Conversion of checks upon return to Japan

This is about refunds for electricity, apartment security deposits, etc. due to a move.

I am requesting a US based agent to receive checks and other mailings upon my return to Japan.
For checks under 5,000 $ I was sent a PDF of the check and was able to redeem it on the US bank app, but if it exceeds the limit, I cannot redeem it on the app.

Does anyone know how to redeem these cases ？?

For checks over $5,000, you can still cash them at a bank, but there might be a hold on the funds for a few days1
. Here are some options:Visit the Issuing Bank: Go to the bank that issued the check (the bank of the person who wrote the check). This can sometimes expedite the process1
.

Your Bank: If you have an account, you can deposit the check there, but be aware there might be a hold on the funds1
.

Check Cashing Services: Places like ACE Cash Express, Check Into Cash, or Money Mart can cash large checks, but they may charge a fee1
.

Retail Stores: Some large retailers like Walmart offer check cashing services1
.

It's a good idea to call ahead and confirm their policies and fees. Do you have a preference for any of these options?

A local community center or senior center might be a good start. They may have volunteers and staff who speak Japanese. Searching the Internet is also a good way to find out more. A search for "Torrance Japanese social worker" should turn up several resources. You might also look for programs and support groups especially for seniors.

Do you have any recommendations for a new teacher who is currently receiving psychological counseling in Hawaii ？ I would prefer a Japanese-speaking teacher, but if it is difficult, an English-speaking teacher would be fine.

I have a lot of anxiety in my life and I have to do a lot of checking in my daily life.
Was your insurance covered （ We are HMSA ） and we would be happy to hear about your experience with fees.

Also, I have lived in Hawaii for almost 10 years now and have little trouble making a living, but with the rising cost of living, I am very concerned about my vague future and not being financially independent. But now I have a small child and working full time is difficult ・ ・. Even a few years after childbirth, I somehow don't feel better all the time.

I have few friends and no one to talk to about my true feelings.
If you have experienced anxiety like mine, I would appreciate it if you could share how you overcame it.

My rent is going up and up, and it won't be long before I won't be able to pay it.

I am so sorry for your loss. I know it is hard.
A few years ago, there was a Japanese-speaking counselor at HMSA's online counseling service.
I think it was Arika, sorry, I don't remember her name. I believe her insurance covered all the expenses.
I think she may still be there ？, so please look for her on her own page on HMSA.

Since you are post-partum, is there any possibility of a hormonal imbalance ？ You could consult your doctor.
I have had severe PMS and have been given something like a light stabilizer.
They may be able to refer you to a counselor. Take care of yourself.

About 10 years ago,
I felt the same way.

I was full of stress from raising my children, and anxiety about the future.

I had a counselor, Setsuko Yano, but to use HMSA insurance, I first had to get a referral from my family doctor (I think it was my gynecologist)
I think up to 12 visits were free.

Just getting them to listen to you makes a lot of difference.
My son was 1 year old at the time, but I took the plunge and started working full time with him in day care before he turned 2.
The salary and day care cost about the same,
maybe even red.

But I have benefits, and looking to the future, I am very glad I worked.
The amount of pension in the future will be very different.

Take care of yourself.

Some people moved to
Japan, Texas, and Las Vegas because Hawaii didn't suit them and they were stressed.
Before Corona, but they can afford a house
because the cost of living is cheaper than Hawaii and the salary is better.
It's really too expensive to pay rent in Hawaii
so if you can't afford a house in Hawaii, you should consider moving
.

I hope you can talk to a counselor before you do that.

Nutritional information on dried sardines sold in Hawaii

I found Japanese dried sardines at a supermarket in Hawaii, but the nutritional information says 0% vitamin D. I thought dried sardines were vitamin D and calcium, but that's what the English nutritional information says.
I thought dried sardines were vitamin D and calcium, but that's what the English description says, and the Japanese nutritional information didn't specifically mention vitamin D.

I just translated the Japanese description ？ or does it mean 0% in 100 grams for example ？

Is there vitamin D in dried sardines or not ？
sorry. I know this is a boring question, but please comment if you know something ！.

I am looking for an English conversation class to learn everyday conversation.
I went to ELS to register, but they are full and said the next class will probably be in November or December.
Please let me know if you can recommend any classes.

I've been in Las Vegas for about 2 months now, 7/8.

To be honest, the conversation is stressful and I feel like going back home.
I would like to hear from others who have been in the same situation.
Thank you for your time.

I also went to ESL → CSN, but to be honest, I think you can improve your English much better by working than studying at school
I don't know what kind of visa you are on, but I think you can work in a Japanese restaurant without needing to be fluent in English at first （ I think you can get a good job with your usual phrase. I think you will be able to work in a Japanese restaurant without needing to be fluent in English at first. （ It is difficult to understand detailed nuances even if you spend a lot of time, and if you don't know history or common knowledge, you can't understand jokes or explanations ）
At first, just the minimum you can live with, but gradually you can make friends （ who understand that you are not good at English ） and can have daily conversation. 966> The trick may be to make friends with people who understand that you are not good at English.

This is my third free ESL class to give me a reason to get out of the house as I am not working due to EAD yet. Library → North west career college → CCSD （ Currently ）.
The library was the best of the three and I plan to return to the library for November registration, but the ESL at the library has become so popular that I failed two terms of registration on the web because I had to go to the library in person on the day I registered for classes to make a reservation.

In ESL, I don't feel like my conversation skills are improving because I am only learning how to read and write and my conversation is with other students whose English is poor. Also, my classmates are almost all Latino, so I sometimes feel out of place in class.

In addition to ESL classes, there is a Japanese conversation meetup group on Facebook and meetup every Thursday night from 6pm-9pm.
This is a group of native English speakers who are good at Japanese and want to learn. It's a great way to exchange Japanese and English, and I highly recommend it, but for some reason I haven't been able to join recently.

I hope this will be helpful. Please email me if you want to know more.
I would be very happy to meet Japanese people in ESL class.

I will be returning to Japan for the first time with my child, who is from Hawaii and has both a Japanese and an American passport, but I was wondering if I should use my Japanese name (my family name) or my American name (my husband's family name) when booking a ticket for my child.
I understood that I need to use my US passport for entering and leaving the US and my Japanese passport for entering and leaving Japan, but I was not sure which name I should use to book my ticket.

Our family had only made American passports until the pandemic in Corona, but when only Japanese nationals were allowed to enter the country in Corona, we made Japanese passports for the first time. Since my Japanese name is different from my U.S. name, I asked the airline I was using and was told to book my flight to Japan under my Japanese name. When I leave Japan, I use my Japanese passport, and when I enter the U.S., I use my U.S. passport. You should ask the airline company you will be using.
