As you have lived in the U.S. for a longer period of time, don't you start to see the good and bad aspects of Japan, and the aspects that need to be corrected?
If I had not come to the U.S., I would not have noticed that some things are common knowledge in the U.S. I am not an American fanatic by any means.
I have seen and know a lot of the "messiness" and bad aspects of America. However, there are many reasonable and good aspects. The purpose of this topic is to discuss everyday examples, and to get the word out and spread from this place to Japan.

My dream is that some local government in Japan will discover this topic and start working with the topics discussed in the topic and say, "Let's create a model city ！ that is different from what Japan has been used to.

The topics are limited to topics related to Japan.
Politics, economy, weak police force, corona problem, injection problem, working style, internet diffusion, stocks, virtual currency, English education, prices, land prices, earthquake, defense problem, lack of credit card diffusion, lack of my number diffusion, health insurance, retirement benefits, tax evasion friendly society, criminal friendly Self-Defense Forces are paid too little, etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc. ？ Let's discuss anything else.

＞ If you tell them you don't have a PIN, they can just sign it


I see, that's a way to do it.

But when I experienced it, I gave up because I thought the purchase would not be completed without the PIN.

In any case, I was surprised at the difference between the Japanese system and ours, since we don't require a PIN for purchases made with a credit card here.

Next time I go to Japan, I will contact my VISA card company to get a PIN in advance.

You need a pin to withdraw money from a bank ATM ？
You also need a pin to cash out at a grocery store
？
Or maybe you leave it to your wife ？.

In the Showa period, many of you were probably taught by your Jikyogumi teachers that the Emperor was a war criminal and that a national anthem that honors him was immoral. Also, weren't they told to read the Asahi Shimbun's Tenseijingo? And then, we are led to the "Yutori" education, which is a horrible story.

Gonko,

＞ You need a pin to withdraw money from a bank ATM ？

When traveling in Japan, many guest houses and stores only accept cash. However, in Japan, there is no need to pay cash at all and I have not paid cash recently. When I pay for car wash by credit card, I ask them to add the Tip to the amount of the car wash fee, and then I get the amount in cash and give it to them as a Tip.

Even so, I still keep a few $ 20, $ 5, and $ 1 bills in my wallet just in case.

Ah, there was one. I've been to a small Mexican restaurant that only takes cash, so I pay cash there. So when I go there, I check my wallet before I go out because I am worried.

Affordable Housing Hale Kalele Apartment

It appears that the application for the Hale Kalele low income condo on Piikoi Street began
on 2/1 and the lottery was held on 4/4.
Did you get a lottery number when you submitted the application and all required documents ？
or did only those who qualified through screening after submission get
lottery numbers ？
If you know the process, please share information. Please share this information with us.

Hello.
After submitting the application and required documents, the lottery was held on April 4 and Hale Kalele contacted the winners of the lottery.

#3 Dear 808

Thank you ！

I was a little doubtful
because in Japan the lottery is open to the public to avoid fraud.
So you were given a
lottery number once the application form and all required documents were received by the destination?
I think the screening fee alone was
quite a lot since so many people applied.

Entry into Japan after positive corona

I have been cured of corona, but I was told that PCR can cause a positive reaction for a long time even if there is no virus
Japan itself does not recommend PCR after the cure, but I have to take something in order to go to Japan, so I was wondering if you have any experience on what to do in such a case. So I don't want to do PCR.

I am currently studying for the written cosmetology exam, but I am struggling because I am not fluent in English. If anyone has a license, I would like to get some advice on how to study ！ ！
Also, I would like to get to know anyone who is pursuing a California Cosmetology license.

I think it is not to translate every single English word into Japanese, but to understand it in English and learn it as it is. Even native English-speaking Americans are limited in the number of people who can pass the test the first time. The first thing you need to do is to build up your vocabulary. An acquaintance of mine, an esthetician who is not good at English, took the exam with an interpreter, but she still failed about five times. I don't think it is a good idea to have an interpreter, but you might consider it ？.

Thanks for writing cosmetologist.
That's exactly right.

I see that someone I know has taken the test several times. You know someone who has taken the test several times? This was my third time, and I was short of 3 points. I will study harder and take the next exam. I am worried if I will pass the exam. I am worried if I will pass the exam.

It is said that there are many restaurants in Akihabara where you can have a big meal.
Come to think of it, many of the restaurants featured on TV, etc. seem to be in Akihabara ？.

I may have to go to the entrance/exit of the Shinkansen to see them … Has anyone seen them ？?

Any recommendations for places to go out with the kids from Kamata to Haneda area? Haneda Airport is sometimes different when you go there. I would be even happier if it is a place where we can play in nature.

Shio Ramen is a humble taste that you can keep eating for a long time. It's easy to arrange, too.
