I was lurking on YouTube again and found this

SFO to NRT in Zipair 787-8 Full Flat business class

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VDMn30Pctc

This is not from LAX but from SFO. SFO, but the content is the same and talks about Low Cost Airline.

My wife and I have not yet made a reservation, but

Basically, I am doing a lot of research on Zipair.

I have decided on a date for my trip to Japan and have chosen an airline and paid for the round trip.

The date is in the middle of this May, avoiding Golden Week.

I chose ZIPAIR this time because the fare would be cheaper than JAL/ANA, but

the fare was a little higher than I expected after buying minimum options.

Two couple ・ LAX - NRT round trip, total cost is about $ 1,520.

With JAL/ANA, it may be over $ 2,000.

The seat is too small and there is no display in front of you.

Various entertainment ・ I will bring a gadget

Well, I am worried if this 80 year old ＋ can survive until landing at NRT. --;

70+,

Thank you for all your advice.

Yes, the economy class seat size seems to be narrower than JAL/ANA in front, back, left and right.

I was born just before the war and I am 5'-06" taller and shorter than young people today, but

if my knees touch the back of the front seat, I don't think I can relax during a long flight.

If the restrooms are crowded, I have to stand outside the door for a long time,

which might be a nice change of pace.

Also, my wife is taking her I-Pad with her, so I can put a lot of videos on it to pass the time.

＞ Flat seat first class is cheap

It's like JAL/ANA business class made even smaller.

My wife, who is also a cheapskate, rejected this one.

I go back to Japan with my child for about 2 months every year.

I walk about 20 minutes from my parents' house to the bus stop in the countryside and take a bus for about 25 minutes to get to the JR station.

I don't go very far, but I wish I had a bicycle to go to the local supermarket or my sister's house (15 minutes away by car), but a regular bicycle is too hot and too heavy for me.

I'm wondering if it's a good idea to buy an electric bike to use less than 2 months a year and would like to hear your opinions.

Also, I think it is possible to buy a 3-seater tuk-tuk (less than 1,000,000 yen) that does not require a garage permit and can be driven with a regular driver's license, but I am not sure if I should keep it even though I will only drive it for 2 months a year.

I have a shed with a covered door, so I can store it without being exposed to rain and wind, but I am worried that it will deteriorate if I don't drive it ？.

If there is only one person, it is an electric bicycle, but a tuk-tuk is very attractive because you can take your child a short distance. A car is difficult because there is no place to put it even if we rent a car.

It has nothing to do with the elderly, but when I was a kid, which was about 10 years after the end of the war, model trains were very popular.

They were what we would call O-gauge now, with three rails, and my parents had a model shop (now a dead word, too?) where they sold them with freight cars. \My parents bought me one model of a freight car at a model shop.

I was so happy with it that I would 'just' roll it around on the table or on my desk.

I woke up in the morning and as I was walking to the bathroom I was struck with vertigo.
I feel wobbly and the scenery around me is moving and I feel unbalanced.
Last night, feeling tired, I ate something sweet and stayed up late even though I was sleepy, and when I went to bed around 2 am, I felt dizzy and went to bed thinking I must be tired. When I woke up this morning and got up, I felt the same and the scenery around me was moving, I am worried.
I looked it up and found that I have eye fatigue, earaches, etc....
If anyone has any experience with this or has been to a hospital, I would be very grateful if you could tell me what to do. Thank you for this opportunity.

#1039 Bono-chan

Is it the so-called "dizziness"?

Since you wrote in the "Elderly" topic, I assume that "Bono-chan" is an elderly person. I will reply as far as I know.

Do you usually eat nutritious food? Do you eat a lot of vegetable salads?

Please make sure you get a good night's sleep, as lack of sleep can affect your body's condition. If you "stay up late," you need to change that habit. This may be the toughest part.

It's a common recommendation, but lead a "regular" life.

If you don't have solid health insurance, take even more care of yourself.

Living a disorderly life far from Japan, without insurance, can be fatal.

I am sorry for saying such a thing.

