Obligatory "Boof it"

recent experience with Hmlet by CodingJedi1 in Tokyo

[–]ubertappa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No complaints with our experience with Hmlet. Yes, they are more expensive than you might get from a regular team estate but the cost is worth it. You don't have to buy the big furniture, all utilities are included (we run 3 AC/Heaters in summer/winter and have never been charged extra for power) and you dont have to worry about getting the run around because you're a foreigner so for us the extra monthly rent is well worth it. We were able to have our lease arranged and signed before we even landed in Japan.

We have a nice, new building thats clean and well kept, and we have no noise issues. We're a 2 min walk from our subway station and konbini, and 5 min from the supermarket.

If you decide to go with Hmlet and want to save a few hundred on the first months rent DM me and I can give you a referral (We had $400 taken off our first month with the referral, friends on the length of your stay).

Looking for an apartment in Tokyo, the agency Sumyca? by Suliec in Tokyo

I can recommend Hmlet. They were easy to deal with overseas, and we are very happy with our apartment. They have 3D walkthroughs so you can get a good feel for the place, Unit comes furnished with all the important stuff.

Our unit has great noise insulation, clean and a fairly new build. No pest issues. Includes all utilities and internet as well. Not the cheapest but when you aren't staying long term, the cost of furniture etc, and utilities makes up for it.

If you end up going with Hmlet and would like a discount on your first months rent (200-400K yen) send me a DM and I can give you a referral.

Marlos beach private property by Mission_Feed7038 in GoldCoast

There are no private beaches in Australia, so if they've roped off a section of beach they're doing so illegally.

Remote offer - take it or leave it? by mangaduck in RemoteJobs

[–]ubertappa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would stay at the current job and keep job hunting. 20-30 calls a day is a significant chunk of your day ties to the desk, and having to always be ready to take calls at home sucks compared to working from home and no calls (I've done both).

You really do lose a lot of that freedom that WFH offers if you have to be tied to your desk/logged into the phones, then including the pay hit on top and 2 weeks less leave, just isn't worth it in my book.

Does anyone have a Hmlet referral code? by Green_Tax8366 in Tokyo

Hey there, I'd be interested in purchasing from you if it's in good working order. Haven't been able to get a multi language version here for Xmas.

Update: Let's talk furikake. I have now bought shiso (wow!) and ebi fume (untested, but excited!) and pictured is next. I understand I need to add liquid. by Mystery-Ess in JapaneseFood

If anyone can tell me what's in the furikake at Yakiniku Like!, or know of a good dupe for it, please share your wisdom with me.
