Hello.
We are a family with children living in the US.
I will be relocating to Los Angeles next year and would like to discuss the area where we will live.

We are considering
Redondo Beach
Cypress
Rancho Palos Verdes
Torrance
Culver City
El Segundo
I am thinking of

Preferences
• Not too many Japanese
• Some Asian presence
• Easy access to Asian grocery stores
• 6000-7000
• easy access to Century City where I work

From the above points, what is the best area to live ? and what other areas should I look at? !

Also, I know that many people recommend Torrance or Palos Verdes, but how many Japanese people are in each area? Can you tell me how many Japanese are in a class on average?

Thank you !

El Segundo or Culver would be the best choice considering commuting.
The others are far from the freeway.
I don't know the Asian population of North Redondo, Torrance or El Segundo.
Manhattan Beach or Marina Del Rey.

> Families with children living in the U.S.

Does that mean that your children are already living in the U.S.?

I don't know if they are studying abroad, but if so, they would probably be limited to within driving distance

of that school.

> • Asians must be present to some extent

Here in Los Angeles, "Asians" are everywhere, large and small.

> Easy access to Century City, where I commute to work

Morning and evening rush hours can be quite heavy, so

limited to a few miles radius from Century City. It will be limited to a few miles radius from Century City.

Not too far away, just over a mountain to the north, is San Fernando Valley

where I have lived for over 50 years.

Here in the valley, the mountains are about the same size as the hills above and the cool air from the ocean does not come here, so it gets very hot in the summer.

But since there is no humid wind from the ocean, the humidity is extremely low and the temperature is high but not so high that you sweat. However, in summer, the temperature sometimes exceeds 100F (38C).

> It would be limited to about a few miles radius from Century City.

That's what anyone would normally think, even if they are not blessed with the intelligence of a former super elite expatriate like Mr. Double Kin Man.
Why is he even a candidate for Cypress, the next county over 30 miles away? It is like a person relocating to Tokyo renting an apartment in Ibaraki Prefecture. I am also surprised that Century City is not on the list. I would decide on Century City without hesitation.

I lived in WLA. Around here, there are a few Asian students per class, except in some schools.
Considering the morning and evening traffic jams, I think Culver City or El Segundo, as close as possible, would be a good choice. Other potential locations would take more than an hour each way to commute.
As for schools, you can check out Gratschools.
If it is a 4-5 bedroom, it would be a house, and rents are very high these days, so I don't know if you can rent it for $6000-7000.


The El Segundo school district is small and very nice, but too small to have much choice. I am told that it is mostly white.
Because it is a small community, there are few apartments or other rental properties, rents are high, and I think it would be difficult to find a suitable vacant house.

The Culver City school district is also small, but larger than El Segundo, and the schools on the north side are better.
Note that there are places where the address is Culver City but the school district is LASD.
Culver City has always been a predominantly black area, but there are also more Orientals on the north side, and more black as you go south.

The school district near Century City is not a candidate, probably because it is LASD.
LASD also varies quite a bit from school to school, and there are many good schools, so you could live within commuting distance of a school that meets your needs.
However, rent is also higher in the commuting area of good schools.

If you work in Century City, Culver City, West LA, Mar Vista area would be good.
There are Japanese markets and restaurants.
Torrance has a Japanese community and many Japanese, but Culver City, West LA, Mar Vista area has a good mix. ( I also live in this area )

Depending on the age of your children, Culver City has a language immersion school elementary school where you can take classes in Japanese.

Torrance, Rancho PV, and El Segundo use the 405 freeway for commuting, and the northbound route toward Century City is congested in the morning.

Cypress is too far away.

What do Hawaii residents think about watching a video announcing plans to move to Hawaii on a tourist visa ??

The person in this video has many birds, dogs, cats, etc. and has announced his move to Hawaii.
He says he has to make 14 round trips between Japan and Hawaii to bring his pets to Hawaii.
He announced that he will apply for a tourist visa to move to Hawaii.

Several Hawaii residents kindly commented that applying for a tourist visa for immigration purposes is a false application, but he hides them all.

