Relocating to LA with family, house hunting and school district ….

Problem / Need advice

Nice to meet you.

I am relocating to Los Angeles for my husband's work.
I will be working in Burbank and am looking for a place to live within a 30 minute commute. ( Rent can be up to about 7k )
I have children in elementary school and kindergarten, so I am considering a place with a good school district and safety.
We also want them to attend a supplementary school, so it is difficult to find a place with good access ….
I was stationed in Los Angeles for a year before my child was born, so I have a vague idea of the area, but when it comes to school districts, I have no idea, so I refer to sites like Niche.
I am currently considering
La canada, South Pasadena, San Marino, Arcadia, and Encino, Shrman oaks, and Studio city west of Burbank.
As for supplementary schools, we are considering Asahi Gakuen's Santa Monica school.
I know it's really difficult because there are so many conditions …
I would appreciate any advice anyone can give me.
Thank you in advance.

The remedial school is once a week, so I don't think you need to think that much about convenience. I think it is better to give priority to the local school because daily life is more important than that. I can do my best in the remedial school because it is only once a week, but if I fail in the local school, it will be stressful.

Dear Pu New

Thank you very much. It is true that the supplementary school is only once a week. … If the local school is preferred, it seems to be very difficult to choose a school district. I wonder what criteria everyone is using to make their choice ?.

If private school is not an option, but mid-career enrollment is not possible, public school districts would still be La canada, South Pasadena, and San Marino, but racially, LaCanada is quite mixed and may be easier to blend in. There are few rentals in these areas, and it is difficult to find a place that fits your budget. San Marino is almost exclusively Asian, with the overwhelming majority of Chinese among them. If you are not concerned about race, these areas are relatively safe in the vicinity of LA. The Japanese school is only open once a week, though, so I would suggest that you don't prioritize that convenience.

In the stabbing death of a Japanese boy in China last September, the defendant was sentenced to death at his first trial on January 24.
In addition, the death penalty was also handed down in the case of the death of a Chinese woman who stopped a Japanese mother and her children from being slashed to death in June of last year. This was a very early verdict and has not been tried. I think the reason for holding a trial only as a formality and concluding it with little or no trial is that they do not want to reveal the defendant's motive or the background of the case. Some Japanese have pointed out that China has anti-Japanese historical education, and that this is what caused these incidents.
Also, some may have thought that Japan would be satisfied if the defendant was given the ultimate punishment.
It is China's usual practice to bury what they don't want you to know and get it over with.

If he's acquitted, that's a big problem, but if he's given the maximum sentence, that's a good thing. In Korea, it's probably about 3 years in prison ?.

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

In China, plums have been pickled in salt and used as a preservative food since the 3rd millennium BC.
In Japan, it was already used by the nobility during the Heian period (794-1185) to maintain health and prevent disease, and Emperor Murakami cured his illness with a tea made of pickled plums and kelp, making the benefits of pickled plums increasingly well known.
During the Warring States period, umeboshi were used by warriors as a portable food during long military campaigns and expeditions because they could be preserved for long periods of time and were an excellent source of energy, and they were also considered a necessity on the battlefield to relieve fatigue. In the Edo period (1603-1867), umeboshi became widely consumed by the general public and became one of the indispensable foods in the Japanese diet. During the Tenmei Famine, many people died from famine and epidemics throughout Japan, but it is said that almost no one died in the Kishu domain, where pickled plums were used as a preserved food.
Also, when cholera was brought in from overseas and raged as a contagious disease, the people of the time used pickled plums as a remedy, and it is said that the acidic sterilizing effect of pickled plums helped to end the cholera epidemic.
In Japan, umeboshi have been used for more than 1,000 years, and some ume farmers and stores specializing in umeboshi have been in business since the 1800s. ❤️ We should continue to treasure umeboshi.

I had strong memories of the Fellowship House where the Boyle Heights cemetery was located.
First arrived from Japan and was surprised to find the YMCA in Hollywood a gay hangout, then
there was a boarding house after the church and various Japanese.
In the evening, Mexican women would show up, and a raucous evening party would begin.
It is a bitter memory. I paid a two-week depot there, but left the next day to escape.
I guess it's like the setting of Strawberry Fields: 。。。。 I guess not many people know those days anymore 、、、、、 ?

I think there are many people who are here illegally for social welfare benefits or illegal jobs. 

I think that even the police would ask for identification if they thought someone walking around was suspicious, but I wonder if it is different. ?

The estimate was verbal. So I think it was difficult to discuss with the veterinary clinic because I did not get a written contract.
I imagine a thinly veiled smile for example if I said I wanted my money back because I was probably charged illegally.

I was new to animal hospitals so I didn't know the market price. My head was not moving correctly when I made the payment because I was thinking that the hospital bill for humans would be charged too much without insurance, and the fact that dogs do not have insurance was mixed up in my mind, and if I did not pay it, my credit would be bad.
Thanks to this, the people with a thin smile took all the money I had saved to go to Japan. If I had no savings, I might have acted differently. By the way, my dog is fine.

Cleaning a dog's teeth is expensive. Anesthesia and whatnot can make your internal organs worse if left alone.

When President Trump visited the area damaged by the fires,
it appears that the governor of the state pleaded with him to get assistance.

It appears that because of the fires, the Governor of California has
set two conditions for the federal government to receive assistance.

1, Voter ID law ( Every voter must provide ID and check to vote )

2, Create reservoirs ( There was no water in the reservoirs during this fire )

This exchange was broadcast statewide. This exchange was broadcast throughout the United States.

I laugh at the fact that the governor of a state that was so unusually pro-environment has turned Los Angeles into a ruin. 

A state governor who has a policy of not requiring people to show ID to vote in elections is just crazy, but Democrat supporters are so brainwashed that they won't wake up from their brainwashing when they get a state governor like this elected and burn their own homes. I am very tired of them saying it is Trump's fault for not helping.

When Trump was giving this presidential campaign speech, he said you had to mow the bushes in Los Angeles. 

You have to mow the bushes in your home to get fire insurance, and there are people who lost their homes because they couldn't get fire insurance because they saved the money for the mowing. The fire insurance company was more aware of the situation and doubled the insurance, but the governor set a lower cap on the insurance for the people of the state, so the insurance company left the state of California.

The second is US Mobile. I signed up for this as a

Every summer when I go back to my hometown in Japan for an extended period of time, I have trouble with phone calls within Japan. This time, my child was at school, so I had a lot of trouble getting a call from the school. I gave him my parents' phone number, but I can't answer the phone if I'm out of town. How are you guys doing ?

I took my pocket Wi-Fi with me, but it's too inconvenient because I can't contact anyone except on line. I couldn't even call the store and was in a state of 모듈을 고팀(I don't even know if there's a way to do that)urashima-taro.
