How many elderly people of Japanese descent are living in LA? We would be happy to be a place of rest and relaxation for the elderly who use the Koryu Hiroba. We think the eligibility is from 65 years old and up.

Once a week, there is a yoga class at the Multipurpose Senior Center, which is managed and operated by the City of LA.

In addition to yoga classes, there are painting and other hobby classes, and free lunch is available, but of course the taste is not good at all. I used to be the only Japanese person who went here before Corona, but back then there used to be 15 ~ 20 people there every time. Now there are at most 8. I was almost the only man. The members who used to come before Corona no longer come. Some of them were over 90 years old at that time, but I think they are no longer in this world.

Today, after a long time since Corona, my wife and I went up to the mountains or hills or highlands to the north of our house.

The area around there is called O'Melveny ・ Park, a series of bald hills that get higher as you go north. If you take State Highway 5 north of here, you will see

Six ・ Flags ・ Magic ・ Mountain

I took another LA Fitness Senior class today.

Today's teacher played 50's ~ 70's hit songs for the jibber-jabbering students, so it was easy for me to get on board. All the hit songs from when I was in middle ・ school and my own body movements match the music.

It's easy to ride, but I have a bad sense of rhythm, and it must look terrible from the outside. But at my age, I don't care how people see me. I'm going my own way. I don't care if it's good for my body. Sweat

Those of you who have crossed the ocean to come here to Los Angeles and Japan
are always concerned about something related to your travel between Los Angeles and Japan.

If you have anything to say or questions, please feel free to write.
I'll try to write "something" as well.

Example :
What means do you use to call when you return to Japan?

Which seat on the plane do you prefer, Aisle or Window, front, back,

Which airline do you think has the best food?

Which mode of transportation do you use to get to the local area?

and so on and so on

Thank you.

I have no plans to return to Japan for now. If I go to Japan, I can find books in Japanese, but not in English. I can't buy a lot of chapter books for early elementary school children because they don't read the same book over and over again, and moreover, what a task ? to bring them back to Japan and then bring them back to the US

Last time I brought 10 books and finished them in about 5 days. I was in trouble because I didn't have any more books to read. I feel like I've been away from English since I have zero English books left for the rest of my summer vacation.

Chapters,

> Is there any way to have the students read the books in order again

after they have finished reading them in about 5 days and have no more books to read?

If they have run out of textbook books, maybe give them an English magazine or other English books or magazines that have nothing to do with education.

If you run out of English sources completely, you can "give up".

Children will find something they are interested in even if their parents don't give them anything.

If parents take care of everything, children will grow up without pioneering spirit.

This YouTube is 2 hours and 37 minutes long in total, so if you don't have time, please watch it several times.

I divided this whole course ( of 88 places in Shikoku ) into about 1/4 of a course and went to Shikoku once a year each time I went back to Japan.

So, in total, I have visited Shikoku 8 times ( for 8 years ).

The person posting that post is mistaken about the USPS people using taxpayer money for something that is not FEDERAL EMPLOYEE, and maybe Amazon delivers to 7-11

box will not accept it. I don't think I'd accept it in a Box. BTW, UPS/FEDEX should not deliver to USPS PO boxes either.

New legal developments, GC, and citizenship

Free talk

  • GC

  • 2025/12/19 16:16

Regarding the information on the information board about GC retention and maintenance, I thought this was a predictable development. I have been in the US for over 40 years, but I am still a GC holder (non-renewal every 10 years 🙂 ). I just looked at the information on the citizenship test on the immigration web site, and it seems that the 65+ test is an easy one that can be taken without any study, so I thought it might be a good idea to get citizenship now if I am prepared for the test to become more difficult in the future.

Regardless of the type of GC, many people in their 50s and 60s are planning to return to Japan permanently after retirement, but the laws may change once the Trump administration is over, and if you are already retired in the US, it may be better to get citizenship. If you are already a retiree in the U.S., it may be better for you to become a citizen. I would be glad if you could share your opinion on these considerations, for example, I would keep my GC for these reasons, I would keep my citizenship, and so on.
Please do so.

It has been 40+ years. I wonder if the immigration officer at the
airport will have any distrust if the photo on the
card is different from the person in front of him who submitted it, even though it is a great thing that does not need to be renewed.

I'm afraid I've lost the purpose of the response and the post.
As for the GC with no renewal, it is legal. You can check it on the Immigration website. So I have never had a problem with custom to enter from overseas including to/from Japan.

Double Kim Man, 70+, I agree with the part about the benefits of citizenship. A long time ago, citizenship was not a benefit and I was not particularly interested in it because I am not rich enough to vote, jury duty, and taxes at the multi-million level, but I honestly feel that the Trump administration's mandates regarding GC retention are a hassle ↪Lo_V162↩(sweat).

An "unexpired green card" is an older type of U.S. Permanent Resident Card issued before about 1989 ( I-551 ) that does not list an expiration date and is still valid in principle, but is highly recommended by the Citizenship and Immigration Services
USCIS ) to be updated with a
Form I-90 due to inconvenience in traveling and using certain services ( such as Global Entry Due to inconvenience when using Form I-90, it is strongly recommended by the USCIS ( USCIS ) that you update your card to the latest version with Form I-90.
If you do not update your card, you run the risk of longer identification times at the airport, card reading errors, and you may also need a Re-entry Permit ( Re-entry Permit ) for long-term stays abroad.

Are the passport photo and the 40+ year old Grin Card photo the same photo?

・ I'm not sure I understand the thinking behind the figure that often sees Prius being bought and sold = lower popularity

.
Prius is not a rare car, and there are quite a few on the road everywhere.
If the population is large, they are more likely to be seen in the market...? Buying and selling has been common for a long time and I don't think it will change now.

It is popular in the used car market because of the large number of units sold. As long as the hybrid battery is OK, you can save money on gasoline and maintenance costs. You can change the transmission oil and do it yourself without changing the filter. The problem is that the generator replacement costs about $6,000 and the hybrid battery replacement costs several thousand dollars, but if you replace the battery yourself, it will only cost a little over $2,000. I can sell it for more than any other car. I guess that means I can sell it for more than other cars, so I'll get my balls out of it.

The current administration has instituted a fine of $ 1000 per day for illegal aliens. If you are arrested by ICE and deported, this fine plus a semi-permanent ban from entering the US will be imposed. However, if you voluntarily return to your home country through the CBP ONE app, the fine will be waived and you will be provided with a free airline ticket. There is also a possibility that you may be allowed to enter the U.S. in the future. For more information, please visit DHS.gov.

I am going to Las Vegas for the first time in about 10 years.

I'm freaking out that parking is now charged. I used to buy the 24 hour buffet all-you-can-eat and eat all the seafood etc. that I love. ?

I'm thinking about what to do this time because I'm taking my kids and I hope they can enjoy it, but I feel like I can't go anywhere if parking costs $ 20 or so every time.

I would like to go to Coca-Cola, M&M and other stores that are fun to look at, as well as the interior of each hotel, the fountains and the pirate show. I am worried.

I would like to have fun with my kids and family, no drinking or gambling.

If you stay at an MGM Group hotel, you can come and go free of charge with your room key at any of the Group's hotels as long as you pay the parking fee at the hotel where you are staying.
It is free until midnight on the day you check out.
No matter where you eat, it is expensive.
I think you should just decide on a good restaurant and head there.