If you repeatedly enter the country during the year, you will always be questioned by customs.
This is because customs suspects that there is an intention to emigrate. Since there are countless people worldwide who make such attempts, customs is on the lookout for them and will eventually take action to deport them. Once you are deported, you will be banned from the U.S. for at least 10 years, so don't worry.

#2 Dear Northshore

I'm a stranger too, so I guess I can leave it alone, but...
This person used to be a hot topic on social networking sites.

He had over 20 pets, including shelter dogs, shelter cats, and birds, and
declared his plan to move to Hawaii on a tourist visa with all his pets.
He said he would make more than 10 round trips between Hawaii and Japan to transport his pets. I think everyone is concerned about the animals, as some of the shelter dogs are old dogs.
I, too, wonder what would happen to the pets left behind in Hawaii if their owners were deported during the migration process. ?

I also have a shelter dog, but I think that owners should stop putting animals at risk because of their ego.

I would respect him if he could move to Hawaii safely with all the animals.

Receipt of inheritance money in Japan

Problem / Need advice

I am having trouble receiving my inheritance in cash because I do not have a bank account in Japan. Since the yen is currently weak, I am not considering sending money overseas from my siblings in Japan to a bank account in the US. I heard that it is difficult for non-residents to open a new bank account in Japan. I am considering opening a foreign currency deposit account here and sending money in yen and letting it sit until the yen appreciates, but it seems that there is a monthly fee. ?
Can someone please address me if there is a best way to do this ? I am a green card holder and my two brothers live in Japan.

Wise is cheaper for low value transfers, but Wise charges at a % of the amount sent, so
if it is 10 or 100 million, the bank is cheaper.

You will probably end up converting to dollars, so you have to think about the exchange fee rather than the shipping cost.
Even at 2 yen per dollar, the bank will take 2 million yen for a million dollars.

If you have recently purchased from cheap Chinese websites such as Temu, please let us know if you received your package safely ? and if you had to pay customs duty ?.

Mail from Japan is supposed to be $ less than 100, so $ my friend sent it to me at about 80.
It was sent by air from Tokyo on Sept. 12, and has stayed in San Francisco until Sept. 16 ~ now.

I bought a mail order from Korea, not from Temu
It usually takes 5 days to arrive, but it took 10 days.
$ I ordered 60, but there was a 15% customs fee added to the order.
$ I thought if it was for personal use within 100 there was no need for customs duty, there was no additional taxation upon receipt.

I'm not from China, so that's not an answer, but
$ even if it's less than 100, they still charge duty.
And Trump is talking about an additional tax on imports from China.

you have to buy a minimum of $30 or $35, so
I shop more at SHEIN these days.
It arrived today, but
it seems that the hub seems to be in the US these days, so it seems to arrive earlier.
I have been able to buy pretty things without any problems so far.

For a big event, Universal Studios in Hollywood

Halloween Horror Nights

https://www. universalstudioshollywood.com/hhn/en/us

They are going to do

But as someone who has been giving candy to neighborhood kids in Halloween costumes at home for over 50 years, I would like to see Kay's kids wear funny costumes if possible, go door to door in residential neighborhoods, knock on doors and yell "Trick or Treat" when the door opens. When the door opens, they should shout "Trick or Treat" to receive candy. I know this would be difficult for foreign visitors with children.

My daughter has been to Knott's Berry twice.

She says the maze is fun.

After 11pm all the lights are turned off and they give you a dim flashlight to walk through the maze.

It may be too scary for small children, but I think they will enjoy it because the park is for small children.

We have a friend coming to visit from Japan with her ( 2 year old ) child.
We are planning to take her sightseeing in our car, but
we don't have a child seat.
I am wondering if I can rent a car seat from somewhere
because it would be a waste to buy one for one or two times use.
Is there any place that rents car seats ?
If you know of any,
I would appreciate it if you could let me know.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

As a matter of fact, there was a kind-hearted person who contacted me directly and said "I will give you a car seat that you no longer use", so I don't have to rent anymore. ^##^)

I'm glad I posted this on BibiNavi.

Thank you very much to the person who gave it to me and to Genki-san for taking the time to check it out ♪
