    ??? I can only see one house. What's the choice? Are you wanting to build a house in Japan?

    There's a lot more to a house that the outside. More important would be layout, use of space, functionality etc.

    Personally I like the second one more (the one you posted in the comments) because I feel like it looks more modern and to my tastes right now. That's if we are talking purely on appearances!

    I like the second design better also. It looks easier to maintain.

    I don't like the color of the first, but the big windows and design are up my ally. It's unique for Japan, which also makes me like the first one better. The second looks nice too though. Classy. A bit m more refined.

    I like the second one. It looks very relaxing. I like the structure also very modern.

    I will vote for the first one, because it will never out of style. After 20 years, the second house will look "old" not classy. Make sure to put a central air conditioner with good installation and exhaust ventilation system. I never see those features in Japanese house.

    I like the first one better. I love the windows, especially the triangle shaped one on the first floor. Our house has lots of windows too, I love natural light and having a great view.

    I find the 2nd one more stylish, but the first one gives more of a "home" feeling :)

    Go for the one that best suits your lifestyle for the next decade or longer; is built with integrity; and is energy efficient with sustainable design. Aesthetics are a personal choice, but choosing one that fits into the neighborhood may be a consideration.

What sakura apps / websites are you using in 2024?

What websites or Apps are you using to keep track of the bloom stages of cherry blossoms in 2024? I usually use a mix of Tenki.jp, Yahoo and Jorudan and another one that I have forgotten! (I delete them at the end of each season to free up space on my phone). I occasionally use the app from JMA, but I don't like its set up. Are there any other Apps or websites you recommend? TIA

What's in your toshikoshi soba?

What do you put in your toshikoshi soba? One year I sauteed some chicken and naganegi to start a broth augmented with tsuyu, cooked the soba separately, and served the broth with kamaboko slices.

Transferring Pension

I'm currently sorting through EVERYTHING I bought back from Japan with me, so you'll get all your new blogs soon. I came across some documents that I actually completed when I came back from Japan, which was to do with pensions. This took me a while to figure out because it was complicated. Would you like to know how to transfer your pension to you from Japan? People say you can't. The things is... you can.

My FIRST Log! Would You Like to Hear it?

In my last post I asked what you would like to hear from me now I have left. I was digging through some stuff the other day and I found my very FIRST book log that I kept when I toured Japan originally. I was thinking about typing it up and reminding myself of what my younger self thought of Japan. Would you like to hear about what I got up to? I'm not sure if I can even remember! HA!!
