  • Konnichiwa dear friends. Another video here.
    Please like, comment, and share🙏❤️
    Come with me as I process my income and residence tax refund. Together with my friends, we went to tax office for application. Did we make it? In this video, I will be explaining about taxes we pay in Japan and how to refund it. But of course there are lots of requirements.
    I also claimed my My Number Card in City hall.
    Salary day, we treated ourselves a good meal. Reward for our hardwork. Had groceries and do the cooking.
    I also changed the light in my cooking area because it is turning on and off, soars my eyes.
    It was a tiring but productive day.
    Hope you watch my video till the end.
    Please subscribe if you are new here🙏
    To all my friends here, Thank you always for supporting my small channel.
    I love you all❤️

    Lots of paperwork to get the refund/deduction but it's easily processed. That was a lot of shopping for your money Che.
    That was an interesting t-shirt you were wearing as you ate your pork and mung bean stew. 😀

    Nice video on living in Japan. Like the shopping, dining, and daily life.
    Tip: when you are cooking it’s good to place the lid correctly on the pot by fitting the open part to the pot handle to seal the lid. See the video around the time 24:27 to 25:05. Noticed in your other videos when cooking with same pot and lid. Saves heat and cooks faster.

    Hello CheB another great video in my country i live in the US every year we pay taxes you have to file before April we have state and federal taxes we have to pay every year after you file you get a refund or you have to pay more taxes if they didnt take out enough that happens to a lot of people i loved your cooking of the mung bean it reminds me of gandules with is pigeon peas we make with rice and only eaten on holidays with Lechon well have a blessed week and God bless you your friend Danny

    • @CheB.0609

      Hi Sir Danny, lunchbreak here.
      Here the release of tax payment is July. People are diligent in paying it, and only foreigners are processing the refund. Don't know the case, if you are Japanese☺️
      Learned it from Ma'am Neme, it's gandules, but I think you cook it differently and it's interesting😁
      God bless Sir🙏

    How long do you soak things in Coke?
    To clean old rusty tools with Coke, submerge the tools in a tub or bowl of Coca-Cola overnight (not sure if Diet Coke or Pepsi will work - best to stick with original Coke). If you can still see rust, leave them for a few more days.🤣
