I am having trouble choosing a daycare for my 3 year old.
Stella , Polaris , Nishi Honganji Daycare and Higashi Honganji Daycare … I would like to visit each of them. I have looked at the websites of all of these schools, but there are some things that are not clear from those websites, so I would appreciate it if someone who has had children attend these schools could give me some information. I know you are all busy, but I would appreciate it if you could give me some information.

No matter how many you are, you can retire early.

You could live anywhere in the world, playing sundaes every day.

You could live in resorts around the world, relaxing and playing Sundays every day
and selling information to Japanese TV stations.

there are ways to make money while playing.

If you have anything to say or questions, please feel free to write.
I'll try to write "something" as well.

What means do you use to call when you return to Japan?

Which seat on the plane do you prefer, Aisle or Window, front, back,

Which airline do you think has the best food?

Which mode of transportation do you use to get to the local area?

I have a Mizuho Bank account, but I had to go to the head office in Tokyo to exchange my money. When I tried to exchange it at a local exchange, they charged me 3 yen per dollar.

If you live in the U.S., you can open an account with a brokerage firm called Interactive Broker and convert your money from dollars to yen at the current exchange rate without any fees, and send it to your Japanese account in Japanese yen. is an international brokerage firm, so you can have your account funds in dollars, Canadian dollars, or yen in each currency.

I'm back from Japan

yesterday.

I don't even know what to write as I am still in the late stages of aging and jet lagged.

I was walking mostly in Shikoku again.

The only time I hung around in Tokyo was on the last day.

But the flight between LAX and HND was painful.

I suggested to my wife that we fly business class or at least premium economy since this might be the last time we fly to Japan, but

she lightly rejected the idea and we were stuck in the cramped pure economy seats.

The only comfortable seat would be on the trip to Anoyo.

About electronic pianos available at Costco in Japan

I know this is a question for an American forum ? but how do you say "88 keys, weighted" electronic piano in Japan ? I would like to buy one from Costco in Japan if possible. I live in the U.S., but this is a gift for a family member in Japan as a celebration.

I understand 88 keys, but is "weighted" the piano touch in Japan? I would like to buy a piano that I can use for a while, so that I don't have to buy a new electronic piano when I start taking piano lessons.

Thank you very much.

Hello.
I am currently using a Roland FRP sold at Costco.
I also play classical piano, so I think I can help you.

First of all, there are many types of electronic pianos.
Weighted means that the keys are weighted like a real piano. This is for people who want to learn piano seriously like a classical piano.
However, the weighted keys may be tiring at first. That being said, the best thing about the weighted electronic piano is that with practice you can express delicate sounds.
So if you want to focus on "playing" the piano, I would recommend weighted.

I don't know much about piano touch, but I think it is the ability to change the volume of the sound depending on how hard you press the keys.

If you are just starting to make music, you don't really need the weighted feature. Instead, we recommend a "keyboard" that can produce sounds from a variety of sources and instruments.
It does not have the weight of an electronic piano, but it specializes in "inserting sounds into a music application," which is essential for music creation. It can produce not only piano sounds, but also drums, guitars, and almost any instrument sound you can think of, and you can put them into applications such as a computer to make music.
However, as I mentioned earlier, it doesn't have the "weight" of a real piano, so it is not suitable for practice.

Most electronic pianos fall into these two categories.

If you want to learn to play the piano, we recommend this electronic piano.
https://www.costco.com/roland-frp-2-acr-digital-piano-bundle.product.4000186636.html
I use it and it has a lot of accessories.

I recommend this keyboard for people who want to make music on a computer or other devices.
https://www.costco.com/casio-ct-x700-premium-portable-keyboard-bundle.product.100779619.html
It has 61 keys, but it has 600 instruments and sound sources. It has 61 keys, but it has 600 instruments and sound sources.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

I thought I could get divorced anytime if I really got sick of it
but when I realized that I would be happier if I did, I made up my mind


My partner started to get angry as usual over trivial things
I was already fed up with his anger and started to let it slide He didn't like it and his tirade escalated further

You know, it's worth it.
I was just letting it go with a cold attitude, thinking that it would happen again
He didn't like it and escalated his rant further He even told me you're a worthless person
You bitch, go fuck yourself


I was laughing so hard! <1266> I was already laughing
This level of anger and ranting comes rather regularly

By the way, the reason for the fight was that my partner was asking me the same thing over and over again, as if he had dementia, and I was slightly annoyed
and said, "I heard that earlier.
I said in disgust, "I've heard that before..." And he goes so far as to say I'm crazy

I've been dealing with his personality for almost 20 years now
It's not every day that he ruins your day off like this!
I'm not young anymore and I want to live peacefully
I've come to the conclusion that I can't live with this person forever

I felt like I've been in this situation many times
but this time I've finished getting rid of all the stuff around me smoothly
I finished disposing of everything with my feelings during this holiday

When I thought I was going to be alone, I suddenly wanted to do something
I can't sleep because of all the thoughts
I realized once again that I've been holding back my life

I've been holding back my life for a long time.
Thanks for your rant
I finally made up my mind to be free

According to the Baseball Channel, Fletcher, who was one of his closest friends during his time with the Angels, has also been accused and an investigation has begun.
It was also discovered that Ohtani actually speaks English more fluently than expected, making it even less plausible that he had no knowledge of the gambling scandal, according to the report.

Change of Address at DMV

Problem / Need advice
#1
  • Ai

  • 2024/01/06 00:53

I am embarrassed to admit that this is a very rudimentary question, but I am looking for help.

I went to the DMV website to make the change, but there are two options for change of address
・ Driver's license or ID
・ Vehicle or Vessel
This is the same as the Vehicle or Vessel option. Driver's license or ID Vehicle or Vessel I was wondering if I should also select Vehicle or Vessel and change both ?
I was thinking in general that I could change the address on the DMV registration, so I am not sure, ?
Also, I will be changing my address for my car insurance later.

Just to give you some background,
we recently got married and are in the process of applying for a green card, but we don't plan on living together for a while due to our work schedules.
We consulted a lawyer and he told us to change our address registration for bank, DMV, car insurance, etc. to prepare for the green card interview.

By the way, my marriage partner does not have a car and driver's license, which sadly does not help much.
I would appreciate it if someone could answer my question when you have a chance. Thank you in advance.

Noise from brakes ・ The cause of the squeal is most likely wear and tear of the brake pads. Brake pads are gradually worn away by friction with the brake disc each time the brakes are applied. When the friction material is scraped away and the metal part of the brake pad is exposed, the metal rubs against metal, causing an unpleasant squealing sound. However, please be assured that the noise does not mean that the pads are completely gone. Brake pads are equipped with a metal part called a pad wear indicator, which is intentionally designed to squeak at an early stage to indicate wear. There is no medicine for the fools above.

Brake squeal is a strange noise coming from the brakes.

Normal brake squeal is just a quiet "soo ・ ・ ・ ・" braking sound, but a braking sound generated when the brakes are depressed, such as "squeal ・ ・ ・ ・", "go ・ ・ ・ ・" or "clunk clunk" sounds may indicate a problem with the disc brake or drum brake.

A strange noise that is immediately noticeable while driving is worrisome, and if left unchecked, there is a danger that the brakes will stop working.

If there is brake squeal or abnormal noise, there is a need to determine the cause as soon as possible.
