Ah yes the 右丸左丸 is an age old technique and the only record of samurai doing house chores. It was actually forbidden by women who cooked to take part in the ritual, as they had already spent their energy and could not wash the dishes with all of their heart. To break a dish was considered auspicious as kinstugi could be used to repair it, but to break two was to invite death onto the home desu.

He probably has permanent visa status due to his marriage, the residency thing takes a maximum of 10 years from what I heard but I can't be sure since the Japanese immigration system is convoluted.

@vladivanovic1234

2 жыл бұрын

@@yami2227 convulsed it is. If your on a spouse visa you need to wait till your granted a 3 or 5 year spouse visa before you can apply for Permanent Residency. To get a 3 or 5 year spouse visa, they will give you one year visa for a few years, no matter how long you’ve been married… so it takes at least 4 years till your eligible to apply. The other route is point based via highly skilled foreigner, which they give out 3 and 5 year visas for highly skilled right away, then after a year of being that you can apply. So a total of one and a bit years but a higher bar of entry because it’s points based. Then the hot tip I got from immigration is that if your highly skilled, are married and then have kids in Japan, they treat your application differently so it’s not just based on points but other merits as well, so there’s a higher chance you get it. It took me 2 years living in Japan the second time to get it using the highly skilled method and I had been married for a total of 6 years at that point. But I definitely got lucky according to some other foreigners I know.

Do you need that system in a country where the lowest temperature in mid-November is 10 degrees Celsius (58 degrees Fahrenheit)? It was days that 86 degrees Fahrenheit until three weeks ago. Then it gets hot again in April. It only takes two months for the temperature to drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit in most areas. Would you spend 4 million yen ($40,000) in a country where we can wear layers and be fine? 70% of the areas here have about 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit) for more than 6 months. And in Hokkaido, the coldest island in Japan, there is central heating.

When seeing the thumbnail and the title, I was worried for a bit that this may be serious. That this may be another unscripted video that reveals Dōgen's real feelings. But then I clicked on it and hear a deep breath, and I knew that it's another comedy video. I thought it was gonna be a one-sided (comedic) bashing of either Japan or the US, but it actually has a bit of both, which made this even funnier.

Has me rolling the whole time, then I immediately shut up cause Dogen-sensei cuts me deep. Love your stuff, never stop.

Duuuuude... I keep watching your videos because I continue to be blown away by how natural you sound. I can't even keep up with half of it but I also can't stop listening. Respect dude. Respect.

Gotta love that Dogen's videos always have that 日本語上手 somewhere

I absolutely love that dogen's videos are one gigantic meme www every video prepares you for the next one and his content keeps getting better and better the more you upload! Edit: typo

Been horribly sick a while now, saw the video notification, finally smiled and said "this is going to be good". A gem as always 👌🏼

I was grinning already before the video started, because I knew the direction this was gonna go in. I was not disappointed.

1:25 i cant stop rewatching that 「うん、楽しかった😬」

I was at a low point in my cultural adjustment, really starting to hate Thailand. Yet, when I got back, it was hard to get used to things. They closed the doors on the bus until it came to a full stop! You couldn't just jump off whenever it slowed down! And it was so cold, even in July. And, worst of all, no street food. I lost all my intestinal parasites, and developed food sensitivities instead.
