Uber Delivery is a service that allows you to, for example, go to the post office, pay for the postage and drop it off, or go to the library and check out a book.

Nice to meet you

Recently, I often see Prius being bought and sold
Is its popularity declining ?
The Prius was the most popular hybrid, but recently there are many
hybrid cars out there, so please let me know your opinions.

・ I'm not sure I understand the thinking behind the figure that often sees Prius being bought and sold = lower popularity

.
Prius is not a rare car, and there are quite a few on the road everywhere.
If the population is large, they are more likely to be seen in the market...? Buying and selling has been common for a long time and I don't think it will change now.

It is popular in the used car market because of the large number of units sold. As long as the hybrid battery is OK, you can save money on gasoline and maintenance costs. You can change the transmission oil and do it yourself without changing the filter. The problem is that the generator replacement costs about $6,000 and the hybrid battery replacement costs several thousand dollars, but if you replace the battery yourself, it will only cost a little over $2,000. I can sell it for more than any other car. I guess that means I can sell it for more than other cars, so I'll get my balls out of it.

I am a Global Entry holder.
I have a green card renewal this time and I renewed it but received a letter for a 3 year extension. My Global Entry expired to return home temporarily this time and I tried to renew it but could not because I did not receive the card. Can I go to the center where I had my Global Entry interview and have it updated? Please let me know if anyone has tried in the same case.

The current administration has instituted a fine of $ 1000 per day for illegal aliens. If you are arrested by ICE and deported, this fine plus a semi-permanent ban from entering the US will be imposed. However, if you voluntarily return to your home country through the CBP ONE app, the fine will be waived and you will be provided with a free airline ticket. There is also a possibility that you may be allowed to enter the U.S. in the future. For more information, please visit DHS.gov.

I am going to Las Vegas for the first time in about 10 years.

I'm freaking out that parking is now charged. I used to buy the 24 hour buffet all-you-can-eat and eat all the seafood etc. that I love. ?

I'm thinking about what to do this time because I'm taking my kids and I hope they can enjoy it, but I feel like I can't go anywhere if parking costs $ 20 or so every time.

I would like to go to Coca-Cola, M&M and other stores that are fun to look at, as well as the interior of each hotel, the fountains and the pirate show. I am worried.

I would like to have fun with my kids and family, no drinking or gambling.

If you stay at an MGM Group hotel, you can come and go free of charge with your room key at any of the Group's hotels as long as you pay the parking fee at the hotel where you are staying.
It is free until midnight on the day you check out.
No matter where you eat, it is expensive.
I think you should just decide on a good restaurant and head there.

I'll check out some good restaurants. Let me know if you have any recommendations.

How to receive SMS verification from the U.S. after permanently returning to Japan

I am planning to return to Japan permanently in the near future.
I will cancel my phone number in the U.S., but I would like to know if there is a safe and inexpensive way to receive SMS verification codes sent to my bank, brokerage firm, insurance company, etc. in the U.S. when I log in after returning to Japan. I am also considering Google Voice. I would also appreciate it if you could tell me the name of the bank where the SMS verification is actually being done without any problems. Thank you in advance.

In the near future, foreigners, including illegal aliens in the U.S., will no longer be able to sign up for cell phones in the U.S. If they cannot prove their status, they will be forcibly terminated and SMS verification will be impossible. This is expected to wipe out illegal aliens from developed countries.

If you are going to leave your bank account, etc. in the US, you might as well leave your phone without canceling it.
If you are worried about the phone bill, how about switching to a phone with a cheaper plan ??

Community Property in California

Problem / Need advice

  • 2025/10/11 18:05

We have been thinking about buying a house for several years for our daughter's future school district, but since last year my husband and I have been having marital problems and have been living separately at home. We both work, but my husband does not put a dime of money into the home and does not do any of our daughter's school related or domestic matters. So I have a question and a consultation.
If we were to buy a house in our current situation, would we have to share the property with my husband ? My husband and I do not intend to live together in the future and I will be paying the down payment and the mortgage.

Or is it better to buy a house
after the divorce?
Also, is there any way to avoid Community Property ?
I would appreciate it if you could help me.
Thank you very much.

