I went to a place run by a single Japanese hairdresser.
I paid $300 for it, but every time I look in the mirror, I feel like crying. I don't want to go there anymore. Can I get a refund ？?

I am going to work in the US for the first time.
I'm part time, but
I asked the company if I could get an offer letter, and
they told me that we have never sent such a letter.
Is it standard for part time workers to not have an offer letter ？
Sorry for my ignorance, but is it dangerous to start working in this situation ？
I have filled out the W-4form and UPCIS.

You should inquire at a car dealer san that deals with car transportation.
In the meantime, you can bring the car you are sending to Japan and ask for advice and they can tell you more about it.

You don't think you can register anything in Japan ？
You can't register a vehicle in Japan unless it has passed Japanese emissions tests 2.0 L engine, 255 hp, Japanese L-size car No one can answer that question
unless you ask a Japanese company that can do that type of vehicle. You have to ask a Japanese company who can do that type of car.

Even if you kindly give them the information to send to Japan, if there is no way to register it in Japan, they will just spend money to take the oversize garbage to Japan
I wonder if they understand that, like number 5.

FedEx delays

Question
#1
  • FedEx

  • 2023/04/11 13:22

I had trusted FedEx, but
＊ in mid-February, a document sent from here to Tokyo by the fastest flight （ 2 days ） stopped in Anchorage, Alaska for a long time and was delivered a week late.
＊ Then a document from Tokyo, scheduled for delivery on March 10, was delivered on March 28. （ The condition of the envelope was black and stained on one side, and the printed FedEx letters
appeared to have been rubbed off somewhere to the point of being erased. ）

The reason seems to be weather, but （ I have not been able to get a clear explanation ）
It may be true that the cold February flights to Japan had no choice but to stop in Anchorage, but most flights from Japan in March were stuck in Memphis.

The flight to Japan in March was mostly stranded in Memphis. We happened to encounter this kind of situation twice, which made us feel uneasy about FedEx.
So I was wondering if this kind of thing happens more often than expected and would like to hear about your experiences.
I have been using this method of mailing with no problems at all, so I am very troubled.
Thank you very much.

Also, since I needed to send it back immediately, I asked for Kuroneko Yamato TA-Q-BIN, which does not offer a 2-day delivery service, but it was delivered safely within a week as scheduled.

I ordered a SONY TV from WALMART on the 12th and
next day free delivery saved me a morning delivery the next day.
best buy said they would do free delivery in 3 days.
But the TV remote control is so small nowadays that it looks like a toy.

Recently, my mother in Tokyo passed away at the age of 101. In the process of cleaning up after my mother, most of the stories that I recall fondly are from the Showa period.
International phone calls with high rates and staring at the three-minute meter.
The simple clothes for field trips that my mother made all night long after the war ended. Cooking with pea charcoal, charcoal briquettes, and charcoal in a 7-wheeler. And my mother was happy to have gas in the house. What made her happier was when we went from squeaking a well to running water. I remember boiling the bath in the wooden oval with coal. Now a single switch on the steeple panel will boil a bath at a specified temperature and quantity. In the shopping street, the owners of each store, such as the green grocer, fishmonger, butcher, confectioner, dry goods shop, etc., were all family owned.
So there was a little greeting, a little talking to each other, and I could feel a connection with them. Television was not yet widespread, and they used to show us wrestling shows in the school yard.
Soon after, there was a washing machine in there, and they bought a TV, and an electric refrigerator （ until then, it was cooled with ice ）,
My mother was getting more comfortable and maybe even a little fashionable.

Anyway, life got better.
There are many items in my mother's belongings that remind me of those days and I get very nostalgic.

I know that the world is changing at a much faster pace ） than it is today （ but I have the feeling that even people are becoming a part of the metal machine.

When I think of my mother, I realize how lucky I am to have lived in the Showa era, where there is a human touch.

Apparently in Buddhism there is reincarnation
but if you are reincarnated, the memory of your previous life doesn't seem to remain.
Sometimes they have memories of their previous life as infants, but
they disappear as they grow up.

Rather than Their Majesties the Empresses ceasing to exist on earth,
the Emperor's accession to the throne until his death will be in the current year, and
when the new Emperor comes to the throne, a new year will begin.

I understand how you feel, Topu.　Cheap → Something uneasy

Actually, I had a similar experience before.

2Bed Room , Kitchen ,Bath shared, only one female resident, location is safe, moreover, the rent was

furnished, $520.　I was skeptical and went to see the place. The woman who shared the room with me was not very sociable

and was in her 20s ～ and 30s. The house was well organized, and I left early, feeling ？ ？ oh, this is $500

I was suspicious.　A while later, I told my friend about it and told her about my suspicious impression, but she also said she needed to find a room as soon as possible, so I gave her the address.

Shortly thereafter, my friend moved into the house.

Afterwards, I asked my friend about it, and she told me that her ream mate was a very kind and sensible person.　My friend was my roommate for two and a half years before returning to Japan.

In my case, I went there, met her and talked to her, but I didn't believe her, and later I heard my friend's story.
I regretted what a waste of time and money it was.


But like ＃ 5, I think you should go there first and talk to them and judge for yourself.
