Living Alone in Japan | A day in my Life | Tax refund application, My Number Card, Grocery, Cooking

Konnichiwa dear friends. Another video here.
Please like, comment, and share🙏❤️
Come with me as I process my income and residence tax refund. Together with my friends, we went to tax office for application. Did we make it? In this video, I will be explaining about taxes we pay in Japan and how to refund it. But of course there are lots of requirements.
I also claimed my My Number Card in City hall.
Salary day, we treated ourselves a good meal. Reward for our hardwork. Had groceries and do the cooking.
I also changed the light in my cooking area because it is turning on and off, soars my eyes.
It was a tiring but productive day.
Hope you watch my video till the end.
Please subscribe if you are new here🙏
To all my friends here, Thank you always for supporting my small channel.
I love you all❤️
Che B.

Lots of paperwork to get the refund/deduction but it's easily processed. That was a lot of shopping for your money Che. That was an interesting t-shirt you were wearing as you ate your pork and mung bean stew. 😀

[@CheB.0609]

Just checking if there’s someone who can notice my shirt. ‘Cause everyone who see’s it had a second glimpse😂😂😂

Seeing people's lives in other countries (places) fascinates me. I do find it intresting. 🗺 😃👌 Also, thanks for putting the conversions $ ¥ P.

Thank you Ian☺️ Have a nice day😁

Well done BF! Thumbs 👍🏼

My mom, grandma and aunts used to pick the pods from the bushes when ready and sit down plucking the peas from the pod and gossiping about the neighborhood😂

[@CheB.0609]

Imagining it😂😂😂

[@Pawpaw-lh9nj]

Hello Che B. Hope your having a good day. Loved your video. You are very busy all the time. Have a great day. Much much love

[@CheB.0609]

Hi Ma'am Paw. How are you? Lunch break here, maybe you are sleeping now😴 Have a good sleep☺️ Much love too❤️😘

[@Pawpaw-lh9nj]

Hello Miss Cherry Pie from USA. The stew looked delicious and healthy. I think you are a wonderful cook. Hope you are having a wonderful blessed day. Much much love

[@CheB.0609]

Hi Ma'am Paw☺️ Not really good in cooking. I know only the basic😂 Have a wonderful day too😊 ❤️❤️❤️

[@Pawpaw-lh9nj]

Che B , you are a lot better cook than you give yourself credit for. You make so many different dishes and they all look delicious. The basics are the best 😊 Much love

Another video here😊 How's everyone?

[@nemelendez]

Yep arroz con gandules. Now add rice and water and boil until water almost evaporates. Leave a little wate bring fire to med low and let cook for 20 minutes😁

[@nemelendez]

Heated white vinegar and dishwasher fluid, great for bathroom cleaning. Just remember to air out afterwards.

[@nemelendez]

Oh, I went to the bank today and there was a lady from PI😄. She had been married to a military from subic bay 36 years and recently separated. I am in Puerto Rico, half way round the world and the language here is mostly Spanish. About 45% of the people also speak English.

[@CheB.0609]

Glad you met Filipina. I heard Puerto Rico before, won in Miss Universe.

Hello CheB another great video in my country i live in the US every year we pay taxes you have to file before April we have state and federal taxes we have to pay every year after you file you get a refund or you have to pay more taxes if they didnt take out enough that happens to a lot of people i loved your cooking of the mung bean it reminds me of gandules with is pigeon peas we make with rice and only eaten on holidays with Lechon well have a blessed week and God bless you your friend Danny

[@CheB.0609]

Hi Sir Danny, lunchbreak here. Here the release of tax payment is July. People are diligent in paying it, and only foreigners are processing the refund. Don't know the case, if you are Japanese☺️ Learned it from Ma'am Neme, it's gandules, but I think you cook it differently and it's interesting😁 God bless Sir🙏

[@nemelendez]

Ooh and put on lid so the steam Cooke the rice. Should have added garlic.

[@nemelendez]

You know, a fan does just as good to dry clothes. The convection drys it faster than heat. Don’t need heat just quick flowing air.

