My nephew in Japan asked me, "Is it safe to use private tours in Los Angeles ？?
I was surprised to find some pages that clearly did not have a business license.
I asked the president of a tour company I know, and he said, "All the ones that don't have a permit are illegal.
I thought Japanese people follow the rules, but I guess this is the times we live in.

So you're going to buy not only an iphone 6 but a larger screen one and give that away too ？
Then give away two new and two old ！ Then great, kind. Please be more cool.

1805 If you compare "people who whine and whine all the time," it's because they glow differently.

1806 It's hard to care about what Showa Otto does.

1807 AirPods and Apple Watch all included
I'll donate to the maintenance man and I'll wait for the donation.

1801 If it is in your hand, it is yours
If it is in the other person's hand and out of your hand, it belongs to the young man in the maintenance shop.

It is what a higgledy-piggledy person does if it is in the other person's hands and unclaimed.

You lie and you get ripped off.

Earphones and cell phones are delusions, and in three days they will be beyond the reach of the blind.

Oh, poor old man!

Those of you who have crossed the ocean to come here to Los Angeles and Japan
are always concerned about something related to your travel between Los Angeles and Japan.

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

Example ：
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?

and so on and so on

You may substitute the vajra cane used in the pilgrimage.

If you can't use your head, you can't use your head more.

When you go on a pilgrimage,
you should carry as little luggage as possible.
The "hyakuroi" (white robe) （ is also called "shiroshoku" (white clothing),
the same as the "death clothes" worn when one dies,
and the back of the hyakuroi also has writing on it
so if you carry a backpack on your back, you are a punished person. And
carry as little luggage as possible.

Walking with a vajra cane will protect your feet and legs because the load of your weight is distributed on the cane when you walk.

↑ If you watch youtube of the pilgrimage, you won't see anyone
carrying a big backpack on their back.
I'm doing this with as little luggage as possible, so I'll substitute what I can.
Check before you write, so you won't be smug. Enjoy your solitude.

＞ You may substitute the vajra cane used for the pilgrimage


"My life is a pilgrimage", but the plan for the JR Japan round trip is a different journey from the pilgrimage that does not enter Shikoku. Therefore, I will not carry any pilgrimage equipment.

However, we will stay one night in Wakkanai, and there is a temple called "Koyasan Saiboku Daishi Shingonji" located 15 minutes on foot from the station, so we may visit this temple with only our pilgrims' white robe and rangesa, which will not get in the way.

We are checking to see if there are other temples we can visit in the area where we will be staying.

＞ ＞ You might try substituting the vajrasana used in the pilgrimage

＞ ↑ Punitive af.


I believe that it is not a punishment to use the vajra for other purposes without damaging it. For example, to use it as a selfie stick, why not use a screw to drill a hole in the cane to hold a small head on a tripod? I have a GoPro camera attached to a rigid walking stick, and I put a camera fixing screw on the bottom of a plastic bottle of the right diameter, cut the other end off, and put it over the end of the stick so that I can take selfies from front to back as I walk.

As the characters "同行二人\" are written on the staff, it is said that the vajra staff is an incarnation of Odaishi-san and that it is always walking with Odaishi-san to protect you during your pilgrimage.

I have a very sweet Asian boyfriend, but I get the impression that he is not thinking about our future or becoming a family. I am not sure if I want to marry him or not due to our different values. I am feeling impatient because of my age since I am not young, but it is also very difficult to meet Japanese people here in America. I am not sure if I can go out with him. I am not sure if it is safe to go out with a Japanese person.　Has anyone else experienced something similar?

It's almost spring break and my family and I are planning to travel to Sydney and the Gold Coast.
But I have a phobia of airplanes and even a slight tremor makes me cry … I am looking forward to the trip because I heard that the Oceania area is very bumpy, but I am more scared than that …
I have heard that the Honolulu line is often bumpy, but I have never been that afraid of it.
I would appreciate it if you could give me some advice on how to ease my fear, whether you have a phobia of flying or you fly a lot and don't feel scared at all when the plane shakes. I wonder why there is no one around me who is scared. I wonder if it is safe even if it shakes a lot.
I have a phobia of airplanes, but I still take airplanes.

How many elderly people of Japanese descent are living in LA? We would be happy to be a place of rest and relaxation for the elderly who use the Koryu Hiroba. We think the eligibility is from 65 years old and up.

Early elementary school students What are you doing during spring break ？?

Spring break is coming up, what are you guys doing ？

My husband is working, so we are spending time together as mother and daughter. But every time we spend it, we don't really do anything special and I feel like it's a waste of time.

My daughter has calmed down since she started elementary school, so I think it would be nice to go away, but I am worried about her, so we always end up not going.

How do you all spend your time ？?

DMV License Renewal

I am an expatriate on an E2 visa and my driver's license expires in May, but I still have not received a renewal notice letter from the DMV.
I haven't received my renewal letter, but I'm thinking of going to the DMV to renew, but looking on the internet, there are many people who took the written test for renewal and others who renewed without taking the written test.
I don't know what the heck is the right thing to do, so if any of you E2 pizza people have recently renewed, please share your experiences with me. Thanks in advance for your help.
