My apartment in Japan walk through PT 1

by Dave on November 8, 2009

simply don’t want to deal with foreigners especially foreigners who don’t speak Japanese. (After all, if they don.t speak English, how can they tell you that you threw your garbage out on the wrong day?) This means you will be turned away many times before you find a landlord who will rent to you. Essentially its a numbers game. You have to keep plugging until you find an apartment. 5. Register your new address with local authorities at the local city hall or ward office. They will write …

Anonymous 11.08.09 at 11:12 am: Thanks for a most excellent comment. Glad you had a good experience over all:)
Anonymous 11.08.09 at 11:12 am: Thanks for your fantastic info. But luckily I had already been in Japan for 2 years before I rented my own apartment (instead of taking my company’s apartment). So I already knew a lot of information about renting my own apartment. I did find it hard though, trying to find a landlord that would allow me to rent their apartment. If I didn’t have a Japanese guarantor, it would have been impossible. Plus I needed something pet friendly. But I am so happy with my apartment and I live in a quiet area

Anonymous 11.08.09 at 11:12 am: Yea a lot of people like that fridge. I do not think they would have them in the states but similar ones that cost a fortune. Its funny the fridge is half plastic and super efficient. To bad they run on 100 volts 50cycles else you could export them.

Cheers
Anonymous 11.08.09 at 11:12 am: That fridge is too cool. I wonder if they have them in the US. Will check it out.
Anonymous 11.08.09 at 11:12 am: How much does your apartment rent cost in Tokyo?
Anonymous 11.08.09 at 11:12 am: I live in Saitama. I can’t really reveal any more than that sorry. I am about 45 minutes from deep Tokyo via train.

Anonymous 11.08.09 at 11:12 am: Yea its awesome but it runs on 100volts 50hz:( wont work in the states. They really should export them someday with compatible power requirements. Its a SHARP.
Anonymous 11.08.09 at 11:12 am: that fridge is…BADASS! lol i want one
Anonymous 11.08.09 at 11:12 am: Thanks it took a little getting used to as a spoiled westerner I had 8 rooms in my APT back home but now its all I need

Anonymous 11.08.09 at 11:12 am: Thanks… yea the fridge rocks been using it allot and no dissapointments there… SHARP has a nice line of them
Anonymous 11.08.09 at 11:12 am: okay your apartment tour vid is by far my fave one yet! i cant wait until me and my fiancee move to japan, idk when or how lol, but we sure wanna go! but ur vid was very informative and u actually took your time to go thru stuff, not rush thru it like others. i like videos of apartments n ppl take their time, it makes u feel like ur actually in the apartment….LOVE THE FRIDGE!!!

Anonymous 11.08.09 at 11:12 am: who do you live with there?
Anonymous 11.08.09 at 11:12 am: also, the last fridge we had lasted for 16 years. it was an awesome fridge. ;__;
Anonymous 11.08.09 at 11:12 am: those aren’t my blogs. those belong to my fave youtuber by the name of theamazingatheist. although he’s angry, he has quite a bit of good points to make about religion, society, and politics. also, they don’t have fridges here in the usa like the one at your place because here, they want to make sure we keep buying. afterall, how do you make money on products that last long? me and my mom have to buy a new fridge soon, and the last dryer we had lasted for 27 years. that’s older than me. *o*
Anonymous 11.08.09 at 11:12 am: Yea … they have had these here for years… I am suprised and not suprised that they do not have these in the states. Upfront they are pricey but they save a bundle in the long run …electrical costs and food lasting longer that any fridge I ever owned in the states. Hey love your totally mental blogggggs… I laughed, got angry, and cheered…. heh refreshing…
Anonymous 11.08.09 at 11:12 am: Dayuuum. I gotta get a fridge like that! *o*
Anonymous 11.08.09 at 11:12 am: Yea thanks but I found that Final cut is only available on MAC… I grabbed cyberlink Power director 6 and its better than WMM by far…not as spify as FC but all I need…..

Talk to you later bro……..
Anonymous 11.08.09 at 11:12 am: final cut pro (sometimes Avid for shits and giggles), it rocks… but Ive grown up on video editing. Ive been video editing since I was 10. So my depth of knowledge on editing is similar to yours on electricity. Its not just a hobby for me. I would reccommend FCP but it takes a brief mental retraining period to get how to use it. And that turns some people off of it… my father for example. I cant get him to switch over. But Id say the software you use should be purpose driven.
Anonymous 11.08.09 at 11:12 am: Hey quick question….. nothing to do with this video: What do you use for a video editor??? I really hate WMM its crashy and laggy and has issues….. I noticed you had good text and stuuf on your vids.
Anonymous 11.08.09 at 11:12 am: Go for boring… if thats boring to you, other people will find it fascinating. As bizarre as that is its other peoples typical that some find unusual.
