    If you have a level of Japanese capability or know someone who does, I'd just get them to call every dentist office in the town and ask if they have any English speaking staff on hand. I live in a small town in Niigata, and there are actually several dentist practices in the town (amazingly!) and one of the dentists speaks English. The dental hygienists didn't, but we were able to get through the cleaning and check up with my broken Japanese and their broken English - but it was handy that the dentist spoke English when he was filling in a cavity I had. I know that's not all that much help but fingers crossed you'll be able to find something that way. Best of luck - I know from my own experience it's much more comforting to be able to communicate when the staff speak English :)

    http://japanhealthinfo.com/ is a great service to help you find English speakers. I have used it multiple times. It only cost money if you have them make the appointment.

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?

International cuisine that's hard to come by?

In my region - Chiba-Saitama - there are many Thai, Indian, and Vietnamese restaurants serving authentic flavours. Which international cuisines do you see underrepresented in your area? Have you found any rare gems in the Kanto region? I miss Greek/eastern Mediterranean food the most...
