Answer: While you are living and working in Japan, you will need to behave appropriately and follow the law. Penalties for even minor offenses can be fairly severe. If you have any questions about what is legal or illegal in Japan, visit your country’s consulate or embassy for information. Be especially cautious when bringing drugs or medications into Japan. Recreational drugs are illegal in Japan, and many prescription or over-the-counter medications that are legal in other countries are prohibited in Japan. Check Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare site to find out which drugs, cosmetics, and medical devices you can bring with you: http://www.mhlw.go.jp/english/policy/health-medical/pharmaceuticals/01.html Depending on where you live, you may be able to use public transit. If you live in a more remote area or have to commute a long distance to work, you will probably need to use a car. If this is the case, you must get an International Driving Permit (IDP). To legally drive in Japan, you will need both an IDP and a valid driver’s license issued in your home country. The IDP is valid for 12 months from the date of issue. Procedures for getting an IDP vary by country. In the US, you can apply for an IDP through your local AAA office or the National Automobile Club. In the UK, you can apply for an IDP at selected Post Office branches. The cost of living in Japan can be high, but it varies depending on where you live. For example, the cost of living in Tokyo is about 10% higher than the national average. Do an online search for the average cost of living in the part of Japan where you plan to live, taking into account your expected salary and family size. Apartments in Japan might be pretty different from what you are used to. They are typically smaller than apartments in America, for example. A family of 3-4 in Japan might live in an apartment that is about 63 square meters (678 sq. ft.) Additionally, apartments in Japan are typically unfurnished. You will probably have to buy your major appliances (such as the refrigerator and washing machine), and you may even have to buy ceiling lights and curtains. Look in your phone book or do an internet search for clinics in your municipality. If you need more specialized or urgent care, you can visit a hospital. Some clinics and hospitals may offer foreign language services.  If you aren’t proficient in Japanese, bring someone with you to the clinic or hospital who can interpret for you. Japan’s public health insurance system will cover about 70% of most medical services. However, some conditions and services are not covered. Ask your employer in Japan about how to enroll for Employees Health Insurance.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Brush off small amounts of dirt regularly. Use mild soap to remove stains. Dry your shoes at room temperature. Do not expose your shoes to heat after washing or drying them.

Answer:
As Merrell shoes are often used for outdoor activities, they're prone to building up dirt and other debris. Make a habit of cleaning Merrell shoes after each use. After wearing your shoes, use a soft brush to gently brush off any dirt or debris. If you're vigilant about brushing off dirt regularly, it's less likely to build up on your shoes. The less you have to wash your shoes with soap, the better. If your Merrell shoes get heavily stained, muddy, or otherwise dirty, avoid using any harsh products on them. These can damage the material. Instead, use mild soap and water to wipe off any set-in stains. Then, rinse your shoes completely under running water.  You can apply the soapy water with any cleaning utensil. Make sure the shoes are completely rinsed after use. Letting soap residue sit on your Merrell shoes can cause damage. Keep rinsing them until the water runs clean. Merrell shoes should air dry naturally. Remove the laces and insoles of the shoes. Set the shoes, laces, and insoles in a safe place in your home that remains steadily at room temperature. Do not wear the shoes again until they're fully dry. Drying times vary depending on how much water you used when cleaning your shoes. Sometimes, Merrell shoes may need to dry overnight. Merrell shoes should not be dried using heat treatments. Keep them in a cool area and never use something like a dryer or hair blower to dry your Merrell shoes.
