The weather has been so unstable lately that I'm not sure what to wear every day ． ． ．.

As someone who has grown up in NYC all my life. I wouldn't worry too much. Be aware of your surroundings. For example, if you are in Midtown or Times Square. Make sure your back is against the wall. Or make sure you are with a lot of people. If you have flashy jewelry, take it off late at night and put it in your bag. This is because it can attract attention. Do not react or look them in the eye if they look scared, screaming, or unwell. And watch out for different areas. I use the bus more often than the subway. If you come to Manhattan.

I live on Wall street, so I would be more than happy to get extensions in Lower Manhattan, but if you have any information on midtown or upper Manhattan, please let me know. \I'd love to hear from you!

If it's a 2006 Toyota Sienna LE,
take it to a Toyota dealer for service and ask.

While having the oil change done,
the heater dial is set to the hottest setting, but there is no warm air at all.
Ask if it needs to be repaired, and if it's a set problem, they can do the service on the spot.

It's probably the actuator. It's under the passenger dash, so you could turn the heater control to see if it's working. It's probably slowing down, so you might be able to push it with your finger to see if it works ？ I don't know if you can do that. You might have to remove the undercover to see it.

Thank you all. It is now fixed.
I found a number of videos on Youtube, so I did it while watching them. I was very impressed when I saw that the arm started to move after the repair.
However, it did not go as smoothly as in the video, and I had a hard time. I was exhausted, but it was a great feeling of accomplishment.

crack crack crack ！ Good for you. Cars are basically designed with repair in mind, so if you learn a little and get the hang of it, you can do repairs that would be considered quite difficult even for an amateur.

I also read this article and wondered ？ if it was true.

At face value of 1 million yen, that's about $7,000 a month at the current dollar-yen rate.
$500 a day for 14 days of work.
If I worked 4 hours a day, $125 an hour.
Since you would be earning almost exclusively in tips, you would handle breakfast at 20% of the cost of the meal, which is about $650 per hour.
If you are in Waikiki, you would handle 22 tables per hour at $30 per meal.

I wonder if it is possible ～ ？
But to begin with, it is difficult to get a work visa to work as a waiter.
Also, even if you are making this much money now, it is a job that is easily affected by the economy. （ But since you are a "migrant", it is probably only temporary ）.
Also, since you would be responsible for your own health insurance, it would reduce your actual income.

And that's my lunch break musings.

No, 7,000 to 8,000 is good ？ if it's 3 or 4 days a week
and 2 of those days are on weekends or during Sunday brunch.
Nowadays, there are more mainland tourists than Japanese tourists, so tipping is better.
Even if you have to pay for your own health insurance, at least 50% of it is covered by the company, and the place I worked at covered 100%
so it's not that hard.
In Waikiki, the hourly wage is high to begin with because of the labor shortage, and if it's plus tips, it's even more so.
I feel it's amazing because it's a million dollars, but I thought it was a normal story if you think about it in dollars.
By the way, a friend of mine works part time at a lunch box restaurant, not a restaurant,
and she said that the tip jar in front of the cash register is accumulating.
Plus those who pay by card charge it to their card, so "I can get 100+ tips in a restaurant like this"
she said.

Maybe that figure is due to the weak yen, but it's ＄ 7 ， 000 per month.
In fact, it is impossible to spend that much on labor.

Tip included, but I don't
think they would pay that much for a wait person.

If the price per dish is going up, then the purchase price is also going up.

So I think ＄ 3 ， 000 to ＄ 5 ， 000 per month is possible.

The reality is, restaurants are hard to manage. I know there are restaurants
that close suddenly every month.

I want you to see the reality. So if you have this monthly income, it is
extremely rare.

Mr. Scared of Adverse Reactions

There are vaccine lawsuits all over the world right now.
Look it up. You will find many.

Even though you have corona, you are fine now.
If you are still in the hospital, I understand your fear.
Corona is a disease that the media has created anxiety about.
Please wake up.

Japan News.

105 people have died in Kanagawa prefecture after vaccination.

It doesn't make sense if you are supposed to prevent corona infection but you die.

I am not a doctor or a nurse, but I think that if you raise your immunity without vaccination, you will not get corona infection.

Protect yourself.

#14 Dandelion
I am no longer afraid of getting infected in Hawaii, where I live, but I am afraid of getting infected while traveling in Japan.

#16 Korokoro-san
I am afraid of vaccines. When I look up ways to boost my immune system on the Internet, all I can find are things that I usually try to do, such as moderate exercise, avoiding stress, and maintaining a good intestinal environment, but if there is anything else I can do to boost my immune system that would help prevent corona infection, please let me know. I definitely do not want to get infected before or after I go to Japan.

Mr. Afraid of Adverse Reactions

There is no corona only in Japan. There are coronas all over the world. ？

In Japan, as in Hawaii, everyone is fine even if infected.
If you are worried about getting seriously ill and having to be put on a respirator, get a good overseas insurance policy.

By the way, if you are that scared,
your immune system will be in a slump.

To eliminate your fear, find out how corona is not a scary disease.
That is the best solution.

The reports in the Japanese News that people have died after being vaccinated seem to be false. It seems that they did not submit
documents to prove that the person died. So, it seems to be questionable.

Also, the vaccination is 5 times, 2 times and 2 times as usual booster, and the bivalent vaccine of Ba4 and 5 to the usual vaccine.

I'm not going to tell you what to do with the vaccine here, just be scared right with Covid. Don't be so careless
about it.

Please be rightly afraid of Covid. Don't think of it as a frivolous infection.

In reality, in TX, a person was not vaccinated, got infected, and ended up in the ICU. And the doctor begged him to get the vaccine
but he was told by the doctor that if he was infected, he could not get the vaccine. Please get well soon.
He seemed to calm the patient, but then he passed away.

It is up to you whether to vaccinate or not.

I have been vaccinated.

It's possible to live alone in the South Bay if you pay $ 1800.
You can look at various properties and decide which one you like.

Example of being cheated by a roommate with an American

The apartment fee was paid to the American roommate.　The payment was never received by the apartment owner. Both names of the apartment were taken to court for eviction

Deposit for apartment $ Paid 400 but it was fraudulent.　 $ 400 deposit is not a common practice

When I came back from Japan, the apartment was locked and I could not enter. Due to forced eviction, my American roommate moved out and the Japanese took my stuff in the presence of the manager.

> Financially, would it be difficult to live alone in the South Bay for $ 1800 or so?

I think it is possible on a budget. However, it is tough for an international student with no credit history to rent an apartment in his/her own name.
If you negotiate directly with the landlord, such as paying a larger deposit or paying several months rent in advance, you may be able to get an exception.
