Thanks for the help on this. I've asked the town office, and they're (perhaps ominously) - looking into it and will get back to us next week. I'll post the results here!

I live in the countryside, but still HAVE TO use an aircon. Fans are ineffective and just blow round warm air. You other country bumpkin types saying you don't need aircon????

I don't think I've ever started a topic before, so here goes. It's off topic too. Hmmm. Fave album? Mine has to be Metallica S&M. Awesome

Where abouts in Niigata will you be MWT?

Rather you than me, Nat. Oh it's so nice to live in the countryside!

Sony fall apart? Yeah right! My Vaio has been the best machine ive used in my experience.

I have a Pentium 3, 1.3 Vaio notebook with a 15 incher. It's great and I'd recommend it to anyone.

So what about non-high-income people then? I'm sure the majority of us fall into that category.

I have paid since I came here. I just got the bill for this year today. I suppose its just something to ask the town office......what are these alternatives then that you use and how much do they cost? cheers

Quote: Health insurance is expensive, but foreigners can opt not to join it and go private Tell me more. I just got my bill for the coming year for health today and its EXPENSIVE. Until now I just paid automatically. It seems I have been missing out - can you post more on that miteyak before I start paying this...many thanks

They've started up here in Fukushima. Noisy buggers.

They've started up here in Fukushima. Noisy buggers.

Mostly skiing. My wife just took up skiing this last season.

About 30 minutes to the east of Fukushima, in a fairly rural region.

We've got a 18 month old sprog, so we're weighing up the options right now. We're in fairly rural Fukushima right now so there's not gonna be many halves around.

They're not singing here in Fukushima. Not even a hum from them. The frogs have calmed down a bit now though and have gotten quiet.