Today I went to the hospital for what was supposed to be a routine blood checkup.

A few hours later, I automatically received the test results by e-mail.

Two items are a little out of the safe range, but this is usual and no special treatment is needed.

I go to a paid fitness club twice a week, and I attend a decent weekly yoga class at the LA City Senior Center.

I would like to walk for an hour every day, but I get sloppy and do it every other day.

Well, my body is healthy for an 82 year old, but the blur is starting to show a little, but there is no cure for that.

I use a rotary composting system, but the food scraps fill up quickly, so I bury them in the soil in my backyard.
It seems to take about 3 months to complete composting. I don't put all my food scraps in the garbage, so it fills up quickly, but other houses may not accumulate that much food scraps. I have peach, citrus, and other fruit trees at home, so I dig holes around them and bury them. The compost has a partition in the center, and there are two rooms, one for food scraps and the other for composting in progress, and it is rotated daily to circulate oxygen, but it generates flies, so now I bury it directly in the soil and let the worms break it down for fertilizer.

Thanks Sunshine ！ I knew it was worm ！ ！

I've been looking into this but we have limited space for a field and I was thinking it would be difficult to make a compost section in addition, but I just saw on Instagram I just found out on Instagram that Dollar Tree has a wire trash can that you can bury in the soil and put cardboard pieces and food scraps in it.

At least it doesn't cost much, so I'll give it a try ！

I see the rotary one has two layers ！ I still think burying it in the dirt might be better for me, since I don't want flies coming in.

I don't want to put it under the eaves because I have to keep it out of the rain after all, like cardboard composting 😓

Fortunately, we have worms in our small field, so I'll ask them to move out a bit from there.

I don't know why on instagram or youtube people post how they do it, but there is so little explanation of what to do and when to do it afterwards that it's hard for the layman to understand.

I have been thinking that it is a waste to throw away the banana peels and the outside of the cabbage (I always throw away 1-2 pieces) after my children eat them every day, but it is very hard to compost them.

I will look into it more ！.

I use a shovel to dig and bury a circle over 20 cm in diameter.
If I cover them with enough soil to hide the garbage and leave them alone, they will decompose before I know it, so I don't even use a box. Shells do not attract flies or insects, so even if you leave them unburied, they will eventually break apart and become fertilizer nutrients, although it will take some time in the sunlight.
All you need is a shovel and some soil, so it is economical, and the soil will become soft, so it can be used to improve the soil.

I bought a wire trash can today because I saw on instagram that if you dig a hole in a field and bury a Dollar Tree wire trash can 🗑️ and put chopped cardboard, soil and fallen leaves in it and put banana peels or something in it and cover it with soil or a lid it will become a worm compost. I bought a cover for a microwave dish because it was the perfect size for it.

I didn't cook today and ate out, so I don't have any garbage, but tomorrow morning I want to dig a hole and bury the garbage directly in the garbage can and for the garbage can.

I was wondering if I should buy a wire trash can from Amazon ＄ I'm glad I did for a little over 1. I guess the wisdom of people who are used to it is amazing in any field.

As for the GC with no renewal, it is legal. You can check it on the Immigration website. So I have never had a problem with custom to enter from overseas including to/from Japan.

Double Kim Man, 70+, I agree with the part about the benefits of citizenship. A long time ago, citizenship was not a benefit and I was not particularly interested in it because I am not rich enough to vote, jury duty, and taxes at the multi-million level, but I honestly feel that the Trump administration's mandates regarding GC retention are a hassle ↪Lo_V162↩(sweat).

It is popular in the used car market because of the large number of units sold. As long as the hybrid battery is OK, you can save money on gasoline and maintenance costs. You can change the transmission oil and do it yourself without changing the filter. The problem is that the generator replacement costs about $6,000 and the hybrid battery replacement costs several thousand dollars, but if you replace the battery yourself, it will only cost a little over $2,000. I can sell it for more than any other car. I guess that means I can sell it for more than other cars, so I'll get my balls out of it.
