Soap (although of course some soaps are actually detergents in disguise) can't necessarily replace shampoo. Soaps can react with hardness in the water and leave the residue on your hair. Detergents like shampoo do not react in that way. On the other hand, replacing your soap with a detergent like shampoo or body wash would be fine.
Donald Trump loves to pardon anyone who has paid him extraordinary amounts of money. Or if it riles up his enemies. Other than that, you are out of luck.
Even if you turn off your phone, there is a lower-level operating system that is still connecting to cell phone towers. You either have to take the battery out, or leave your phone at home.
That sounds like a bit of an improvement since I was there. At that time, women were not even given the chance to be on the career path, because it was assumed that they would quit when they started a family.
We had two children when I was in Japan, and the prenatal care was pretty good. The births themselves were not great examples of medical care, I have to say. Still, it's normal for women in Japan to stay in the hospital a week after a typical birth. I suspect that's because if they went home, they would still have to do all the housework.
I did a quick search, and it appears that it is still very common for Japanese companies to expect unpaid overtime.
Even when I was there, overtime pay was mandatory. The thing is, you get a lot of peer pressure to do unpaid overtime because everyone around you is doing it. If I recall correctly, the government made a big deal about limiting overtime, only to reveal sheepishly that their own employees had worked tons of unpaid overtime to bring in the new legislation.
One of the advantages of being a foreigner in a Japanese company is that you don't have the same kind of pressures or expectations.
Wow, their website is really shitty on a phone, though (not sure about on a desktop). Half of all the pages are taken up with ads. Much too easy to hit one by mistake.
They don't even have to pay overtime for work over 28 hours. If they just paid overtime for the actual or time work that is done, that would make an enormous difference. When I worked in Japan (25 years ago, but I have read/heard nothing to suggest that the situation has changed), it was normal for people to work 60 or 70 hours, but not claim any overtime.
Alternatively, they could go to one of the "penis temples" in Japan. I know that there is more than one, because a Google search turned up this one, and I have been to another in southern Osaka Prefecture.
The one that I went to was actually devoted to fertility and appeasing The souls of aborted/miscarried babies, but it had its fair share of penises as well.
It has courses for about 10 languages. All of them are sets of MP3 files, about 10 minutes each. You can download them from soundcloud, listen via YouTube, or install the simple but very effective app.
I think you would be shocked at how natural and effective this system is. I have been using it to learn Spanish as my fifth language, and it is easily the best language acquisition system I have ever used short of living in the target country. It explicitly avoids and discourages memorization.
It's completely free, but the creator asks for donations to cover his expenses. Believe it or not, one man has created courses for French, Spanish, German, Italian, Greek, Turkish, Arabic, Swahili, and recently Japanese.
