I live in Niigata and the City office here publishes English News Letter every month with useful information for international community. This includes information on language class, health care, events and also free legal consultations every month. The news letter is also online and you can pick a free copy from most of the government offices too.

I'd check with your ward office/city website. I live in Yokohama, and I found that the city offers free legal consultations every so often. I was able to find it in their English resources--pamphlets, newsletters, website, etc.

There is a website called 法テラス that provides free e-mail and phone consultation. It’s Japanese only though.

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?
