Yes, but I live in a part that is mostly residential, so there is few stores, the few ones are open during the day, and since this place is a little far from most big avenues I could only get to the nearest 24h store by car, or else I would have to walk 1 hour and half to get there, so it's easier to wait til morning where the public transport starts and go to the mall.
It's because of things like this that I want to get a driver license, but each year they make the exam harder, so hard that not even my calculus exam was as tedious as the driver exam knowledge requirements, soo, I'm kinda lazy to study all of that.
It's kind of stupid to make the exam so hard, since there are still car accidents, people know the rules & how to drive, but sometimes they skip the rules really hard.
Ah, stupid people who won't follow the traffic rules. Reminds me how much I hated cars and their drivers (Team Train FTW). For me the hardest part was finding parking space, parking cars in tight spaces, dealing with road-raging morons on the street, and the maintenance costs.
To add salt to injury, when you're taking the license, you'd have to make it really obvious that you're aware and is following the traffic rules, to the inattentive examiners.
During the exam: You'd kinda want to briefly tilt your head towards the general direction of a traffic sign to make it really obvious that you're aware that it exist (no, glancing is not good enough). Same thing with checking the rear / wing mirror. You'd want make it as obvious as possible to the examiner. It looks comical, but it works.
Drop your speed and mind your distance. A car is bigger and faster than you think, so your spatial awareness is paramount (especially during parking). A vehicle also takes time to decelerate, so don't ever tailgate or you'd have no time to evade collision. Lack of spatial awareness and velocity is the exactly why so many idiots in cars, ended up with near-misses or grazed other's cars. Hit-and-runs aren't even rare to these impatient numbskulls.
This might seem obvious, but when you're driving with a passenger (i.e. the examiner), the difference of weight is very noticeable, compared to when you're driving on your own. Take this into account when and how hard you should hit the gas / brake on the streets. No sudden acceleration nor deceleration. Slow and steady wins the race.
Deal with road rage as best as possible. Even if you're surrounded by literal idiots on the streets.
How about going for a high CC motorcycle's license, instead? Did they allow them on your country's highway? Much more economical compared to cars, especially considering the license, registration, parking fee, insurance, and all the hidden costs that'll quickly add up. These maintenance costs are exactly why cars are for the elites, and trains are mass transportation. If you don't drive often, I suggest you to just rent or get a high CC motorcycle instead.

Thanks for the tips, I considered a motorcylce since it's cheaper than a car, but the winter here is cold, and the summer makes me wonder if I'll survive the heat, I think I would faint in a motorcycle during summer xd

Fair point. Riding a motorcycle requires some prep, especially during winter.
For me, I wear several layers during winter. Something like Therma Tek thermal long sleeve shirt and leggings, underneath my normal clothes. Coupled that with heavy duty winter motorbike jacket, winter gloves, neck warmer, and full-face windshield helmet. If it's raining during winter; then waterproof gloves, rain boots, and a full-body raincoat will do (the raincoat will stop most of the wind). You'd want to quite literally armor yourself from the cold, because you'd be blasted by the winter wind directly.
In summer, it's not too bad actually. The wind is relatively strong when you're on a motorbike (unless the traffic jam is hideous). Hence why even in summer, you'll still need a motorbike jacket (albeit with a much lighter one, like a parachute jacket). That and an open-face helmet that comes with a visor (to block the sun glare) or just a normal open-face helmet with a normal sunglasses.
It all boils down to preferences really. For me, I'd rather use my time to suit up while waiting for the motorbike engine to warm up. Compared to wasting my time finding a parking spot in a crowded place in a car. At the very least, I can control how fast I can suit up, compared to waiting until an available parking spot is open. Granted, you'll need to carry around a backpack, but I always go anywhere with my trusty mountaineering backpack to begin with (even on a train). To reiterate, preferences it is.
You're well-informed. The high sodium content in the ramen soup (that is used to flavor the noodles) also makes the Japanese think that they're not the healthiest meal to go around.
Also, (due to cultural reasons) consuming any carbohydrate other than rice, is generally not considered as a "proper meal." They're considered more as a snack or light meal. In Osaka, it's even more extreme. They considered Okonomiyaki as a side dish for rice (which means they're consuming carbs on carbs), to the bewilderment of those living in Tokyo.
To be more accurate however, this is the sentiment of the midlife and elderly Japanese. To current Japanese teenagers and young adults however, they're all carbohydrates. The same cultural values can even be observed in Italy, where you're not considered to have already eaten a "proper meal" unless you've had pasta (to the bewilderment of Italian youths). It's a prime example of generation gap between those raised in the era of globalization, and those who don't.
Even then, there are exceptions to the rule. Even lunchboxes (bento) you can buy at the 24/7 Japanese convenience store, can also be considered as "fast food" to them. This is because they often includes only fried foods with little to no nutrition. To the Japanese (and a lot of Asian countries), a "proper meal" is a "big meal" that you have at a local eatery or something you cooked yourself.
Exactly. In Japan's most cities, parents often use the word "Proper Meal" to blame their children, though in Tokyo people really don't care whether they're eating fast-food or not, carbohydrates are all equal to them.
Does "Proper Meal" include coffee in Italy? If you've had pasta with fruit juice, you're still not considered to have already eaten "A Proper Meal" ? LOL
The generation gap exists in every era. In my opinion, it's not directly related to globalisation, but it's just that this generation gap has been magnified in the context of globalisation.
Speaking of unhealthy cravings, I'm really in the mood to eat a fatty, salty, juicy, thick cut bacon at the moment. Alas, it's raining cats and dogs outside. I don't want to be pelted by water bullets, just to buy a slab of bacon on the meat aisle. Will Uber go to the supermarket for you?
What textbook did you use? Hopefully it's not your porn stash. Considering she's your daughter, I won't be too surprised if she ended up as perverted as you (unless your wife's genes runs stronger, LOL).
Hi Lebdevsan, I installed Amatsutsumi from your download and tried to install the uncensored patch, but once I replaced the old event.cpz with the uncensored patch event.cpz the game crashes when Kokoro and Azuki are talking for the first time in the Cafe (right as it's meant to show a Chibi CG).
Any idea why this is happening? Any help is appreciated, thanks!
