    I haven't personally done it myself, but there's this YouTube video that seems to walk through the process step by step! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szmHqnmRMoA

    Are you using a Japanese PayPal account? I tried linking a Japanese card to my Canadian PayPal and it wouldn't let me do that

    Same with PDecs, I think there is some kind of region lock.

    My advice would be to call PayPal customer care. They were really really REALLY helpful with linking my Japanese pp and my yuchou bank. They had an English staff. My acc was also locked mistakenly and they helped with that too. They even gave me some yennies for the trouble.

    As far as I know you need a Japanese Paypal account (settings to English language is helpful for the technical vocab) and setting up your bank account here should be easy. On the other hand, with my US account, I can't actually login unless I call customer service because of their security recognizing I'm not where my registered address is. I guess that's safe, just frustrating for those of us living abroad.

Job-related platforms that get you attention?

I'm on LinkedIn and get some positive attention from employers. I'm also on Hello Sensei, a platform for English tutoring. Occasionally, I get bites from employers. I get that we, City Cost correspondents, are in different fields. But which outlets do you use to broaden you employement prospects?

The newspaper and you!

Do you get a newspaper delivered to your house or buy one in a shop or subscribe to / read one daily online? Or just read it every now and then? Or can you not remember the last time you read the newspaper?

Which prefecture do you think is the most attractive?

I posted this morning about the recently released Prefectural Attractiveness Rankings. Obviously there's an element of subjectivity to this, because what one person deems attractive can be very different to someone else's opinion of it. Hokkaido was ranked the most attractive prefecture in Japan, but the full list can be found below (image source is the article here: https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/39c11474715641625a5720b86bc9b72dfe59e4cd). Of the prefectures you've visited, which would you say is the most attractive, and why would you rate it that way?
