    What Is the Easiest Method to Memorize Chinese Characters?

    Okay, I am now convinced that this thread is just a poorly-veiled attempt to advertise your unsupported, non-academic, so-called "learning method" of expensive PDF ebooks on this website under the guise of "debate" when there isn't any, or you are attempting to troll/scam posters. Reported your...

    What Is the Easiest Method to Memorize Chinese Characters?

    Oh my... Was sent this link to glance at and this "method" certainly raised an eyebrow with me. I work in education as a professor (I'll keep it at that details-wise), so I wanted to give some sort of response. However, I see Nice Gaijin has already raised many of the concerns that I popped...

    Just how much radiation is in those frequent X-rays in Japanese clinics?

    Hello all, it's been a while. At a clinic in Japan and had dental work done lately as well so I was reminded of this question. How much radiation am I being exposed to in Japan with all these X-rays? Now, it might seem like a simple answer, but I'm asking this with consideration that these...

    Fire code laws in Japan for buildings?

    Jez... :/ To even have the ability to "turn it off" worries me. I see things like that, then look at Fukushima, and other horrible disasters and deaths brought about by shear negligence, and I wonder if anyone is held responsible for such inaction.

    Fire code laws in Japan for buildings?

    Thanks everyone. Thank you Mike for that advice on handling the school, half the question was how to deal with them actually since being ignored on this was an issue. I do have fire alarms though, at least that is in this tinder box.

    Fire code laws in Japan for buildings?

    Hello all. I've got a rather specific problem. I live in an old apartment on the third floor partially associated with my university through a contract set up between them and a company that allows students to live in the apartment complex. It's old, but spacious and nice... However,the...

    Where to go regarding food safety complaints

    The doctor was rather heartless and treated me with the bedside manner of a brick, so I don't see him being too considerate for others and making the effort to report. Thank you very much for the information. I'll checks into this. I thought of going into the restaurant and speaking to the...

    Where to go regarding food safety complaints

    Hello Jrefers, I had a quick question in regards to where I should go in regards to reporting I've almost never run into problems with food poisoning in Japan, last Wednesday was the second time. Oh man is it devastating when food poisoning hits. I spent over 18 hours vomiting and with...

    Japan has new and not to mention, much stricter Copyright Laws

    This issue goes far beyond matters of copyright and music... :/ Definitions of piracy, what is being criminalized, penalty weight vs. crime, region restrictions, and excessively poor electronic distribution of content among tons of other issues are mixed in with this issue. Not to mention idiots...

    Bullies face suspension under new Osaka plan

    This guy's nationalistic slant really worries me... but I do like this proposal. However, implementation is everything. It could also lead to excessive rejection and isolation and make bullies worse being pulled away completely.

    Good Sites to learn Japanese with Romaji

    No avoiding the argument. It takes like a few days max to learn Hiragana and Katakana. Get to work or you will never even remotely understand or cover the language. It isn't even an argument to claim you don't need either.

    A MUST read. Life in Japan as a student, work, love, and life lessons

    Not sure why Mike has to be a stick in the mud again in this thread... but anyway, nice post, you did quite a bit. Always good to see people go on exchange programs and really make an effort to get a great deal from it that they can use to expand their lives and options. Keep pushing forward...

    why j girls always travel and work aboard

    Fewer Japanese are going abroad year by year, those that do are in a variety of circumstances, gender, financial support from family, companies, etc. Nice Gai and Mike are right, think before you say this stuff.

    On Monbukagakusho, Not Allowed to Work!

    You both are being far too harsh on him. As a foreign student in Japan, there are costs that go above the MEXT scholarship, and there are various travel and lab costs that each student has to pay as well. That isn't a "luxurious" amount by any means, and in some places it can be a struggle to...

    Need advice for handling night bus rides

    Checked the link but nothing really applicable to my situation of needing to sleep that was new. I think the trip will be seven hours.
