I am living in OC for a period of a few years.
I have been to some of the famous beaches and shopping malls, but
I would like to know if there are any hole-in-the-wall places that the locals recommend.
In addition to recommended tourist attractions, stores, and restaurants in OC, I am also interested in historical buildings and nature.
If you are a local, please let me know. Thank you in advance.

I don't know anyone in particular directly or anything, but it seems like a lot of people have moved from California to Texas in the last few years. Is there a reason why ?

my friend's sister, my friend's middle school teacher, a friend of my roommate from school, the sister-in-law of a manicurist I went to, my cousin's ex-husband, the mother of a friend from school …

all of them are different races and ages. They're all from different parts of the country, but after two years, I thought Texas ? again.

If you say it just happened, well isn't that an amazing coincidence ? 😂.

I moved from California to Texas and back to California again. I don't want to go back again.

In my personal opinion, the houses are cheap, but property tax expensive. The houses are spacious, but they are hard to clean and there are hurricanes and tornadoes in some places, so it costs a lot of money to repair the houses. Public expenses such as car registers are expensive. Japanese goods are expensive. Airline tickets to Japan are expensive. Utilities are expensive. Gasoline is cheap, but there are many toll roads. It takes a long time to drive anywhere. Not many activities unless you belong to a church. Fire ants and mosquitoes are common and it is very hot, so there are not many children in the parks. The Japanese community is small and rumors abound. Meat is cheap and tasty, but eating out is expensive (about $15 for a bad ramen 10 years ago). Many people are politically and religiously biased, and southern hospitality is only on the surface. Medical care is well developed, with a medical center, but the cost of medical care and medicine is high.

I lived in a city, but there may be differences from place to place.
I would not recommend it unless you have a large family and need a big house.

Thanks Texan ! That was very helpful. My husband is about to be transferred and I'm not sure what to do. I have the right to choose, so I'm just asking. I personally was getting tired of the Japanese-American community here too, but I guess it may be similar no matter where you go. It is hard for me to leave because I have to take my child to a remedial school, but sometimes it is hard to hear rumors and backbiting. I think California is blessed to have a great climate and be able to drive anywhere and get everything, so I'll think it over. Thank you very much for your help.

I have fever, fatigue, and breathlessness.
I have not been to the hospital since the symptoms started last night.

■ What should I take for medicine ?
At first, I took Kuzuneito since it was still at 37 degrees Celsius. → But I didn't feel much effect.

■ Should I go to the hospital while the symptoms are still in the early stages ? My clinic does not seem to accept positive patients.

I am not sure what to expect, even after searching on the internet, so any advice from those who have experience would be appreciated.

In the end, people who need to be careful about corona infection are
elderly over 70s, obese people, diabetics
others seem to be less severely infected even if they are.
Heavy smokers and people undergoing anti-cancer treatment
should also be cautious.

Curing Corona 、 There is no medicine that will alleviate your symptoms.
You have to wait for it to heal naturally.
Never go out !
I suffered for about 6 months with the after effects.
I called the hospital for a moderate corona, 、 they prescribed an asthma aspirator and told me to take over the counter cold medicine, 、 which didn't help.
I was told to just wait because it was just an after effect and it would take time to heal.

I guess people still get corona.
Please take care.

I got a prescription for Ivermectin from In the US, I paid $ 150 because Ivermectin is not accepted by the FDA and therefore not covered by health insurance. Even though Ivermectin is not recognized as a treatment for corona in the U.S., you can get a prescription for it from an authorized doctor in the U.S. online at the following website. It is not recognized as a prescription drug for corona in Japan either, but it is covered by health insurance. I have heard that an American pharmaceutical company called Merck also has a treatment for corona. As for corona, politics has intervened, so you should not rely on what regular government agencies are saying. Including doctors. If you go against them, they will deprive you of your medical license.

If you get the Skype number(050-xxxxxxxxxxxxx), you can call directly from your Japanese phone to a U.S. cell phone. See the URL below. However, $ 52/y payment is required. Also, you need to have a Japanese address to purchase the service. This service is for Japan only and only for receiving calls.
https://support.skype.com/ja/faq/FA34847/skype-fan-hao-tohahe-desuka#:~:text=Skype%20%E7%95%AA%E5%8F%B7%E3%81%AF%E3%80%81Skype%20%E3%81%AE,Skype%E3%81%AB%E7%9D%80%E4%BF%A1%E3%81%97%E3%81%BE%E3%81%99%E3%80%82
Another option is to get Brastel's 050 number. See the following URL.
https://choro.asia/hoken/kaigaikara-0120-free-dial-brastel.htm
This service is free as long as you don't call out. It is especially useful when calling 0120 numbers. However, when you call a Brastel 050 number from a Japanese phone, sometimes it calls the cell phone application properly and sometimes it does not, and there are stability problems, so I mainly use the Skype number for receiving calls only.

I have never tried it, but I believe the Skype number is for calls only and not for SMS. I checked the Microsoft article; SMS authentication is a headache for those living abroad. Furthermore, Japanese SMS authentication is usually set up assuming a valid cell phone number in Japan, so I think it may be impossible from this point of view. ( Personal Opinion )

Thanks again for your reply.
I asked Skype. I asked Skype about it, but they said I can't receive SMS after all.
I could receive SMS from my Japanese cell phone in the US if I set up a VPN in Japan, but I am considering cancelling it because the communication fee of my Japanese cell phone has become too expensive.

> You can earn miles by using credit cards for purchases such as gasoline and food


That is, with certain credit cards, such as those issued by airlines in cooperation with credit card companies, you can earn miles on the amount of "anything" you buy. Other cards do not earn miles no matter what you buy. Please check with your yorker.

I used to have the same Delta Amex Gold card as Mr. Ignorance. However, if I try to earn miles with it, Delta is the only option for travel, and I have to keep my fingers crossed for cheap fare offers on other airlines. In addition, the Costco VISA card gives you points on everything you buy and there is no annual fee to maintain the card, whereas the Delta AMEX card cost me $99 every year just to have it. So, I got rid of the Delta AMEX card.

The topics are limited to topics related to Japan.
Politics, economy, weak police force, corona problem, injection problem, working style, internet diffusion, stocks, virtual currency, English education, prices, land prices, earthquake, defense problem, lack of credit card diffusion, lack of my number diffusion, health insurance, retirement benefits, tax evasion friendly society, criminal friendly Self-Defense Forces are paid too little, etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc. ?

I see, that's a way to do it.

But when I experienced it, I gave up because I thought the purchase would not be completed without the PIN.

In any case, I was surprised at the difference between the Japanese system and ours, since we don't require a PIN for purchases made with a credit card here.

Next time I go to Japan, I will contact my VISA card company to get a PIN in advance.

Gonko,

> You need a pin to withdraw money from a bank ATM ?

When traveling in Japan, many guest houses and stores only accept cash. However, in Japan, there is no need to pay cash at all and I have not paid cash recently. When I pay for car wash by credit card, I ask them to add the Tip to the amount of the car wash fee, and then I get the amount in cash and give it to them as a Tip.

Even so, I still keep a few $ 20, $ 5, and $ 1 bills in my wallet just in case.

Ah, there was one. I've been to a small Mexican restaurant that only takes cash, so I pay cash there. So when I go there, I check my wallet before I go out because I am worried.
