Son was Interviewed about his home life as part of his school entry check-ups.
“Daddy is strict, but we have fun and he teaches me stuff, I love him a lot.”
10/10 answer, thanks boy! And apparently the interviewer was impressed his explanation of how a gas heater works, glad it stuck.
Any other family folk out there having some victories lately? Rough patches?
What is everyone’s heating temperature setting for winter?
I usually set it to 18C (the lowest my AC can go) whenever it dips below 15C, and to 21C if I want to feel particularly cosy.
Otherwise, the shit insulation will cause my house to hover just +3C above the outside temperature.
What are y’alls tips to be able to get up in the morning. Been nearly late to work these last couple days due to not being able to wake up.

I went out drinking with some other foreigners last Saturday and had a lot of fun. There’s a problem though. They’re all Americans and British so an average amount of cuss words are peppered throughout the conversation. I’m actively trying not to but sometimes one slips out and I’d get embarrassed. In my mind swearing comes off as ‘Oh, look at me, I think I’m a native speaker too’ does it? So what are your opinions on non native speakers cussing is it cringe or don’t you notice? Am I overthinking? Underthinking??
Lost my pill box with my meds. It’s there a Japanese deity that specializes in lost things that I could pray to? Some specific ritual to locate it ?Shrines that sell お守り against losing things? Lol
the Japanese garage rock (?) at this ramen-ya doesn’t even show up on Shazam. That’s gotta be some legit stuff, I gotta ask the staff.
I never really paid attention to it but I thought hot yoga was a yoga chain. It turns out I am an idiot. That certainly explains why everyone is so sweaty in the ads.
my skin looks grey ever since the season has changed and i have this static hair which makes my mood worse … not sure how to improve it. have been using moisturizer n hair conditioner but still 😌
Any recommendations for a small/poncho-style heated blanket? Looking on Amazon right now, but if anyone has one they’re happy with I’d like to know.
I checked [this previous post](https://www.reddit.com/r/japanlife/comments/qph5lw/restaurant_recommendations_for_kyoto/) with amazing recommendations, but all are already fully booked this Saturday (yes, I’m…
