I shop at Trader Joe's on the Pacific Coast once a week and have never had to wait in line ？
I've been going there for over 10 years ？ I know it's cheap ？ I think it might be a good souvenir for Japan ？.

Now, I have received a lot of assistance comments here on the information board.

We hope that many of you will also help with that.

ps ； I am worried because the fire is spreading in the Valley area where I used to live.

Even if you can't do Global Entry at the kiosk, I think you will be fine because the immigration officers are always watching at the exit of the kiosk and they will take care of your immigration.　I also did Global Entry at the kiosk in October, but because my Global Entry had expired, I could not complete my entry at the kiosk, and when I was magomagoing, the immigration officer watching at the exit of the kiosk let me through.

Electricity costs don't differ at all depending on the size of the room ？.

OC but higher.　The electric company is being sued because of the fire, so it will be more expensive. Fire insurance also went up.

Questioner.
This is the area we are moving to, but it will be in a colder area in the winter like New York or Chicago.
It would be helpful to hear from anyone who has lived in a room with a Baseboard Heater about the cost of electricity and gas in the winter, including the size of the room and the hours of use.

I thought ？ you could ask the question in the NY or Chicago area of Vivinavi.
I don't know if it's just me, but being from LA, I'm not familiar with Baseboard heater.
You should ask on the information board over there.

It's okay.
Since you are paying for the service yourself
you should ask someone you are comfortable with.
You don't even have to worry about getting into trouble with a fan.

I changed insurance companies several times,
and I am very
glad that I found one that I am satisfied with.

My husband is in the insurance business. My husband once told me that in small Hawaii, there is an unspoken rule that we don't take each other's clients so that we can all stay in business, but that is because we are not allowed to solicit other agents' clients, and it is not acceptable for clients to go back for more satisfaction ）. I think it is justified . However, if the new client is reluctant to change, it is probably because they don't want to do so. If the new client is still reluctant to change, it may be better not to force the change.

I found this by accident.
I am also insured with state farm

I got hit by a car the other day, how do I proceed with the claim
and how do I get the repair money from them ？
I'm having trouble getting a response when I ask.

If you don't mind, can you recommend an Agent ？ ？
I would like to change mine.

College Avenue near Campus is popular among students with many apartments.
The area along College Ave. to Rockridge is relatively safe.
Rockridge is a popular area with many restaurants. The address is Oakland, though.
Basically, the closer you are to Oakland and Richmond, the more careful you should be.
Roughly speaking, South Berkeley is the area following Oakland, and North Berkeley (Berkeley Hills) is a safe residential area.
UC Berkeley is positioned as Central Berkeley.
The area near San Pablo Boulevard, especially on its west side, is not recommended.
Telegraph is the main street from Central Berkeley to Oakland.
Orinda, Lafayette, and Walnut Creek are safe, upscale neighborhoods, but may be inconvenient to get to BART without a car.
If you are thinking of the El Cerrito side, the El Cerrito Plaza station is safer and more convenient.
In that case, Albany is also safe and a popular area for Japanese.
El Cerrito Del Norte is relatively safe on the El Cerrito Hills side, but you should keep in mind that it is next to Richmond.
However, I think the rent is cheaper because of that.

Thank you for the details ！
Since I don't know if I can buy a car right away, I will try to look in the Berkeley area up to around Rockridge and around North Berkeley, Albany and El Cerrito Plaza. I will also try to avoid the west side of San Pablo.
Thank you very much for your help ！ ！

Where is the Kiosk ？
I was able to register my car easily at a machine in Safeway. I paid by credit card.
I thought renewals could not be done at a machine because they take a picture again.

Kiosk is the machine at Safeway. So it is used for car registration ！ Sorry. I am a paper driver so I was quite ignorant. It's true that you have to go to the office to take pictures too. I completely misunderstood that there was a new system during Corona.

Korea is tteok, but it is very different from Japanese rice cakes, so there is no way they make and sell Japanese rice cakes
Well, if you fry them, you might be able to make tteok like Japanese fried rice cakes.

We won't be able to make it this year, but for the future, it would be a good idea to purchase a rice cake pusher. It is easy and fun.

Mochi pounding machine ＞ only for rice cakes, but can make a large quantity at one time
Bread machine ＞ I don't know about expensive machines, but it can make both rice cakes and bread, although you have to do the steaming process elsewhere
It is up to you which one you prefer

I always buy mochi at Chikara Mochi, a Japanese sweets shop in Gardena.
If they have any leftovers before they close, you might be able to buy them at a discount ？
If you ask them about making fried rice cakes, they might be able to help you.

Tea-san ！ I had never heard of a Komochi shop before, and when I looked on YELP, I was even more pleased to see that they serve Komochi at a Japanese-Japanese supermarket. I love Komochi and always buy the soft ones when they are on sale, but lately I haven't seen them in the stores because of bad timing. I'm looking for white rice cakes this time, but this rice cake shop seems to have a lot of beautiful rice cakes, so I'd like to visit there. Thank you ！
