I used to live in the U.S. but have returned to Japan.
I am now a "nonresident alien with employment income in Japan and rental income from real estate in the U.S.".
Please let me know which navigational software I can use for tax return under these conditions ！ ！
"Turbotax" and "Sprintax" were not available.
Thank you very much.

Hello, In your case, you should not use tax software as an international case. you need CPA as IRS can go after you even many years later as it happened to my Ex. I live in Beverly Hills, and my friend is over 30 years of experienced&trustable CPA in West LA.

If you'd like to know more, please contact me, I'll introduce him to you. please contact me, I'll introduce him to you.

I am going back to Japan next month for around 2 months and until now I have been renting a pocket WiFi from HIS.
My cell phone is a cheap contract company so it does not work as a phone in Japan. Please let me know if there is any method you guys use when you return to Japan for a long period of time. Thank you in advance.

Thanks for the quick information. My phone is an iPhone 11 64GB. Like Mr. Koji, I can only insert one SIM card. Just yesterday I changed my contract to SPECTRUM and now I have eSIM. I would appreciate it if you could let me know if it is possible to use an eSIM and a physical SIM card to support a Dual SIM, as Koji-san said. If I can't use my US phone number while in Japan, I don't think it will be a problem, so I am planning to buy a data SIM card for Japan from Amazon in Japan. Thank you for your continued support.

LoveKihei,

I'm an android user myself and iPhone is a bit of a challenge, but
according to the Apple information below, iPhone 11 will have dial support with eSIM and physical SIM.
（ My phone does not support eSIM （ crying ） ）

https://support.apple.com/ja-jp/guide/iphone/iph9c5776d3c/ios#:~:text=%! E4%BB%A5%E4%B8%8B%E3%81%AE%E3%83%A2%E3%83%87%E3%83%AB%E3%81%A7%E3%81%AF%E3%80%81%E3%83%87%E3%83%A5%E3%82%A2%E3%83%AB,eSIM%E3%82%92 %E4%BD%BF%E7%94%A8%E3%81%A7%E3%81%8D%E3%81%BE%E3%81%99%E3%80%82

Also Spectrum's plan, a quick check shows the following for international travel
https://www.spectrum.com/mobile/plans/international

If you enter "Japan" in the "Calling and Data Rates by Destination" field, you will get the rates while in Japan.
Talk Talk Calling and Data Rates by Destination Talk $ 0.05 / min, Text $ 0.02 intl, Data $ 0.01 per mb.
1 GB = 1000 MB, so $ 10 / GB, which is rather expensive.

The detailed settings are probably on the Apple site above, but
Make sure your data communication is through a physical SIM purchased in Japan, and
be careful not to be charged by Spectrum for data communication through an eSIM. Please be careful not to be charged by Spectrum for data communication via eSIM.

Thanks for the info.
I used to be a T-Mobile customer about 10 years ago, but being a cheater, I am now a SPECTRUM customer because of the price. In the future, I will check not only the price but also the service content carefully before signing a contract. Thank you very much.

I am planning to study abroad near Torrance from the end of July to the end of August this year, but I don't know how to find a homestay.
Since I will only be there for one month, I would like to go to an adult school without an F1 visa, and I would like to experience cross-cultural exchange and communication in English with a homestay family.
I have heard from people that it is difficult to find a homestay family for a short period of time,
・ I would like to know how to find a homestay family
・
or how to look for one in [VIVINAVI]. （ ; ; ）

I am in my fourth year of university. I would like to study abroad （ for the rest of my university life, which I have not had a chance to do so far ） for the purpose of sightseeing and interacting with people with different values, cultures and languages
even for a short period of time. I know it is difficult to improve my English in a short period of time.
（ I have been listening to the same TED speech dozens of times, but I would really like to know if there are any other study methods I should try before I go ！ ！ ）

Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated. I would appreciate any advice or comments ！.

I recently came to Hawaii again and was amazed.
Prices have become so high that I can't even pay my rent with a regular job.
Homelessness has increased dramatically
There is a shortage of police, buses, and tour drivers
All infrastructure is unprofitable and collapsing
The city stinks and the residents who lack food and clothing have lost their reason and have become ravenous beasts.
What is going to happen now? What is going to happen to Hawaii now?

Sorry for the sidebar.

I'm not a fictitious person. There is a lot of disparity among locals and Filipinos just as there is a lot of disparity among Japanese. Ask the housekeepers in the major hotels. Many of them are homeowners and renters.

They are saving money wisely by doing 2jobs from when they are young so that they can be rich in their old age.

People who can only think of now will not be able to live on their pensions alone in their old age and will probably return to Japan or move to the US mainland.

That is the current situation in Hawaii.

I think you all are being too aggressive with Rocco who posted this ？
I can't believe that in a free talk forum there are people who say that you don't have to live in Hawaii if you say things like that...there are so many people with bad character

I understand what you are saying Rocco
. There are many places in Oahu that are full of homeless people and smells in some places.
With the current cost of living in Hawaii, it's hard to make a living with a normal job

If you live in Hawaii and don't know this, you must have bad eyesight ？
. ？
There are many unsafe places in Hawaii, do you live in those places and don't you know it ？
Those who don't know and are attacking Rocco, please go around Oahu by car or bus and see many places.

I know how you feel ？ about Hawaii
If you are very rich, you won't mind the rising prices, but unfortunately I am a commoner too.

Town, especially around Waikiki, is already a zombie town
What will really happen to Hawaii ？?

I don't know how you came to live in Hawaii, but if your salary is not enough, it is because you are not good enough. If the company needs you, they will pay you accordingly. You can't work 50 hours a week for minimum wage. If you can do that, more people will want to live in Hawaii.

#42 Waikiki

"Before Corona, there were so many homeless people sleeping on the sidewalks and bus stops around Waikiki, but now I never see them "

I have lived in Waikiki for over 10 years, "and now I never see them< " This is a mistake ！ You should not make false and misleading statements ！

It is true that the number of homeless people seems to have decreased since Corona started, but I work in Waikiki from afternoon to night, so I walk to work and to my apartment. I usually get home from work around 10:00 p.m. ！ During the daylight hours, I see homeless people begging for money near the Cheesecake Factory ！ And there is a small lawn at the bus stop where the Princess Kaiulani statue is located. ！ There are also homeless people sleeping around the bus stops ！ I bet you never walk around Waikiki at night, so you don't see any homeless people

There are many of them ！ along the Ala Wai Canal and around Waikiki Health. There was a big incident this year at a 7-Eleven in Waikiki. There are homeless people living in tents near the bus stop 😭 😱 and behind the police station in Waikiki... I think it's because there are toilets and showers available there ！ I walk to work and back every day, so I might know better than you 🤣

By the way, I was surprised to see a homeless woman doing her business on the street in the daytime around the Waikiki Health Center 🤦 🤦 I've seen this before. I think these people are beyond embarrassing
I think they are the cause of the stench.
