If I slowly deposit 60万円 of cash into my JP account and then transfer amounts of lets say 25万円 and 30万円 to my 不動産 and car dealer for payments, will there be any problem now or in the future during my visa renewal?
Where can I buy a single 40cm x 40cm concrete slab? I have a 3D printer and want to isolate the noise on it
Edit: Nevermind, just found the Japanese term for it and it’s on Rakuten! コンクリート平板
2.5months after release still couldn’t buy a Switch2. Damn
What’s some low fat low carb but high protein lunches at a conbini?
Am I cooked? or are (some) Japanese guys cooked? I’m a guy as well.
Recently been talking to some fellow 20s/30s mates. When talking about relationships the whole is fuuzoku cheating meme topic came up. I thought it was just exaggerated from the videos and clickbait but the more and more guys I talked to I’ve slowly come to realize that it’s not just a meme.
A good chunk thought it wasn’t cheating and no issue with it. A group thought fuuzoku wasn’t bad and wouldn’t go if they had a girlfriend, but routinely go now as singles. Just a few said they don’t think it’s good and have been only once and aren’t interested in going again, or have never been.
When I was asked, I said I’ve never been, won’t go, and I think in general is not great for someone to go to. People were surprised and they think kaigai is more promiscuous and like asked me don’t a lot of foreigners go to like fuuzoku or prostitution in their own countries? And when I said no, and that very few who do, often do it in secret because it’s embarrassing and definitely not something top openly talk about. And I think that blew a lot of people’s minds.
I talked with the guys I’m closest to later, and I was like idk I know it’s not up to me to judge what people do in their free time, but it does make me lose respect for them in a way. They said they understand how I feel but is it worth throwing away some friends just because they like to go to fuuzoku in their free/private time? And tbh, I felt like yeah, I don’t want to associate with them or introduce them to the people I’m close to lol
I think it’s “fine” to have gone once just to try, especially when younger and with the mates. But those who routinely go, especially those with a girlfriend or spouse, makes me see them in a bad light. If we’re speaking of like marriages and people are like 40/50+ with dead marriages, I can see it. But we’re all in that 25-35 range.
Am I overreacting? Am I just meeting the wrong crowd, the loud minority? Or does it feel like most Japanese guys are cooked? Is it just something I’ll culturally have to accept that a good chunk of Japanese guys dabble in fuuzoku?
Am I crazy? A few years ago, i remember the show Firefly being on Disney+ here in Japan, it was taken down maybe 2-3 years ago, and I’ve been trying to find it with the japanese subtitles. but it’s neigh impossible.
I try searching for it using the japanese title ファイヤーフライ 宇宙大戦争 and it HAS it’s own wikipedia entry in japanese. Nothing.
I decided maybe i should try and find it on DVD or even VHS. Mericari, Yahoo, Rakuten, BookOff. nothing.
it’s like it never came out here in Japan, but the movie serenity is on Amazon Prime…
was it being on Disney+ just a mistake on my memory?
