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

If that grandmother is neither white nor of Mexican descent,

she could be of "American Indian" descent because of the location.

Well, I don't know

whether it is right or not to pursue the question of what kind of people she is.

Why is it "bad" to "judge" with your own eyes how many （ people ） you have been in the past?

In #4561, I wrote "I was born in the middle of the war", but the Japanese dictionary defines "Sengen-ka" as

＊ the generation who spent their youth during the period of World War II. ＊ ＊

as opposed to the postwar generation, and since I was born about a year before the end of the war (or more precisely, the anniversary of "defeat" ）), I

do not belong to the "wenchu-ha". I don't really care about that. I don't really care, but I was curious.

I used to live in Torrance a long time ago and there used to be a beauty parlor called Fathalia in Hawthone bld. I wonder if they are still in business today. ？ The owner of the salon and I were good friends, but when I sent a message to his old email address, I couldn't reach him because the provider itself is no longer in business. I tried to call FASARIA, but the automated voice mail was not working at all. Please let me know if you know whether FASARIA is working or not. Please let me know ！

Unlike the days when the only hybrid was the Prius, today
there are a variety of hybrid cars on the market, so
you don't have to choose a Prius to choose another hybrid car.

But Porsche is different. Hybrid is the lowest and maintenance cost is absurdly high

Other German luxury cars also have high maintenance cost
Wealthy people may flirt with Benz, Porsche, etc. for a while, but eventually they settle down with Lexus when they get old.
People who have enough money and don't mind the price end up with Lexus ～ It is best to change luxury cars in 3 years

Korean cars look cheap but they are copies and you can't find the soul of technology like Japanese cars
Sometimes people are fooled by the price and the glance, but I think I am not the only one. Sometimes there are people who are fooled by the price, but they are often people with low IQ.

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.

Thank you, I will try to get the hotel to open in the next couple of weeks. The hotel is a resort a little ways off the strip. I still think it's going to cost a parking lot, I'm afraid 🥲

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

If you are staying in a remote hotel, Uber is the only way to get to the strip and back. Don't take a cab, you will get ripped off
Once you get to the strip, there is a bus that runs around the clock and you can take it to remote downtown areas.

Vitamin c or TAZAROTENE retinol for spots has been effective in my opinion ！.

I did the ZO skin therapeutic course to remove spots.
You purchase the products from the medical spa in Lake Forest below and use the products after washing your face in the morning and at night for about 3 months, I think. Personally, I thought it was fine even if I didn't use ZO Skin's face wash. The 1cm sized spots on my cheeks are gone, and the spots on my temples have rebounded and appeared, but I am happy with the results because they are invisible with regular foundation instead of concealer.

My boss is looking for a Hina doll set or his granddaughter. I have been looking to buy from Kyugetsu but I am unsure if we will get the shipment on time for the season this year. Do you know if shipment is slower than usual from Japan?
We have been looking for a 5 tier display set of any kind, in good condition. Would love to know of a place that sells dolls in America or a family who is willing to offer a price. Please message me!

I used to look forward to watching Fuji Television's Japanese-language newscasts in the morning, but the broadcast has come to an end. As I get older, Japanese TV is pleasant to my ears, regardless of the quality of the content. If anyone knows of a way to watch Japanese language news in the U.S., please let me know!

If you just want to watch Japanese TV programs on your PC or smartphone, you can buy a VPN with an annual subscription and access TVer, a website where you can watch Japanese TV programs for free.

I don't know what a VPN is, but does it mean I have to sign up for a cable-like service ？ Tver I thought I could only use it when I went back to Japan, so I'm glad I can watch Tver ！.

The University of Tsukuba has a VPN that you can use for free. It is a little tricky to connect, but I always use it to watch TVer.

Thank you Moja2😊

Is this something I have to do every time ？ I don't understand it at a glance and I think I will fail before I start💦

I'm grateful that it is free to use and I will try my best but what you wrote seems a bit difficult😅😅 I'll try my best, but what it says seems a bit difficult 😅.

In my case, I only connect to a VPN when I want to watch TVer or Japanese Amapura, and disconnect it when I'm done.
The trick is to choose a VPN from the list that has a speed of 100Mbps or more, and to choose a VPN that does not have "public" at the beginning. Also, sometimes the connection is lost in the middle, so you have to reconnect to another VPN. Well, anyway, it's free, so I'm willing to overlook a few inconveniences.

I will be picking up a friend coming from Japan at LAX soon.
If you have recently picked up someone to LAX who is not a US citizen or Global Entry yourself, how long did it take you to get there ？
I would appreciate it if you could tell me.
