MORE STUFF ITT PLEASE

My Tapatalk doesn't work and I have to CAPTCHA every time I refresh or post from browser. It's ruining my life.

Would you say that's the most difficult cultural acclimation thus far?

hai

Just use chrome like a baller

On chrome on my phone and lapster i have to CAPTCHA basically every post or refresh which is horrible enough without the sickening slowness of the hotel internet.

Tapatalk doesnt work at all.

Once we finally choose a house, I'll have gigabit fiber with a USA VPN included, so that will be nice.

We've seen enough houses for a  whole season of house hunters.

Hmm not yet. Maybe a japanese hyvee. Also hundreds of  Yi's Oriental Markets

[puniraptor]

Not yet! Trapped in a western style hotel with insufficient drawer sign.

What?! You mean you were allowed to look at more than 3 houses (one in your price range, one a bit above your range but meeting your needs, and one low priced but crappy)????

I'm sure they'll edit it down to three. Spoiler alert: we narrowed it down to the classic amazing house meh location and meh house amazing location.

Don't they have computers in Japan?

Still getting a handle on the office climate and acceptable blogging levels. The nihonjin work nonstop on two monitors with not even a sniff of web browsing. My old job I had a private office but here I'm in a public cubicle.

public office = Deal breaker

Yes! This is exactly what I would expect!

You'll immediately be fired for not working furiously for the entirety of the day.

nope, they have really low expectations for gaijin so blog away.

Also, please post the listing for the coolest/most ridiculous house you looked at

[Mrs. Gooch]

Do the houses have really low ceilings or really short doorways?

[CNS]

How many times have you had minor injuries healed by someone rubbing their hands together real fast then placing them on the injury?

Some doorways I've had to duck under, ceilings are normal to high.

No injuries yet. Will report.

Are you super awesome with chopsticks yet?  Also, I have heard that real wasabi is something you usually don't get outside of japan.  Have you tried it, and is it noticeably different?
