I went to a used bookstore on a weekday when there were few people around,
browsed a bit to buy some books,
then moved on to the manga section.
I'm totally sure the staff is sneaking around checking me out the whole time.
I pretend not to look, but it's so obvious. He must have looked like a shoplifter. But I felt really bad.
Are there others here ??

It happens a lot ! Every time I tell the clerk at the entrance to help me if I suspect shoplifting. If it's just before closing time, I want them to search with me, but the last time I asked the G-men to look for this, they couldn't do it. I don't know if it's good to be so obvious, but I think it's better to talk to them and not shoplift,

Dance deposits are dangerous ! My friend's parents had a wardrobe deposit and their house caught fire and burned down. If you don't use the money now, it's better to put it somewhere safe and where it will grow properly. I saved there the other day. Please contact me if you are interested.

Hi,

I am a Japanese living in LA with a visa. Do I need anything special to travel to Ireland / Dublin? I did not see any info on it, but I assume as long as I bring my visa/passport, I can enter the country and re-enter the US? I did not see the ESTA requirement either, but if anyone has experience, please let me know. Thank you.

if you do not file this "W8 BEN", you will be subject to 30% withholding,
which is calculated to deduct $300 and leave you with only $700.

I am planning to bring in a large amount of both Japanese and Western music, but how much will it cost for a clean CD with no fingerprints on the disc ?

When I asked on the phone, the answer was vague and I was told it would be about 5c to $ 1.

I would like to know ? whether you assess based on condition alone, regardless of the artist.

But I feel that 5 cents to a dollar is not so vague. Whether it sells or not, the state of the market, of course, has a lot to do with it. I have had people buy books from me, but they don't buy things they don't think they can sell.

I am looking for a place to exchange money into

I am hoping to have a few reals before I leave, although I am sure I can manage locally.
I heard that the money changer in Brentwood does not handle Brazilian Real, so I am urgently looking for one.
I think it is possible to exchange at the local airfield, but it would be reassuring if you could tell me about your experience of exchanging money there
.
Thank you very much.
