    When we moved it was with Sakai Hokoshi Center - two of us, years worth of stuff, a 1 tonne truck, driver and assistant 70,000 yen. It sounds like you haven't anywhere near the amount of stuff we did so maybe they offer services for something closer to your budget. Their homepage is all in Japanese though, and I can't find where they might display some prices. Still, good service. http://www.hikkoshi-sakai.co.jp/ According to Tokyo Helping Hands, their services start from ~ 8,000 yen (truck and driver) http://www.tokyohelpinghands.com/ For 15,000 yen you could rent a van for the day and have a friend drive it if you can't yourself, and you'd still have money to spare, I think. It sounds like a van would suffice for the amount of stuff you want to move, too.

    I used Tokyo Helping Hands, which offers both Japanese and English speakers. Our mover was really friendly and we had no problems! Our cost for moving was around 25000 yen, but we had more large items/furniture.

How often do you use chopsticks?

I have just written about "Chopstick Day". The second "Chopstick day" of the year! I am curious; how often do you use chopsticks? For every meal? Once a day? With certain meals only? Occasionally? Never!?

Fears in Japan that you didn't have in your home country?

I've written a number of blogs here on City-Cost about how bears are a real worry in my area these days, and it's something that I didn't have to concern myself with in my home country. I know people talk about snakes and spiders in Australia being deadly (and yes, there are some types that are), but they're not typically going to come and attack you unprovoked. Also, it's a lot easier to outrun a snake or a spider than a bear ;) I'm curious about the rest of you, if you have fears here that maybe weren't present in your country of origin. Let me know in the comments!

Christmas - shopping, meals, etc. - how are we faring?

I saw a press release this morning from FamilyMart, which promoted their festive season eats but also covered a survey about spending. The survey mentioned most people planning to celebrate Christmas at home aim to spend less than 5,000 yen on food. How does your budget look in comparison to that? Do you go all out for Christmas here if it was something you celebrated in your home country, or is it a quieter celebration owing to it not being an official holiday here? How about Christmas shopping? Have you got strict budgets in place, and have you completed your shopping or are you still looking for bits and pieces for people?
