Dodger Stadium gets super crowded, so it’s a shame for little kids …—they’d just get jostled around
. I guess it’s a bit of a stretch to try to get in and out of the wildly popular Dodgers games without spending any money and while avoiding the crowds.

When you mention a Wednesday day game, I assume you’re referring to tomorrow, the 17th.

I’ve never $ parked in Lots 13 and 14 of Section 5, but for night games, there’s always a long line starting two and a half hours before the parking lot gates open. I parked in the stadium’s on-site parking lot, ignoring that line. $ If you park in Lot 5, you’ll have quite a walk under the blazing sun, so I wouldn’t recommend it for families with children.

Lot 13 and 14, where parking costs $5, are likely to fill up an hour before game time on weekends, depending on the matchup and other factors.
When I went to watch a game last weekend, it was an hour and a half before kickoff, and I barely managed to find a spot.
It’s not that far from Lot 13 to the stadium, but the hill is steep, so I think it would be tough if you have kids.

If you leave the $45 standard parking lot at the end of the 8th inning, you can usually get out without much of a wait.

I’m someone who always parks in Lot 13 for $5 （—I’ll be using it about 20 times starting with the 2025 season ）. I have children aged 7, 4, and 1. I carry the 1-year-old, but the 7- and 4-year-olds usually walk to the ballpark （—though the 4-year-old sometimes rides in a stroller ）.
For weekday night games （ with bobblehead giveaways ）, I always try to arrive 20–30 minutes before the parking lot opens, and I’ve never had any trouble finding a spot. However, for particularly popular events, the parking lot opens earlier than usual and fills up quickly, so I’ve sometimes ended up having to pay the $45 parking fee.
Also, Lot 13 is often used as a staff parking lot, and when that happens, the available spaces are significantly reduced, which always makes me feel rushed.
On the way back, even if we take our time after the game ends, it’s cool and mostly downhill, so we get there quickly while chatting about the game. If we drive, there’s almost no traffic, so the trip home is smooth.

I was a private guide with both Vima Travel and Rocotavi until a few years ago. I knew for sure there would be a certain number of clients who would report to the authorities. We even got ice cream, so it was very difficult. We don't do it anymore. If you underestimate the importance of private guiding, I think you will have a bad experience.

As Japan’s population declines and remote work becomes more common, the number of moving companies catering to Japanese customers is also decreasing. Many companies no longer answer their phones. Since unlicensed, fly-by-night operators offer no insurance, it can be a bit worrisome if your belongings get lost or damaged; therefore, sticking with a major company might be the safer choice.

He said there's ice cream in Joshua Tree. He's not a ranger.
I went there the other day and right after I paid the park entrance fee, there was an ice cream checkpoint.
I showed them my green card. They also asked about the relationship of the passenger.
He said he doesn't have one at all times now. They also looked at my car's license plate number.
I was surprised that they were also doing checkpoints at the south entrance and exit on the I-10 side.

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.

Court （ If they say you don't have to go to court ） then
first you get a letter from the court and if you admit guilt, you pay this fine amount and that's it. You can pay it online
If you don't admit it, go to court and contest it
I think these are the two ways
Of course you will get points for the violation, same as in Japan, but there is a one-day course called traffic school, and if you take it and pass it, the points will disappear
If you admit the crime and pay the fine, you will get a letter from the court and pay this fine. When you pay the fine, do you want to take the traffic school ？ and if so, pay for it.　
If you don't take traffic school, the points will remain and your car insurance rate will go up
If you take traffic school, the points will disappear and your insurance rate will remain the same
There are two types of traffic school, online or by attending the nearest school from home
From my experience, it's easier to attend school

So,
file an objection
admit
take traffic school
don't take traffic school
I think there are 4 types

You can change your name to whatever you want at the Oath Ceremony when you get your citizenship.
I didn't know that, so I didn't think about it beforehand. ？ ？ When I was wondering what to do, I saw a sign that said "Juicy Burger" standing where they were selling hamburgers. I thought for a moment about changing my last name to "Juicyburger" as a joke, but in the end I didn't. It's easy to change it on the spot, but if you want to change it later, you have to apply for it at the court and get it approved, which is a hassle.

Thank you to those who replied. It seems that once I get my US citizenship, it will be relatively easy to change my name. One of the reasons I want to change my name is because I grew up a bit abused by my parents in Japan and I want to change my mood. My husband, who is American, likes my Japanese name and is not too supportive of changing it to an American-style English name, but he is a quiet person, so if I insist on changing it, I don't think he would object.

> If you are attacked with a pistol, you can't even escape with a local employee attending to you.

How many times have you been attacked with a pistol in your many years of living in LA, Showa Oyaji-san? ？ If a Japanese person is suddenly attacked with a pistol as in the LA scandal, it would be news in Japan, but such incidents only happen about once every 10 years. Most of them are caused by problematic behavior on the part of the victim, such as foreign students walking around in the middle of the night. In fact, the crime rate in LA is going down every year.

＞ How many times have you been attacked with a pistol in your many years of living in LA, Showa Father ？

Fortunately I have not had that experience, but three people I know have.
One was attacked as he was getting out of his car in a parking lot, but he escaped by giving the attacker money as he demanded. Another was shot from another car while driving. This was probably more of a prank than a robbery, but dangerous enough. Another was shot and killed as he was getting into his car with the proceeds from a store closing. He probably resisted.

There were more Japanese people running Ricker stores then than there are now, and a good number of them had a good deal of experience being held at pistolpoint in the course of their work. It was probably around this time that two Japanese students were shot in the Ralphs parking lot in San Pedro.

It would only be an incident, and only a few of them, that would make the news. There are probably quite a few that were attempted or did not turn into incidents. By the way, the above two people did not report
to the police.

There are incidents in LA even if they are not on Japanese news. Rather than judging that there are few crimes
against Japanese people, it is necessary to be prepared for incidents that occur only once every 10 years or so

＞ Actually, LA's crime rate is going down every year

That's a good thing.
But "rate" is a crook. It's used in a convenient way.

If there is 1 criminal in every 100 people, that's 1%; if there are 1,000 in every 100,000, that's 1%; if there are 1,000 in every 100,000, that's 1%.
The crime rate when it was policed meticulously and the crime rate in recent times when minor crimes are overlooked.
Crime rate during a period of high violent crime and a period of increased fraud and other crimes.

Claim by immigrants that the number of foreigners living in Japan has increased but the crime rate has not.
They do not mention that the number of crimes has increased.

Thank you for your sympathy and for your replies.

It is really inconvenient and I hope the consulate will update the information. I think that if the IC chip and the name notation in the passport are not the same to begin with, it will not be an official ID. ？ I wonder if the Japanese government did not think of the inconsistency in that area .

I have tried various versions of the name for online purchases as follows.
Hanako Yamada Smith

Hanako Smith

What confused the airport staff in both Japan and the US the least was the >>> on the bottom of the passport. >>>'s name, which was Hanako Yamada.

I am also an international marriage. It's a hassle every time … If you change your name when you get married in the US, it will not match the name on your Japanese transcript. So no matter how you change your name on your passport, you need to check your green card and passport at the counter when you check in for your flight. \If you remove the "Smith" from your passport, you may be required to submit a marriage certificate. In conclusion, I think it is best to leave it as it is.