You can put the property in your own name at the time of purchase. If you also pay the down payment and loan from your personal assets ( premarital savings or inheritance from your parents ), it will not be considered "community property" in the event of divorce. Some spouses will argue over custody, so if you don't need to buy now, it is safer to rent for the time being and buy after the divorce. 

Do you have enough income to take out a loan on your own? ?
You should keep good records of the down payment and loan payments coming out of your personal account.

Thank you for the detailed information.
As for whether I can get a loan on my own, in the past I would have had many options for a place to live, but now that this has happened, I will have to change my mind and find somewhere acceptable.

I have an additional question, does anyone know of a Family Law attorney that they can recommend ?
or is there anywhere (other than a lawyer) where I can get divorce advice ?
I know this is a lot, but thank you! I am sorry to keep repeating this, but thank you.

Choosing an area to move to Los Angeles

Hello.
We are a family with children living in the US.
I will be relocating to Los Angeles next year and would like to discuss the area where we will live.

We are considering
Redondo Beach
Cypress
Rancho Palos Verdes
Torrance
Culver City
El Segundo
I am thinking of

Preferences
• Not too many Japanese
• Some Asian presence
• Easy access to Asian grocery stores
• 6000-7000
• easy access to Century City where I work

From the above points, what is the best area to live ? and what other areas should I look at? !

Also, I know that many people recommend Torrance or Palos Verdes, but how many Japanese people are in each area? Can you tell me how many Japanese are in a class on average?

Thank you !

El Segundo or Culver would be the best choice considering commuting.
The others are far from the freeway.

Manhattan Beach or Marina Del Rey.

> Families with children living in the U.S.

Does that mean that your children are already living in the U.S.?

I don't know if they are studying abroad, but if so, they would probably be limited to within driving distance

of that school.

> • Asians must be present to some extent

Here in Los Angeles, "Asians" are everywhere, large and small.

> Easy access to Century City, where I commute to work

Morning and evening rush hours can be quite heavy, so

limited to a few miles radius from Century City. It will be limited to a few miles radius from Century City.

Not too far away, just over a mountain to the north, is San Fernando Valley

where I have lived for over 50 years.

Here in the valley, the mountains are about the same size as the hills above and the cool air from the ocean does not come here, so it gets very hot in the summer.

But since there is no humid wind from the ocean, the humidity is extremely low and the temperature is high but not so high that you sweat. However, in summer, the temperature sometimes exceeds 100F (38C).

That's what anyone would normally think, even if they are not blessed with the intelligence of a former super elite expatriate like Mr. Double Kin Man.
Why is he even a candidate for Cypress, the next county over 30 miles away? It is like a person relocating to Tokyo renting an apartment in Ibaraki Prefecture. I am also surprised that Century City is not on the list. I would decide on Century City without hesitation.

I lived in WLA. Around here, there are a few Asian students per class, except in some schools.
Considering the morning and evening traffic jams, I think Culver City or El Segundo, as close as possible, would be a good choice. Other potential locations would take more than an hour each way to commute.
As for schools, you can check out Gratschools.
If it is a 4-5 bedroom, it would be a house, and rents are very high these days, so I don't know if you can rent it for $6000-7000.


The El Segundo school district is small and very nice, but too small to have much choice. I am told that it is mostly white.
Because it is a small community, there are few apartments or other rental properties, rents are high, and I think it would be difficult to find a suitable vacant house.

The Culver City school district is also small, but larger than El Segundo, and the schools on the north side are better.
Note that there are places where the address is Culver City but the school district is LASD.
Culver City has always been a predominantly black area, but there are also more Orientals on the north side, and more black as you go south.

The school district near Century City is not a candidate, probably because it is LASD.
LASD also varies quite a bit from school to school, and there are many good schools, so you could live within commuting distance of a school that meets your needs.
However, rent is also higher in the commuting area of good schools.

If you work in Century City, Culver City, West LA, Mar Vista area would be good.
There are Japanese markets and restaurants.
Torrance has a Japanese community and many Japanese, but Culver City, West LA, Mar Vista area has a good mix. ( I also live in this area )

Depending on the age of your children, Culver City has a language immersion school elementary school where you can take classes in Japanese.

Torrance, Rancho PV, and El Segundo use the 405 freeway for commuting, and the northbound route toward Century City is congested in the morning.

Cypress is too far away.
