    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.

How about a challenge?

Reading the daily blogs, product, and place reviews on City Cost makes my day. I love seeing what you find novel and enriching. But what do you think of a challenge week - one week of blogs on a particular interest or location that reveals our insights into our lives as foreign residents and "experts" on the things we nerd on? Some things I do: The periodic TtoE food blogs, regional posts in Chiba Prefecture Charms blogs, and fieldtrips in the Kanto region where I live. Got 5-7 day challenge ideas?

What's on your "generic" local manhole?

My local area has some specialty manholes (including some from the Gundam manhole project not too far away!) but the most common "generic" one features mountains and watermelon. Fairly representative of the region, I think! What's on yours?

Do you have a favorite mascot?

The other day, on "Strawberry Day" I wrote about "Yoshimin", the strawberry mascot of Yoshimi. I thought it might be fun to introduce a few others, so I've just written about "Tokimo" the mascot of Kawagoe. And I plan to introduce a couple of my favorites. It begs the question, do you have a favorite mascot? And how about writing a post on City-cost about your favorite or a local mascot? Pictured "Umerin" who I plan to write about next!

Who is your hero!?

Today, January 16th, is Hero Day. Who is your favorite hero, fictional or otherwise? The first one who comes to my mind for me is a real life person; Mary Robinson, a former president of Ireland (moreover, the first female president), and a former United Nations High Commissioner of Human Rights, among other impressive roles. I had the great pleasure of meeting her in December, a dream come true. I was trying to think about who my favorite fictional hero is. I have not come to conclusion yet! There is such a choice. Do you have one?
