  1. I don't mind small spaces but it's the noise you hear from neighbors keep you up at night as I'm a very light sleeper.

  3. What I learnt from real estate deals. When you see a property you like, you have to act fast. You should watch the market for at least 3 months and not expect landing any deals. Once you get experienced, then play offer as fast, decisvely, on the same day you see the property. You should also go check the neighbourhood around, walk around, even talk to people in the neighbourhood to get a feel what people are like around. Once I did this, and the next door neighbour of the house told me the house on sale used to be a pot grow op. Then I asked the agent to look into it, it was indeed so. Had I not talked to people on that street, I would not have found out.

  4. Japan is clean? Give me a break, 88% of electricity comes from burning fossil fuel. No EV adoption. This country only makes it look clean, but polluting the world around it. Also the highest pesticides use and plastic waste. Looking for vegan and organic food in Japan? Good luck.

  5.  @susannpatton2893  it's good that they teach children to gather litters to keep clean. But just hiding the garbage doesn't mean they are generating less garbage. Japan is still a very polluting county. But they are perceived to be clean because of presentation at surface level. Just wanted to point out don't judge a book by the cover

  6.  @susannpatton2893  that is very true. I often find myself thinking what can I make use of this before I throw anything away.. even though it's probably saves more time to throw it away and buy a new one when I need it in the future but I still keep some old stuff just in case I can make use of it in an unexpected way. Before you buy anything new, trying think what you can do with your existing things to achieve the same purpose that would otherwise end up in garbage.

  7. Banning solar panels to preserve nature is halarious. Only Japanese can think of such nonsense.

  8. It's amazing to see how noisy and chaotic Taipei streets compared to Shanghai where it's much cleaner and quieter as most of vehicles in Shanghai are already electric. The West has been surpassed.

  10.  @tom5858  I'm not going into explanaing EVs are still vastly more environmentally friendly than gasoline cars even taking into account of production process. As for practicality, Imany high density countries such as China and Singapore have more EV adoption. They somehow make it work to use EVs while living in apartment Japanese car makers such as Toyota are also against EVs and prefer hybrid instead. I just think Japanese society are ruled by elders who value tradition more than new trends and innovation. Japanese are lagging behind in many things. It's ;aughable they still use cash payments in most places, while the rest of world have moved on to cashless payments. Also many people still buy CDs / DVDs while the rest of world have been streaming for 10+ years.

  11. Don't get me wrong. I think Japan is a beautiful country and rich in culture. But admiring it is clean, I have to point out that it is only clean in appearance. It is a heavily polluted and polluting country and the food looks pretty and taste good, but unless it's natural food, most of pre-packaged, processed foods are packed with presticides and preservatives, much higher concentration than other countries.

  12. Japan hasn't charged in the past 30 years. It's frozen in time.
