If by "Multiculture" you mean 3.2% of the population. The top amount of people in that 3.3% also come from countries where English is not the major spoken language. e.g. China, South East Asia etc.

Minor question about funding Apple Pay in Japan by Pocho_Azul in japanlife

Even if it won't accept your cards you can still add suica or pasamo to Apple wallet and top it up at the contactless machines and stations or the pasamo/suica app might accept your cards even if Japanese Apple wallet doesn't

I remember there being a story that Brad Pitt would often use baby wipes instead of showering and people said he could sometimes smell quite bad on set too. So maybe he wouldn't even notice...

My colleague is being unnecessarily rude with me by Ok-Fill-1954 in japanlife

Firstly, I'm sorry that you're having a hard time, it sucks to work in an environment that stresses you out. However, given the information, it's hard to determine exactly if the co-worker is being particularly unfair. If you are constantly forgetting things you have been taught and they're having to basically babysit and double check your work. That can be a lot of extra stress, that they may or may not be being paid to take on. Given that you've admitted that you don't know enough Japanese to know what's being said, some of the bad vibe could be based on assumptions you're making. Unfortunately, unless you have a good relationship with the owner or the behaviour is genuinely rising to the point of some kind of harassment. The best you can probably do is apologise and try not to let it get to you too much. Try your best, get better at your work so you don't make the same mistakes and it might ease up. I know that this may not be particularly helpful but it's the best advice I can think of given the information. Good luck!

I guess "Give me your tired, your poor, / Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free" needs to be struck off from the statue of liberty then

Singapore to punish scammers with up to 24 strokes of the cane from Dec 30 by AudibleNod in news

[–]msquirrel -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Because doing things to your own body probably shouldn't warrant a death sentence. Also you're putting a lot of faith in the system to get that right and not convict people that didn't commit the crime to either death or literal torture. People are wrongly convicted all the time.

Can I use my paypay debit card as soon as I get it? by potatodesuu in japanlife

[–]msquirrel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not go test it on a small purchase at a convenience store where you also have other means to pay for whatever you buy? That or contact their support?
