    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.

Recommendations for next Christmas?

While its somewhat fresh in your mind, what gifts came into your house this Christmas and / or New Year, that you thought were really nice things to receive and / or really good buys, that you think might make a good present for someone else in the future? As you might see in the product reviews, I am going through some of the things I bought for the kids this year and thinking of what I was really happy with. And already thinking of next year!

Under the radar winter festivals

There are some winter festivals that get a lot of hype, like the Sapporo Snow Festival, for instance. However, as someone who doesn't like crowds, I enjoy lower-key festivals a whole lot more. Do you have any favorite winter festivals that aren't really tourist-trappy? What makes them fun or unique?

Growing Mushrooms

Here's for a weird hobby. I just saw a video by an American Youtuber that I plan to watch about growing shiitake mushrooms. From what I've seen, it probably needs a bit of space. There was a local market in Fukuoka Prefecture that had a "mushroom room" where they grew and sold mushrooms like maitake and eringi. I also saw a video of a couple in Paris that built a mushroom growing shower room! The local hardware store sells "seeded" logs and shiitake mushroom growing kits. I have seen the logs around people's homes on occasion. It seems like a very odd, but sustainable hobby. Has anyone tried it, or is anyone interested to try this? I wonder how involved or beginner friendly it is.

How do you feel about nuclear power?

This week, the mayor of Niigata officially approved the restarting of a nuclear power plant in Kashiwazaki. My home country doesn't use nuclear power, so it makes me a bit uneasy. How do you feel about it? Would you be comfortable with a nuclear power plant operating in your prefecture?
