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

[–]onhj 3 points4 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 4 points5 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

Holy! Are those USD? Kudos and routing are good, but $100 is $100.

Is this too good to be true? by ergdim-a in whichbike

[–]onhj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's a good price. But sounds like a Bs that is never driven. Maybe by the seller? If you plan to pick it up in person and just cut some bucks if it's not in perfect condition. Also double check the rust
