hii i want to go live in japan when i get older i wanted to live in nagano but i heard that it snows alot there and i dont like snow so i want to go live in kyoto now.i am just 12 so i am trying to save money to go move in japan lol
@MegaJapanrocks I am just like you! I am 12 and i want to go to Japan too, and because of that i might not go to collage and just move there. I am positive about it plus Kyoto rocks!!!
@kakasuna J-life international is an online store that sells them, and you will be bale to grasp the nuances more than I could explain. Suffice to say, they are very comfy and are as good or better than Western style mattresses
@kakasuna A futon is the Japanese bed. They are supposed to be set directly on the ground (the tatami mats) along with the comforter and pillow they have as well. Since Japanese are so clean, the issue of sleeping on the ground is nil. The idea is to be able to save space and convert the rooms into a different size for other functions during the day. Price wise, you can get them for about the same as a Western style mattress over here, without the bed stead and headboard. I wish I could have :\
@frostkaiser Whoa, not to be too inquisitive, but what do you do for a living, if I may ask? It must cost a fortune to live in Japan, in a home especially!!!
@frostkaiser Cool! Looks like you must make a fortune! May I ask how much ... message me if you care to reply. Sorry to seem to nosey. I am just so impressed at how folks live can live so well, over there.
@GimmeKitty It was teachers housing which means it is owned by the town and therefore it is really cheap. I am still in Japan and I moved to an even more awesome house up in the mountains. No damage where I am in Nagano, all the damage was way up North.
Wicked house. I own an Apartment in Yokohama area. Hard for me to get housing, alot of them don't welcome me. Gaijin apparently. D: But Ya, i'm in for teaching aswell. I hope you come to the Yokohama area and play a concert us. =]
Wow!! That is amazing! It's nice to know that if I don't love the apartment I adopt from my predecessor, it is possible to move. I wonder how much that would cost without JET.
Yeah, its always possible to move, although its not a sure thing that every situation will be as easy as is was for me. Hopefully youll have a nice BOE :). But moving is always a possibility, especially since I'm pretty sure that every town/city with a school in it is required by law to provide cheap teachers housing (in Japan the teachers are forced to relocate to another town/city every three years or so).
Your house is really nice! I've heard that the BOEs get kind of pissed if you move out of the accomodation they arrange for you. Did you have much trouble moving to your new place?
The BOE are actually the ones that arranged my move. Specifically my outgoing principal heard I was wanting to move and found another accommodation for me. Know that most cities/towns in Japan will many many teachers housing units and you can always move if a new one opens up.
Did you know the little sink in the bathroom actually does work. Stick your hand under the tap and you'll feel a metal tap-like ficture. Turn that and water will magically come out.
wtf... a gismo for spreying your ass with water... WTF!!!?!
