Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Use an online search engine. Understand terminology. Find a real estate agent. Compare apartment rates. Consider short-term housing.

Answer: There are search engines online specifically for the sake of looking up vacant apartments and lodgings in Japan. Sites like Tokyo Roomfinder and Japan Homefinder are there to give you  insight into what is available in the area you want to stay in.  There are foreigner-friendly rental agencies specifically to help people new to Japan find accommodations. Foreigners typically find difficulty finding housing in the traditional housing market.  Apartment finders and real estate sites will have plenty of listings of potential places you should look into. Many Japanese housing sites will use shorthand lingo to describe types of places. Here are some key terms to know:  1K is a one room apartment with a kitchen. 1DK is a one room apartment with dining room and kitchen. 2LDK is a two room apartment with a living room, dining room and kitchen. As in other developed cultures, a real estate agent specializes in linking prospective tenants to open housing. There are real-estate services that will have the connections to set you on the right course. If you're not yet fluent in speaking Japanese, it helps to bring a Japanese friend along with you to interpret what's being said.  Only apartments that are currently vacant will be viewable by new prospective tentants.  Real estates tend to focus their efforts on specific neighbourhoods. Because of this, you should figure out what neighbourhood you would prefer to live in before linking up with an agent. Able is a well-known real estate service. Even if there's a specific area you're planning on living in, you should still have a fair degree of options available to you. Because Japan's urban layout is so dense, you may find multiple potential places that are all within walking distance of one another.  Apartment rates will vary wildly depending on the closeness to a city centre you're renting in. In a city centre, rates will vary from 100000-200000 ¥ per month. Outside of a city centre, rates tend to vary from 50000-150000 ¥ per month, depending on the size and amount of rooms in the apartment. This roughly equals to 1000-2000 USD and 500-1000 USD respectively. If you're budget savvy, you may try getting a room at a jiko bukken. These properties are seen as tainted because a tenant died there from unnatural causes. Because a potentially "haunted" house is more difficult to sell, you may get a deal on it. If you're visiting Japan from abroad and won't be there for the full two years most apartment leases expect of you, look into short-term "weekly mansions." Companies such as Leopalace21 and UR acknowledge the difficulties of finding lodging in Japan, and offer short-term accommodations that can be renewed on a weekly basis. Leopalace21 hires staff with experience in English, making it a perfect choice for people coming from abroad.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Tell the guy you don't like him in person. Try a text. Don't point out what's wrong with him. Be confident Don't leave the door open.

Answer: One way to try to get him to stop liking you is to simply tell him that you're not interested in person. You don't need to be mean about it, just direct and straightforward. The next time you see him, bring it up with him to help ease his attentions. You could say, "John, you seem to be interested in me as a girlfriend. I wanted to let you know that I don't feel the same way." If you can't bring yourself to do it in person, you can always try a text or message. In some ways, it can be better, because it can help save his ego; however, he also might think you don't have enough respect for him to tell him in person. Think about whether he's more of a digital person or a person who likes to deal with things face-to-face to help make your decision about how to tell him. Once again, be direct but not mean. You could write, "John, please stop sending me texts. I'm not interested in you in the way you're interested in me." It can be tempting to explain why you don't like him. He may even ask why you don't like him; however, that can get nasty very quickly. It's best to just say that you're not interested in him romantically, and then leave it alone. For example, saying, "I don't like you because you're ugly," is not going to help the situation at all. Instead, say, "I just don't feel that way about you." . If you're timid in your assertion that you're not interested, some guys may take that as an indication to work harder to get you to like them; however, if you are confident when you're telling him that you're not interested, that usually will work better to get a guy to back off.  Speak in a clear, confident tone. Make sure you're standing tall or sitting up straight. Look him in the eye as you say it. Also, try not to make it into a question. That is, some people put an upward inflection on the end of a sentence, making it seem like a question rather than a statement. Keep your tone steady. If you leave it open-ended, you're giving him a chance to hope for a relationship in the future. You don't want him to hold on to that possibility when you don't ever plan to date him in the future. Even as you're trying to not be mean, make sure you're closing the door firmly.  For example, saying "You're a nice guy, and you have a lot of great qualities. You just need to be around me a little less," isn't very definitive. You can still start out similarly, but make sure you end on a strong note: "You're a nice guy, but I don't see us being together. I'm not interested in you in that way."
