Nice to meet you
I am an auto mechanic specializing in American cars in Japan for 26 years.
I would like to work as an auto mechanic in the U.S. in the near future.
I cannot give up my childhood dream.
However, I am having a hard time finding a visa sponsor.
If anyone is familiar with the auto maintenance industry in the US, I would appreciate any advice you could give me.
If anyone knows how to find a job and the process of getting a visa, I would appreciate it if you could share the information.

In the name of politics, from the top of the power purchase to the end of the state under the Democratic administration,
the result of the mad rush to make money was the damage to the entire US from New York in the east to Hawaii in the west,
and the pandemic was the worst example of this.
No politician has said anything responsible or regretted it, and there is no doubt that the U.S. is in a terminal state

I had strong memories of the Fellowship House where the Boyle Heights cemetery was located.
First arrived from Japan and was surprised to find the YMCA in Hollywood a gay hangout, then
there was a boarding house after the church and various Japanese.
In the evening, Mexican women would show up, and a raucous evening party would begin.
It is a bitter memory. I paid a two-week depot there, but left the next day to escape.
I guess it's like the setting of Strawberry Fields: 。。。。 I guess not many people know those days anymore 、、、、、 ?

Jews settled in Boyle Heights. The Japanese came in after that.
So the Japanese American Retirement Home was also originally Jewish.
Little Tokyo near Boyle Heights also prospered.
Japanese who were engaged in agriculture also enjoyed eating and shopping in Little Tokyo on Sundays. There was also a movie theater. This was before Ototsan came to LA.

Nice to meet you.

I am relocating to Los Angeles for my husband's work.
I will be working in Burbank and am looking for a place to live within a 30 minute commute. ( Rent can be up to about 7k )
I have children in elementary school and kindergarten, so I am considering a place with a good school district and safety.
We also want them to attend a supplementary school, so it is difficult to find a place with good access ….
I was stationed in Los Angeles for a year before my child was born, so I have a vague idea of the area, but when it comes to school districts, I have no idea, so I refer to sites like Niche.
I am currently considering
La canada, South Pasadena, San Marino, Arcadia, and Encino, Shrman oaks, and Studio city west of Burbank.
As for supplementary schools, we are considering Asahi Gakuen's Santa Monica school.
I know it's really difficult because there are so many conditions …
I would appreciate any advice anyone can give me.
Thank you in advance.

The remedial school is once a week, so I don't think you need to think that much about convenience. I think it is better to give priority to the local school because daily life is more important than that. I can do my best in the remedial school because it is only once a week, but if I fail in the local school, it will be stressful.

Dear Pu New

Thank you very much. It is true that the supplementary school is only once a week. … If the local school is preferred, it seems to be very difficult to choose a school district. I wonder what criteria everyone is using to make their choice ?.

If private school is not an option, but mid-career enrollment is not possible, public school districts would still be La canada, South Pasadena, and San Marino, but racially, LaCanada is quite mixed and may be easier to blend in. There are few rentals in these areas, and it is difficult to find a place that fits your budget. San Marino is almost exclusively Asian, with the overwhelming majority of Chinese among them. If you are not concerned about race, these areas are relatively safe in the vicinity of LA. The Japanese school is only open once a week, though, so I would suggest that you don't prioritize that convenience.

I decided on the school district based on the score. I know it's not just the score, but I avoided it because I believe that if the score is low, there must be a reason for it after all. I also avoided remote areas because I get frustrated if it is too inconvenient for daily life. My friend lives in a great residential area in a very high scoring school district, but she says it's too far to the supermarket, and all the remedial schools and lessons are too far away, so gas prices and stress are maxed out.

That's not true.
I think you are assuming that it is for people who travel ?
I have a Softbank phone and live in the US for a long time.

However, the questioner is probably asking how to receive text messages from Japan on an American cell phone
( with only an American cell phone ) so having another one would be an extra expense.

But some people want certainty over a small expense.

It is a criminal violation of immigration law to enter the U.S. on a legal visa and then stay on after the visa expires.

Israel makes donations to most US congressmen. So, I guess US taxpayer money goes to Israel. The same goes for pharmaceutical companies. Elizabeth Warren, a Democrat, has donated $ 5.2 million and Bernie Sanders has donated a particularly outstanding 1.5 million. Elizabeth Warren, on a congresswoman's salary, is somehow a BILLIONAIRE. 

The Biden Harris administration not only spent the public's tax dollars, but also issued 3.5 trillion in bonds. This amount of money is in a state where the people could not even pay the principal if they worked hard enough.

I am a student and I was working part time but the owner came from Japan on an investment visa and is running a business.
The owner is a bit peculiar, and when a new employee comes in, he immediately quits. He hired a J visa employee from Japan even though it was a small store, and I naturally faded out without being told anything, and eventually resigned on my own.
I went into tax season and asked for my W2Form for 2024, they said they had already sent it to my e-mail, but I never received it.
I asked them to send it again, but no contact at all, and no reply to my message.
I looked it up and they said to contact the IRS or there is a Toll Free number where I can contact them and if I don't receive it by the end of February, my employer will have to pay a penalty.

If you have any information or know anything about this
please let me know thank you 🙇‍ ♀ ️
last resort will be to call the IRS or the number that was listed.

I'm sick of investors from Japan who can't be responsible to the end 😂
I even want to name the store !

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?

In China, plums have been pickled in salt and used as a preservative food since the 3rd millennium BC.
In Japan, it was already used by the nobility during the Heian period (794-1185) to maintain health and prevent disease, and Emperor Murakami cured his illness with a tea made of pickled plums and kelp, making the benefits of pickled plums increasingly well known.
During the Warring States period, umeboshi were used by warriors as a portable food during long military campaigns and expeditions because they could be preserved for long periods of time and were an excellent source of energy, and they were also considered a necessity on the battlefield to relieve fatigue. In the Edo period (1603-1867), umeboshi became widely consumed by the general public and became one of the indispensable foods in the Japanese diet. During the Tenmei Famine, many people died from famine and epidemics throughout Japan, but it is said that almost no one died in the Kishu domain, where pickled plums were used as a preserved food.
Also, when cholera was brought in from overseas and raged as a contagious disease, the people of the time used pickled plums as a remedy, and it is said that the acidic sterilizing effect of pickled plums helped to end the cholera epidemic.
In Japan, umeboshi have been used for more than 1,000 years, and some ume farmers and stores specializing in umeboshi have been in business since the 1800s. ❤️ We should continue to treasure umeboshi.

I was new to animal hospitals so I didn't know the market price. My head was not moving correctly when I made the payment because I was thinking that the hospital bill for humans would be charged too much without insurance, and the fact that dogs do not have insurance was mixed up in my mind, and if I did not pay it, my credit would be bad.
Thanks to this, the people with a thin smile took all the money I had saved to go to Japan. If I had no savings, I might have acted differently. By the way, my dog is fine.

When President Trump visited the area damaged by the fires,
it appears that the governor of the state pleaded with him to get assistance.

It appears that because of the fires, the Governor of California has
set two conditions for the federal government to receive assistance.

1, Voter ID law ( Every voter must provide ID and check to vote )

2, Create reservoirs ( There was no water in the reservoirs during this fire )

This exchange was broadcast statewide. This exchange was broadcast throughout the United States.

A state governor who has a policy of not requiring people to show ID to vote in elections is just crazy, but Democrat supporters are so brainwashed that they won't wake up from their brainwashing when they get a state governor like this elected and burn their own homes.
