Winter in Yamagata

Before moving to Yamagata most of us already know that insulation doesn't exist in Japanese houses. Still, come November, you'll be very surprised at how cold it can get *in* your apartment! Ever had condensed water freeze on the inside of your bathroom window? No? Well, that's something to look for, isn't it!

Winter in Yamagata will hit most of us hard - also on the financial side. So here are some tips about how to be ready and survive it.

For more financials and driving in Yamagata, see related pages.

## **It can get expensive!**

Let's be honest - after you arrived in Yamagata and started your new job (that pays really well) you might get used to eating out quite a lot, checking out that bar across the street, travelling with your new friends and go bouldering or join a Yoga class.

But once the cold hits, your gas and electricity bills will probably be much higher than you've been used to in the first months of your new life as a Yamagata JET. You'll want to wash your hands and face with warm water, run that bath a couple of times in the week to fight the cold, and install a space heater or kotatsu (a low table with a heat source underneath and a blanket which covers your legs and keeps the space under the table nice and warm). And that's something you *should* be doing to keep warm. But there are a few things that will help you to save money! Here’s what you can do:

* **Think ahead!** Save money in the summer months to pay for the kerosene and the higher gas and electricity bills in the winter.
* **Wash your clothes more often** (thanks to the top loader in Japan you can adjust the water quantity), but in smaller batches. That way you can let them dry even in a small apartment on a clothes line inside your living room or bedroom. The heater is already on, right?
* Use the dry winter air and a sunny day to **dry your clothes on the balcony**. Yes, it works!
* **Joined the gym in the summer?** Great! You won’t find a bathroom that is warmer than the one in your gym during the cold months (they’re even equipped with free shampoo and shower lotion, and even a sauna, AND you can dry your hair there and brush your teeth without freezing.). On the plus side: going to the gym for a shower will help you working out on a regular basis.
* **Get out of the house.** Go to the library or to the mall to read or study Japanese and give your space heater a break. Or go out on a walk!
* **Invest in (simple) insulation.** You can find extra plastic “winter curtains” for 1.000-2.000 Yen. Add a polystyrene board and keep the draft air out of your room that way. You can’t really do more than that as long as the walls and windows aren’t insulated.
* And of course: **wear layers**.

## Advice from current and former JETs

 This table contains advice from your JET sempais about how to get through winter.
Julia's mom

**Julia's mom** is the mother of Julia, as seen in season 3, where she makes her second appearance (Julia's mother). For furthermore detail, her first appearance was seen in the end of the episode *Tomorrow Never Knows*. Only a shadow of her was seen through the second floor's window - Julia was showing her a garment that the Beat Bugs used as a boat to use on the river. She, Julia's mom, has never yet made a full appearance; only her legs and feet, along with her shadow has been shown.
Bulldog

**Bulldog** loses Betsy and is deceived by Walter in Got to Get You Into My Life.

He is the eponymous character of Hey Bulldog which shows when the Beat Bugs first meet him and Crick invents the Crickterpreter to allow him to speak in words they understand.

The bugs already know him and he already has the crickterpreter in GtGYIML even though that is an earlier-numbered episode. talk2ty 12:25, June 20, 2018 (UTC)

Alderpaw’s face heated up and his muscles tensed beneath his dark pelt

 *"He's really cute, and easy to fluster. The way he looks at me is just, damn. Heh-.. I really like him and Alder.."*
 *"I-i d-don't know if s-she likes me, b-but she s-sure acts l-like t-that. She s-said i w-was c-cute! Sh-she's a-also p-pretty ho- i-i m-mean p-p-pretty-*

-Snakepaw chuckles lightly, thinking of her.

"Snakepaw, baby~ Hush. You're much more attractive when you're quiet."

"I don't see how my lifestyle concerns her, from where I'm standing she just sounds jealous that I can get anyone I want and she can't get anyone with her foul attitude."

"If you ever wanna get down n' dirty.. Just give me a sign, cutie~"

"When you've lost everything that gave you meaning, you have nothing to lose by being comfortable and confident in your own pelt."

Will

## Some Stuff

I (Will) made MEPACES on the 1st August 2013 (6 Years!). It was then renamed Mepaces-Nebula (Been Active for 1 Year). I operate under the username "Mepaces4988" on Twitch and Discord. We also created a Discord Server with monthly Raid Drills of what to do in the event of a server raid. You can also apply for staff through the form in the server at #staff\_applications. Everything on this page is written by me from my POV.

Goodbye then!

- Will J M

## Inside Mepaces-Nebula

I started the "MEPACES" channel in August 2013 but before this I had a channel (still exists, discontinued) called "meerkatgaming" (I am not showing this) which was created a month before MEPACES (July 2013). I uploaded some random videos like me playing Purble Place or Spider Solitare on Windows Vista.

A few years down the line I just made some pretty low quality videos like "How To Spawn Herobrine in TU17" (cringe in a nutshell) and videos filmed from a (now sadly broken) white Samsung tablet. In around January 2018 my account was terminated because I wanted to see what would happen if I set my age to "10 Years Old" (I'm just that stupid). I was FUMING but I eventually started my currently active YouTube channel "Mepaces Will // Will's Music".

Somebody else I know who is part of the team thought of the idea of "Nebula" so I put the two words (even though Mepaces isn't an actual word) together to make Mepaces-Nebula. Click! I also film Urban Exploring (Urbex) videos with some of my other team and I also opened a Discord Server and have a Twitch account I regularly stream on. I've also created videos alongside NeoHD (Gaming, Urbex and Random Videos), Alex & Jason (Urbex).

In March 2020 I became interested in 'chopped and screwed' music and began to post this on the channel. In December 2020 I began to cover songs again and in January 2021 I started to post these on my channel. I also unlisted a lot of videos from when I was about 10/11/12.

