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 wrote about my experience with Wise in the topic ?, but no matter how many times I put it up, it is not published. I think it is not good from Vivinavi's point of view ?.
I'm not a Wise person, but 、、、、 (^ ^;)
Please DM me if you would like to know the details of your experience using Wise. I will send you what I was going to post.

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.

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.

Former PM Abe has established relationships with Russian PM Putin, Trump ・ Biden, and
other prime ministers and presidents around the world, among many others. I hope the perpetrators are cruelly executed.

The question is whether to get people to donate money to make a religion viable or to proselytize a religion in order to fleece them out of large sums of money. Aum Shinrikyo is a prime example.
A fraudulent business called religion that takes in weak-minded and afflicted people and swindles them out of large sums of money

I'm talking about a religion that rips off money and is not ashamed of being a Ten, but
is it committing the same crimes as Aum or poaching,
believers like you who have already deviated from common sense are the ones who are out of the question and off base

Let's exchange information and talk about your problems.
Basically, you can talk about anything, but be careful not to give out personal information.

It would be nice if the caregiver has a full time job or some other benet, but it's tough if you're not compensated on an hourly basis. It's all physical labor, like changing diapers. The company will screen clients because qualified people are favored by the company, the long-timers are bossy, and the rest get little or no raises, so you have to favor yourself in that way. In the end, people who are not capable of doing anything else rather than wanting to serve others end up staying long enough to find new recruits and get rid of their exasperation. In fact, I don't think qualified people who want to serve others would work for a Japanese agent.

Surprisingly, it wasn't physical labor.
As someone wrote earlier, I sat down when there was nothing I could do to help. Changing diapers doesn't take much strength. I liked taking care of them too, but I still didn't like the other messes.

I see ? there is a difference between those who do nothing and those who do a lot. I was doing laundry, vacuuming, cooking, polishing the microwave, etc. because no one else was doing it. We were a couple. But the person who came later who had a nursing license talked with the husband all the time and made the house dirty, but I think they relied on me because I had a nursing license. The client was the wife, though.
So I stopped working for the same client
.
On the other hand, there was a care giver who took care of a client with a bad leg by giving her exercises to prevent her leg from weakening. Since no one is watching, there is not a proper standard. The rest is whether the client likes it or not. But on the other hand, I refused to work with clients who needed diaper changes and men, but they still insisted, saying it was easy. But in the end, it was a lot of work.

I did laundry, cooking, cleaning, bathing, exercising, and other things as normal.
But I didn't do the family stuff, just the clients, so it wasn't a hard amount to do at all, and I had plenty of time to do it, and I felt like I had a lot of free time.
Changing diapers was easy, and we also accepted male clients. I liked taking care of people who used wheelchairs, etc. more than those who had no physical disabilities, and I was happy to be helpful. I am sure it was a good fit, and maybe it was a good fit for someone like me.

No matter what profession you are in, even if you are doing the same job, there are those who can handle it well and those who can't, those who choose the job description and those who don't, and those who can move flexibly and those who can't. In the case of dispatched or home-visit caregivers, there is no supervisor, and the work is handled immediately on site, so it is likely that differences in individual abilities will emerge.
