What's your go-to for live updates of Autumn leaves? The ones I used don't really have live updates for Saitama!

I check with Japan Meteorological Corp. it distinguishes between "autumn" and "yellow" foliage. Their most recent forecast is here - https://n-kishou.com/corp/news-contents/autumn/?lang=en

My go-to site for this is https://tenki.jp/kouyou/ (they are also helpful in spring with the sakura). I don't know if they have an app, I just use the website version! They have a nice visual scale of where leaves are still green, where they're starting to change color, where they are at their peak, and where they are starting to fall. They also have sections where you can search for leaf spots in your region which is helpful for some inspiration!

@BigfamJapan if you do find any apps that are good though, please let us know! I think it'd be easier to have an app on my phone than have to check online from time to time.

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!

Database error

Anyone else getting a database error after you log in? So far, it looks like I can still write posts, but I had trouble logging in and after log in my home page looks different to normal with a "database error" message.

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?
