Rental bathroom light cracked and injured.

We currently live in a rented apartment.
Tonight, my daughter and husband were in the bathtub and while playing with a water gun, water hit the ceiling and a light that was installed directly above them broke and fell. Fortunately my daughter was not hurt, although she was hit on the arm, but my husband was injured in three places.
I should have been more careful …, but I was also angry that they didn't put a plastic cover on the light right above the bathtub where steam and water splashed ?. When I was a child, I used to play with water splashing on the ceiling, so I think there are inadequate safety measures in a place where people are naked and unprotected ? but I wonder if this is a Japanese feeling ?
Tomorrow, I'm going to tell the manager in a strong voice. I'm going to tell the manager tomorrow, but I'm assuming that there is no such thing as "water guns in the bathroom are taboo in America". ?
I have lived in the U.S. for only a short time, so I don't understand the common sense here. I am looking forward to your opinion.

I would like to know if there are any apps dedicated to room search, not room share or real estate.

Do you have a place like the above? I am looking for a place to teach table tennis.
I would like to do some coaching inexpensively, preferably around the West Side.
Thanks in advance.

Dual nationals Temporary return with corona disaster

If anyone has a dual nationality who has recently returned to Japan, please let me know.
Until now ( before Corona ) I did the following.

To purchase tickets, enter US passport information as an American
Show US passport at ticket counter ( Show Japanese passport if asked )
To enter Japan, show Japanese passport
< When returning to the US >
Show your US passport at the ticket counter
Show your Japanese passport when leaving Japan
Show your US passport when entering the US

But in the Corona Disaster, Americans need a visa.
So I have to do many procedures as a Japanese.
Is the following method sufficient?

To buy ticket, enter Japanese passport information as Japanese
Show Japanese passport at ticket counter
To enter Japan, show Japanese passport
< When coming back to US >
Show your US passport at the ticket counter ( ? Even though you purchased with a Japanese passport ? )
Show your Japanese passport when leaving Japan
Show your US passport when entering the US

If I am wrong, I would be very grateful if you could point it out.
I am trying to call the airline, but the waiting time is too long and I can't get through.
Thank you very much.

Green card holders with Japanese passport aliases

Question

I learned from reading on the internet that many people had the same experience.
When I went back to my hometown, I was instructed by JAL to purchase a ticket with Hanako YamadaSmith as my name on the ticket and passport. I have read that it is now possible to put a space between "Yamada" and "Smith". However, when returning to the U.S., the name on my green card, Hanako Smith, is different from my name on my green card, so I get an X at the immigration kiosk, which is a hassle. I was even sent to another room. It is not that I cannot enter the country, but it is depressing every time. I would like to know about the experiences of green card holders who have recently returned to their home countries. Is the situation still the same?

Prius converter was stolen.

The following topic was no longer available for writing, so we have started it up again.
https://losangeles.vivinavi.com/eb/index/-?topic_id=_widg_1a00f2dcc0a1bbf880f8a9dda39961c4fa92112005&show=all#_widg_1a00f2dcc0a1bbf880f8a9dda39961c4fa92112005

I was just about to start the engine of a car that was parked on the street when I heard an explosion and someone nearby ran to my car and said, "The converter is I think it's been stolen. It was stolen from my car last night !."

I thought I had seen a post like this on Vivinavi... So I read the past topics.
I was too shocked... The prices are the same, but it's the holiday season and many mechanics are closed... Crying
I've done a lot of research and it seems that there is some kind of anti-theft cover, but has anyone actually worn or had one installed?
I asked because it would be very painful to have it stolen again even if I put it on newly, and I wanted to know if there is any countermeasure.
In addition, the garage only has space for two cars, and with three cars, one of them will inevitably be parked on the street.

No matter how long it takes...

Problem / Need advice

I wonder if anyone else has the same problem... I thought I would start a topic.

I have been coming to the US for about 20 years.
I did not come here because I wanted to, but because of my partner's situation.
Everyone has different reasons for coming to the U.S., and they may have different reasons, such as study, work, pursuing a dream, etc.
I think it is more like a dream. I didn't come to the U.S. with a positive attitude, and I still suffer from stress and anxiety and think about Japan.
Since I have spent every day in such a negative way, my English has not improved because I keep running away from it, and I continue to have a strange feeling of discomfort, as if I have missed the opportunity to get used to a very normal daily life.

Is there anyone else in my situation?
