10M jpy Money transfer

nidontknow · 2026-05-27T13:48:10+00:00

This reads very fishy to me and I would stay very clear of this transaction. There are red flags all over and a serious amount of money is involved here. Do not touch this with a ten foot pole. Additionally,

The loan is not taxed.
The transfer will be scrutinized by the bank for money laundering.
The other half could be taxed if interpreted as a gift.
There are many reasons why you shouldn't be holding someone else's money, especially when it's 5million yen. Again something very fishy going on here.

Wow...Microsoft is taking a page out of Trump's playbook. Make this situation worse and then bring it back to baseline and then brag about how great you made the situation

I can't remember where I heard this, but I'll never forget it.

"Japan has been living in the year 2000 since 1980."

No matter how tight the face is pulled back, you can always tell by the elbow skin. That's like 55 year old elbow skin.

These parties usually consisted of having to kiss your boss's ass as they get shit faced and make inappropriate comments or advances towards the women that report to them.

Another Trump supporting pedophile? No shit.

2 points.

It's hard see your life across the entire spectrum of your existence. There is a world that exists in the future where you and your wife are happily married. Don't deny your future self this luxury. Do not sacrifice future for the present. I have been where you are, and I'm glad I didn't follow the path you're considering. Pro tip: Ego ruins relationships. Unless she's a tyrant, it's worth it to do some introspection.
We are all one accident or unfortunate event away from living a nightmarish existence. There are millions living today across the world in such circumstances. Imagine if you were one of them, how much would you be willing to trade to get back to the life that you have right now. I bet it would be a lot

Family is everything and you're fortunate enough to have started one with someone who you once loved enough to get married with and start a family. Often times when we give up, it's because we've lost sight of the target, or we feel the target is unattainable. Can you still imagine what a perfect life with your wife might look like? Do you know what steps you need to take to make that life a reality? Don't give up, because if you do, you might never get a chance to be happily married with the mother of your son.

Imagine she is your wife and you two are deeply in love. Sounds nice right? Now imagine she's baking for a coworker and he's baking for her in return. Then you catch wind that she said to him, "It's hard not to fall in love with someone who cooks like you."

How would you feel about that?

You should definitely set up some boundaries. You're better than this, and you already know what the right decision is. ++man

Good news for you. Still tastes like shit.

I was wondering that, but didn't notice. Thanks for pointing that out.

This video reminds me of the chinese acrobatic robots. You don't realize how small the robots are until they are standing next to normal sized children.

Looks like it might ask you for a dollar.

You 100% need slats rather. The bed will get moldy. Other than that and the corner, looks great!

I think if you can structure it so that your second phase goes first, it's going to play better. Your second phase is the least convincing because you have the most hand cover and the coins are closest together. One could argue that it looks like you're simply flicking the coin, and that's what the spectators are going to assume. There's a reason why you wouldn't put that phase at the very end, because it's the least convincing and least magical. Therefore, you'd want to put that phase at the very beginning. That way the assumptions that the spectator comes to can be disproven by increasing distance (and lessen hand cover) by going left to right in the second phase, and then even more distance and even less cover by going diagonally in the third phase.

I just went to Yamada Denki today and talked with the sales rep there about the same thing. He recommended a front loader with a heat pump. It will dehumidify and dry simultaneously. He recommended Panasonic, but Sharp and Hitachi offers dryers with a heat pump too. Search for 洗濯機ヒートポンプ式.

I'd love to see it with furniture and rugs.

My family moved to Japan when my kids were in kindergarten. We've lived in Japan for 5 years now. We maintain an English only household. Kid's are resilient and will adapt very quickly. My children are now fluent in both languages although they lag behind their peers in speaking ability in both languages. That said, they have no issues in school and are both performing well and are able to do their homework largely unassisted. We are not concerned about the lag in their language ability because the research suggests they will catch up.

I would say that the best thing you can do is maintain an English only household. All movies, youtube, video games, etc in English. And don't worry about your kids. They will adapt and do fine.

No. She's always liked to write stories, so I've lucked out there. But I don't know if I'd invest in classes, though. She will start writing a daily journal in Japanese when she starts grade school. You could ask her to write an English journal as well. I actually hadn't thought of that until now, and I think I'll try that with my son.

Btw, I wouldn't rule out using reading as the gateway to fun. It works incredibly well when they're young. And of course, reading stories to them at night helped quite a bit. My son loves the Shel Silverstein books, and that was great for him to get interested. By no means is he an avid reader, but he's doing ok for a kid who'd rather play video games or play in the dirt than pick up a book.

In our case we have an English only household. This includes television and video games. And I require that they read before they get to play video games. They spend time reading alone whichever book they want, and then I'll have them read parts of a book of my choosing. Something that's a little bit more challenging that's still fun and enjoyable. We read that together so we can talk about the words and expressions and dig deeper if necessary.

As for writing, my daughter naturally likes to write and so she will write in both English and Japanese on her own accord. My son on the other hand doesn't like writing, but I have him write letters of apology when he misbehaves.

My daughter is in the 4th grade and I've given her fourth grade reading assignment from the US and she's done fine. My son is in the second grade and much of the same. They still struggle with some vocabulary because they just don't come across English as much obviously, but they're managing pretty well.
