Have they done away with customs declarations ？ My parents, who are in their 70s, are coming here in May, and I am worried because it will be the first time they are coming alone, and neither of them speak English.
I am gathering a lot of information, but I heard that the customs declaration form has been abolished. I wish I could go back to Japan and come with you, but due to circumstances I can't. I wish I could go back to Japan and come with you, but due to circumstances I cannot. I would appreciate it if you could tell me if there is anything I should pay attention to other than the customs declaration form, or if there is anything I can prepare here.

I entered the country yesterday and the customs declaration form was discontinued. No kiosks, just a question at immigration "Do you have anything to apply for ？". Even after picking up my luggage, I was asked if I had anything to apply for ？ and was able to get out easily with a No.
UA, but before we landed, there was an announcement that we did not need a customs declaration form since entry was now paperless.

I need to print documents to be submitted to the Japanese government office on A3 paper. Please let me know if there are any stores in the Los Angeles and Orange County area that offer such a service.　I have A3 paper on hand.

Thank you all for all your input.
I was able to print successfully yesterday.

How did I end up doing it,

1 ． I found a store on Yelp that has a reputation of being able to custom print anything (https://www.yelp.com/biz/custom-1-printing- torrance)
2 ． I took the A3 paper I bought from Daiso
3 ． The professional at the store adjusted the size of the print several times and adjusted the settings so that the printed area was centered nicely on the A3 paper

I was able to get a good result.
If there was no A3 paper, the store owner was going to print on a larger sheet of paper and cut it to A3 size.
They printed it for less than $5 for 4 sheets, so they were really conscientious and helpful.

I contacted Japan Graphic in the Torrance area, and this company seemed to be able to help me, but I was in a hurry, so I went with a local printer who answered quickly on the phone this time.

By the way, A3 size is twice the size of A4 size, which is similar to the commonly used American letter size, and the paper was too big for the home printer I had at home.

Thank you very much.

I am having trouble with a tree in the apartment next door that is over my fence.

Problem / Need advice

I live in an apartment building. The tree in the apartment building right next to my parking spot has grown to about the height of the third floor of the building and is covering my car. Leaves are piling up every day and bird droppings are getting on it and it gets dirty quickly even if I clean it. The paint is also damaged. I told the manager of our apartment building but he said there is nothing he can do about the neighbors. I told them that they should at least be able to trim the amount that is encroaching on ours, but they are not doing anything. Where do I go for help in this situation, DCBA, LAHD, etc.? Has anyone had a similar experience and solved the problem?

Yes, it is quite high. It is already taller than I am at the height of the fence. It looks like it's hanging from quite a bit higher than that. If I could do it myself, I would.
I'm not sure if I'm the right person to talk to the management next door ？. I want to complain as a renter, but it's hard to get through to them. 。。。。

＞ It should be the property owner/manager who does that negotiation, but they don't do it because it's too much trouble.

They shouldn't and won't negotiate.

In the U.S., if we have a problem with our own properties, we will move, but we tend not to get involved with other people's properties.

Well, you have to make a strong claim to the management next door yourself.

Since then, many people have helped me and provided me with more information than I had expected, and after much deliberation, I decided to share it with you.

The reason why I wanted to know about this was because a friend of mine used to live on the second floor and had to move to the upper floor because her baby was bitten by mosquitoes. As it turns out, there used to be a lot of problems because of the lack of management, but after a new management system was installed, the mosquitoes were completely gone. \But after the introduction of the new management system, it seems to have been improved enough, although it cannot be said that they are completely gone. It seems to be improved enough.

All of them seem to be able to live without being bothered by mosquitoes.

Thank you for your cooperation.

I was lucky enough to win the green card lottery on my second application last year, but I am still waiting for the interview notice after completing the biometrics （ fingerprinting ） on April 4 this year. I asked a friend of mine who won the lottery and he told me that he received the interview notice and the biometrics notice at about the same time, but I have not received the interview notice after almost a month … (;_;)
If anyone who has won the lottery can tell me when they received the interview notice, I would appreciate it! ！ Also, if the interview schedule has been set, is it possible to confirm it online or something …?

I remember that there was quite a gap between biometrics and the interview.

In my case, my lawyer explained to me that I lost several weeks because the documents that were supposed to be delivered to the Los Angeles Legal Department were not easily passed on to the person in charge in the office. I think it is true because my lawyer accompanied me to the interview and complained to the legal department why the process was so slow. I know you are anxious because there are many circumstances, but I think you have to wait and see.
Congratulations for now ！.

What advice do you have for him as he stands on the brink of no longer being able to continue playing baseball in the future? He won the Koshien championship in spring and summer in consecutive years, and was drafted first overall by the Hanshin team with a bang. Fujinami had won double-digit victories in three consecutive years since his rookie year and seemed to be on the way to becoming an ace, but suddenly he began to have trouble with his control of the ball. Fujinami's mentality was thought to be the main cause, and he decided to make a fresh start and challenge MLB this year.
In his first game in MLB, he had a great start, but after that, he was even more out of control than in NPB. To date, he has pitched in four games and has a horrendous 14.40 earned-run average.

I have heard that many internships make you work for an hourly wage and hours
that you decide on at the beginning, without any relation at all.
Also, I've heard that people enter the workplace with the intention of learning a job, but are made to do something completely unrelated, or
are left alone and given responsibility. I hear things like that.
The most common thing I hear is that there are no holidays. The most common thing I hear is that they don't have time off.
Before coming to Hawaii from Japan, you should always ask the people at your workplace if you can work less than 8 hours a day and have 2 days off a week ？

Delicious fresh cream cake

The other day, I wanted a delicious cake for my mother-in-law's birthday, so I got a whole shortcake from La palume D'or. The last time I had a shortcake was so long ago that I don't remember how many years ago, but I remember it was the best Japanese cake in Hawaii. But this time the cream was tasteless and the sponge was nonexistent. But it was my first time to try the shortcake here, so other cakes might be tasty.
I would like to know your favorite cake shops and types of cakes. By the way, I am not a cake person, but I really liked the cream of "Marion" in Shiroki-ya, which is no longer there, because it tasted just like in Japan.

They won't come to repair my apartment,..,

Problem / Need advice

About a few months ago, the outside gate door was broken down by a homeless person wandering around outside my apartment.

I notified the management company about it, and once after that, a contractor-like person showed up, got an estimate, and went away, but I have not heard from him since.

I contacted the management company and they said they are currently contacting the owner and waiting to hear from him, but it has been about a month.

So far, when I have asked them to repair my room several times, they have come rather quickly, but

apparently the owner changed a few months ago, and I have the impression that the response has changed drastically since then.

Is this kind of problem something that can be solved by talking to the city?
