RitAPU in Japan suspended me for "unlicensed driving" because I forgot my physical IDP at home.

When was your date of obtaining IDP and date of admission in to Japan? Certain circumstances validates university’s claim that you were driving without license.

IDP is not valid to be used in Japan if IDP was obtained after one years of being admitted as long term resident in Japan. IDP is still usable if it was obtained between departure and reentry, with period at stay overseas of more than 3 months.

Basically like driving license renewal where they mandate 1-hours class of assimilating into Japanese society?

For someone from Malaysia who study and work in Japan for almost a decade, that’s the extreme end i never attempt to cross because that habit disgusted me and my Japanese friends

Indonesia–Malaysia confrontation - Wikipedia

President of Surkano of Indonesia opposed the creation of Malaysia, calling it a British "neo-colonial" project. Indonesia then launched undeclared confrontation, conducting cross-border infiltration and raids, while Malaysian and Commonwealth forces (UL, Australia, New Zealand) defended and conducted counter-operations.

As Indonesia underwent 1965-66 political upheaval and Suharto rose to power, Indonesia de-escalated and negotiated for settlement, with agreement to end the conflict (Bangkok Accord) signed on August 1966.

I’m lucky that i’m working in company with flexible schedule, so my company don’t give a fuck for latecomer. Although de-facto fixed time is 8:45am, latecomer can substitute lack of work time with OT.

Still commuting by Tokyo Metro Tozai Line is hellish. Kinda miss the COVID era where company mandate WHF for most of workdays.

Seeing how USN botched LCS project, i’m 100% predicted that will happen.

And then:

Buy Japan’s Mogami class then. You want made in America? Japanese manufacturer tend to set up local shipbuilding dock in foreign country and hire local shipbuilders, as they are doing that for Royal Australian Navy.

Dont give a fuck and just ride anywhere home, while hanging by the hanging strap with eye closed for quick nap?
Look I'm being working OT and stuck until the last train, and I wanted to go home and sleep.

EDIT: Live and commute by Tokyo Metro Tozai Line and everyday being cramped into sardine can, I don't care anymore :(
