Hello
I am a resident of Las Vegas.
I am planning to visit the Consulate General of San Francisco
to renew my passport.
I think the area near the Consulate General is convenient and good if it is safe
I hear that downtown San Francisco is very dangerous these days.
Should we stay at a hotel near Fisherman's Wharf? ?
What hotels do you recommend to your friends?
I am not sure about the balance between the security of San Francisco and the cost of lodging.
We are looking to spend $ less than 400, but
$ 200, $ even 100 would be better if it is a safe place to go out.

I would appreciate hearing from you.

Thank you very much.

Thanks for the reply.
The Consulate of San Francisco has jurisdiction over Nevada.
Last year it was not Corona related, but every year the people at the San Francisco Consulate
would travel to Las Vegas to provide processing services.
I thought that Vegas residents had to be in San Francisco, but
maybe the consulate in LA can do it ?
I'll ask next time.

The jurisdiction for Nevada appears to be the San Francisco Consulate.
If you can spare the time, consular travel service to Las Vegas is scheduled.

I am recently divorced and need to be independent, but will it be difficult to start my own business from freelancing with my English still at a beginner level and no education or business skills? I have a child, but my ex-husband has moved to another state with our child due to my lack of earning power. I am often told that I should go back to Japan ? but personal circumstances make it difficult for me to return. I have no idea what I need to do to make freelance money. What should I start with?

You can probably baby-sit Japanese children.
Once you get used to it, you can earn quite a bit of money if you take care of several of them together at home. Home daycare center. It is a splendid entrepreneurship.

Yes, daycare centers that care for children in Los Angeles must be licensed. In California, child care centers and day care facilities must follow state regulations and obtain the appropriate licenses.1 This ensures that children receive care in a safe and appropriate environment.

Co-workers with no family in Hawaii to rely on. I know most fathers are full time, but I am interested in what kind of work the mothers do. I think full time is pretty difficult without the understanding of the company. I know you are busy with the new school year in public schools starting next week, but I would be happy to hear your comments.

My children are now independent, but when they were young, I worked part-time for a major Japanese travel agency. Since the company had a large number of employees, many of those without children or those who had finished raising their children preferred to take weekdays off, and many of them avoided the high season when they temporarily returned to Japan, so it was easy for me to take time off to coincide with my children's vacation, even while raising my children.

I was able to find a preschool where I could leave my child for half a day or only a few times a week, instead of every day, and I was able to save money on preschool because I could leave my child there on my own time.

Once they start going to school, afterschool programs such as A-Plus allow you to leave your child with them directly after school until the evening. We also had them participate in child care programs during long breaks such as spring and winter break. If you do a search, you will find many different places that offer fun programs. However, only during winter vacation, most child care services are closed between Christmas and New Year's Day, so they cannot take care of children. I am glad that I was able to work even a little while my children were young so that I could increase the amount of pension I would receive in my old age.

It certainly seems like a company with a lot of employees would have an easier time getting time off for vacations. Some people want weekdays off. !
I know A Plus exists, but I am concerned because I have heard from someone with an elementary school child that there are not enough teachers for the number of people who want to be placed there and they are not in a position to accept all who wish to be there.
I see that there is also a child care program. Well, I think it will be a little while before we can find out that much more about the post-kindergarten thing, because I think the situation will change by then. There is also the possibility of another Corona-like situation coming. So it gets difficult during the New Year's holiday. In that case, I guess we would have to hire a sitter. But if your child is around 12 years old, you can leave the child at home and go to work.

Until my kids went to pre, I worked from home plus nights. I had a sales job that allowed me to work short hours after my husband, who worked full time, came home. It was a time when I didn't have the luxury of being too choosy about what I did.

After I was able to send my child to pre, I was able to get a job that I wanted to do and that allowed me to utilize my skills. Although the working environment is client-driven, I feel very secure in my mentality while raising my children. Good luck !

Hello !
I would like to ask if anyone using HT internet in the Waikiki, Kaimuki, or Diamond Head area has any problems with connection or speed. I am currently using Spectrum, but I am wondering if I should switch to Spectrum to save money since it costs $90 for internet alone. However, I know that the price of HT is going up every year. Please let me know if you are using it ^_^.

Honey bee, I think it would be a good idea to describe your internet usage.
The speed you need will depend on how many people are using it, whether you do streaming, etc.

By the way, I am in an old apartment in the McCully area, so I don't have access to HT's blazing fast connection, 50 Mbps (about 20 Mbps actual), but it is fast enough for watching YouTube by myself.
The price would be $ 70 or so for the regular service, but when I told them that Spectrum's service with the same speed was $ 25, they discounted it to $ 30.