[@mmatiasautio]

Good morning Che! (Well it's morning for me 😆) Even having worked in Japan, I learned new things about the taxes. Interesting to know. Food looks nice and I see you got a new knife ✨ That t-shirt though 😂😂

[@CheB.0609]

Did not find ceremic glass mug. New knife will do. ☺️ Really you worked here? Hahah! The tshirt😂 You noticed too😂

[@mmatiasautio]

@@CheB.0609yes I did! In a Japanese company for one year. Then Covid hit and I decided to go back my country... but now I have many friends there I can visit whenever I can go to Japan 😁

In Japan, there are no Monggo. bought it in Filipino store. Glad you have it in your country☺️

How do you make a cleaning solution with Coca Cola? Pour toothpaste into a bottle of Coke, shake it vigorously, pour in a bowl, add liquid soap, baking soda, 1 cup of water. Mix and pour in a spray bottle. Spray your pots and pan. so clean and shiny🤣🤣🤣

[@CheB.0609]

Will try it😁

[@nemelendez]

Those look like gandules. They grow wild here. Great with rice and pork.

[@CheB.0609]

Maybe that's it. glad it has in your country.

[@antoinette7805]

In Japan everything is so cheap . In Europe it’s 3 till 4 times expensive . Although in vacation and outlet stores you see only Asian people buying brand articles like luis vitton etc etc . In Japan you have so much plastic

[@CheB.0609]

Hi Ma'am Antoinette. I thought cost of living here is expensive, now I know Europe is more expensive. My other co workers want to work there though. ❤️❤️❤️ Right, lots of plastic. But they are biodegradable, and disposed properly☺️ Have a good day Ma'am. It's lunchbreak here.

[@nemelendez]

Sorry about your plants☹

Are the trains in Japan always on time? Not in Germany. Here, punctuality varies from one place to the next. And then the train drivers want more money for their unpunctuality.

[@CheB.0609]

Yes, always. If they are late, they make an apology, but did not experience it because they are always on time☺️

[@kostja8896]

@@CheB.0609 you're in luck. here in Germany no train driver apologizes if he's 30 minutes late

[@kostja8896]

@@CheB.0609 here in germany the train drivers do not apologize for 1-2 hours delay. Instead they say give me more money and less working hours from 40 to 35 hours a week for the same salary or more

@@kostja8896 Interesting. here, even 1min late is a shame for them. Japanese people are punctual.

What does sarap mean? Good? So, is your boyfriend Japanese or Filipino? I was just curious since you said you may only work one more year in Japan. Will your friends return to the Phillipines as well?

Sarap or masarap means delicious. Yes, we are going back to Philippines.☺️

You made the white rice separate…nooooo😖

How to use Coca-Cola to clean mold? mixed with laundry detergent will eradicate black mold. 5. Pour a suitable amount of Coca Cola, a little floral water, dish soap, baking soda, and white vinegar into your washing machine. and start the cleaning cycle.Jun 26, 2023😁

[@nemelendez]

How long do you soak things in Coke? To clean old rusty tools with Coke, submerge the tools in a tub or bowl of Coca-Cola overnight (not sure if Diet Coke or Pepsi will work - best to stick with original Coke). If you can still see rust, leave them for a few more days.🤣

[@CheB.0609]

Thank you for the info, will try it.☺️

[@kflor5231]

Nice video on living in Japan. Like the shopping, dining, and daily life. Tip: when you are cooking it’s good to place the lid correctly on the pot by fitting the open part to the pot handle to seal the lid. See the video around the time 24:27 to 25:05. Noticed in your other videos when cooking with same pot and lid. Saves heat and cooks faster.

[@CheB.0609]

Hi, Ma'am K Flor☺️ Thank you for watching my videos, happy me😀 Now I know why the lid doesn't fit perfectly, because it has a right position. Thank you for the info☺️🤗

Question for you. Your removable handle cookware is it Carote brand? How good is it?

Thank you for posting the prices on the things you buy, it’s interesting to see the difference. We pay taxes on everything we buy and a State and Federal tax. At they’d of the year sometimes we get money back sometimes we don’t and sometimes we have to pay them money. Depends on how much you make. I’m Kathy from South Carolina, USA 🇺🇸
