    In my experience; people here short term pay in cash as it is hard to get a loan if you don't have permanent residency.

    I know people who are here on spousal visas and are permanent residents, but they couldn't get a loan for a house or a car because they're not Japanese citizens. I heard from a former co-worker that you pay short term in cash.

    Buy a car with cash. It is very difficult to get loan if you do not have PR.

    Buy a used car for reasonable price and the condition of the used cars are also very good.

Japanese names you love?

I blogged yesterday about this year's top baby names in Japan, and there was quite a focus on nature and calmness in the most popular picks. I was wondering if there are any Japanese names you love for the meaning behind them. Maybe you have a friend, coworker, or even family member with a beautiful name. I'd be happy to hear what it is, and why you like it so much!
