The price of yakisoba, ramen and other fresh noodles has skyrocketed to an extraordinary level.
Compared to before, the price of dried noodles is at most 1.5 times higher, but the price of fresh noodles is almost 3 times higher.

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.

> This is the same kind of ceremony as the Hiroshima Peace Ceremony, for example.

Then why use the term "state funeral" if it's not a state funeral ?
Why not just call it the Abe ceremony? 💩

Summary of Former Prime Minister Abe's Merits and Demerits :
In the case of the highest power in a country, its merits and demerits given to the people
should be properly evaluated.

・ Mollycoddling and friend nepotism on a grand scale.
・ Falsification of official documents, serious public officials committing suicide, not serious
High-ranking bureaucrats giving false parliamentary answers and full retirement pay.
・ Falsifying statistics, falsifying official documents at will.
・ He makes a hundred or more false answers of his own.
・ Breaking the separation of powers, the main principle of democracy, and controlling the judiciary
Working to extend the retirement age of the stinking chief prosecutor.
・ Successfully covered up the rape case of his favorite reporter.
The subordinate who engineered it was promoted to Commissioner of Police.
・ Voter bribing for the Cherry Blossom Society and the LDP with taxpayer money.
・ Deep and long association with the Unification Church, breaking the principle of separation of church and state.
・ Conveniently changed the method of calculating GDP.
・ Drinking sake and having get-together parties at a ryotei restaurant in Akasaka during the torrential rain damage in western Japan.
・ Inducing the yen to weaken to raise various prices. Labor wages remain unchanged. 
・ The public is unanimous: Abenomics has completely mismanaged the economy into a prolonged recession.
・ The big trickle down lie. All the profits of big business are in their own pockets.
・ Social security is being reduced rapidly.
・ Two consumption tax hikes, not spent on social welfare as promised, but given back to big business.
・ Spending tens of billions of yen on inferior ( moldy garbage with mites ) distributing masks.
・ All the big name trips to sell nuclear power overseas failed, zero results.
・ Not one millimeter of Northern Territories returned.
Gave Putin 300 billion yen in taxpayer money to sow sesame seeds in return negotiations.
・ Not a single North Korean abductee recovered, empty bills galore.
・ Trump buys a large number of defective F35 fighter jets at an asking price in Japan-US talks.
Trump had them heavily discounted at home, saying they were "too expensive".
・ Amount of common people's blood money scattered as foreign aid money. Rich nations
20 billion yen in aid money given to Israel.
The total amount of expenses spent by Prime Minister Abe during his tenure, including "unnecessary outings to avoid answering to the Diet"
, exceeded 10 trillion yen.
This is only the total amount of actual expenses spent on the outings themselves, and
if the total amount of ODA and other aid payments and yen loans paid to various countries is added up,
it exceeds 65 trillion yen," he said.

・ The average stock price has risen ( and only those who own stocks will benefit from it.
60% of them are foreign institutional investors and large corporations, capitalists, and rich people )
The others ? ( Oy, someone bring my bug glasses )

The number of people Prime Minister Abe has made wealthier, happier, and the number of people he has made poorer, unhappy
which is the greater number of people he has made richer, happier, or poorer and unhappier?
