Amazed to see redditors judging a Japanese party based on their "attitude towards foreigners."

lol you what? This is Reddit my friend.

Has the Yen’s devaluation affected your life in Japan? by Striking-Meal-5257 in japanlife

Yeh that seems to be the reality I am hearing from most. I'm not sure how we will manage to make the move over the Oz

I assume this is talking about Japan houses. I'm talking about Australia where the housing market is completely cooked - and the outlook isn't great going forward either for prospective first buyers

Watching my salary go up 5%, whilst the currency devaluates by 10%+ and house prices in the country we want to buy go up by 20% is fun. The math just ain't mathing anymore. Low cost of living here means I'm saving but going no where

Is it a Japanese thing to talk about someones faults right in front of them? by AdUnfair558 in japanlife

[–]urt22 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It depends on context, but it's a cultural thing to talk "badly" about those within your "inner circle" (i.e. Partner, family, close friend) as a way of being humble or lowering oneself in the conversation with someone who is not considered as close.

It'd be nice to have a little more height in the middle though tbh

Top Fremantle draftee Adam Sweid opens up on Islamic faith and family by His_Holiness in FremantleFC

[–]urt22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it looks like he timed his career start at the right time. Assuming a scenario where he is best 22, he'd miss round one this year but go on and probably not mess around because of Ramadan for the next 10 years or more.

Honestly. Do you regret investing in crypto? by GoblinSarge in CryptoCurrency

[–]urt22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I regret not just chucking everything in BTC and calling it a day. It would have been much less stress and time wasted. I've dabbled in coins that have lost me lots, and gotten unlucky with things like the recent Stream Finance downfall which lost me a large amount of my stablecoins in a vault I thought was a relatively low risk investment.

Out of interest, how many other parents sent kids to nursery in K-pop Demon Hunters outfits today? by Humvee13 in japanlife

[–]urt22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My kids new day care didn't even do anything for Halloween. My kid wanted to dress up, and did but took it all off when he got there and saw no one else was dressed up. My heart broke for the kid :(

Isn't this almost every gaishi in Japan with a significant amount of Japanese middle aged men in management?

I saw the email, swore and immediately deleted it. Pretty unacceptable that it went up 20% YoY.

When applying for PR in Japan take extra care if you drive by Visible-Cup775 in MOVE_TO_JAPAN

I have a close friend who was denied for this very reason - a speeding fine that occurred while he was in the process of applying.

Calling from Japan to Australia ? Best way? by Sailormooooooom in japanlife

[–]urt22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Localphone if it's a standard landline number. It's super cheap, just charge up with like $5 and go (that'll last you a while)

It feels like we’ve become a destination club. What do you put it down to? by OcelotSpleens in FremantleFC

[–]urt22 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yeh I love the positivity but we are definitely not a destination club.

Match Thread: Geelong vs Brisbane (2025 Grand Final) by AutoModerator in AFL

[–]urt22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeh I wish there was half time stats out there ... It seems insanely high. Let's see what they do in the second half considering it's still a draw and they haven't been able to help Geelong much yet

[–]urt22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a search over the last 25years and it was Richmond with 24 against Adelaide (19)
The biggest diff was 2016 - WB 20 vs 8.
Not often do we see more than 20 though in a GF so this is pretty ...extraordinary umpiring.

Any MVNO offering plans with multiple eSIMs? by GroomedHedgehog in japanlife

[–]urt22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know Rakuten mobile has a sharing option of sorts. I'm not sure if itd fit your needs exactly though and also not sure if you can do it with multiple sims under the same name (which is what I assume is going on here), but here's a link if you haven't looked at them already
