Hi,

I am a Japanese living in LA with a visa. Do I need anything special to travel to Ireland / Dublin? I did not see any info on it, but I assume as long as I bring my visa/passport, I can enter the country and re-enter the US? I did not see the ESTA requirement either, but if anyone has experience, please let me know. Thank you.

is it a visa that will allow you to come back to the US safely?

I am planning to bring in a large amount of both Japanese and Western music, but how much will it cost for a clean CD with no fingerprints on the disc ？

When I asked on the phone, the answer was vague and I was told it would be about 5c to $ 1.

I would like to know ？ whether you assess based on condition alone, regardless of the artist.

But I feel that 5 cents to a dollar is not so vague. Whether it sells or not, the state of the market, of course, has a lot to do with it. I have had people buy books from me, but they don't buy things they don't think they can sell.

I am looking for a place to exchange money into
Brazilian reals for my trip to Brazil.
I am hoping to have a few reals before I leave, although I am sure I can manage locally.
I heard that the money changer in Brentwood does not handle Brazilian Real, so I am urgently looking for one.
I think it is possible to exchange at the local airfield, but it would be reassuring if you could tell me about your experience of exchanging money there
.
Thank you very much.

Today I had a flat tire on my car and called AAA to come over.

Please refrain from making outlandish comments and off-topic. I don't need examples of restaurants, etc. I am only asking about AAA or similar car related services.

I was told during the work that $ 100 more would be added because it was deeper than I thought. But I went to the trouble of putting down a rug, and when I backed out and put a water vent over the bathtub, I scratched the bathtub all over, and I hit the front door with a heavy bucket, which scraped the corners.
He was a rough man, and I guess he felt bad, but he did something like a handyman for free $ I raised it with a 100 tip check, and he usually took it. Well, it may be different from company affiliation or private sales.

I am planning to move from within the US to Los Angeles and am looking for a home.

I am attracted to the convenience of Torrance, but am interested in Playa Vista, which has many newer properties.

I can't seem to find any reviews of Playa Vista, probably because it is a newer town, but if you are actually living in Playa Vista, what do you think about the ease of living there ？

We are a couple in our 30s with a preschooler. We are a couple in our 30's with a preschooler. No problem driving in English.
We usually shop at Trejo and go to a Japanese supermarket about once a week.

I would be happy to hear from you if you have any recommendations about Playa Vista or other areas you would like to live in.

A good neighborhood would be primarily the quality of the residents. Playa has many young families who are highly educated, high income, and work for tech companies. There is a relatively high sense of community belonging due to the large number of owner-occupied homes. It would obviously be a good neighborhood with well-maintained landscaping and parks. The parks in the community are maintained by the community, not the city. Therefore, the HOA is high. $ I think it cost about 800. There should be a 0.75% Community Enhancement Fee when you buy a condo. I didn't notice any noise at the airport. The noise was probably blocked by the LMU pile.

I lived in Playa Vista until two years ago. There are many parks and places to walk around, young couples with children are often seen, and the area is relatively safe. When I checked the crime data when I lived there, I saw some car-related damage, but there were almost no assaults or thefts compared to the surrounding areas. I heard that the road towards Playa del Rey has recently been turned into a trailer park, but I only saw homeless camps near the river. The area is expensive when it comes to buying a house, including tax and other fees. I think the rents go up quite a bit every year and many of the properties had no rent control. There are many cafes and restaurants nearby, and the area is convenient for grocery shopping with relatively uncrowded parking lots. I could hear airplanes a little when I was outside, but it didn't bother me much. There is a protected area, so I remember hearing birds singing more than anything else.

I moved to the South Bay from West L A where I lived for many years. My personal impression after living in both places is that shopping, eating out, and playing are more fun in the West L A area and the calm life is in the South Bay.

Cyber Police News] Beware of Threatening Emails Demanding Bitcoin ！.

  • 2023/04/06 22:34

Over the past few days, we have received a number of consultations regarding threatening e-mails demanding payment in Bitcoin. Please ignore these emails as they are fictitious emails sent to an unspecified number of people.

Threatening e-mails are characterized by
・ hacking your computer and storing your personal information.
・ We put a virus called a Trojan horse in it and extracted your personal information, etc.
・ Recorded you viewing an adult site with a camera.
・ Contact the police, etc. and your videos will be made public.
They demand bitcoins under the guise of deleting your personal information, etc. This is a typical fictitious billing scam.

If you receive an email that you do not remember, ignore it and never pay.
Please alert your family and acquaintances to avoid becoming a victim.

The other day, a friend of mine himself told me about the damage

I got an email saying that I hacked your email server and I should transfer money to you, but I ignored it
After the deadline, all my emails were deleted, then they took over my Facebook and deleted all my previous photos
. I went to the police, but they told me to give up and not pay
I didn't lose any money on my PC, bank, or credit cards, but I had no memories of my past

I have an automatic password for Google, so I don't have to pay for it. I use Google's automatic password, so I don't have to worry about it, but
if you use the same password over and over again with a simple password like date of birth, I recommend you to change all your passwords regularly.
