Hello, I have lived in CA for over 20 years and I thought CA was a great place to live, the climate is wonderful and there are a lot of Asians.　There have been many policies that I don't agree with, but now they are so far to the left that I find them unacceptable, especially in the area of anti-Corona measures and schooling
I am so tired of living in this state that I don't even care about the climate anymore.
In terms of politics, I can't speak loudly enough about conservative views, and many Japanese people don't agree with me at all in terms of corona measures
We have become estranged since the corona disaster.　I have met many Americans who share similar values, but I have not met any Japanese who share the same opinions, and I would
like to make your acquaintance if you feel the same way. If you have different values, please do me a favor and don't come through.　Thank you in advance.

There are many people who have acquired U.S. citizenship but illegally hold a Japanese passport
and eventually return to Japan permanently
claiming dual citizenship, living in the U.S. but oriented toward Japan.

Please tell me
if you know how to enter Los Angeles with a dog.

When I arrive at LAX airport, I first go through immigration
pick up my luggage, go to customs and declare that I have a dog
and present my documents etc. ？
I am not a permanent resident, but will be coming to the US on an F1 visa.
I would like to know if you can help me.

Yes, a long time ago, UBER was simply regular or premium car or share and that's about it

Now

UBER PET （ Pets allowed ）

UBER ASSIST （ Special SUPPORT ）

UBER WAV （ Wheelchair ）

UBER GREEN （ EV ・ Eco Car ）

There's not much to write, but The list is endless, but it has been subdivided and there are now more choices.


There is nothing special about airport transfers, which are in great demand among these.
Many people usually go to the airport with 4 or 5 suitcases or something,
Why can't we choose from the beginning ？
If we have many suitcases, UBER XL is a group ride for up to 6 people, should we choose this one ？? ？
I'm going back home temporarily in December too, probably 4 ， 5 suitcases, but I was just wondering what to do （ ＞ ＜ ）

Remittance at WISE

I am interested in sending money through WISE.

https://wise.com/jp/blog/how-to-use-wise

Even though I read the step-by-step on this official website

① Japanese residents can send money from their Japanese bank account to →

② There are only two explanations: → Overseas residents transfer money from their overseas bank account to

Japanese bank account.
This may be the only possible explanation, but
Just to be sure, I would like to ask someone who is familiar with Wise


③ A resident in Japan can transfer money from his/her own US bank account to → a Japanese ？


I am a Japan resident, but I still have my own bank account at Union Bank because I was in LA until last month.

Can a Japanese resident use WISE to transfer money from a Union Bank account in the US to a Japanese bank account ？

and if so, how?

The step-by-step on the official page mentioned earlier does not describe how to send money in this way at all, of course, so

If anyone knows, please tell me as specifically as possible. Please.

YOYOKA's family moved to the U.S. and set up a Kurafan target of 5 million yen for Japan as a world challenge project, and the current achievement rate is 200%.
There are rumors that YOYOKA will come to the U.S. around September. Please take a look at Mr. YOYOKA's drumming on Youtube. Please let us know what you think.

The YOYOKA family's Krafan that you are concerned about can only be joined by people living in Japan, but not by people living overseas, even if they want to join.
So, if you live in the U.S., please do not worry about fraud. If you can deposit $ 1, please let us know.

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 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.
