1. Are energy drink prices regulated like tobacco is? I don’t often get them but a monster is the same price and different supermarkets and also the conbini

2. A friend back home asked me if i could send a postcard from japan for her kid’s school project. I never really paid attention/seached for them, but i think i’ve never seen typical scenic view postcards. Do places like 100y-shop, or maybe the post office sell some?

3. Getting a new phone, probably next week, and I now have a physical SIM, while the new one is eSIM only. I’ve browsed IIJ’s pages, but haven’t found how to switch from one to the other, still keep service (and keep my present number).

   But one path would seem to be to first convert to eSIM with my present phone (11pro, which supports it), and then transfer that when I get the new phone (rather than trying to go SIM–>eSIM). This would be like in the past when changing phones, just moving the SIM card to the new phone, but now deactivating it in the one and activating in the new one.

   Is that the best changeover tactic, or is there something else I should be looking at?

4. ~~From the feel of it, my permanent retainer’s wire has finally decided to break a little bit, poking my tongue constantly. If I just want it out, do I have to go to a proper orthodontist, or will a dentist probably be able to help?~~

   ~~Also, are dentists/orthodontists here like clinics where you can just show up, or should I try to call?~~

   Just kidding! Made an appointment on Byoinnavi with a local combination dentist/orthodontist.

5. I overslept my haircut appointment yesterday. It’s at kind of a chain (not a mom-and-pop shop) and I’ve been going about every month for the last year. There’s finally a stylist that I like, and I’d really like to not have to find a new place.

   Because there’s no tipping, the stylist didn’t lose money from my missed appointment right? Can I just wait a bit and call to make another appointment and when I meet them apologize…?

   Or is it better in this situation to just commit seppuku?

6. My glasses need cleaning in a spot where you‘d need to remove the lenses to clean.

   Can I go to any Optician I see on the maps for this, or is there something else to keep in mind?

7. I am currently moving apartments, I have old clothes , can I just throw them along side burnable garbage?

8. Who do y’all call when you finally just realize that your wall-mounted A/C is moldy?

   Alternatively, how hard is it to clean that shit yourself?

9. If I use my European sim with a new Japanese iPhone, will it help to remove the camera sound? Or if I leave the country after my study ends, can it automatically disappear in a different country (not Korea, haha🥲)? I’m confused, I’ve found different answers on the internet and in Apple Store itself, but it doesn’t seem to help😢