* Urbex (Will be continued after lockdown)

MEPACES

***THIS PAGE IS NO LONGER BEING UPDATED AS OF AUGUST 2018 (CREATION OF MEPACES-NEBULA)***

## The Creation

MEPACES was founded on the 1st of August 2013 and was active from 2013 - 2018 when it was rebranded as Mepaces-Nebula. Its name came from when I (Will) tried to copy the name "MREPICADZ" but copied it and memorised it wrong and typed "MEPACES" and everything grew from there.

> "I was trying to copy my brother's channel MREPICADZ but I copied it as MEPACES by accident and it all grew from there!" - Will J M, Head of Mepaces-Nebula
>
>

MEPACES was then rebranded as Mepaces-Nebula in August 2018. On the 1st August 2018 (5 Years of MEPACES) the final logo for MEPACES was created.

The main Characters

The main characters include Kumi, Jay, Walter, Buzz, and Crick. Below is a set of info for each character.

## The Main Characters

### Kumi

Kumi is a ladybug who is shown to have interest in kung-fu (ninjas). She lives in a house very much like a house her interests would live in. In the episode Come Together, it is shown that her house is the most entertaining of all of the Beat Bugs' houses.

### Jay

Jay is the deuteragonist. In the episode, Mr. Moonlight, his first name is revealed; Jeronimo Jay. He is a curious 12-year-old beetle who takes interest in skateboarding, as shown in the episode Birthday — he swaps presents with Crick for the skateboard that Crick received.

### Walter

Walter is a 14-year-old blue slug who likes to sing. It is also revealed that he enjoys eating. Sometimes, he doesn't get along well with the other Beat Bugs, but the five all sort it out at the end of each episode. Otherwise, Walter is very emotional but always happy.

### Buzz

Buzz is a 6-year-old fly. Out of the five Beat Bugs, she is the only one who has wings that allow her to fly. She is also shown to enjoy baking — especially with Granny Bee. She loves to be Walter's assistant and likes to hang out with her friends.

### Crick

Crick is an inventor who makes machines from trash and recycled objects that the giants (the humans that live in the big house) throw out. He usually makes predictions and writes them down in his notebook, as shown in the episode Please Mr. Postman and many others.

Psychology/Mental Health

One easily overlooked aspect of an JET ALT/CIR/SEA's life is the mental health. The vast majority of people in the world will experience some sort of mental disorder at some point in their life. This section aims to address the different ways one can go about coping with stress as well as serve as a tool for improving one's mental health. Of course please keep in mind that showing symptoms/signs does not necessarily mean that you have a disorder. **If these signs are intrusive and obstructive to your daily life and if they persist consistently over the course of few-to-several months, please seek out professional and/or non-professional help.**

Very simply, the most common types of mental health issues among JET participants are anxiety (social, work-induced, General Anxiety Disorder, specific anxiety, etc.) and depression (Depression disorder, Major Depression Disorder, Seasonal Affectiveness Disorder, etc.). Much of the time, these kinds of things come in groups (ie. Depression and Anxiety) and things may overlap but so can the solutions. As underlined above, just feeling a sense of anxiety, sadness/depression, etc. does not necessarily mean you have a disorder, but please seek help if it is impacting your daily life in an obstructive fashion consistently over several months. It is also very normal (rather it's more concerning if you feel nothing at all) to have these kinds of feelings.

**Mental Issues/Disorders**

 Meditation
 Talk with a friend
 Separate yourself
 Anticipation and Prevention
 Depression
 Getting out of the house/apartment
 Talk

\*These are the psychiatric definitions for the disorders. If you are finding yourself with a couple of the symptoms or you have a sense of what anxiety/depression/etc. feel like, the "Methods" section still can help.

**Mental Health Support Resources**

"The JET Mental Health Counselling Assistance Programme provides a partial subsidy (50%, up to 20,000 yen per year) for counselling costs incurred through consultation with mental health professionals in Japan not covered by health insurance. The coverage period for this year is 1 April 2017 to 31 March 2018. Please submit your application form for the subsidy through your contracting organization by 13 April 2018.

CLAIR also offers a free online service to provide JET participants with mental health assistance from professional counsellors using Web Mail and Skype. Please ask your contracting organisation for further information." (CLAIR newsletter)

Regional Advisor

The JET system in Yamagata Prefecture is separated into four regions: Okitama, Murayama, Saihoku and Shonai. Each of these regions has at least one Regional Advisor (RA) who assists JETs in their region with daily life.

## Role of RAs

RAs are JETs who have taken on the role to support and assist incoming, new and veteran JETs during their lives in Yamagata, such as recommending places to buy furniture or good restaurants, or helping JETs figure out home appliances and make bill payments. RAs also work closely with Prefectural Advisors to ensure any larger issues are tackled before they escalate, assist with training and orientation events, and help with outreach and support.

RAs also work to foster a community amongst JETs in their region, by planning local RA events, and provide a listening ear for JETs who need someone to talk to. RAs are available for and happy to help JETs from all over the prefecture, so if you feel that you would prefer to speak to an RA of another region for any reason, don't hesitate to get in touch!

However, RAs are **not** trained or expected to give counselling of any kind. If you require mediation or consultation, are facing issues at work or a serious issue in your daily life that you feel you are unable to tackle by yourself, please contact a PA. If you require counselling, please get in touch with your Contracting Organisation or a PA for information on finding a counsellor.

## Your RA Team

Currently, there is one RA each for the Okitama, Saihoku and Shonai regions, and two for the Murayama region due to the high population.

Your RA team for the year 2018-2019 are:

**Okitama Region**

Megan Jones

**Murayama Region**
