Sophia University: Can I apply to 2 departments at once?
So,
Is it possible to apply to both?
If yes, how?
When sending the documents by post to Sophia, do I send it in 2 separate envelopes (one for SPSF and one for Sophia) or just together in one envelope?
Would really really appreciate the help. Thanks!!
yeah you can only pick one department per application period on MyPage now, they changed it a couple years back. your friend prob applied in different rounds or used a loophole that's closed now
for the documents, one envelope is fine as long as you put both application packages inside with clear labels on each set. just make sure the address on the outer envelope says "Sophia University Admissions" and inside each bundle is clearly marked for SPSF or FLA. the post office at Yotsuya station will get it there quick if you're in Tokyo
The MyPage system only lets you submit one application per round now, but you could try applying to one department through general admission and the other through the AO or international entry if the deadlines line up differently. Your friend probably did it before they updated the system or used different entry types.
For the documents, send them in two separate envelopes inside one larger package. Write the department name on each inner envelope and put "Sophia University Admissions" on the outer one. The staff at Yotsuya are used to handling multiple applications, but keeping them separate makes it easier for everyone.
fwiw i think the separate envelopes thing is overthinking it a bit. just put both sets of documents in one envelope with a cover sheet listing what's inside for each department. the admissions staff at Yotsuya are used to sorting this stuff, they're not gonna mess it up
as for the MyPage thing, yeah it's one department now. but if you really wanna do both, you could try applying to one through the regular entry and the other through the AO or recommended entry if the deadlines are different. your friend might've done that without realizing it

Where can I find crispy, pan-fried bacon similar to a certain international style?
if u have a costco membership the kirkland thick cut is the move, 4 packs of 500g for around 2500 yen and it crisps up proper in a cold pan. for smaller runs, precce in azabudai hills & the basement at isetan shinjuku both carry imported US & danish brands in the chilled case, just read the label for "thick cut" or "smoked" and not "loin". also worth knowing japanese bacon is often wet-cured so pat it dry before frying or it steams instead of crisping
kaldi coffee farm is hit or miss but their smoked bacon from denmark shows up pretty regular, the 200g pack runs about 600 yen. what actually works better for me is asking the butcher counter at peacock or life to slice the block bacon thick, like 5mm, they do it for free and it crisps way better than the pre-packed stuff. also fwiw cheap bacon crisps faster, the fatty supermarket kind at 300 yen a pack works fine if u cook it from cold in a dry pan and pour off the fat as it renders.
tbh the gyomu super store brand bacon is surprisingly decent for crisping up, its not thick cut but if you cook it low and slow it gets pretty crunchy. the key is the dry cure vs wet cure thing, wet cure steams. also check hanamasa if you have one nearby, they sell big packs of american style bacon thats actually smoked and firm.
