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.

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.

In the U.S., CDs are an extinct species, so you can sell them at BookOff for a couple of bucks or donate them to Goodwill.

Exchange to Brazilian Currency

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.
When he was done, I tipped him $ 20 because it was hot and I wanted a cold drink but my neighbor, an old American guy, said that AAA doesn't have to do tips. How about you Bibi's ？
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.

Yen Accounts in the U.S.

  • Yen
  • mail

I think there was a previous topic about yen-denominated deposit accounts in the US, but I can't find it.

When I send money from Japan, it is deposited in dollars when it is wired to my bank here.　There used to be a yen-denominated account at Union Bank, but it seems to be gone now.　2 ～ Is there any Yen Account that can be maintained with a balance of less than $30,000 ？?

Topix: You have yen and don't want to convert it to dollars right now, so you want to know if you can open a yen-denominated account. I also have tens of millions of yen, but if I change it to dollars now, it will lose a lot of value. I think that once the aftereffects of Corona are over, the current depreciation of the yen will be somewhat better, so I intend to keep it in yen until then. If you have dollars, you might as well buy yen. Both of these assumptions are based on the assumption that the yen will recover. Well, if you think the yen will recover, you can short dollar-yen on FX.

With the yen at a record low, $100,000 is converted to 14,000,000 yen.
The yen appreciates to 100 yen per dollar, and when you convert it back to dollars, it becomes 140,000 dollars.

What's with the self-destruction ？ lol

My reason for wanting to have a yen account is similar to #16, "I don't want to convert it to dollars right now." Because when money is transferred from Japan to my bank here, it's very diminishing.　I think people who receive pensions from Japan feel the same way.

I don't know if the current rate is a record for those who know the days when the dollar was 190 yen, but I am thinking of buying yen now and waiting ＜ all the way to a stronger yen ＞.　

I am hesitant about Wise because it appears to be for small amounts and does not appear to be FDIC eligible.

Normally, they do not close your account out of the blue due to their business practices.

Since they are also a commercial company, they have a means of saying, "In this case, here is what you should do" and they will probably send a "warning" to your registered E-Mail

address, etc.

You should act according to that warning.

I always carry on as much as possible. I bring a Boston bag on top of a smaller suitcase that can be carried in, and put the suitcase in the top compartment and the Boston under the seat in front of me. If I can't fit it in, I put it in a cardboard box and send it by fedex or usps, but
usps is surprisingly expensive. I don't know how much the check-in surcharge is, but it is also expensive to send heavy items.

Thank you very much Aloha. I will try to take full advantage of the carry-on as much as possible. With my sister, who broke her arm last time, we kept our carry-on luggage to a minimum, so that may have been a factor.
The largest box that can be sent by USPS Flat Rate is not very big, and the price seems to vary from Hawaii to Hawaii. I thought the post office was the cheapest, but I will look into FedEx and UPS ！ Thank you very much ！.

We recommend a service called Pirate Ship. Even if you do not have a business account, you can purchase labels at a discounted price for broker accounts that Pirate Ship has. It is not very cheap, but it is about 10% less than the regular price.

Number of stores: COSTCO has many stores worldwide, while SAM'S CLUB has slightly fewer stores than COSTCO.

Services: Both stores offer merchandise at discounted prices, but COSTCO may have an additional advantage in terms of discounted prices, special membership benefits, and exclusive offers.

Which one you prefer depends on your personal preferences and needs.

COSTCO is available in Japan even for US members.

I think it is possible to do it when you enter the store
because you have to go through a special procedure at the cashier
when I went there, it took a little time and I felt sorry for the people around me .

SAMS is a lot easier to shop at than costco because it is totally empty.
