Those of you who have crossed the ocean to come here to Los Angeles and Japan
are always concerned about something related to your travel between Los Angeles and Japan.

If you have anything to say or questions, please feel free to write.
I'll try to write "something" as well.

Example :
What means do you use to call when you return to Japan?

Which seat on the plane do you prefer, Aisle or Window, front, back,

Which airline do you think has the best food?

Which mode of transportation do you use to get to the local area?

and so on and so on

#162 Mr. Point Savings,

$600 cash back is amazing. This time mine was $360. I think it's because I fill up at the Costco gas station as you mentioned. I have been driving only a Prius since Costco switched from Amex to VISA card, and since both of us are retired, the chances of both of us driving one car at the same time have been drastically reduced.

Therefore, the consumption of gasoline has become considerably less and the reword has also become less.

Also, I will use this card from now on because Costo VISA card in Japan no longer has a foreign exchange refund fee.

#163 New World,

I see. There may be spontaneous actions of the homeless, but it may also be possible that the authorities' regulations ・ have become stricter
in the age of overflowing inbound tourists.

It has been 10 years or so, and the sidewalk between Keisei Ueno Station and JR Ueno Station was never a pleasant sight with homeless people littering the street in the middle of the day. The place has been cleaned up.

> I sincerely hope that they will have a hopeful future.

Gyoi. Well, there is a rush of construction for the Tokyo Olympics and many laborers are hired now, but I am afraid of what will happen after the Olympics are over.

We try not to pay cash, so we use cards as much as possible. We have used our card in Japan, but when we go to Costco, it is a hassle for American members to be confused about something every time we go there. I am looking forward to seeing what will happen this time. There are so many things I want to bring back from Costco in Japan. I can't bring it back, but … domestic chicken, lol.

I have been asked to buy coffee beans as a souvenir to take back to Japan, or rather on my trip, but does anyone know any good beans ? I don't drink coffee, so I have no idea.

And also Taiwanese tea. I used to buy Taiwanese tea at a Chinese or Vietnamese store that had something like "green vegetable" written in Japanese, but it was very expensive ! I would like to know about cheaper and tastier teas. Thank you in advance.

# Mr. 170

I bring Peet's Coffee&Tea beans as souvenirs
They are sold in supermarkets, but stores sell many kinds that are not available in supermarkets
People have their own tastes, so I match the roasting ( Deep, Medium, Light beans are commonly used
Major Dickason's Blend ( Deep beans and Big Bang ( Medium beans are commonly used

Peet's Coffee&Tea has not expanded to Japan ( and has withdrawn ) from the market
so you will be pleased Also, when Starbucks was founded, it is known that they purchased beans from Peet's Coffee&Tea and used it as a model.

#170 Mr.

I forgot to mention that I recommend Whole Bean ( not ground ) when buying Ground (ground beans )) ( the aroma is longer lasting ).

#170 Mr.

I recommend Ground Work Coffee's organic Single Origin coffee.
It is an LA local brand that originally started out of a store near Venice.
They roast their coffees from all over the world in LA, so they are fresh and even though they are darker, they don't taste bitter like Starbucks coffee.

Warwo, your coffee is blooming with coffee souvenirs.

I don't do it now either, but it tastes better if you grind from Whole Bean. I just don't know if the person I am giving the souvenir to has a grinder or not, so I always give them a ground one. Now I want to bring one of the brands I heard about here.

My wife brings Costco shelled pistachios as souvenirs to her close friends in Japan, but I look at them with unimpressed eyes because the quantity of one bag is too much. Moreover, I am sure the same product is sold at Costco in Japan, so I am not sure if it is worth the trouble to bring them all the way from here, even though they are heavy.

I bring the Peanut Brittle from See's Candies here because it is quite expensive in Japan. I think it is good for those who have a sweet tooth.

Pistachios are from California or Nevada, so they are appreciated in Japan.

Pistachios are expensive in Japan.

I brought home a bag of 20-25 2cm cubes of cassionut, almond, chia, kienowa, cranberry, coconut, pumpkin seed, etc. mixes that were very popular as souvenirs, and since then they have become a standard item. USA" is on the label. It was also nice to be able to buy a box of 24 bags and leave them on the plane. My 92 year old grandma was very happy with them.

I'd like to ride the Linear Shinkansen at 600 km. www.

I hope there is a Self-Defense Forces ride tour. www.

I'm sure it will be a dollar-box tour.

> I would love to ride the Linear Shinkansen at 600 km

me too. However, it is said that the route from Tokyo to Nagoya will be as straight as possible,
and most of it will be in mountainous areas, ( mostly in tunnels, ) so you can't see
the scenery, and it will be too fast to even see the scenery,
so there are rumors that "there are no windows" . There is a rumor that there are no windows. Well, it is possible that you just have to enjoy the speed.

#178 Ethereal,

Even Costco in Japan seems to send quite a few items from here except fresh food. I would like to visit Costco for my later study, but like Aeon, it is not located near a train station and seems to be inconvenient for travelers. It seems to be inconvenient for travelers, though, as you can use your card to enter the store. I guess they only have that stupid big bag of shell-less pistachios mentioned above. I believe they cost about $16 here, but they might cost about 3,000 yen in Japan.

#180 Mr. Light, Cheap and Delicious,

I refrained from all those products. Trader Joe's also sells a lot of mixed nuts and dried fruits. Some of them cost $5 or $6, but they are smaller and lighter than Costco, so they are good souvenirs to bring back to Japan.

Also, these items can be sent by Japan Post's Letter Pack Light (360 yen) or Letter Pack Plus (510 yen) for a flat rate throughout Japan, so I send them to people I won't see on my trip as soon as I get to Haneda.
