    It seems a lot of people have had success with Citibank, and a friend of mine was recently issued with one from JCB.

    MUFG credit card is the good deal for foreigners. Also you can try EPOS credit card.

    I've heard Rakuten offers foreigners credit cards. They're not exactly a bank, but give them a try if you have no success elsewhere.

    Credit Cards seem to be one of the biggest hurdles for foreigners in Japan. Since Citibank was taken over by SMBC Trust Bank and became Prestia, the Citicard no longer seems to be an option. Both Prestia and Shinsei have affiliate companies for credit card services, but neither offer English support for the credit cards. At the moment though, Prestia seems like the best bet as at least they provide English support for completing the application form.

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?

Golden Week 2025 plans?

This year's Golden Week gives us Tuesday, April 29th, and then potentially a four-day weekend from May 3rd to 6th. How are you intending to spend the break? Will you travel, "staycation", or dare I ask, work through it?
