Fukubukuro plans?

I would love to hear about the places you plan to get fukubukuro from this year! I usually go for places like Kaldi Coffee Farm and Lupicia for tea and coffee to consume...but I'm always down to hear some suggestions!

    I will always try to get one of the donguri (Ghibli) store. i love there products and it is always a good deal. Is the Kaldo one good? Maybe I should get one too then...

    I wasn't planning on getting any... then I saw this: https://www.ikea.com/jp/en/campaigns/new-year-special.html?itm_campaign=fy20_new-year&itm_element=TopRibbon&itm_content=enPC IKEA is starting mystery online lucky bags this year, but in store they have 'hot dog bags' and 'sustainability bags.' I'm interested in the latter. Really not sure if I can brave the crowds on January 2nd, but they're only available in limited supply that day.

    Yea I only aim for the ones that I know what is inside, and restaurants seem to have the best ones for the buck. I might go for Starbucks, but since many people seem to recommend Kaldi, I should look into that too :)

    I’ve seen ones in Nojima for electronics. I was tempted to buy one

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?