We switched to T-mobile internet this year. We used to use Spectrum or Hawaiian Telcom internet, but both of these companies become expensive after the 2 year promotion period, but T-mobile has $ 40 ~ $ 50 with no extra fee. It seems like this price is still the same after all these years. We consistently get 200Mbps speeds at home. Other than that, the best thing about T-mobile is that I can set it up myself without having to call a technician to set it up. I can take it home and set it up and try it out for 15 days to test speeds, etc.

I have been using HT for almost 20 years. Formerly in Makiki and now in Ala Moana.HT has a lot of problems to say the least. When my neighbors get up in the morning or come home from work and everyone else is using the internet, it cuts out quite frequently (, stays offline for 30 minutes at worst, or mumbles finely about 30 times an hour ), and the speed becomes extremely slow and unusable. So last year, I asked them to increase my Mbps, but the person in charge did not show up at the appointed time, so I made a new appointment, but that day also ended up with no show. During that time, I had no internet for about two weeks, which was really inconvenient for me because it interfered with my work. I couldn't help but laugh when I heard that an acquaintance's father had worked for HT for a long time, but switched to Spectrum right after he retired because he still had many problems with the internet. However, the good thing about HT is that the price is negotiable, so you can get a much lower price ?. 566>" and they will give you a surprisingly low price. If you still feel that the price is too high, they have a loyalty ・ discount, which allows you to get a further discount under the authority of the person answering the phone, so if you push again, they will give you an even lower price.

Even though I'm half US expat for 30 years and shelved my mother's side, who was a white supremacist, I've lived in Oakland and similar places, since I came to the US.

I now live in Silicon ・ Valley, but trauma is not something that goes away easily. I don't know how it can be erased because you can't go back in time and start over. From 1994 to last December, no matter where I went or what I did . . .

There are others, but for now, this is what I want to hear more than anything.

Who else has "expat traumatism in the US" due to American society reacting with hatred and violence to the hatred of Americans in particular and Asians in general for not understanding or being used to it?

I returned to Japan because of my spouse's work, which I regret.
I knew before I moved here that I wasn't keen on the new place, but as I suspected, I just don't like the new place anyhow.
There are not many jobs in the countryside, and the weather is cloudy most days, which depresses me. I am also feeling depressed because there is not much work in the countryside and the weather is cloudy most days.
I am applying for a re-entry permit, so I am hoping that I can live with my husband in the U.S. for a little over 6 months and in Japan ) for
6 months.
In the meantime, I have started looking for remote work in Japan or the US.

If you are aiming to live in Japan or the U.S. as well, or if you have done so, I would appreciate your advice.

Nice to meet you. I came to the US as a teenager after the Great Hanshin Earthquake, where my mother of Italian descent lived, and although circumstances have kept me from leaving now, I really wish I could have returned home.

I'm currently living in Silicon ・ Valley, but by last December I had lived in every big city and country here and there.

Americans don't know, aren't used to, don't know, and harbor a violent hatred for things that are even slightly different from themselves. There are Americans who don't, but those people are the exception.

In America, putting only oneself first, and bullying words and actions, is an old and withered "sign of strength".

And justice, etc., is determined by kind--race, gender, etc. In the world and in the courts. Especially if you are Asian, there is no justice if you are DV'd or killed.

Using tax laws, almost no one can even rent a room alone now. Eating out is mainly the same, cheap food is mostly junk food.

Medical care is too expensive and insurance may be unaffordable in some places.

Modern young couples often live with their children to pay rent for a 1R apartment, and parents may even work more than 4 jobs total.

Asian and Latino immigrants are taken advantage of or dumped daily. They are harassed from all sides, both at work and in the community while doing the work that Americans do not do at all.

Why on earth would anyone do anything in this situation, because over here, the power to change society is bought. People who are not property owners do not leave to become politicians.

And as you can see, different kinds of people have already decided how much money they can make.

If you want me to explain further, you can contact me, anytime.

8% annual interest rate, no taxes to pay.
I've been getting solicited from many places recently to move all my savings to a bank in the U.S. ?
I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but I'm sure I'll be able to get a good deal.

If you listen carefully,

only Japanese can open an account.
Residents of the U.S. cannot open an account.
It seems to be that.
Why can't US residents open an account even though the bank is in the US ?
I wonder.

Anyone who has been solicited or knows this information

Some banks such as Chase and US Bank can change your Japanese address.
Otherwise, the only way is to sign up for a mail forwarding service such as shipito.
For US citizens and US residents, it is difficult to open a non-US account due to FATCA.
I know someone who uses a forwarding service
if they can't come to terms with their parents in the US, etc.
