Due to Covid-19, there was a 2-week quarantine period when I returned to Japan, and it is still going to take some time before I can travel freely to and from Japan. On the other hand, however, vaccinations are progressing in the U.S. and airlines in the U.S. are recovering. Certainly, traffic congestion is increasing in Los Angeles.
I am not the only one thinking, "If there is a quarantine period after I return to Japan, let's travel around the U.S. !".
There are many places I would like to go, New York, Florida, Hawaii, etc. Where would you like to go?
Or are you still holding back the urge to travel ・ ・ ・?

First of all, Disneyland and Universal Studios are open, so I should probably attack that area first.

We are waiting for your opinions.

I lived in Glendale, LA for a few years about 10 years ago.
I am looking for someone who helped me then.
It was in Wella Court in Little Tokyo ( about 10 years ago ) I am a woman named Junko Smith, the mama of a club called Clud J's. After returning to Japan, for various reasons, I have not been able to contact her until now.
I was also indebted to Mako-san of Mako Sushi at that time, and when I tried to contact her, I learned from her website that she closed her restaurant this year.
Orochon Ramen and Yakitori Koshiji were there at that time.
If anyone knows this lady, could you please contact me ?
I will give you my own email address if you like.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your comment.
We have already returned to Japan several years ago,
so it is difficult for us to visit you there.
I have confirmed that there was another store in the place where you used to have a store ( until the end of last year ). I have confirmed that there was another shop where the shop used to be until the end of last year ?
Of course, it is possible to contact the current Wella Court tenant directly, but I think it would be difficult because so many years have passed, so I am posting this here in the hope that you can provide some information. If you know Junmama, I will tell her about myself.

Does anyone know of anyone or a place that will let me pass a smog test if I pay for extras ? ?
I am having a very difficult time because my friend bought me a car that is a hassle. I was told that it needs to be repaired to pass the smog test and that it will cost $ about 6000 to repair. I just bought the car and I am a student and I don't have that kind of money right now. So I am stuck in a situation where I can't register my car and I can't get it repaired. I would appreciate it if someone could give me some information.

I am in a shared room for a few months for a reason. There are about 12 - 15 people living in the house. The fridge is stuffed with everyone's food.
My chicken and the 2L coca cola I leave on top of the fridge ・ are stolen on a regular basis. Its a house rule that you are not allowed to eat other people's food. One person was caught stealing food the other day and was evicted at the next rent payment.

The question is:
Do you have any recommendations for a camera ? small and undetectable. (Of course, we will install it with the house owner's permission. \cHB9.5}
We don't know when it will be stolen, so we would like something that can record all the time, and automatically erase the past few days and start recording again on a new day.

Just let me know which camera you prefer.

Sorry for the flight question.

Do you recommend a car camera ? There were a series of car-related problems around me and I was lamenting the fact that there were no cameras and no evidence. He said he even called the police but they couldn't help.

I wish I could record while driving and while stopped.

A friend of mine had a problem
① with his windshield being damaged by a rock thrown by skateboarders playing nearby while parked in a parking lot.
→ I took a video of the glass breaking and the boys running away and getting into the car, with the license plate number visible, but the police said they needed a video of the moment of the breakage and said it was not evidence.

② I was hit by a car that was visiting a neighbor's house while parked unattended in the underground parking lot of my apartment
→ I asked the landlord of the apartment to record the car entering and leaving the parking lot for the police, but they said it was not evidence of a hit. He said he might have been able to get by a little if he had video of the car intact when it entered the parking lot and scratched when it exited, but just as it was entering, the other side of the car was shown and he could only see the scratches when it exited.

③ A car was driving down the freeway and tried to pass him at a high rate of speed, scraped my friend's car and drove off.
→ I was so panicked that I don't remember the license plate number of the car, I don't know the make and model of the car, and all I can remember is that the car was an engine-like color
→ The police came but left saying that it would be difficult to identify it

. I don't know what to say. I know it's an accident, but it's unreasonable. all three of us are repairing the car with our own insurance, but the insurance premiums are going up and I don't feel good about it, so I was depressed.

Although not related to check payment, there was a time when the airport shuttle bus between Van Nuys Airport and LAX was cash-only. However, the ticket booths suddenly changed to accept only credit card payment, as if the ticket salesman, who was supposed to be a city employee, had stolen the cash out of the booth.

Now there should only be kiosk machines ( vending machines ) that only accept cards, as I have no business at LAX since 2019.

I have been leaving all bookkeeping for the restaurant to the accountancy,
but from now on I am going to do it myself, except for TAX RETURN.

I have only one restaurant with single digit employees. 
What I would like your advice on is

① Do I need software, since many people say they don't really know how to use it,
Is Excel ok or would it be easier to have it,
If so, is there a monthly Subscription
Do we need an online plan? ?

② I hear that it is better to outsource the bi-weekly payroll
. Is it better to apply from the ADP website rather than from Quickbooks, etc. ?
I know there is Paycheckcity, etc.

③ I heard that monthly sales tax is done from CA state application page.
Quickbooks ONLINE Plan has a section called "sales tax", is this a way to pay using the ONLINE Plan? accounting firm uses Quickbooks.
If we stop using the accounting firm, will we have to purchase the software and input our account from scratch? I'm wondering if we really need the software.


I would appreciate any advice on an easy way to transition from the accounting firm to doing this myself.

How are you going to manage inventory, food purchasing, expenses, and SalesTax without using software ?
Expenses are divided into various categories, so you can drop 100% of them or spend 3 years
If you have to do it in Excel, it's easy to use Quickbooks!
You should think about it in case you get audited
Currently the Quickbooks admins are the accounting firms, so they won't give you the historical data ? Well, I don't need it
I'm still using 2019 Quickbooks. I'm still using Quickbooks currently. You don't have to buy the software every year
Of course I haven't used the software all the way through, but it's cheaper and easier

① If you don't have a branch office, you can use Desktop ? We use Desktop
② We do our own employee ? If you're not solo, you'll have to hire an outside firm
③ SalesTax is done by typing it in yourself on the CDTFA site, and Quickbooks will give you the numbers, so this isn't that hard

I don't think you have Excel nowadays ?

> You have only one store and a single-digit employee size

so it is difficult to decide whether to manage the finances yourself or leave it to someone else.

If you have a "right-hand man" to whom you can entrust the direct management of the store, including employee supervision, you can immerse yourself in financial management, but if not, you will have to entrust all or part of the work to an outside agency. If you are familiar with accounting software and the software is linked to your accountant's computer, you can use a "tripod" approach, where your accountant calculates sales tax, State Board of Equalization, and IRS-related taxes and you make the payments. You can have your accountant calculate the sales tax, etc., and pay the IRS related taxes on your own.

In my case, I started with Mom and Pop Corporation, which at one time had over 50 people including myself paying payroll checks, but I left the accountant to someone I had hired since I was an expatriate. When the number of employees started to increase, I needed a receptionist and secretary, so I asked her to put the employee's working hours in Excel and sent the data to ADP to make the Paycheck. I don't need to go this far for you. It's just Gigi's bragging.
