I am a recent immigrant to the US.
I posted here because I had some questions.
Thank you very much.

I went to HOME DEPOT to buy what is called "petit petit sheet" in Japan and "bubble wrap" in the US
.

I found two kinds of petit petit wrap there,

① 3.93ft × 5.90ft(120cm × 120cm)

② 12'' × 100'


① have centimeter notation and are easy to understand, but

② have only this notation, with two commas on the 12 and one on the 100.
Sorry, I just came from Japan and this kind of notation is still new to me.

How many centimeters is this in centimeters × How many centimeters does this mean ？

Please let me know if you know.
Thank you very much.

The topic for the elderly is gone, so I created it again.

I am a late senior citizen and have been participating in this vivinavi since

2014 when Mr. Cobalt was the broadest member, but there seem to be many elderly people here

and I hope to have a blooming conversation about health and any topic of retirement life.

I recently bought a new desk top PC for myself.

Dell's renewed product with 500G SSD and 16G RAM is 140 $. SSD is still fast and good.
I think it's a different world when I consider that my first Window was 3.1 and it cost me 3000 $ including the monitor.
I don't play games, so the performance is more than enough for elderly people.

At what age do you start calling someone elderly ？

I looked it up and it seems that the term started being used in the 1950s.
At that time, the average life expectancy was about 65 years old, and people who passed that age were called elderly.

That is still the case today, so 65 years old senior citizen is still used, but it is a bit off.
The way the above was decided （ the age beyond the average life expectancy ） I think that nowadays, 80 and over are considered elderly.

Elderly people still have to feel like they're getting weaker. （ lol ）

I am going to LA Fitness again today.

I have Senior Fitness classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays.


I guess it's officially "Autumn" since the calendar says Autumn Begins in today's box.

However, there is nothing that feels like "autumn" here. It was over 100℉ just the other day.


Still, we have a Canadian Maple Tree, and its leaves change color with the cooler weather.

Zip code 100-9999

2505 Ohama, Kagura, Kanagawa － 1

Hanako Suzuki


The above is a fictitious address, but I need to write my parents' address in Japan for business here in America
. For example, is the following correct for this address ？


HANAKO SUZUKI

2505 － 1 OHAMA

KAGURA, KANAGAWA, JAPAN


Is this correct ？

Ohama ＝ Ohama ＝ OHAMA, can I use one O instead of two ？

Also, is it necessary to write the prefecture or city ？

If so, would it be "KANAGAWA-KEN" or "KAGURA-SHI" in romaji ？

or would it be "KAGURA-CITY"? KAGURA-CITY" ？

Anyway, it is all right if the mail is delivered, but I don't know how to express it, so please tell me.
Please do.

It doesn't matter either way.

The alphabetical notation is only included because it is required by the USPS here, and

the post office only reads the Japanese notation when it arrives in Japan.

I put "Ken" for "Prefecture" and "Shi" or "City" or whatever

I choose according to the atmosphere of the time. No, I put "Shi" because it is written in Roman alphabet.

If you put a translation app on your phone and write in Japanese with it and show the English translation.

Why don't you just have the person write back in English and translate it into Japanese? The Japanese community is small, so there may not be much demand for it.

But if they can't speak English,
why don't they use banks that speak Japanese?

We have Oath scheduled for this month for both of our spouses and plan to apply for passports immediately afterwards.
We would like to apply for passports for our children （ ages 12 and 14 ） but of course they do not have proof of naturalization, so we will be using the parents' naturalization certificates that came back from their passport applications.
Arrangements are in progress for ordering and translating the family register.
All family members cannot apply for passports at the same time ？
Please advise me if you have any experience applying for passports after naturalization.
