    I use 7/11 bank-i. It's the most convenient way for me as it's 7/11 ( as everyone knows it's a convenient store) anytime, anywhere;)

    I agree with Wagamama, 7&i Bank is a great way to transfer money (or get money) from your home country, and they have information, brochures and ATM services in many different languages. The fees are acceptable. If you don't like to use that service, Shinsei Bank has a pretty low fee, too. It's a really common bank for foreigners in Japan.

    You can try 7/11 Remittance, Western Union or you can inquire with your bank.

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!

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?
