My son is 50 years old, but he was born and raised here.

He has friends in the construction industry, and when we wanted to fix a part of our house,

he would bring someone from that industry to help us.

Also, once when we needed a painter, the house next door had a total exterior paint job done and

the workmanship was so-so that we asked them to do it for us too.

After all, we are afraid to ask a stranger, including Japanese-American relations, if we do not have some kind of reference.

> It's probably because they have the power to advertise on TV.

Not necessarily.
I hear that if they advertise, they charge more for the work they do, and they charge more even if the work is not done properly.

If the quality is good without advertisement like Chateraise, it will be advertised by word of mouth of customers. The price is reasonable because they don't have to pay for advertisement.

I hear that if you pay for advertising, you get a fee on top of that, and even if you do a reasonable job, you get a fee as well.

Whether or not the work is done properly, any advertising costs are ultimately borne by the customer. If it's a huge advertising fee, like putting it on TV, they're probably unknowingly burdened with hundreds or thousands of dollars in advertising fees for remodeling-type jobs with high unit costs. There are a few people like Showa-era ototsuan who don't understand anything and are deceived.

Thank you all. As Baikinman said, I have seen houses nearby that have been constructed and thought they were nice. There was a house in my neighborhood that had been completely renovated, outside and inside, almost everything except the frame.

Even in the middle of construction, until the curtains went in, you could somewhat see the inside from the outside （ and the entrance ＆ from the street side and the living room with kitchen was visible just by walking around normally. ）
Every time I walked past there （ I thought, "The construction company here might be polite. ） I thought to myself.　
Before → After was surprisingly different. （ Including the exterior ）

However, it was a private contractor, or they spent a lot of time.　
It seemed to be a freshly purchased renovation or had a separate residence, so I am sure the long term would not have been a problem.

I sometimes wondered if it would be easy to visit the house and inquire about the construction company if the need arose.
I thought it would be very rude and did not take action.　　I probably won't do it in the future.　

I wish my neighbors would do it ＝.　） I am hoping that the neighbors who have been in contact with us will be able to do it .

This is a case of taking stored goods out of the company's warehouse without permission and reselling them
.
Nowadays, as in the past, there is no such thing.
Employees check the trunk of their cars every day when they leave.
Lunch is also checked 100% of the time when leaving the parking lot. I worked in a logistics
warehouse. I worked in a warehouse in a logistics company, and we had to deal with all sorts of things: SONY, TORAY, Morinaga snacks, Otafuku
and if we were found out, we would be fired.

Chico knows.　

Showa Ototsan is a very successful young businessman
and philanthropist in the Nikkei community, although he is living in extreme poverty and smoke. He donated large sums of money when the Japan-America Cultural Center and the Japanese American Retirement Home were built
and has continued to devote himself to the development of the Nikkei community after his retirement.

One of the members of the Rotary Club ・ he belonged to at the time was Kim Man Bae. He was on a
pilgrimage in Japan but was not satisfied and is now on his way around the world on a luxury cruise ship.

Although he has retired from the front line, he has outsourced the manufacture and sale of "Showa no ototsan" brand high-end open-collared
shirts(20,000円) to a Japanese supplier during the summer months. He is also a bitco
in investor and landlord.

He says he is busy every Sunday, but in reality, he is quite busy. He hates cheap PCs and uses Macintosh.

I had no idea what a terrarium was, so I googled it and found that it is a thing that creates a super miniature natural world inside that glass aquarium.

I don't know where you can buy them because I'm not interested in them at all, but those glass aquariums are in pet stores that sell killifish and tropical fish. There is a large pet store near my house called Petco that sells tanks of various sizes and shapes. Is that soil special? I would use soil from my own garden, but looking online, it seems that this is not just any soil.

> Going by my example, until you obtain U.S. citizenship, in other words, you should have to be registered somewhere in Japan while you are a Japanese citizen.

In other words, Mr. Baiman came to the U.S. in the 1960s and kept his Japanese resident registration until he obtained U.S. citizenship.

> However, I do not know if he has to pay resident tax even if he does not currently live there.

Why don't you know? How is it possible that you don't know, and what did you do with your own resident tax until you came to the U.S. in the 1960s and obtained U.S. citizenship?

There seems to be a problem that even foreign residents have to register as residents to receive high-cost medical care under Japanese health insurance.

（ From July 9, 2012 （ effective date ）, foreign residents （ staying in Japan for more than 3 months or longer ） are also subject to the Basic Resident Registration System ）

The resident registration is for people residing in the area . Those who have moved to other areas or foreign countries must originally submit a notification of moving out.

Advantages are: （ You can join National Health Insurance ） and pay insurance based on your income in Japan .　　You can receive a my number card （ You can open a bank account ）.

Disadvantage is that if you have income in Japan, you will have to pay Japanese tax on it. Inheritance procedures are complicated.

↑ Even if you report your residency, you can't use the insurance if you haven't paid the premiums. Therefore, the problem is just identity theft or other fraud.

＃ What I wrote about being insured in 11 is, of course, that you can receive treatment and examinations with Japanese insurance when you return to Japan.

Although Japanese health insurance cannot be used at medical institutions in the U.S., you can get a refund of the amount you paid by yourself if you file a claim with the Japanese insurance organization.　However, since the refund is calculated based on the Japanese medical cost standard, only a portion of the amount paid will be refunded.

Since there are many Japanese people in LA as a whole, not only expatriates, it is easy to find a community （ and friends ） through BibiNavi, which lists many Japanese-affiliated schools.
In some areas, there are many Japanese children in the local schools, so you can find many Japanese mothers and friends. ！
Depending on the school district, there are many students from various backgrounds, not only Japanese, so the schools also offer various support services such as ESL.

Hello. I understand your feelings very much.
I was gathering information by actively exchanging contact information with Japanese people I met.
I would like to know if there are any parenting communities … I have the impression that everyone seems to have their own groups （ at work, elementary school, apartment, or in their own lessons ） but I am not aware of any large communities.

However, we would like to get some information before coming to the US. If you write specific questions or concerns, such as "My workplace is going to be in this area, but in this neighborhood, which elementary school district is best to live in ？ etc., a kind person may reply to you, as you have replied in ↑.
(Although it might be easier for everyone to answer if you direct … to the email address or something. )
