    I recall my biology lessons: Endothelial cells form a single layer within all blood vessels, and they regulate the exchanges between one's blood and the surrounding tissues. They're a kinda fancy filter that handles gas exchange and other tissue products transferring into and out of your blood. Very special cells that play an important role within our bodies. I may be in the minority (I usually am), but I follow you for you. Not Japan or anything else. It's just nice seeing how people's lives unfold over time. Especially ones even wild bunnies trust.

    I have lived in Japan these last 21 years. That residence tax and medical insurance is based on your income. If your income goes up, those payments go up too. Yes, if you are not a regular employee but a freelancer, these amounts will not be automatically deducted from your salary and you will have to save money out of your freelance earnings to pay them. Don't forget the national pension payment too. Last I checked it was around 17000 yen a month. If you don't stay long in Japan, you can get some of that back in a lump sum when you leave. I remember I worked freelance for about 9 months before I got a regular job. Years later, they came at me with a demand to pay pension contributions for those nine months. Question: do you get hassled for those tatoos when you go to a sentou or onsen?

    Welcome to Nagoro Scarecrow Village, which has more scarecrows than people. This is a heartwarming but sad example of Japan’s disappearing towns. You may already know about Japan’s aging population and declining birth rate. That plus young people moving to bigger cities for work and social opportunities contributes to the declining population in small towns. It’s predicted that as many as 744 towns and villages across Japan could disappear by 2050.
