どうでもいい事なのですが、ここ数日気になって仕方ないので覚えてる方いらっしゃったら教えてください。
何年も前ですが、日系のテレビのCMでひっくり返った亀がクルクルまわって「探してまーす、探してまーす」とか「仕事あります」とかいう感じのものがあったのですが、社名を思い出せません。どうでもいいことではあるのですが、気になり出したら止まりません・・・
覚えている方いらっしゃったら教えてください。

Nice to meet you. I have started a terrarium. ? It looks easy, but I don't really know how to do it. Also, do you have any recommendations on where I can buy plants and other items in LA? ? When I watch YouTube, I see that Japanese stores have a good selection. I wonder if there are specialty stores here ?.

I had no idea what a terrarium was, so I googled it and found that it is a thing that creates a super miniature natural world inside that glass aquarium.

I don't know where you can buy them because I'm not interested in them at all, but those glass aquariums are in pet stores that sell killifish and tropical fish. There is a large pet store near my house called Petco that sells tanks of various sizes and shapes. Is that soil special? I would use soil from my own garden, but looking online, it seems that this is not just any soil.

Or is it better to sell them at a brand store when I go back to Japan since they are from Tiffany & Co. than to sell them here ?
? If you know anything about it, please let me know.

PACIFIC DIAMOND near Ala Moana will buy it, but the price is determined by the weight of the gold, so you should ask for an estimate ? Even if it is from Tiffany, I think it depends on the rank of the diamond, but they will do the evaluation for free, so if you have a warranty card, you should bring it with you. If you have a warranty card, I think it would be a good idea to bring it along.

I have never had an estimate in Hawaii, but
when I went to Japan in January,
I brought it to a buy-back specialist at the mall.

I had outdated rings, one earring, and a worn out Vuitton wallet.
I asked them to quote me 20,000 yen for a piece of sushi.
I was surprised to find that it was 150,000 yen.
There was also a sapphire scrap stone in it, but the price of gold was high.

Mr. LOVE
I used hospitality to mean in everyday life.
I don't mean in restaurants.

I often receive kindness from people,
so I try to give it to the next person
whenever I get a chance.
If I keep that in mind in my life, there is nothing to worry about.
Living on an island is not bad.

Hospitality in Hawaii is
good, as it is the state of tourism.

I always give back to the community what I receive.

If you are kind to someone, you should be kind to the next person
in return.

To place a tip, it depends on the service whether you want to place it or not.

I used to get the worst service in Chixiken, so I tipped for the first time
When I didn't leave a tip, they came after me and I thought I had forgotten something, but it was because I didn't leave a tip.
I can't recommend them to anyone anymore.

Don't be too concerned about whether or not to leave a tip
, but at least leave a tip since you used the restaurant.
If the service was not up to par,
it would be good for the restaurant if you could say a few words before you leave
.
Well, if there is room for improvement.
If there is no improvement, the store will naturally disappear.

Tipping, if you pay it, is limited to 5%. It is like begging to rely on that.
Who do you think you are, that you are so happy to pay tips?

My friend passed away yesterday. It is painful.

I guess he couldn't stand the slander anymore,
he committed suicide.

Last week, he suddenly called me and said he couldn't stand the slander anymore
and his name was published
so he wanted to die
I thought he said he wanted to die but yesterday, the police called me
and told me he committed suicide. 966> It was a friend of mine.

I checked my belongings this morning, and there was no mistake
that it was my friend.

I am sorry to hear this, but I have contacted the Consulate General
to ask you to contact the family.

I'm in a panic right now because of this sudden thing,
I can't even put what I'm writing here together,
but it's so painful that I decided to post it here
to write it down somewhere.

I cried a lot, and
I prayed
that we would always be friends.

We are very sorry to hear of the passing of your
friend.
I am sorry for your pain.
But I wonder if it is what your friend would have wanted
to have everyone here see about his suicide. ?
Please do not leave such a thing here and
take your grief on your own.

As someone who has also lost a loved one,
I understand your feelings, but please do not be the cause of your friend's death.

Sorry for the sidebar.

I actually have a Japanese female friend that I have not been able to contact.
I hope it's not her, but Topix, it would be very helpful if you could give me a description of the deceased
.
I am very worried because for the first time I have not been able to read for a long time.

I'm sure everyone who lives in Hawaii who is looking at this topic is wondering what they would do
if it were their friend.

Has anyone been Reinstated after Green card abandonment?

I am a Japanese citizen in my 50s and have been living in the U.S. with a green card. I would like to return to Japan to take care of my parents, and after their death, I would like to live in the U.S. again with a green card. My parents have no chronic diseases and are in good health. In other words, there is no expiration date on their residence in Japan. I understand that I can only provisionally waive for about 2 years to temporarily return to Japan with a green card. If anyone has ever re-instated after living in Japan with a waiver, I would appreciate your advice.

