The dishwasher is actually better than what most people think, but a lot of them don’t know that they’re using it wrong.

They should program a timer set to the tune of a nice, friendly song that will gently remind the driver to exit the circle in time.

However, another key distinction listed in the Wikipedia article is that the “Geneva Conventions declare that mercenaries are not recognized as legitimate combatants and do not have to be granted the same legal protections as captured service personnel of the armed forces.” So it’s an even riskier business.

A neat thing about living in Japan is that there are announcements and signs everywhere telling you to please keep your phone silent and to turn down the volume on your headphones so that noise doesn’t leak out either. ‘Silent mode’ is literally called ‘manner mode.’

That is unfortunate. I also installed Linux Mint last year, and although I’ve had weird little issues here and there, none of them were major, and overall I was able to use it exclusively for the last seven months. One issue I encountered when installing was actually because of Window’s fault (during the drive partitioning portion), since I do dual-booting.

Hand sanitizer works great too!

Sure! I’ll go with what my friends recommended as well, since I haven’t travelled to all of the locations I want to go yet. Tōkyō is of course pretty bustling, and has a lot. Kyōto, Ōsaka, and Nara (i.e. the Kansai region) are all close to one another, so it’s a good area to visit and sightsee. Although, it can get incredibly crowded with tourists. Other places people mention they like are Sapporo in Hokkaidō, and maybe Fukuoka in Kyūshū. Also, what the other commenter mentioned is good advice. Feel free to PM me if you have any other questions.

Come to Japan. Here, they have all sorts of seating at places specifically for people to be alone.

Agreed.

Nice username, by the way.

Out of curiosity, I looked for the Xbox in a big electronics store, and found it in a teeny, tiny, little corner. I don’t ever remember seeing any in the secondhand stores though.

Technically not a sabbatical, but I saved up a bunch of money, quit my job, and have been studying abroad in Japan.

It really is a cool tree, but man, having to walk near fallen gingko nuts every day during the autumn is kind of torture.
