Last week I got a draft 住民票 for me to peruse and check for errors, so at least my local government is on the ball regarding the new foreigner registration scheme. I thought it was interesting, however, that they sent me about six sheets of paper without a single word in any foreign language. I’m [...]

Good news: an Indonesian nurse who passed the Japanese nursing exam recently went up to Iwate from Kobe to help. NHK Kobe had a good feature on her last night. Curious news: A Linux user buys In Appropriate and finds it DRMed and not Linux friendly, and asks Mr Arudou for help. Mr Arudou apparently [...]
