Uber Delivery is a service that allows you to, for example, go to the post office, pay for the postage and drop it off, or go to the library and check out a book.

I have been in LA for 2 years now, and the car I bought when I got there is now 2 years old, and I have driven it about 25,000 miles in 2 years, with 110,000 miles on it. I am thinking that I should do some maintenance like a Japanese car inspection. Do you know of any company that does inspections and maintenance like a Japanese car inspection?
I'm looking for an area around Torrance or Manhattan Beach. Thank you in advance.

I will be moving from LA to north Dallas this summer. I am posting this to see if anyone who knows anything can give me some advice.
We are moving with family using U hall, so it will be 2 nights 3 days or 3 nights 4 days.
We will be leaving LA around 10am and staying in Phoenix the first day. Basically, we plan to stay at motel 6 and not include sightseeing, but if you have any recommendations for restaurants along the way, I would appreciate it if you could let me know as well.
Thank you in advance.

From LA, it is better to leave in the morning when the sun is fully up, since the road goes east. The sunrise is quite dazzling. Motel 6 has a microwave oven in the room. Try not to eat too much dinner, etc. and take the rest home with you.  
If you pitch in early and swim in the pool, you will sleep well at night.  Snacks to pass the boredom should be well chewed. It will wake you up.  Japanese snacks are not easy to buy along the way, so bring extra.

A friend of my wife's stayed at a hotel on the way to move from California to Texas. A private U-Haul towed was stolen from the hotel parking lot while he was staying there
He said this is a common occurrence around Texas. Minimum security awareness such as security camera locations and handle locks may be necessary.

I have been with Tokio Marine Insurance, but I am looking for an insurance company because they are discontinuing personal insurance. My agent has referred me to three companies, Commerce West Insurance, Mapfre Insurance, and Mercury Insurance, but I am not sure who is better.

* Not an industry expert * but I am a member of AAA Insurance.

I've had a few bumps and bruises and have had no problems.

The AAA office near my house has a Japanese speaking agent, but his Japanese is terrible.

So I asked them to replace him with someone who speaks only English. Well, I had to ask a random person

because AAA doesn't allow you to choose who is in charge.

I chose an agent who could speak Japanese
for my health insurance, Medical Insurance, or something like that because I thought there would be no problem, but he seemed to be Japanese-American and I could not understand what he was saying
in Japanese at all. I had no choice but to switch to an English only agent and everything went smoothly.

I gave it to you even though I hadn't finished writing it. I'm sorry.

Why do you bother going through an agency? ? I think it is usually cheaper to submit your own quotes to each company.

In the event of an accident, an agency is useless, so I don't need one.

A local community center or senior center might be a good start. They may have volunteers and staff who speak Japanese. Searching the Internet is also a good way to find out more. A search for "Torrance Japanese social worker" should turn up several resources. You might also look for programs and support groups especially for seniors.

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.

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.
