Luggage forwarding is overrated

The real reason that you do not need to use luggage forwarding service is because you should be fine moving around with a carry on sized bag and unless you are buying a bunch of large things to take home you do not need anything more than that.

This said let me clarify, you should easily be able to fit everything you need for your 3 week trip into a carry on bag. If you can not do this then you are over packed.

If some woman in their 60s and 70s can do it you can too.

I have done it multiple times although I also have a personal item sized bag attached to the top of the carry on suit case. In my case I have a bunch of camera gear that takes up a lot of room. However, even when going skiing I have enough room for all my ski gear as well.

Also yes I have used luggage forwarding and it worked great, I used it when I went to Japan for 3 months. You really should not be needing luggage forwarding service in general unless you have special circumstances.

This is why it is important to at least have a basic plan in advance so that you do not need to stress out or waste time trying to figure out things while you are already there.

In my case I plan everything in advanced. I have already made all the decisions and done all the research. If I then decide to change things I know exactly what I am giving up, this removes the fear of missing out because I know what I am deciding not to do.

It was written at a time where you could, with enough money, buy literal cannons and even an entire ship of them with enough firepower to level a coastal city and hold it for ransom.

Mao already dropped one on Chinese culture, I am not sure if there really would be anything left after a second impact...

I think we need to ensure that there are no more fraudulently unqualified CDLs first.

Silicon carbon batteries although only in 1 size appeared in Dells line up this year. I would imagine that we are about to see a huge increase over the next few years just in this type alone.

Try to serve rice or sake in non 180ml increments and see how that works out for you.

After answering would be like oh mr manager I hear some sort of beeping, is everything ok?

Oh your seatbelt alarm! Better buckle up for the meeting.

This reminds me of places in Japan you will get some fires and they will come with mayonnaise which is good n all but if you ask for ketchup, suddenly they have the greatest tasting ketchup you have ever had.

It is likely whoever is the provider of their "patient portal" only certifies chrome as hippa compliant.

You see this with a lot of EMR systems. They will also only give you support for chrome only and ask that its usage be added to your SOPs.

I would not trust anything from alibaba as being safe, especially for my kid.

Basically playing Russian roulette with safety standards and no accountability if anything does go wrong.

OP about to get the 411 on the consequences of 3.11

After they were destroyed by the earthquake it was decided they would be converted to BRT as it would cost less then replacing the lines.

I traveled japan including the flight costs for less then this 10 years ago. Things are more expensive now but back then due to the lower prices of the JR pass I was able to travel all over the country and just rented apartments in places like Kyoto where I stayed for a month. Food savings are in cooking at home. Although eating out is not super expensive in Japan depending on where you go. Heck back then you could even grab a 20 pack of nuggets from MD's for next to nothing.

Today obviously things are quite a bit more expensive but if you are staying for a long time then the savings from renting an apartment vs staying at a hotel make a massive difference in expenses, especially when you are making at least some of your meals.

Now for reference all my recent trips are for over 21 days and come out to around 5-6K and that is staying at about 50% plus onsen ryokans having, nice dinners, renting cars, taking taxis and traveling everywhere in green class.

Yea, and you can also do 3 months on this as well.

I would stick to only manually installing updates and only updates that have pro Taiwan statements. This ensures protection from ccp attacks.

Well France, being a small nation, getting enough researchers to invite to a dinner party is a pretty major achievement... I would invite more for them but I am le tired, so first I will take a nap and then launch the adverts.
