@@itsjamlife hi! A full year. We visited the Cherry Blossom Fest in Hachinoe, check out the city of Aomori, drove all along the northern coast stopping in different villages, visited Lake Towada, AND climbed Mt Fuji for a sunrise viewing, visited Tokyo and the Hard Rock Cafe, strolled all around the city to Tokyo Tower. These were the highlights of my tour. I love the culture.😃👍🏾

@@itsjamlifewait... you can live in Japan on a work visa and bring your spouse on a spouse visa? That's crazy. Usually spouse visas are for people who are citizens and marry someone from outside their country. I didn't realize you could piggy back them like that.

Maybe get yourself a rice cooker so you cook your own rice instead of buying individual package ones, it will save you some money too.

@itsjamlife 4 ай бұрын

So true! What are your thoughts on a rice cooker vs a pressure cooker? It’s hard for us to decide cuz pressure cookers have more functions but are bulkier. We also see people online making all sorts of stuff in a rice cooker! 🤷🏻‍♀️
