This is the first post that has a title. I guess it's beause this is mostly going to be about opening a bank account only. I'll "try" to only put stuff about banks here.
So... (I only considered 2 banks :P)
The first bank I tried to open an account with is shinsei bank (新生銀行, I think... idk japanese).
The most important thing you must consider before opening an account with them is...
Q: Are you under 20?
A: If yes: you need MOAR paper work and if your parents aren't in japan you prolly can't open an account with them. Correct me if I'm wrong.
If no: you're fine and you may open an account with shinsei bank.
This paragraph is still about shinsei bank. The main reasons I considered shinsei bank is that the website is in english! And depending on the colour of cash card you pick you can get the cash card right away. The cash cards look pretty cool IMO.
The other bank I considered is yuucho aka japan post bank (ゆうちょ銀行）.
This one, you don't have to be at least 20 years old. Buy you don't get the cashcard instantly.
The main advantage about this one is that the post office is "everywhere". Unlike other banks where the branches (not atms) are only at certain places.
That's all I have to say for now...

Mwahahahahaha! I have something new to write.
This is about registering the resident card in japan.
Basically you need to know which area you live in. Go to the ward office with your passport and alien card. Then there is this form you must fill out there. There is an incomplete english translation and if you get stuck just hope someone will come and help you or ask for help or figure it out!
Inside... You usually have to wait as you need to go to some sort of machine to get a numbered ticket.
This is also your opportunity to get national health insurance.
2016 april law in japan says you must register within 14 days of moving into your new permanent lodgings.
I guess this is it for now!

I am starting to get lazier updating this blog.
So I think this blog won't be organised.
In Yoshida International House, there are some furnitures in the room. They give you some bedding stuff and a fridge and a stove. That's about it. you need to buy everything else yourself. Including LAN cable to access their internet.
In sakura watching season the busses in Kyoto are packed. I don't know if they are still packed outside of sakura watching season.
Let's just say this is it for now.
