Parking near LAX

Do you have any recommendations for parking at LAX for a few days ?
After doing some research, I'm thinking of parking at one of the parking lots in the area because the parking lots in LAX are a bit expensive.
By the way, we are planning to depart from Terminal 3 late at night.
If we take a shuttle bus to the airport, we would like one that operates midnight and early morning.

If you have any recommendations or know of any information, I would appreciate it !
Thank you very much.

The two requirements are
a late night flight so there will be a shuttle service even in the middle of the night or early morning, and a cheaper place to park than in LAX. The two conditions are as follows. That's all.

I am a mother of two elementary school aged children and my kids want to learn.

I am ashamed to say that our family is not very rich, so I would like to give them one lesson each, but I would like to know the types of lessons and monthly fees for various children's classes. I would like to know the prices of various types of children's lessons and monthly fees.

Also, I would like to know about other types of lessons that cost a lot of money in addition to the monthly fee, such as fees for recitals, trips, costumes, and equipment. I don't want my child to be the only one who can't participate in this program due to financial reasons. Please share your experiences.

I'm not sure about the monthly fees, but I used to use Park and YMCA programs a lot.
They have not only exercise programs but also piano and other programs.
I think the cost is reasonable, so why don't you inquire at least once in your neighborhood ?.

First, you have to know what the children want to do. For example, they want to learn ballet, but you can't tell them to play soccer
because it costs money, or they want to play basketball
but you can't tell them to learn calligraphy because it costs money to go on trips.
(For example.
First, let the kids name 2 or 3 things they want to do
and then you can consider ? children get bored easily, so if you make them learn something they don't want to learn
because of money, it is
a waste of money and time. It's a waste of money and time. Also, even if you ask here
, it would be easier to answer if you give more specifics about what you want to learn.

Yes, if you could be a little more specific, I'm sure many of us could give you our opinions.
I think elementary school students are very different from first graders and fifth graders. 。。。。 And boys and girls will have different
advice.

But, in general, individual sports are expensive. If you're a girl, figure skating or gymnastics is robustly expensive. At first, they let their children learn just for fun, but as they get better, they are told that they will be placed in an athletes' course and will be required to attend twice a week... At first, parents are happy and wonder if their children have potential ? and let them attend twice a week, but eventually it becomes three or four weeks. 。。。。 The monthly fee goes up and up and up. And when they start participating in tournaments, parents are also asked to volunteer, and the cost of coaching ( lodging, airfare, and meals ) are paid for by the parents who go to the tournaments. I was surprised how much money it cost when my child did well and had to play in another state or in Hawaii.

The same is true for figure skating. As you get better, you have to hire your own coach, rent out the rink for morning practice, etc. Costumes for competitions are also expensive. Costumes for competitions are also expensive. If you are a girl, I felt that figure skating and gymnastics are the two sports you should stay away from if you can't afford it💦

I don't have any experience, but I think team sports are still less expensive ?.


In the summer, swimming looked like fun with the programs that the City was doing. If you go to a slightly larger park, I think you can get a guide to those programs. The ones that City offers are very inexpensive. However, the piano classes were cheap or bad. If you go to a big park, there is always a building that offers such activities, so I think you should go there and get a brochure. Some programs are year-round and some are specifically for summer vacation. They are just cheaper, so registration can get crowded.

Recently, while watching YouTube, I frequently see commercials for A Senior Flex Card, Senior Alliance Benefit Card, etc., that offer special, free medical and food benefits to seniors who are 64 years of age or older and have Medicare. I googled to see if there is such a thing and found some information that it is a Scam ( Scam ) and some information that if you join a certain insurance company, they will offer it to you. If you know, could you please give me the correct information?

Summary Divorce with Dissolution. ( Married less than 5 years, no children, property ・ almost no debts. )

I have looked at the self help guide for the California courts, etc., but is it okay to just file the FL-800, FL-825, and Property Agreement?
( In addition to that, two copies of each document and two envelopes stamped with the address )

Are the FL-810 and FL-150 just used to do the calculations to divide property and debt between the couple ?

