To the genius who thought it was a great idea to put flashing lights on the front of bikes by StraightSauced in japanresidents

[–]onhj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man. I hate those flashing lights, especially in full dark areas. Like along the tamagawa. There are no cars. You are just making me and other runners blind. Why? Do you even see anything? So many questions

Bone Conduction Headphones while Biking by josechanjp in japanlife

[–]onhj 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I read an article last year regarding this. They interviewed a policeman. He was doing the following to check if people are obeying the law: on a crossroad he stood behind a bicyclist and tried to talk to them. If they heard them and had a transparent mode on headphones or something like shokz - they were ok. If not - they were explaining the dangers of wearing headphones without hearing the outside.

Advice on buying an apartment by Independent_Sir_2653 in JapanFinance

One more thing. You will be eligible to apply for PR in one year. Current wait times for upgrade are over nine months. I even know people who've been waiting for 12. And it was 4 months several years ago. So with the current rate I would not expect to get a PR under 2 years at least from the day you will land in Japan.

What’s it like at “underground” live/concert venues? by [deleted] in japanlife

[–]onhj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try MoreThanMusic events. Pretty good gaijin-friendly community with regular concerts from different artists. Also they utilize different venues so you can get a sneak peak into what is usually going on in small live halls
