Renewal of passport during temporary stay in Japan after obtaining U.S. citizenship

I know that if you are a US citizen, it is impossible to renew your Japanese passport in the US because you cannot present your green card, but
can you renew your Japanese passport while you are temporarily in Japan for a few weeks ？
I looked on the website, All I need to renew is the passport that is about to expire and an application form.
Since it takes 7 days from application to receipt, is it theoretically possible to renew my Japanese passport during my temporary stay, even after
obtaining US citizenship?

*I know that I lost my Japanese nationality when I acquired US citizenship, and that checking "no other nationality" when renewing is a false application, so
I am not seeking such an answer. I am asking if it is possible to renew or not.

Water leak in apartment

I moved in in April and recently used the air conditioner for the first time, and after turning it off, water leaked onto the floor. However, he did not come to see me right away. In the meantime, the leakage has been getting worse and worse, and water is even seeping out between the boards of the flooring. I noticed yesterday that there was mold growing in the closet and the clothes smelled musty, so I took out everything inside. It has been almost 3 weeks since I first reported it, and as I expected, they will be coming to look at it around today, but honestly, I don't want to be in this room anymore. Is it possible to complain to the manager and rent another room in the apartment ？?

Showa Ototsan is a famous hare. If you take what he says seriously, you will be in trouble.

With so much water leaking out, and with every minute that counts, complaining to the government is a waste of time.

What you should do immediately is to go to the manager and declare that if he does not repair the leak, we will repair it and deduct the cost from your rent, which is a tenant's right called Repair and Deduct. The manager will probably be in a hurry to arrange for the repairs to be made. It does not mean that you will actually do the repairs. Do not be fooled by the Showa Otto. He is a cowardly harasser who pretends to give gentle advice.

Thank you all for your advice. The air conditioner has a high vent and the main unit （ ？ ） is on the wall right between the bathroom and the bedroom, and it looks like water is coming from under the floor there and in the area. I just talked to the manager and he said that he has made arrangements with a contractor and that he will be able to fix it by the end of the week. I have taken pictures of the mold and the puddle of water from the leak, just in case.

I work in a restaurant.
I would appreciate it if you could give me some definitions about 10 minute breaks and 30 minute breaks ！

because I have never been allowed to take a break at the restaurant I currently work at. I didn't think much of it before, feeling that it was just a break, but the other day I was checking my work hours and found that I had been given several 30 minute breaks that I had never taken, and they were exploiting my pay. Of course, I checked with the president, and later he said, "I found out the cause and will pay you the amount that was deducted.

I was shocked, because it was normal to pay, but there was not a single word of apology, nor any reason for the 30-minute break I had taken the liberty of putting on.

I haven't thought about suing yet, but I wanted to write here to make sure I understand the law.

I would appreciate it if someone could tell me more about this.
I would also like to know if there are any specialists whom I can consult ！ .

I believe they had to pay an extra hour for each 30 minute meal break or 10 minute break they did not take as a penalty.
You should check out sites such as Labor Department for more information, and even if you don't intend to sue, you should consult an attorney or other legal counsel.

I had the flu in January of this year and was treated by Urgent Care. In April, I called the hospital and they acknowledged their mistake and said they would stop billing me, but the other day I received a letter from the collection agency asking me to pay that amount. I contacted the hospital again and admitted the mistake, but the operator could not help me and asked me to contact the agency from my end. I sent the hospital bill, receipts, and credit card payment details by letter, but the same demand letter is coming again. What should I do ？

＞ It depends on how much, but if you can afford it, you can pay it. It's frustrating, though.

No one pays double even if they can afford it. That's awesome advice.

The collection agency is a proxy for the hospital, so I don't think they can do anything that the hospital doesn't tell them to do.

I have had this happen a few times, but in my experience, I asked the hospital to withdraw the claim and they did it immediately. It works better if you write to the hospital in writing, not by phone, ＜ that you have already paid the bill and that you will file a Complaint with the California Medical Board ＞ ＜ if they do not withdraw the bill within XX days.

If you overpay the hospital, you may get a refund, but if you pay the Agency, you may not get it back.

I think it's a scam, the latest fad. Once you do a google search for the collection agent's address and phone number, you'll get the general idea.

Social networking sites were maliciously exposed.

Recently, I received a message out of the blue from a social networking site
threatening to tell my family about this social networking site.
It was from a woman that my husband and I know and our children know. Her name is a fake name, but she knows our family's name.
I have been told and exposed to things on that social networking site that are not true.
I am so angry why she is doing this to us as fellow parents with children.
I consulted my legal advisor who told me that it is possible to identify the individual and go to court and win 100% of the cases. I asked the lawyer to do all the work because there is a lot of process involved in identifying the individual.
We paid the attorney a $2500 initiation fee.
I know this is the end of our relationship with this family, but we have to do this to protect their honor.
I would not go to court if they would recognize the seriousness of the situation and apologize to me, but
I think that would be impossible since they were completely amused by the contents of the e-mail and called me a "you".
Please be aware that there can be extraordinary people around you all.

I've been trying to get a reservation from Corona for a long time, but I can't seem to get one looking more than a year ahead. When I call, I am told to enter the access code.
Is there any chance I could eat if I wait outside the restaurant waiting for a reservation to be cancelled ？.

A friend of mine is coming to Japan from the U.S. and I asked him ？ to buy two sets of towels
and he said I was insane to ask for such things when they are so big.

I became a little uncomfortable.

I asked him how many suitcases he might bring and he just asked me
isn't it rude to be insane ？

he should have just said sorry we can't fit your luggage in there. What do you think ？?

SCAN insurance is health insurance, and BLUECROSS is a major health insurance company and has nothing to do with fire insurance.

High blood pressure in the elderly, measures

Question for the elderly.

I take prescription high blood pressure medication.

However, even with the medication, if I am not careful, it rises.


So, this question is about seasonings.

Soy sauce is 6 grams （ for women ） and that is Net information.

6 grams means a teaspoonful

Is this correct ？ It is a very small amount.

I don't want to complain about it being too little,

I want to know what is right.

What other things do you do for your blood pressure

on a daily basis for the elderly, other than eating?

If you have any recipes that are low in salt and still delicious, please let us know.

Thank you very much _ <m(__)m>
