    For adults planning to go there, yeah it is quite useful to learn though there are expats who cocoon themselves up.
    Neither of these problems are exclusive to Japan though.

    Of course, never said otherwise. Still always good to adopt the language of your new habitat.

    I got given a 1000 yen note the other day. Is that the emperor that's on the note?

    A look at Katsushika Ward in Tokyo, which is also where TakaraTOMY is located (not shown in this video though, unfortunately). But yeah, for a glimpse into TakaraTOMY's neighbourhood...

    Just moved to inner Tokyo about a month ago! Still mentally exhausted from the shift, it's probably one of the more stressful things I've done especially in a pandemic.

    Dealing with the town hall for all the documents basically levelled my nihongo 200%, at least spoken wise.

    If you're ever in Katsushika-ku... please take a selfie in front of the TakaraTOMY building while holding a Transformer toy! Let us live vicariously through you.

    What are you doing over there?

    I thought it was still closed to foreigners, if it's opening up I might look at trying to teach over there again.

    I loathe the city hall aspect of Japan.

    I've come to the conclusion that while I like Japan, I dislike Japanese society.
