  I find laundry a lot more difficult here than my home country. A big part of that is the summer months where the humidity makes it so much harder to get things dry. In Australia, our summers are so dry that oftentimes you can hang out laundry on the clothesline outside, come back in 15-20 minutes, and it's already bone dry. I miss that! Also, back home we have rubbish bins that get collected by a truck weekly or every two weeks depending on the type of rubbish it is. When I lived there, there were three main bins: regular trash, recyclables, and plant matter (e.g. garden clippings). Here I feel like the trash situation is a lot more strict, and having to walk it down to our designated trash collection area can be annoying. Certain chores we have here are "only in Japan" ones that I never had to deal with in my home country, like snow-related ones!

  Also, you're not wrong about the dust, I feel like I never had to dust back home as much as I do here. I don't know if there's some kind of scientific explanation for it, but it sure is annoying!
