I am planning to expatriate to LA this year.
My wife ・ will be accompanying my children (3rd grade elementary school students), but I am concerned about their education and whether my wife will be able to adjust to the local environment.

・ 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. )

My parents are pilots and say they make 10 million yen a year, but they are always saying they have no money, no money.
I live in an apartment for about 300,000 yen a month, and honestly I think it would be cheaper to move home, which is very silly. I've lived here for about 10 years now, and if it's 300,000 yen a month, I thought, why not buy a house from the beginning?
The main question is whether 10 million yen a year is too much or not. Please.

This couple seems to be adjusting their income by saving the husband from his part-time pizza delivery job once the wife starts working full time.
I'm sure there are people out there who make a good living while on welfare. But this guy has been exposing all of that on video until now. No, it would be fine if they were earning their own money and living that way without relying on assistance. It's like he said he was going to live in a low income apartment for the rest of his life when he didn't. And then he makes the statement that he doesn't want to breathe the same air ！ as the people at Walmart.

If you give free medical care to such people, there will be more such people in Japan. There are already many foreigners of that kind. China, Korea, Philippines and others. In Japan, once you get that qualification, there seems to be no check in the middle of the process.
So many of them come to Japan only when they need to rewrite or something, and then live in their home country
and receive only benefits from Japan. Since they have no income in Japan
they are tax-exempt households. Of course, they automatically receive corona and other benefits.

The law is also unmanageable because it was made when the number of gaijin in Japan was still small.
It is sometimes discussed in the Diet, but the Japanese do not like to change laws and precedents, so
it has been a cheat. It would be better if the laws were amended or changed
in line with the current situation, as in the U.S.

There is a theory that the Japanese are trying to keep the welfare and medical budgets in the red in order to use it as an excuse to raise taxes.

On days when he is in a bad mood, his tone of voice differs from the moment he enters the store
He talks harshly to both employees and customers
When he wants his shift changed on a day he wants it changed, he gets in a bad mood for a while He is always complaining about other people's mistakes, but when it is his mistake, he tries to cover it up with a cute smile,

I don't want to quit because I like my job, but it's stressful to work for someone like this.
I don't think it's because I'm in America, but aren't there many women like this ？?

It sucks. Mean, self-protective, self-centered boss, expatriate from Japan is exactly like that. I still remember it.
Well, relatively speaking, Japanese expats are mean to local hires. When I bought something and couldn't fit it in and asked them to put it in like this. They scratched my car. I carefully carried my house so that it would not get scratched.

Regarding the registration of the license plate, I renewed it and put a sticker on it, but I lost the paper after I put it on.
Can I sell it to a dealer or private individual in this condition ？
Since I paid for it and it is registered in the data, can I do without it ？
Can anyone help me understand? I plan to have it reissued at the DMV if necessary.

I went to the AAA office on the 5th to renew my car insurance.
I named the name of the person in charge and waited and ended up waiting for 2 hours.

While I was waiting I was looking around the office
and noticed that some people were busy and others not so much.

I thought that since they didn't work in the commissary,
they should just turn them over to other employees in the same department.

I am looking for a bank that I can use online even after I return to Japan.
・ You can Wire Transfer to Japan online.
・ You can register your Japanese mobile number as the mobile number to receive a code for identity verification by text message. You can also choose to have the code sent to your email address.

For now, these two things are OK, but the latter is not OK for my Bank of America, and the former is not OK for Capital One.
If you know of any bank that can do these two things, I would appreciate it if you could let me know. Best regards.

They can instantly find out to which carrier a US phone number is assigned. And BOA says
Supported Carriers include: Alltel, AT&T, Cellular One, T-Mobile, Virgin Mobile, U.S. Cellular ® , Verizon Wireless. so they are saying that Nextpulus is no good. By the way, google fi as I mentioned earlier is an MVNO of T-Mobile, so it is OK.
I used to have a Citi account, but when I stopped using it for some reason, I was told to close it sooner than expected (about 2 years ？） "If you don't use it, I will close your account", and I made the mistake of leaving it alone at that time because it was too much trouble.

I opened a multi-currency account with Wise, connected to Chase and other accounts, and withdraw via ACH （ $ with a 50K/24h limit ）. I think it would be better to compare the two accounts, depending on the amount, wire may have lower fees, but wire also has fees on the US account side, so I think it would be a good idea to include that in the comparison. Identity verification can be done with a photo ID （ my number card, Japanese driver's license, passport, etc. ） at the time of opening an account, and can be done with the application. You can convert to yen at the real rate in real time, and you can keep up to 1,000,000 yen in USD or JPY in your Wise Account and use your debit card to make payments or ATM withdrawals, and you can keep your balance of over 1,000,000 yen for 30 days. > Wise is easy to use for me personally because I can transfer up to 1,000,000 yen at a time ） with no limit on the number of times I can transfer.

If you want to wire directly from your US account to your Japanese account, why don't you inquire at USBank if it is possible to do so under your desired conditions? I still have an account with Union Bank → USBank, but I use wise as well as ↑ because of the complicated procedure for money transfer.

It took about 6 hours from shipping to arrival, so I thought they would definitely be melted, but I was surprised to find that they were still perfectly crispy. I was very satisfied with the price and it was cheaper than what I could buy at an Asian supermarket.
