Thank you, I didn't know that the convenience stores don't sell medicine. One thing I bring with me when I travel is a smoke detector /carbon monoxide detector. I take the batteries out while traveling. I have stayed at many AirBNB's where the smoke detector was obviously not working or the batteries were removed. I sleep better at night knowing that it is there, just in case.
For the clothing, you appear to be thin. I don’t hear people saying you can’t buy clothing, but that it’s very hard to find underwear and stylish clothing IF you’re not thin. Especially since many Japanese stores sell women’s clothing in “one size fits all”. I’m moving to Japan this year and I’m overweight, so I’ve been buying extra clothing and undergarments to bring with me since I know I probably won’t fit into clothing in the stores.
Ahh yeah, living here longer I found there’s even more limitations, like comfortable bras that fit and bathing suits just don’t exists… luckily online stores have been helpful though and some stores ship for free when you buy in bulk so I do a yearly online haul 😅
I have my second interview with ALTIA Central coming up soon! Thank you for the helpful insight and sharing your experiences, it has kept me hopeful along the way. Do you have any tips for the second interview btw?
Ah good luck!! Hmm as for tips for the interview, just be yourself! They’re really just checking to see that you’re a good person to work with, oh and practice your Japanese beforehand for the Japanese language check test!!
@@takeru1686 I did, I ended up with a severe health issue that kept me stateside a few weeks before I left. It was quite unfortunate, but I now just plan on finishing up my N2 and keeping my eyes peeled for a professional setting someday!
Yesss! I had the same problem... I packed clothes for the season in Japan that I was arriving in and shipped the rest. It was not cheap, but more affordable than buying a whole new wardrobe 😅 also good luck on the move!! Message me on Insta if you ever need any japan help~ ^^
great video, when entering Japan how long did it take you to acquire a job in Japan, just asking because i will be moving to Japan in the near future, and would like to get a part time job there, but i also know that i can not get a job unless i get married, which i have no problem with, because am looking forward to marrying, thanks for reading my commit

That's totally a good idea, thanks for sharing! 😁

I applied for and got my job before I came to Japan. I found my job within a few weeks of searching. Best of luck!

So happy to hear you found it helpful! Thanks so muchh!✨
Do you need an adapter for Japanese outlets?
Surprisingly no! Some things don't work well, like American blow dryers. I think it depends where in the country you're living though.
