I know トイレ is casual, but when do you use お手洗い? Because I will go into a restaurant or something and I'll normally say すみません、トイレはどこですか？so is お手洗い for at your job or school when you're talking to your boss or teacher? Because formal situations are different for me compared to Japan.

化粧室 I guess is only used in super formal, or specific situations, like at a department store or idk when talking to the emperor lol.

I'm applying for a IJLP, and I'm around mid to high N4 level, but know some N3 stuff. My program wants me to go for the JLPT 3 in December, but I don't start until September. So do you guys have any N3 resources so I can prepare myself for N3?

(Kind of freaking out 😅)

I want to watch some shows to help me learn Japanese, I'm not huge on anime apart from studio Ghibli and Nana. I'm a girly girl, so if y'all have some cute YouTube recommendations as well, that would be great! I just want to watch some things to immerse myself a bit more.

(Idk why I got down voted, I promise I don't hate anime, I just don't particularly enjoy it as much as other things. I'm half Japanese and only really watch Ghibli bcs I watched it growing up)

Going to be moving there to study, so I will need a bike for Tokyo just to get around. The reason I want a folding bike is so I can take it on the local train when I go to my hometown in countryside Japan, where the bike rules are stricter. So it's really just to get around to bus/train stations whenever I can't be on public transport. Any recommendations for brands?

I also want to be able to take it on checked luggage on a plane, so I don't want it to be super heavy.

I thought if anyone knew it would be here. Does anyone know if you're allowed to take your bike on the Hapi Line Fukui? I'm hoping I'll be able to bring my bike from Sabae to Fukui city, but I'm unsure, and can't find any information online.

I want to apply for a bachelor of Commerce at Curtin, but I graduated 2025, can I still apply through TISC, or do I have to apply to Curtin directly?

I am also intending to defer for a year, so does that impact the application method?
