Want to move out Tokushima. How could I sell all the house stuffs. I am a foreigner. thank you!

Dear all, I am leaving Tokushima shortly. I could not speak Japanese very well. How could I sell all the house stuffs before moving out? Do you know any second-handed stores here who has someone who could talk in English? Or where could I hire a translator? Thank you, Best regards,

    If you go to somewhere like HardOff you don't need any language. Just take your ID and your things to sell to the selling counter.

    You can put ads (in English) on sites like Gaijinpot (Sayonara Sale) or local sites - I don't live in the area so I don't know what's available. Also tell everyone you know in the area & see if they're interested or know someone who is. It's a bit tricky to get rid of used things in Japan. Recycle shops are definitely a good option, if you have a way to take things there.

    Join garage sale and Tokyo sayanara sale on Facebook. I make more there than used store. Just offer free shipping in the price to make it easier. Any chance you have a mixer selling?

    Facebook garage sales are your best chance if your only option is English. Perhaps you could get a Japanese friend to call a se secondhand store and ask them to collect everything, for free and you get nothing or very little for your items. Otherwise some things are difficult to dispose of like washing machines and ovens and fridges, you might need to contact city hall about the rules for discarding them.

How about a challenge?

Reading the daily blogs, product, and place reviews on City Cost makes my day. I love seeing what you find novel and enriching. But what do you think of a challenge week - one week of blogs on a particular interest or location that reveals our insights into our lives as foreign residents and "experts" on the things we nerd on? Some things I do: The periodic TtoE food blogs, regional posts in Chiba Prefecture Charms blogs, and fieldtrips in the Kanto region where I live. Got 5-7 day challenge ideas?

What's on your "generic" local manhole?

My local area has some specialty manholes (including some from the Gundam manhole project not too far away!) but the most common "generic" one features mountains and watermelon. Fairly representative of the region, I think! What's on yours?

Do you have a favorite mascot?

The other day, on "Strawberry Day" I wrote about "Yoshimin", the strawberry mascot of Yoshimi. I thought it might be fun to introduce a few others, so I've just written about "Tokimo" the mascot of Kawagoe. And I plan to introduce a couple of my favorites. It begs the question, do you have a favorite mascot? And how about writing a post on City-cost about your favorite or a local mascot? Pictured "Umerin" who I plan to write about next!

Who is your hero!?

Today, January 16th, is Hero Day. Who is your favorite hero, fictional or otherwise? The first one who comes to my mind for me is a real life person; Mary Robinson, a former president of Ireland (moreover, the first female president), and a former United Nations High Commissioner of Human Rights, among other impressive roles. I had the great pleasure of meeting her in December, a dream come true. I was trying to think about who my favorite fictional hero is. I have not come to conclusion yet! There is such a choice. Do you have one?
