Well fark. @_@

Its my 2nd week, and when I was on my way to work yesterday I saw a dead body of a girl in her 20s, got hit by those Sagawa truck and there is plenty of cops around trying to cover the scene with a tarp. But obviously still visible.

And she got hit on a traffic light zebra crossing infront of my office. Not sure who is at fault, the driver or the girl?, but either ways that now make me terrified to cross the road.

Japan have been eventful but this on my 2nd week is a bit crazy. Whats gonna happen on my 3rd week T_T After they clean it up, they  pull out a banner that wrote 死亡事故発生現場

Damn so young and so pretty. RIP

I go to a job fair in Japan, interview by hr recruiter, and on second meet up she offer the naiteisiki, that's why I think not confirm yet since no test no interview with technical people and director, maybe because I have 8 years working experience in Malaysia that's why can skip?

Probably naitei only

No offer letter

But I heard from Japanese they say unlike Malaysia Japan company don't directly offer the position, need to go through OJT and then only assign position

So what happened? are you in Japan now?

Attended the naitei welcome ceremony, now waiting for further instruction for what to do

Those earning yen should be happy now, Yen to MYR rate going to break 10 years high.
Do anyone heard japan going to face another bubble economy soon?

Japan government would probably print money soon and bring down their currency. Their main source of income is export, with the increase in Japanese yen, the export income maybe significantly affected.

Hmm what a weird company, no interview and what not afterwards?
Did you figure out what the hell that ceremony is about?

So~
Is there a community here for Malaysian people?
Where do you guys/gals meet up with other Malaysians or everyone is out there on their own?

HI sifus. I have a question here. I may be considering an international assignment of 1 yr to Yokohama but my company will be paying me in MYR instead of Yen. Will I be double taxed as in income tax in Msia & Jpn or only kena tax in Msia? How about other taxes like EPF & stuff?
Was trying to read up articles on this, a good read up found at PWC website (https://www.pwc.com/us/en/hr-international-assignment-services/assets/japan-folio.pdf)
but the more i read, the more confusing it is @_@
Tasukete kudasai!

So anyone here succeeded on getting a credit card?

Good question! I got mine after a few try. Normally  bank CCs are the hardest. Try shopping complex like Isetan/Takashimaya. They are the easiest. That was my first card. Heard that Rakuten is easy as well. Been told that the reason its difficult for foreigners is because we do not have any credit information. Once you get your first one, use it for while to build up your credit history then it will be easy.

Ah which shopping complex and how many years when you are here before you apply btw?

Isetan. Got it after 6-9months in Japan. Cannot really remember exactly when. When first arrived, I tried banks that I have an account and yodobashi but got rejected.

Most big players, like ISetan, Aeon Takashimaya have thier own CC. During promotion period, they even give you cash voucher just to apply. So just apply and you have nothing to lose even if it is rejected!

yeah I tried applying to Life, and Amazon card and got rejected.
I remember reading on reddit, the more you get rejected, you will get rejected when you are applying for the next card.

Will go to Aeon tomorrow and see if theres those guys who always pester people to register.
