    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.

Summer reading

I know there have been questions in the past about what we're watching, but I'm wondering what you're reading at the moment! I'm looking to get a few new books for summer and I'd love to hear if you have any recent recommendations. If you have any good spots here to get EN language books in person, too, I'd appreciate if you would share those as well!

Anyone else getting a database error after you log in? So far, it looks like I can still write posts, but I had trouble logging in and after log in my home page looks different to normal with a "database error" message.

Condiments in your fridge?

Just for fun! I was thinking the other day how different the contents of my fridge are to the fridge I grew up with! Just one example, I always have soy sauce in my fridge and usually at least one other unopened bottle in the cupboard. There was never soy sauce in my fridge growing up. And the friends I grew up with don't have soy sauce in their fridges even now. But my Uni friends all have soy sauce in their fridges, because they all lived in Japan for at least a year. I was just wondering what things do you have in your fridge here that you probably wouldn't have in your fridge in your home country had you never lived here.

Moving house process

I've been in my apartment for nearly 7 years. I've got my eye on an apartment one station closer to work. But I forgot what it was like to move in here! It was all a bit traumatic... Have you got some packing tips, suggestions for how to move your household goods, and what to save for last?
