For your reference
1、U.S. citizen can enter Japan and be issued tourist visa by the immigration bureau at the airport. \2, Japanese spouse visa is not applicable (this visa is only for Japanese spouse of foreign nationals living in Japan)
3, You should ask the consulate in L.A. for information regarding the new pneumonia.

My gf circled "I don't understand English" and yet we were asked to serve on the jury.

So, on the appointed day, we went to the court and found that several times as many people as the jurors who would participate in the actual trial would be gathered, and we were taken to a large waiting room. After that, it seems that the presiding judge himself picks up the jurors from the list, and then a staff member comes to the waiting room and asks who and who not to come. My wife's English was terrible ( and her pronunciation was actually terrible ・ and her word order was bullshit ) and she exclaimed, "I don't understand any of the jargon used in court" and was told that she could go home.

In my case, I was once called to a civil court, not a criminal one, but I didn't seem to get picked up and I went home quickly. It seems that even if you circle "I don't understand English" these days, they ignore you and the judge summons always seems to come.

PCR test for entry into Japan, how to do it for free or at a low cost

I am thinking of returning to Japan possibly next month and will need a PCR test within 72 hours.
$ There are some places that will do it for about 100 ~ $ 200, but
if I do it and the result is positive, it would be a waste of money, to be honest.
I found out that there is a place called TTS that may be able to do it and there are some testimonials about it, but is there anything similar
in Orange County ? ( TTS was not available in Orange County )
. XPRESS URGENT CARE does, but
I'm not even sure if it is currently covered by insurance. I would be very happy if you could share some information with me if there is any place that actually does free or cheap
writing in Japanese format.

It would be impossible for them to write it in Japanese format because they cannot read it.

What about having it certified by Notary Public.

Mako is so single-minded that I didn't even hear the voices around me,
but I think it's never

If Mako knew
that there was no place for her to come back to at that time, I think she would understand her parents' feelings, who had opposed her for so long.

waka,

To tell you the truth, I am also an electrician by nature and use a transformer instead of a transformer, but there are some people on this forum who are very aggressive in their opinions, and I was "uncharacteristically" concerned about that. For the time being, I recommended the use of a transformer. Modern home appliance manufacturers design and manufacture their products to meet safety standards that allow them to withstand use in hostile environments by their consumers. I would venture to guess that they test their products to ensure that they will not catch fire even if the power supply voltage fluctuates by up to 30% over a specific period of time.

Furthermore, even in cooking with heat, such as in electric kettles, the structure is now such that heat is obtained by passing a special radio wave through a special metal, and the radio wave is controlled by an electronic circuit that can automatically control the circuit even if the power line voltage changes significantly. Therefore, there will be no problem even if you use a product with a standard AC 100V input at 120V. However, there is always a "just in case" possibility, so please keep that in mind.

Sorry to get technical again, but in the past, electric cookers such as electric kettles used electric line voltage ( 115/120 volts ) in the US directly into a heat exchange material such as nichrome wire to obtain heat output. Today, however, the heat exchange material has been replaced by the "IH ( IH )" method.

https://www.itmedia.co.jp/fav/articles/2012/27/news021.html

This is the technical term for electric line power as mentioned above IH = Induction Heating ( Induction Heating ) converts the power into heat, specifically ( the power of a high frequency ) magnet applied to an iron pot to convert it into heat power. At any rate, the power of heat is obtained in a much safer way, not by mucking around with nichrome wire as in the old days.

So, to return to the main topic, the heat return device can handle large changes in line voltage, and at the same time, the manufacturers of these electric kettles and cookers have designed and endurance tested their products so that they will not be affected by a voltage of 125V or so applied to a Japanese voltage of 100V for a long period of time. I believe that these electric kettles and cookers are designed and tested repeatedly to ensure that they will not be affected even when subjected to voltages of around 125V for long periods of time.

As Mr. Doubokujinman said, as a safety test for products rated 100V, we have confirmed that there is no problem from a safety standpoint even if a voltage change of + -2 ~ 30% is applied to the product. However, the rated voltage in the U.S. is 120V, and it is necessary to consider that the voltage may vary by at least 20% above or below the rated voltage. Therefore, even if there is no problem for a short period of time, using a transformer with 120% of the rated voltage for a long period of time may increase the possibility of malfunctions. Therefore, I recommend the use of a transformer if possible. Hair dryers, futon dryers, etc., which generate a lot of heat, are especially dangerous because the heat generated is about 1 . 5 times higher and the temperature becomes too high. I use a transformer with a capacity of 1500W for futon dryers and microwave ovens. However, most electronic equipment such as TVs and PCs are rated at 100 ~ 230V, so a transformer is not necessary. Since it is difficult to obtain a transformer with a large capacity in the U.S., I order one from Amazon.com in Japan. I am not familiar with the design of IH cookers ( and the latest electric kettles ), so I cannot comment on what happens when a 100V product is used at 120V. However, IH heaters on the tabletop (1000W, 100V) seem to be working fine so far without a transformer. ( The time is so short ? it's a risk when it will fail. )

stray cat

A stray cat has been living in our backyard for a while now. It is not just one cat, but maybe a kitten that one of them gave birth to has grown up and there are about 5 normal sized cats in total. I don't dislike cats, but I don't want to go near them because I am allergic to them. And I want them out of my backyard somehow. It is hard to clean up their feces and urine. But I don't want to kill them. But I don't want to spend money on it. It may sound cold, but I can't afford to spend money on a cat that has taken up residence on its own. There is a male cat that has recently moved into the back of the house and is probably after the cat that lives there. We are troubled by the sounds of cats in heat ? or males fighting ? at night, which wake us up and disturb our sleep. I don't see them very often during the daytime to see where they are or if they are sleeping ( but I still see them occasionally ) and they are noisy in the evening, at night, and during the night.
I don't want to kill them. I don't want to kill them, but I want them to leave. Please let me know if you know any good way to get rid of them.

It's a bit expensive, but 、、、、
Amazon sells a spray that smells like granulated sugar or something that cats don't like.
If you spray it with a citrus smell that is safe for plants and children, but cats don't like, it may not work once, but
after a few times, the cats seem to stop coming.

Search for Cat Repellent.

But, even if they go elsewhere, it ends up being a solution for your own backyard only, so I think a rescue or something is better for a radical
solution.
