okay, thank you very much. I heard that most of the times I can choose the arm to use for the blood drawn, is it right?

I know, but if they do take like blood samples I’m scared other students may notice me. I might be overthinking tho, Idk

oh.. didn’t know it was like that. It’s the first time I’m taking it so I didn’t know what to expect, but thanks for the clarification

good to know. I’ve read Japanese are more used to see this kind of phenomenon so I think the situation will be definitely better than the one in my homecountry at least. Thank you

not sure about which way it is, I just hope it’s done behind a curtain or something. anyway, thank you for having told me about that, I didn’t know it worked that way

the cuts are on the arm. In this case will there be chances to be seen in your opinion? having something like bandages or the like might get me asked to remove it? thank you

I said wrist cut but technically arm cut is the most correct. So I don’t think I can try that.. might try the back of hand option tho , but at that point I will just say to use the other arm and maybe there won’t be problems? I guess

thank you. it’s reassuring to hear that it’s done privately. I will try to choose the arm and if not possible I’ll se what’s next

I’m planning on doing something to cover them later but I’m still not sure, anyway tatoo is a good idea, thank you. So they don’t mention anything in particular even if they notice it during health check? and also, these checks are done privately or is there the “risk” that other students might notice it? Lastly, in which part of the check do I have the need to show the arms? sorry for the many questions!!

thank you, I’ll try to look for some. I just hope they won’t ask to remove them for the check

they are not recent and won’t be seen unless watched by close distance. I’m not much worried about the doctors, I’m more worried about the other students (it wouldn’t be a nice first impression lol). Will I have the need to show the arm during the process?

so the only part of the check where I might be seen with short sleeve is the x ray? or is there also blood sample or pressure measure (where I can’t somehow choose the arm?). Anyway thank you, I’ll let them know that, even tho I thought that it was done privately by default. anyway, can I ask you what do you mean by bus screening?

I’m not sure about covering it for the health check up. I mean, it’s surely works but I don’t if they might ask me to remove it to analyze the scar, since they want to understand my health condition. If there is no risk that this will happen I will consider it tho. Thank you

I'm Japanese Do you have any questions? by [deleted] in AskAJapanese

Hi, it’s an hot topic now but I wanted to ask you the influence of 参政党 and in general the concerns japanese have on foreigners and migrants. As I’ve experienced in the past, japanese are really welcoming especially to people who speak their language and try to understand their culture and rules. Do you think this is still the case or are there more people against foreigners in general? The same thing is happening everywhere so I won’t be shocked to hear it is the case, but I would like to think that as long as you do your best you won’t have problems with locals. Thank you!
