@JaponicaPub In the UK we charge international students ¥1,200,000 extra, per year. We also limit the number of international students allowed to keep spaces for British people, that limit is about 50% and top universities hit the limit annually.

Is it fair? No, but that's pretty cheap!

@JaponicaPub @stylostine Fantastic, I used to live in Miyazaki and Sakurajima was one of the strangest things I've seen. It looks how I imagine a catastrophic eruption looks like every day!

Four things @stylostine wished she knew before moving to Kyushu Japan, including what to pack for life in Kagoshima and what to leave home.

@john_qjn I hid an old mans ball in a tree, and some idiot blocked traffic trying to get the ball back. There was a Maiko in the taxi behind waiting. Incredible.

Finding lesser-known places and exploring not just the destination but everything in between is the allure of a road trip.
@LimbuRomit describes the joy and adventure of a road trip in the mountains of Japan.

@JaponicaPub @LimbuRomit Fantastic, I did a similar impromptu drive through Gifu, up to Toyama through places I'd never heard of before. During cherry blossoms as well, it was fantastic!
