I still have my certificate of residence in Japan, is there any problem if I leave it as it is ? My child's resident registration is also still the same. If anyone has any experience with this, please advise.

> Going by my example, until you obtain U.S. citizenship, in other words, you should have to be registered somewhere in Japan while you are a Japanese citizen.

In other words, Mr. Baiman came to the U.S. in the 1960s and kept his Japanese resident registration until he obtained U.S. citizenship.

> However, I do not know if he has to pay resident tax even if he does not currently live there.

Why don't you know? How is it possible that you don't know, and what did you do with your own resident tax until you came to the U.S. in the 1960s and obtained U.S. citizenship?

There seems to be a problem that even foreign residents have to register as residents to receive high-cost medical care under Japanese health insurance.

( From July 9, 2012 ( effective date ), foreign residents ( staying in Japan for more than 3 months or longer ) are also subject to the Basic Resident Registration System )

The resident registration is for people residing in the area . Those who have moved to other areas or foreign countries must originally submit a notification of moving out.

Advantages are: ( You can join National Health Insurance ) and pay insurance based on your income in Japan .  You can receive a my number card ( You can open a bank account ).

Disadvantage is that if you have income in Japan, you will have to pay Japanese tax on it. Inheritance procedures are complicated.

↑ Even if you report your residency, you can't use the insurance if you haven't paid the premiums. Therefore, the problem is just identity theft or other fraud.

# What I wrote about being insured in 11 is, of course, that you can receive treatment and examinations with Japanese insurance when you return to Japan.

Although Japanese health insurance cannot be used at medical institutions in the U.S., you can get a refund of the amount you paid by yourself if you file a claim with the Japanese insurance organization. However, since the refund is calculated based on the Japanese medical cost standard, only a portion of the amount paid will be refunded.

・ Education while in Japan ・ Sharing concerns about childcare and effective ways to resolve them
・ Introducing communities for childcare

etc. This topic is for people who are in the same situation and can talk freely. We are looking forward to your comments and suggestions.

Since there are many Japanese people in LA as a whole, not only expatriates, it is easy to find a community ( and friends ) through BibiNavi, which lists many Japanese-affiliated schools.
In some areas, there are many Japanese children in the local schools, so you can find many Japanese mothers and friends. !
Depending on the school district, there are many students from various backgrounds, not only Japanese, so the schools also offer various support services such as ESL.

Hello. I understand your feelings very much.
I was gathering information by actively exchanging contact information with Japanese people I met.
I would like to know if there are any parenting communities … I have the impression that everyone seems to have their own groups ( at work, elementary school, apartment, or in their own lessons ) but I am not aware of any large communities.

However, we would like to get some information before coming to the US. If you write specific questions or concerns, such as "My workplace is going to be in this area, but in this neighborhood, which elementary school district is best to live in ? etc., a kind person may reply to you, as you have replied in ↑.
(Although it might be easier for everyone to answer if you direct … to the email address or something. )

Harassment in the Workplace

When I submitted a Formal Complaint for harassment at work, the treatment got worse.
They made a PIP^(Performance Improvement Plan ) and they listed all kinds of unreasonable things.
One of them is that I used to wait at work for an hour or two after work until the traffic calmed down before leaving, but now I'm being told to leave as soon as I finish work. I'm not applying for overtime pay, and if I have any work left to do, I just do it while I'm waiting. I understand that HR is the enemy.
What is the best place to get help with retaliation at work ??

Not good. Showa-era Ototto lamented that everyone was not making enough effort to understand his opinions. I am really sorry. It seems that the only way to eliminate misunderstandings is to directly ask Ototsan himself. The fairest way is to give Ototsan himself a chance to explain himself. It is worthwhile to continue the exchange as if it were an exchange square.

When turning left from the longitudinal line direction of a T-intersection into the transverse line of a T-intersection (straight ahead direction ? ). If you pause before turning left and see a pedestrian in the crosswalk ahead of the left turn.

Is the correct place to wait, the pause line before turning left
or before the crosswalk after turning left ?

Sorry to be so basic, but please tell me. I am planning to get my driver's license.

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying, but
whether it's a T-junction or a cross street, if you want to turn left and a pedestrian is about to cross the crosswalk, it's not normal to wait and not start turning left ?
even if you're turning right, if there is a pedestrian, you don't turn and wait.

It is west of the street in front of the house, not one block east.
One block west leads north-south
Turn right or left, but drive one or two blocks to connect to the busy main street.

The T-junction is downhill toward the south, so it would be dangerous without a
stop sign when entering north-south.
Drive safely.

Child sick, working mother ・ How is the father doing ??

Question. Working mothers ・ What do fathers do when their children are absent from school due to illness ?

Do you have a sitter or other service ? For example, if you suddenly find out your child is sick on the morning of school and need a sitter immediately, can you request a sitter on that day? ?

Also, what do you do when your child has a long break from school, such as spring break ・ summer break ・ Thanksgiving break ・ winter break ? Do you leave your child at a day care or summer camp? ?

I would like to work while my child is in school, but I am worried because I have no family or relatives to turn to when my child is sick.

Working mothers ・ I would appreciate any advice from fathers. Please do.

I don't work, so I don't have to worry if my child suddenly gets sick, but I think it is really hard for working families when a child is sick. Thanks to Corona, some people have been able to choose to work remotely, but I think it's tough to work while watching a sick child.

My friend said that she just needed to finish her work, so she would spend time with her child during the day and check on her health, and then work alone at night. He also said that his body was not up to the task. He said that he could take paid holidays, but that would mean less time off when he goes to Japan, so he prefers not to use it as much as possible.

Another friend said she can't take her work home with her, so she takes her vacation with pay. My family has no one to rely on and my work doesn't bring in that much income, so I am a full-time housewife. My friend has a solid career and said that staying at home is not an option. I kind of admire that. I think it's cool.

I know.

I had it done about 5 years ago at my accountant's place and received an additional tax letter for about $4000.
I went to the accountant with the letter and he told me not to pay it
He filed an amended return without paying any additional money and I got about $1000 back.
I remember buying cream puffs to thank him for the $1000 or so I got back.
