How to REALLY make friends in Japan
On breaking out of the "gaijin bubble"
Recently I published my second article on Medium, in the publication Japonica (if you're interested in Japanese culture, check them out, there's some excellent stuff there).
My article is about a subject very dear to my heart. Namely, making friends in a new city.
More specifically, making friends in Japan. It takes a while, but it can be done! In the article I explain how.

The Unique Challenges of Renting in Japan — Part 3
Part 3: Dealing with application process
Do you love bureaucracy? Do you love getting hit with weird little charges that no-one told you about before?
If so, why not try renting an apartment in Japan?
All joking aside, Japanese apartments are generally great. If you're planning on staying in Japan for the long-haul I'd recommend renting. It probably will take longer than you're used to though, so to warn other ex-pats I put together this how-to guide on Medium. It ended up being so long that the publishers split it into 3 parts. Here's the last part.
