Hi, I live in US but am in Japan now.
I use both Japanese and US credit cards in Japan.

I had to enter my pin number in some places
but I never did. I told them that I had never entered the pin number, but I was able to make a payment by touch sensor.

When I used my US Citi Visa card at Cosco in Japan, I did not need to enter my pin number
I was able to place my card and make payment just like at Cosco in the US.
I hope this helps.

I have looked into this matter, and it seems that from April 1, a pin number will be required under certain conditions （ depending on the amount of money and where the card can be used ）.
However, it seems that Japanese-issued credit cards do not have a pin number on the card ？ so you need to remember the 4-digit number you set when you got the card
and enter it when paying with the card. However, U.S. cards have pin numbers （ and 3-digit numbers ） on the back of the card, so if you are asked
to enter the pin number, I think you should just enter that. I don't have a Japanese card, so I can't confirm this.

That 3 digit number is not a pin number.

You have to call your credit card company and request a pin number. They will mail it to you about a week after you request it. If you want to change the pin number you got, you can change it by calling the automated voice service after you receive the number in the mail.

I used a Cosco City Visa card in Japan on April 1, probably for a small amount and did not need a pin number. ↑ ↑ As I wrote in , the pin number will be mailed to you if you call the phone number on the back of the card and request it.

There are people who post information on Instagram, tick-tock, and other trader Joe's information on their blogs and instagram ｡ You can also find information in advance on the trader Joe's website.
The time of sale and days of sale may vary a little depending on the store, so you may have to ask the store staff directly （ Many people say they don't know even if you ask them ） Anyway, if you go to your nearest store, you should be able to get in line about 2 hours before it opens ｡ if you are in the fierce competition area, you should be able to get in line . 467> If you can't buy it … the rest is already sold at a high price on ebay. The guy at the store told me to buy it on ebay if I wanted it that bad ｡ It's terrible 😓.

GC, it looks like you're getting a deportation notice from a record of being caught for DUI, DV, etc. Felony, so if you have a criminal record, you might want to become a citizen sooner rather than later.

The lawyer said that not only Green Card holders, but also F-1, H-1, and other visa holders have been caught for DUI, and those with criminal records have started to have their visas revoked anyway. Students with extended I-20's are being terminated one after another. … There was an unannounced job interview at the DAISO in Irvine, and it looks like ICE will be cracking down more and more on this ｡ Green Card holders were originally required to do this, Green card holders were originally required to carry their green card, but if you are ever in an ICE situation, you should be able to show it ｡ If you don't carry your green card, you will face penalties or worse … 😱It seems like they will start with illegal aliens and people with criminal records ｡ When Trump was elected, there were many cases of Middle Easterners not entering the US even if they had a visa, or not being allowed to attend school on a student visa. I think it's just a tyranny for now, but … some people are actually being made an example of, so I'd be careful. 😢

Recent concerns about immigration policy, particularly the topics of criminal records and visa revocation, are certainly important issues for many people. In particular, there have been reports of increased crackdowns on green card holders and student visa （ F-1 ） and other visa holders. It is reported that criminal records may increase the risk of visa revocation or denial of entry.

It is also noted that green card holders are required to carry their cards at all times and may face penalties if they fail to present them. Furthermore, student visa holders who do not attend school or do not properly renew their I-20s are at risk of having their visas revoked. In these situations, it is important to consult with an attorney familiar with immigration law to verify your status. It is also recommended that you be prepared to file taxes and maintain documentation to ensure that you are legally in good standing.

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.
After all, you got the treatment, so you have to pay for it. I don't think it's that expensive, but...

First, you will be charged a consultation fee ｡
In an emergency room, the hospital may set a different price, but $ 135-300 is a good starting price ｡ Then you will be examined, and the cost of the examination and treatment will be explained. Usually, you will be given a detailed bill and have to agree to pay it on the spot before you can have the next treatment or exam ｡ 😢
Dental treatments and cleanings are usually inexpensive $ 150 to 300. If there is too much tartar buildup and bacteria invade the gums through the teeth, it can cause all sorts of diseases, but in my boy's case, it broke through the skin and pus came out of his cheek under his eyes ｡ I couldn't believe it at the first hospital … I took him to a different place for a second opinion, and it was still the I took him to a different hospital for a second opinion and the same thing happened, he had an emergency surgery early the next morning and they also cleaned his teeth because he was under anesthesia. ！ There are a lot of really rip-off hospitals that are not that good, so it's better to find a reputable and trustworthy doctor for your dog ｡ I live in OC, so it's a bit far from Los Angeles ？ If you still want to know more, please contact me. <1567> If you still want to know, please contact me directly.
My, my dog's eye specialist is in Ventura and I drive 2 hours to see him every time lol 😆 because of his skill, reputation and friendly pricing ♡.

I'm in Japan. Tsukiji is full of foreigners. When I went into a sushi restaurant, most of the customers were gaijin. When I told the guy behind the counter that 90% of the customers were foreigners, he replied that Japanese people don't come here. If you are a tourist, you are welcome to come. But many of the convenience store clerks and hotel room cleaners are also gaijin. I thought it was the same as in the U.S. that gaijin are doing the jobs that Japanese people don't want to do. But I think it is admirable that they can speak Japanese well.

I don't see the point of going to the trouble of hiring a foreign national for a job that anyone can do. I think the visa system should be like in the U.S., where you have to be talented to get a visa. I don't think it's about talent, but more about the reason to hire foreign nationals.

I gave up my trip to Japan in late May due to cancer infection, but
if I am lucky and my cancer is cured in late September, I will travel to Japan （ the fare will be expensive ）.

If I'm not lucky, I have to buy a ticket to hell. I wonder how much it would cost.

I am also lazy and give up after a little and it does not last long. I walk for about an hour every day. Sometimes I skip it.

By the way, I used to go to a yoga class every Wednesday at the LA City Senior Center nearby, but I haven't been there since the yoga class was cancelled due to a lunch-on that used the entire hall. I was the only Oriental in the class, and the rest were all Western grandmothers. I wonder if Gigi doesn't want to do yoga. It's good for the body and mind.

There was a couple who were 70 years old.

CHP responded to a report of heavy traffic on the 10th freeway
There was a car driving very slow and sluggishly
I stopped the car and found 4 elderly grandmothers in the car
I asked the grandmother who was driving
She told me that until now I checked the front passenger seat and the back seat, one of them was unconscious and the other grandmother was shaking
I asked her what was wrong
I saw a sign on the road that said 10, so we were going 10 miles per hour.
Officer asked "where are you coming from?" and the old lady said
she was changing from the 110 freeway in San Pedro to the 10
apparently she was going 110 miles per hour on the 1-10 freeway.
the other grannies were on the verge of fainting with fear

The parking lot in the airport is the same as it used to be, and I believe the first floor pick-up area for the free 20 minutes is also the same as it used to be, but I'm sorry if it's under construction. No general vehicles can enter. So, it is very difficult to pick up passengers as soon as they come out, like in the past, because they can't find a place to park their car and have to go around several times
Many people come to the upper departure level and wait at the end of the hall to pick up their luggage If you don't have much luggage, it's easiest for the driver to have a shuttle come to the cellphone waiting lot.

Airport pickup is usually the way to go. You can pick up in one shot. You shouldn't have to do several rounds unless you accidentally passed by it or something.
