Yolla seems to have similar prices. I bought some credit with them. I haven’t needed to use it yet, so I cannot vouch for the call quality. Unlike others, their credit doesn’t expire after a certain period. You can also get a good deal by searching for discount codes before buying credit.
I wouldn’t do that. It sounds like a full time job, of which I assume you already have. To me it would feel weird, like a power imbalance.
What happens when you don’t have time or energy to complete your tasks. Will he kick you out? Is your name on the lease?
Organising clothes and belongings is something I’d only do for family.
But, you know your roommate best, so do what you feel is right.
Maybe you can do a one month trial run?
Sounds like Rakuten!
Here in Japan, travel agents are still around. The brick and mortar ones have actually branched out to offer their services online, too.
I assume they mostly survive on people who want to book a package tour, which are insanely popular here.
Some of them will now charge a consultation fee whether you buy something or not, so you can see how the industry is hurting.
Although I’m not a boomer, I did use one last year as they are great for just showing you all the options in a very clear way. With just an hour to spare to book a family trip, it was the way to go (for me at least).
I do think that next time I will use them to consult, but then book online to avoid their fee. Also, it seems that booking though the agent makes the ticket less flexible (the airline will lock out some parts of their website and tell you to have the agent do the thing which you wanted to)
So, yeah, it’ll be just like shopping. Go to the store to look and get info, then buy online to save money.
It would except for the fact that shoe sizes here, from babies to adults are only sized in centimetres. If there are international sizes printed on the shoes, they have no meaning to residents in Japan. Check the tag inside your shoes; If they have international sizes printed on them, you’ll see Japan’s is in centimetres, and may have EE (or more Es) next to it to denote width. If there is nothing, then they are standard width.
Children’s clothing is also sized in centimetres. Makes things really simple.

No trash cans in the parks around here. Train stations tend to only have trash cans on the platforms, not inside the station (just my experience, not definitive). You just learn to carry your trash with you until you find somewhere to dispose of it. I don’t see the big deal. If you do buy something from a street vendor say in a park or at a festival, they will provide a way to dispose of it. Also, it is not so common to eat whilst walking, so it reduces the problem considerably.

With parental consent, we got the basic mechanics taught to us in grade 7. The very first thing was the teacher asked us what words we knew for genitalia (dick etc), wrote them all on the board, and then banned us from using them in the class. We were only to use the proper words.
Then in grade 10, without parental consent, we started getting weekly classes during our homeroom class. There were about five classes in total. It was conducted by someone from outside the school (from a group like planned parenthood I guess), but our teacher was present.
There were many discussions, different forms of contraception were introduced, and literally passed around for us to look at. The pill, dental dams, condoms, female condoms, (I’m probably forgetting some). We practiced putting condoms onto plastic bananas, and were all given one (some?) to take home.
There was an anonymous question box which the instructor answered. Sex for pleasure, including masturbation was discussed. I don’t remember anything about LGBT as it was a different time then. After high school, though many classmates came out.
I do remember one of these lessons was about STDs, and the instructor was going to show those horrific pictures as others have described. But our (cool) teacher stopped them. Overall, it was a great experience for us.
