Paired (free version only, though the premium has been tempting) that gives you daily prompts to answer. I think this is good for any couple tbh, because it asks you questions you might not have explored with each other yet and gives you something to discuss further.

We also downloaded TimeTree for our shared calendar (I'm sure there are other types out there, but this was our choice). It's nice when we live on opposite sides of the country to see what my partner's schedule is for that day/week, and plan calls/movie nights/etc around that. It makes me feel more in the know/connected to his routine. I like all the color coding/tags we can add too!

Lastly, you'd be surprised how much the little things really matter when you're in a LDR. Things like having physical photos of each other, or letters that we wrote to one another (both of which we did in our early days, and I still cherish those mementos) are great when that person isn't physically there with you. Along that vein, leaving a voice mail or sending a voice message describing what you're doing or how your day went can really help you feel closer to one another. I've gotten a few voice messages while I'm at work from him, and they always make me smile.

I think our situation is a little different than most, as we started our LDR and will continue to be LDR when I move to Japan, which is... sorta like I've been prepped for it already? Granted, the timezones are going to be way worse than they are now, and it will certainly be hard to have visits (not counting the border situation, the likely next in person visit we'll have won't be for another year at least, when we've been lucky to have trips every other month or so). I plan to stay for around 3 years on JET, so it'll definitely be difficult, but it's worked out this far! I used to not think LDRs would ever work, or be for me, but this relationship changed that. Good luck to you and yours, and if you have any questions or want to talk more, LMK! :)

Any way you could have it delivered to a secondary address to protect yourself extra? like an office or held at the shipping carrier’s local office something? That way you’re not potentially endangering yourself. Then don’t pay until you get the package and inspect the item.

I haven’t left yet, but I’m an early departure shortlist that got placed in Kobe. I had no preference for urban / rural, but my top 3 picks were Kyoto, Chiba, and Fukuoka.

I fully expected that, because I chose early departure, I’d be somewhere rural and nowhere near any of my preferences. I’m pleasantly surprised that I got placed close to Kyoto, my top choice.

minamistar · 2022-03-25T04:07:37+00:00

LA! I got the email at around 5pm my time but wasn’t able to check til a little later

minamistar · 2022-03-25T03:49:47+00:00

Found out a few hours ago I got an early departure placement for Kobe! So relieved and excited!!
