Australian Pastor and Bitcoiner now living in Japan. Preaching the truth of Jesus. We don’t have to agree on everything but we can respect each other.

After working for so long in Southeast Asia, and now living in Japan for the past 4 months I’m starting to miss chilli’s. The food here is awesome but not really spicy at all.

Welcome to another day of I thought I was in a modern country. Today I had one goal…. Get a phone number! I go to the store when they open, “sorry we are busy” (there is no one in the store except the 5 staff) I was told to come back at 4pm. I arrived at the allotted time to be told “sorry you don’t have an appointment “ I decided to stay and not get messed around. 10 minutes later my appointment is found and we start the process and get told that I can get a Samsung phone for 11yen as I’m a new customer. 90 minutes later I’m told that I can’t get the 11yen phone just as I’m about to sign. The end result no phone and no phone number. This was another 6 hour ordeal. I’m done with the circus this week and will begin again on Monday 🤪

Japan is different, we all think it’s modern but most practices here are very analog. I had 4 things on my agenda today, register my address with the prefectural office, open a bank account, pay my water bill, and get a new Japanese phone number. After 8 hours all I had achieved is registration of my address, paying my water bill, and making an appointment in 3 weeks to open a bank account. For a modern country things are very slow.

A month ago I moved to Shikoku Japan. Work has been busy and it’s time to start focusing again on Bitcoin and Nostr. Are there any #Nostriches in Japan? Is there anyone using Bitcoin? #askNostr #Nostr #Japan

Is anyone having issues streaming to @zap.stream ? It’s been hit and miss for me for around 3 weeks. #asknostr #zapstream
