  1. Anyone here work for a delivery company? There is a company near me hiring for delivery drivers claiming a 6am to 2pm work day for a bit more than what I’m being paid now. Been at my current job for 7 years but I’d love to get out of teaching to earn more and hopefully use Japanese.

    The delivery looks to be like food to local shops and restaurants so a little truck. They say they have foreigners working there so I’m wondering if it really is a 6 to 2 job

  2. Is it normal for your landlord to just enter your apartment with no notice?? I guess there’s been a water leak in the apartment below me and the landlord has just been entering my apartment to look at it when I’m gone, only reason I know is because they opened my door when I was at home and it scared the hell out of me

  3. Are valleys universally named here? Any resources or maps one can look at to try and find, let’s say, a small inhabited valley in the miura alps official name?

    I asked a couple locals and they seemed pretty interested in finding out as well, granted I didn’t ask any super old timers.

  4. Has anyone tried the Daiso liquid detergent for clothing? There’s 2 variations, one scentless made in Japan, another one scented that’s made in China. Do they do a decent job?

  5. Been itching to make legit hamburgers for quite some time, but my local supermarkets don’t have a ton of options available for 牛.

    Are there particular blends people use to buy and grind their own? Or just settle with the pork/beef minced?

  6. I’ve been sitting in the front seat of a (Keihan railway) train, and I’ve noticed that on some stations the conductor is given miscellaneous items, like an umbrella tied to a binder, a rucksack, etc. I don’t think it’s forgotten items since they seem to be the same items every day I’ve sat there. The binder kind or makes sense as a way of delivering non digitized bookkeeping, but I can’t figure out why it would be tied to an umbrella, and why a super worn out sack. Anyone has any ideas?

    Also, what is the advantage of having a Keihan commuter pass instead of an average Icoca?
