Unpopular opinion: Japan is not that hot in summer. Most people live in air con 24/7 such as on every train and bus, inside every single shop, inside your apartment unless life is too hard for you.

Today's lesson: Don't make Japanese women angry in public or they'll film you, call you racist and ask people to help destroy your livelihood. Next time just keep saying sorry repeatedly and she'll eventually get back on the broomstick and fly away.

Our rent in Osaka is about ¥110,000 a month for a 3 bedroom apartment. It's slightly higher than what you can find because it's been renovated just before moving in. Could pay ¥80,000 to ¥90,000 for a similar sized apartment. No car park but has bike parking.