Also, we are currently living together, but I have already found a place to move to and will be living in the new place by the time the divorce is finalized.
In that case, should I write my new address on the envelope?

Thank you all for all your input.
I was able to print successfully yesterday.

How did I end up doing it,

1 . I found a store on Yelp that has a reputation of being able to custom print anything (https://www.yelp.com/biz/custom-1-printing- torrance)
2 . I took the A3 paper I bought from Daiso
3 . The professional at the store adjusted the size of the print several times and adjusted the settings so that the printed area was centered nicely on the A3 paper

I was able to get a good result.
If there was no A3 paper, the store owner was going to print on a larger sheet of paper and cut it to A3 size.
They printed it for less than $5 for 4 sheets, so they were really conscientious and helpful.

I contacted Japan Graphic in the Torrance area, and this company seemed to be able to help me, but I was in a hurry, so I went with a local printer who answered quickly on the phone this time.

By the way, A3 size is twice the size of A4 size, which is similar to the commonly used American letter size, and the paper was too big for the home printer I had at home.

Thank you very much.

In order for an eighth grader to study in the U.S., he/she must follow the steps below to obtain a visa.

1. Obtain a Letter of Admission : To enroll in an American school, you must first obtain a letter of admission from the school. You can apply directly to your school or through a study abroad agent for a Letter of Admission.
In general, it is difficult for Japanese junior high school students to study at public junior high schools in the United States. Children of local residents are given priority in American public schools, and international students are permitted only in limited cases. In addition, in order to study in an American public school, students must reside in the school district. Therefore, Japanese junior high school students must enroll in a private school located outside of their school district to study in an American public school. If you wish to enroll in a private school, we recommend that you contact the school directly to find out more about enrollment procedures and required documents.

2. SEVIS Registration : International students in the U.S. must register with the Student Exchange Visitor Information and Management System ™ (SEVIS™). The study abroad school registers the student with SEVIS and enters the international student's information, the international student is automatically registered in SEVIS.

3. Obtaining Form I-20 : Once the Letter of Acceptance and SEVIS registration are complete, you will need to obtain an I-20 form from your study abroad school The I-20 form is one of the documents required for the international student's visa application.

4. Visa Application : Once you have obtained your I-20 form, you will need to apply for a visa at an American embassy or consulate. To apply for a visa, you will need your passport, Form I-20, visa application fee, and an appointment for a visa interview.

5. Visa Interview : A visa interview is required for all visa applications. During the interview, you will need to ask questions and provide detailed information about the visa application for international students.

These are the steps required for an eighth grade student to obtain a visa to study in the United States. You can obtain more detailed information from your study abroad agent or the school where you will be studying. It is also recommended that you seek professional advice on how long to apply for a U.S. visa and the details of the process, as there are many requirements.

An eighth grader is still a child who needs protection. A child who cannot do anything on his own.

He has to inform his parents of his wishes and get their approval before proceeding.

For a child to study in the U.S., the procedures between Japan and the U.S. are very difficult, and above all, a lot of money is needed.

You don't seem to understand even if you read the polite response of Mr. Renunciation in #4, and more importantly, you have no gratitude for Mr. Renunciation who took the trouble to respond to you on his own time.

And you can't go to a public school if you don't pay taxes …
and study abroad . If you really want to study abroad, boarding school would be the safest choice. ?
Even high school students under what age needed a guardian.

If you can afford 10 million a year, it is possible to study abroad by yourself, even if you are in junior high school.
Unless your parents work and pay taxes here, there is no other way to go to public school except for a special one-year exchange program ….

As for high school, I have heard that you can get an I-20 for the first 9 months and go to public school on an F-1 visa.
So if there is a public school that accepts you, contrary to Ryan's idea, you may be able to go to a public school first and then transfer to a private school. This was a long time ago, and anyway, I think you need to ask an immigration lawyer or something about this.
