I'm Mika and I recently moved to Los Angeles.
The other day a friend asked me a question and I was at a loss for an answer, so I'd like to learn a lot from those of you who have lived in the US for a long time ！
Is there any service or product that you think "I would definitely use this if it existed in Japan" when you live in the U.S. ？

I'm sure there are many ways, but the one that comes to mind is the Toll road （ toll road ） payment system.
You can make an account online and register your credit card and it will be paid automatically even after you pass through.
When I went back to Japan for a long time, I forgot my ETC card and had to pay in cash every time....

I think it has something to do with service, but the return system. Most stores in the U.S. allow smooth returns within about 30 days, even if the item is unboxed.
Shopping in Japan is time consuming because you have to look at the product carefully, touch it, and think about it because you cannot return it.

Mile,

You are right.

Most of the products can be returned "after use" unless they are marked "non-returnable".

I have also returned a large box of reverse osmosis filtration equipment (Reverse Osmosis System), the largest of which would not fit in a passenger car.

However, there are long lines at the return counter at Costco and Walmart. If you are not good at it, you may have to wait in line for more than 30 minutes. But everyone is standing in line with a nonchalant look on their face. It's just like America.

I don't think I should name names, so
I would appreciate your understanding, but
isn't it very difficult to find a Japanese American hair salon in Hawaii and a salon manager
？
I finally found one, but
she suddenly "quit". I would like to go back to the salon if she is working in another salon.
She was working at a salon not far from the Hilton until about March.
If anyone knows her, please let me know.

I was probably in the care of the same person for a long time.
I heard of his retirement just as I was thinking ！ that I had finally found someone I could trust as well.
Her instagram also disappeared and I am wondering if there were some sudden circumstances.
If you are still in Hawaii I would like to know too.
（ sorry for the non-answer ）

.

I returned to my hometown after the birth of my baby, but with a car, it is easy to get to the mountains and the ocean, and there are fewer crowds, so you can let your children play freely.

Deposit not refundable

The owner of the house I moved out of has not refunded my deposit.
It has been over a month since I moved out of my previous house and my deposit has not been refunded.
I have also contacted them on line and have not received a reply.
The owner lives in Japan and I have no address or phone number and am very confused.

What should I do in such a case ？
Also, if you know what to do if the LINE is blocked, please let me know.

Hello.
That is a very troubling situation.
I am an owner renting out a house in Hawaii.
Normally, you are obligated to refund the deposit within 14 days of the end of the contract.
It depends on what the rental agreement says.
If you don't have any contact information other than LINE, you were renting through an acquaintance
？
In the meantime, you should prepare the contract, proof of payment and messages you have exchanged
.
I think it would be a good idea if you prepare the proof of the contract, proof of the payments you have made and the messages you have exchanged .

You may also consult with the following places.
Hawaii Department of Commerce and
Consumer Affairs
General Consumer Affairs （ You can file a complaint online ）

Regulated Industries Complaints Office
Realtors ・ Licensed Contractor Trouble

What omiyage do you recommend for babies?

My sister's son (my nephew) just had a baby and she asked me to buy something for the baby on my next trip back to Hawaii.

When my nephew was born, there were many stores specializing in baby items in Hawaii, so I bought a lot of things every time I went back to Japan, but now everything is available online, and I can't think of what to buy. My next trip back to Japan will be in June, so I will be able to give the baby to a boy, about 2 months old. Do you have any recommendations for omiyage for babies? Please not large items such as strollers, bouncers, etc.

If you are in the baby clothes section of Macy's, you can always find baby clothes at 40% to 60% off.
Unlike Japanese baby clothes, some baby clothes cover all arms and legs and are made to prevent scratching to the face by fingernails, which I think is very useful. In Japan, it is common to put on mittens or socks, so I think similar products are almost impossible to find. If you buy the 6month ones, I think they will last for a while. Also, it is a good idea to look at toys at Target and other places.
You won't get to use them until a little later ….

I am currently living in Ohio with my wife and two children and am considering relocating to Winchester, about an hour and a half from DC to VA. We are thinking of relocating with our family, and would like to know if anyone knows about the Japanese community in the Winchester area or the Leesbrug, Belmont, Ashburn area, and the living environment including public schools ？
If anyone knows anything, please provide us with information. If you know anything about it, I would appreciate it if you could provide me with some information. Thank you in advance.
