Do you think more people have engage in adultery more afte the pandemic since people were home more often?

Not gonna lie. Not really happy in my marriage but can’t divorce my wife. Is there a lot of Japanese married women that engage in adultery? How and where do they look if I would assume most work from home or take care of the home?

It's been quite a while since the pandemic.
There's been a temporary increase in working from home, but not nearly back to where it was before the pandemic ?

And I don't understand how it makes sense that if people stay home more often, there will be more infidelity.

Nagaoka Fireworks from where?

I am planning to go see the Nagaoka Fireworks this weekend.
I know it's best to watch from Waikiki, but I'm worried about traffic restrictions, parking, etc. since I'm coming from Eva.
Is there a place where we can park our car and enjoy the fireworks even if it is a little far away ?
I can't go early because of my child, so if I want to see them in Waikiki, should I park somewhere far away ( downtown or ? ) and take a bus? ? I guess.

I think you should definitely see it on Waikiki Beach ! I think it should be in the center of the beach around the Hyatt.
It's worth it. !
It's very powerful because you go up from the ocean in 3 boats.

Why don't you shop at Target or get a validation ? check it out yourself.

Dear Coral Reef, Beach, Funfun, and Funfun, I am sorry to thank you all at once. I guess it's special to see the fireworks from Waikiki.
I was under the impression that the fireworks would be shot off around the same area as the Hilton fireworks.
I was worried about finding a parking space since we will arrive around 8:00 p.m., but if there is no space at Ala Moana, I will try to park a little farther away and watch the fireworks in Waikiki. Thank you very much.

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.

I have heard that the probability of an airplane crash is lower than that of a car accident, and even if the plane shakes, there are announcements saying that the plane is flying through the air currents and that it will shake, but that it will be okay, so I don't worry about it. I think the key is to relax and let the shaking take control of your body. You feel the same way when you ride in a car on a rickety road, don't you? When an airplane takes off, it is less stressful on your body if you are relaxed.

Thanks for the advice.
relax and don't be rigid ! same as a rickety road !
I know. I read somewhere that the chances of a plane crashing are lower than winning the lottery, almost zero.
There are so many planes flying a day that you can't even count them.
Flight attendants and pilots would not take such a risky job, would they?
Thank you.

Numbness after blood draw

Problem / Need advice

I had blood drawn 5 days ago and still have some pain and numbness in my arm, palm and fingers.
My blood vessels are said to move and I often bleed internally after blood draws
This is the first time I have felt numbness.
I am also concerned that it took longer than usual to draw the blood.
If the numbness persists after a week of observation, I will consult a doctor.
If anyone has had a similar experience and has any advice, please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

I had a similar experience when I donated blood two or so years ago, and I still have some numbness in my arm.

The person taking the blood at that time forced the needle in very hard and it hurt a lot. And I think it took longer than usual.
I remember feeling numbness after a few days, but I waited, thinking it would go away. But in the end, it has not healed.
Now there is no way to prove it, so I have no choice, but if I could have, I would have checked with the person in charge and verified the facts.

In Mercury's case, since she has only just woken up, I think it would be a good idea ? to see the doctor as soon as possible or to confirm the facts at the time of blood collection if possible, based on my experience.

Anyway, I think the best scenario is to get back to normal, and I wish you a speedy recovery.

Thank you for your comment.
Is the numbness still there after 2 years ・ ・ ・
If it continues, I will just have to live with the numbness as if it was bad luck.
I am just going to ask for the name of the person in charge.

Nice to meet you. Hello.

I myself have lived without a dentist for years, but I finally saw a dentist recently because of discomfort in my gum nerve.

I started with a deep cleaning first though.

It was like gouging the root of the tooth, but I didn't feel any pain.

Sometimes the scaler would sting a little.

I didn't feel any pain after the cleaning, and my teeth felt clean, so I was personally glad I did it.

Just for reference.

I recently had a deep cleaning of my teeth for the first time in my life. I had anesthesia and did a great gouging and went all the way down to the inside of my gums. My gums were sore for a few days afterwards. But then I noticed that the pain was gone. I don't have alveolar pyorrhea, but I'm getting old and have a dry mouth, so I've gone from not even having tartar on my teeth to having to have deep cleanings. Come to think of it, I haven't had a cleaning in the last two years.

I'd love to do it, but I can't do it with insurance because I don't need it, so I only do maintenance cleanings. If it bleeds, it sounds like dirt buildup and inflammation or something like that.

I had it done once over 10 years ago and it felt good to clear my mouth.

I did it under anesthesia. My husband
did it without anesthesia.

If you want to buy weapons from other countries and go to war with them, fine, but
you should not pay for the weapons you receive because you are not the same as the U.S. that has been

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.

I wondered if that was the case, so I got Danna involved and looked into it.
I asked an attorney who knows Danna, and he said, "Chartering a car and giving a ride to a person is considered a travel business, so you need to report it to a travel agency.
Anyway, he said that the law is very strict when it comes to the transportation of people.
The reason seems to be "for safety because there are always dangers such as accidents when people move" and "for consumer protection against fraud and breach of contract".
The law is stricter than the law for private tours, because it says, "Penalties will be imposed if you don't write your registration number on all advertisements.
"If you don't report it, there's nothing you can do if you get in trouble and run away," I was told.
Indeed.

Indeed, it is a surprising content. As you say, the necessary business licenses and registrations are required to operate a legitimate tour business. When advertised in the form of "private individual private tours," it is not uncommon for them to operate without the proper credentials or permits. Especially in popular tourist destinations such as Los Angeles, there can be a mixture of illegal services targeting tourists.

One reason for the existence of these illegal services may be that consumers have difficulty recognizing them and they are easily accepted as a less costly option. However, if a problem or accident should occur, there is a risk of not receiving proper compensation. To answer that nephew's question, the best advice would be to say that it is important to carefully check the business license and registration information of the service you are using. It is also safe to choose a company with reliable official tourist services and reviews. Although the image of "Japanese people follow the rules" is certainly strong, it is also true that in reality there are differences among individuals. As time goes by, the tourism industry and consumer choices may be changing.

Just because they are operating with a business license, it is another story whether the staff there is trustworthy or not.

For small amounts, WISE use is a good choice, but for larger amounts, the fees are lower from the bank.
If the amount exceeds 1.1 million yen per year, the recipient will be subject to transfer tax on the excess amount.

I put it in my brother's Sony Bank foreign currency deposit ( at a good rate ) and he sends me monthly living expenses from there.
If it is properly used for living expenses, there is no gift tax.
For example, if the money sent is not used by the parents and is saved, it is considered to be a "transfer of assets, not living expenses" and gift tax may be incurred. Please be careful not to send large sums of money in one lump sum.

For large amounts, bank transfers can only be sent in several installments, each time incurring a fee
WISE can send the money in one shot, so it's cheaper.

Is it possible to put the money into a foreign currency deposit in my bank account that I left in Japan and have my family card withdraw it from there ?
Even though it is my own account, I am not sure how much it will cost since it is from overseas. I don't know how much it would cost, since the money is transferred from overseas, even though it is my own account.
