Currently, it is mandatory to take a PCR test 72 hours prior to your flight when returning to Japan. You must also bring the results and a Certificate of Testing for COFID-1919 before departure.
Please let me know if you know of any medical facilities in the West LA area that can provide the test results immediately and certify the test in the format provided by the consulate.

Don't mind your own business. I heard that Mr. Baikin is wealthy, so $ he can afford to pay about 165.

I would like to take an antibody test.
I think we should test for antibodies in people who may be naturally infected and pass without symptoms.
It would save me from having to get a vaccine for nothing. Almost no one has had antibodies without any symptoms. You're free to uke all you want.

No, I had mumps-like symptoms recently.
I thought it might be just an inflammation ？ because of the tightness in my cheeks and under my ears, so I took my regular medicine propolis (extracted from bees) and went to bed, and it went away naturally. I also had a runny nose frequently. I heard that corona has various symptoms depending on the person, so I thought it might be 🤔.

Hello,

I would appreciate it if anyone knows anything about this.

I am in the process of obtaining a business license.
I see Business Name and DBA/Fictitious Name on the application form, but

I am not sure if they should be the same name or different.



Please help me.

Generally speaking, a fictitious/DBA/assumed business name is the one you use for operation, not necessarily the legal name you use on paper.
Therefore, to be considered a DBA name, it must differ from your company's registered legal name.

As you can see from this explanation, the business name you use for work （
Food Restaurant ） and so on is a Fictitious Name, and
if the restaurant is owned by an Inc, then
the Business Name
would be the company that owns the restaurant.

Has anyone used this company? ？
I am trying to buy something online in Japan and have it sent here for the first time
I am still having trouble understanding the process from purchase to shipping. I don't understand the process from purchase to shipping.
I'm not a good English speaker
so I don't understand what it says.

If you have used Buyee, I would appreciate it if you could tell me if it was good
or not ・ ・ ・ here.

I used to use it often.
I recently purchased from Japan again and am now waiting for it to arrive.

＊ They buy on behalf of me in the Japanese market
1st shipping

＊ Ship purchased items to the US
2nd shipping

Shipping method
FedEx , EMS , shipping etc. You can choose.

The advantage is that you don't have to ask your family or friends in Japan to buy on your behalf. They will respond to you rather quickly.
The disadvantage is that you have to pay more for shipping even though shipping is free or something in Japan.

I sometimes buy from here when I am asked by my American friends.

By the way, you can change to Japanese page ！ I think it is on the top right ….

I compared the same item purchased from Amazon with the same item purchased from Buyee, and the result was that Buyee's price was about $14 more. I would not recommend Buyee, which costs about $14 more to order a 3,000 yen item from Japan.

Amazon clearly states the delivery date when you place your order, but Buyee does not.
Because Buyee buys the goods in Japan on your behalf and you don't know
how many days it will take, you can't specify the date of delivery when you order.

Buyee charges 300 yen for the purchase on behalf of the buyer, and they also offer a
Standard Plan, which is like insurance ？ for the shipping, saying "now you can get this plan for 500 yen instead of 800 yen
！". The purchaser is tempted to add the
plan in case it is not delivered safely without it.

Then comes a notice saying, "You have successfully purchased the product on our behalf," from which
the buyer is given the option to choose ？ "How would you like it sent to the US?
That is not so cheap. It seems that due to Corona, regular mail is not available now, but FedEX or sea mail.
Shipping is too slow, FedEx is too expensive. FedEX is too expensive.

What is the advantage of using Buyee ？ ？ ？ ？
I thought there was none.

If you buy from Amazon, you can buy it yourself without having to get someone to buy it on your behalf, and the date you order
is also written on the date the item arrives. No extra Fee. No shipping charges
twice.

Amazon is cheaper and faster if the item is available on Amazon ！.

If a product is available on Amazon, Amazon is cheaper and faster ！

Amazon's proxy service is established to buy products that are not available on Amazon; no one would be stupid enough to use a proxy service for a product that can be purchased directly from Amazon without any need for it.

My co-workers and I would like to have an engagement party for a friend of ours. The time is early April and we are expecting about 12 to 15 people. All guests are co-workers in their 30's to 40's who work at the same place. We can do location only or hire a caterer and bartender. If anyone has a house or condo to rent out, please let me know. In terms of time, we are planning to have brunch, or cocktails, not too late. Thank you in advance.

Tax return for 2020 （ Return to Japan in September 2020 ）

Nice to meet you.
My husband was a researcher at a university on a J visa until Fall 2019 ～ Summer 2020.

Last year （ 2020 ） we filed our 2019 tax return （ Federal and State ） in the US,
how should we do for 2020 tax return?

Last year I received my W2 form in the mail from the university, but I have not received it this year as of now.
Should I contact the university?

Thank you very much.

If you are returning after 2 years on a J visa, you can file the same form as last year.

If you are a J visa holder for up to 2 years, you must file a 1040 － NR.

In addition, J visa holders who are researchers will usually receive a 1042 － S
form from the university instead of a W － 2 form. In any case, please check with the university and file the
last year's form.

He started texting with a Mexican ex-colleague of his at a Japanese food company, whom he had brought over from Japan, married, and started working at the moment he got his green card. He went out for dinner with his co-workers, and on the day he went out, he came home in the morning and I found out he was cheating on me. Although he did not admit it, he quickly started to live separately from me, hired a lawyer, and started divorce proceedings. It's sad, women are scary. Don't cheat on your wife.
