Now,All of our money has been spent on clearing farmland and building a pigsty, so we've been living on a shoestring budget for about 15 days.
With only 10 days left until my next pension payment, I've used up all of my meager savings in Japan.
And yet, the parents are 'I received the bill for last year's city tax and paid it, so please transfer the money back to me.'. Everyone's a mess.
I called the city hall and saidHow can I pay taxes if I live abroad and have no income in Japan?
Or are you planning to come all the way to the Philippines to seize the assets?I couldn't help but press him for an explanation.
The only thing the city hall has is 'If you are unable to make payments and do not have a tax representative, then there is nothing that can be done.'. Something is seriously wrong with Japan.
That said, both the auto repair shop and the hospital are all in debt.
Both of Gigi's cars are still malfunctioning, and no matter how many times they are repaired, the same thing keeps breaking down, so he's resorting to refusing to pay (defaulting on his debts).
Incidentally, the passenger car is currently inoperable and has been left abandoned at a repair shop.
This is the result of a father's naive thinking last year, based on the assumption that he was unaware of the current situation in the Philippines ('Find a used car').
Gigi had a cold and was coughing for about 10 days, and now she's developed a rash-like condition on half of her body.
neverthelessI have no money.For that reason, I tried having something done by a local healer or something similar, but it didn't get any better at all.
However, she was experiencing severe itching and pain from her left arm down to her neck, and she couldn't put any strength into her hand, so I dragged her to the hospital against her will.
The doctor had apparently been to Osaka for training for about four days, so we ended up chatting about Japan rather than giving a proper examination.
We were having such a lively conversation, especially about the high cost of living, high-tech toilets with bidet functions, and Japanese food, that we completely forgot about the next patient.
It looks like this.
The doctor's diagnosis was that the patient's immune system was weakened due to illness, and that the virus or a small insect had likely bitten them.
However, I couldn't imagine it spreading throughout my entire body, so I asked many questions, but they said they didn't really know.
I got antibiotics and vitamin B from the pharmacy based on the prescription.
Incidentally, this shelf had a variety of Nissin ramen on it, so I bought just two kinds to take home.
These are children buying sandals at a shoe store.
Gian, Jinny, and Terin's sandals broke, so we went to buy new ones.
Incidentally, 90% of shoe stores stock sandals and slippers.
There were only a few shoes in the corner of the store.
The children bought their own sandals and went to Gigi.
It's a bargain when a pair of shoes costs around 50 pesos (100 yen) and brings smiles to everyone's faces.
By the way, recently IFoot fetish.It has become that way.
This is a newly opened market in Osamisu.
Inside, there are numerous retail stores selling fresh produce.
All sales are conducted in person.
Customers and shop staff chat while browsing the products.
This is the source of vitality in the Osamis area of Mindanao.
