Agoda
An asian online hotel booking service which seems to have ties with booking.com. What led me to leave was after I had an unfortunate experience with an hotel in Hiroshima (details in other post), when I made a honest review, it was “shadow blocked”, meaning the public could not see, only the user who posted…

広島駅前ユニバーサルホテル新幹線口右/Hiroshima Ekimae Universal Hotel Shinkansenguchimigi
It is already 2025, however some places, specially in countries such as Japan, still live in Stone Age. I passed by an embarrassing situation in this hotel, they had 0 knowledge about handicap support, even if in some places in Hiroshima such as train and shiyakusho they knew about the card hanging from my neck…

札幌市のファイバーゲートインターネット（FGBB）/Sapporo’s Fibergate Internet (FGBB)
It is highly unstable, and drops a lot. It is pretty inconvenient having to login everytime you do not use the internet for a while either. They claim which you pay only a 3000 entrance fee and can use the internet for free while you live in a FGBB supplied building, however think a bit,…

Greenfort横浜桜木町/Yokohama’s Greenfort Sakuragichou
I had a problem with sexual harassment here by an old tenant which had some skill with cooking and in the past worked for great restaurants. He was usually drunk, and at least once I heard him bringing a woman to his room. Once he kept slamming the building front door because since he was…

YDCのレジデンスリバーストーン/YDC’s Residence Riverstone
Offered by the not so good Yokohama Design College. The only benefit of the place was being to the side of the school. When I came into a student dormitory to live with 2 other girls, the place was dark, old and specially in my room, there was a wall fissure by which cold air…

広島ウェンディ京橋川/Hiroshima’s Wendy Kyoubashigawa
It is one of the student dormitories for Hiroshima YMCA language school, but unlike Puthipa Ooshiba(details in other post), it was noisy, dark and dirty. What really made me lose it was a rat problem however, even nowadays when I hear faint noises in an apartment, I already think if it is not a rat.…

広島プティパ大芝/Hiroshima’s Puthipa Ooshiba
Another student condominium offered by Hiroshima YMCA. Not bad, but there were points of concern when the winter came, such as the heating water coming out white, the washing machine becoming frozen (as it is outside) and cold air entering from multiple spots. On the plus side, it is silent, close to a park, supermarkets…

Unilifeについての裏面/The truth about Unilife
It was recommended by one of my schools as a real state agency. It turned out which not only their prices were high, but the service quality was poor. When I arrived in my new apartment, “prepared by Unilife so you do not have to worry a thing”, the main lamp burned out and I…

アワーズイン阪急ホテル/Ours INN Hankyuu Hotel
I will write later. 後に書きます。 I was “recommended” doing arubaito in the aforementioned hotel, as a cleaning staff, by my first Japanese school in Yokohama, which I will talk more about in other post. To make it short, it was a traumatic experience, and that among other things led me to return to Brazil and…
