    If you like peanut butter, bring a jar. It is still fairly hard to find. Find out which stores in your area have a "foreign food" section. The selection will vary from month to month and will be pricey but sometimes a splurge is called for especially if it is something that is a staple back home. For me it was cheddar cheese.

    • @bibilife6195
      @bibilife6195 2 года назад +1

      Well I had the advantage of having friends from Japan and also visiting, so that was my first opportunity of getting advice. Then I pretty much start watching people on RUclips who live in Japan to gain some sort of light to how it would be living there while doing my own research. This motivated me to start learning the language because it would be very helpful on daily basis of life. Due to covid I haven't been able to move yet however I still keep up to date with learning the language and educating myself about their culture, customs and way of life. I feel this is good basis to start because it allows you to see if this is something you truly want in regards of moving to a new place. I say this because it's a whole new environment and experiences, that you might not be use to so its good to be sure. I hope this gave you some sort of insight where to begin with your own research and journey.

    But just a heads up you should check Amazon.jp before ordering from regular Amazon so you can avoid the shipping cost and the long ass shipping time. You’d actually be able to use your prime feature. Only caveat is that Amazon.jp won’t always have everything the regular Amazon does but it never hurts to try. It was really helpful for me. Looking forward to the next video!🥰

He can't seem to find American tasting bagels or hardy wheat/grainy bread. So, I've even shipped that along with his favorite cereal. Luckily, I getxa discount through FedEx. It still is expensive to ship. Also, wool dress coats, raincoats, and suits are extremely expensive in Japan. Thanks for giving such good advice. Such a big country. But it still doesn't offer bigger sizes.

And if you like what works for you at home, you may be very disappointed with another country's version - - ain't the same; especially, SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER! And in some places, conditioner doesn't exist.

I just don't know how to go about it and began getting realistic about my move as of early May. I've narrowed it down to Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto but I'm open to other cities. I'm a young professional in my 20s & I'm just trying to gather as much information so I can take the appropriate steps to make this move possible by the end of the year God willing. Also, what's the current state in the country? As far as C-19 goes. Any feedback would be highly appreciated! Tysm for reading up to here! Hope to hear from somebody out there.