If you are returning to Japan to care for your parents without setting a time limit and then returning to the U.S. again, I think it would be best to first obtain U.S. citizenship and then stay in Japan with a permanent residence permit, as recommended by Showa Ototsuan. Once you let your green card lapse, it may be difficult to get it again. ( I don't have any experience with this, so I don't know for sure. )
I am a citizenship holder ( I became a citizen about 15 years ago ) but I returned to Japan about 10 years ago for the purpose of returning permanently. At that time, I first entered Japan with a short-term ( 3-year ) visa and applied for a permanent residence permit after entering the country, which was granted in about a year. I remember that I did all the procedures by myself and it was not so difficult. However, after 4 years, I decided that I could not live in Japan and came back to the US. ( I now live in Hawaii )
From my experience, I believe that Japanese immigration control is kinder to "ex-Japanese" and not as strict as the US green card system. I think it is advantageous for U.S. citizens to travel between Japan and the U.S. in situations where the length of stay is not very predictable. However, it depends on when you return to Japan, and whether you will be able to obtain citizenship by then. In my case, I remember it was about a year after I applied. ( It was quite a while ago, so I am not too sure. )

The following site will do the application on your behalf.
https://www.e-toritsugi.com/
Find out what you need to do to apply yourself. First, check the requirements at the following site, and then look for blogs and other information from people who have actually applied on their own.
https://www.moj.go.jp/isa/applications/procedures/zairyu_eijyu01.html
The important thing is to explain that you have enough income after returning to your country and that you have a guarantor such as a relative in Japan.
Good Luck!

Let me vent my disgruntled medical bills.

This is a continuation of my previous post about my child's blood test that showed high lead levels, so she was retested. May I ask if I may ask this frustration here ?
The results of the retest were negative, but they charged me $ 90 for the test ! The pediatrician told me that the first blood draw is done by taking blood from my finger and putting it in a container, so sometimes the wrong numbers are given. He told me that usually the numbers are 2 or less, but there were 9. The Lead Poisoning Prevention Program office called me and sent me a booklet. They said that if these lead numbers are correct, even if there are no symptoms now, there will be problems with learning ability. I was very sorry about where my child had gotten so much lead, and my husband was furious with me, and I was worried about what would happen to her life. On a slightly different note, I recently went to my family doctor's office to have a blood test done because I had severe eczema and the itching was painful. When I went to get the results, I found that I had an allergy reading. My family doctor had also ordered an allergy test at the blood test office, but no allergy test was done, and as a result, I was never able to find out what I was allergic to. By the time I went to get the results, the eczema had gone away and I was told that they would not be able to tell without taking blood when I had an allergic reaction. How is this possible ? I would appreciate any sympathy or advice here as well. I think I need to make sure that when I get a proper bill for this, I make sure that allergy testing is not included.

Well, it's different from Japanese hospitals. ?
I know you wrote that $90 is ! different from 30% of everything in Japan, so
I'd be relieved if it was less than $100.
At any rate, I'm glad everything is okay. If you distrust doctors and clinics,
just switch. It's a country where you can do that without regret.

Blood test fee $ 90 is cheap.

I had an allergy test done before, but the items were very detailed, about 100 items, and the co-pay was $ 220.
I was surprised that my insurance didn't cover it ? but
I was convinced that it clarified where my allergy was coming from.

I heard that a friend of mine had an allergy test in Japan
for 219 food sensitivities and paid 5,000 yen, 15,000 yen at 30% of the cost, so it is not an unsatisfactory medical bill.

A patch test, not a blood test, can be done even when eczema is not present, but the cause may be unknown.

Thank you for your comment !
I was frustrated because if my child did not have a blood test, it would have been a few dollars for a 2 year old check up, but $ it was 90. I had visited this pediatrician many times for other than the usual checkups, but I was not prepared for this because they always $ never charged more than 20. If I thought for sure it should be expensive $ 90 might have seemed cheap.
And the allergy test was for me, not the child, and I have not yet received a bill for it. So it may be a test that is not covered by insurance ! I will call my doctor and check before I wait for the bill !
I was wondering if there is more of a problem with the blood test lab than with the doctor's office regarding these two events. I wondered if anyone else has had problems with blood testing recently, but there doesn't seem to be any.
Thanks for reading !

Maybe I wrote that wrong.
$ 220 for blood test was
$ 220 co-pay with insurance.

Without insurance $ it would be over 1000.

I know you are angry about the mismanagement of your child's blood test, but
$ 90 is good because it bought you peace of mind ?

Collecting miles to use for Hawaii - Japan award tickets

Other
#1
  • こーの字
  • mail
  • 2024/03/11 15:13

I was hoping to get your comments on collecting miles to use for award tickets between Hawaii and Japan.
I would like to hear about your favorite company, how you collect miles, etc. I myself am currently collecting miles with Delta Air Lines Amex Gold, but I am considering doing so after I have used up all my current miles on award tickets.
The reasons for this are
- Delta's Amex Gold annual fee will be $ 100 => $ 150 ( $10,000 spend bonus will increase to $ 100 => $ 200 and new hotel credit $ 100, which is not bad in general ).
- I plan to use my BILT MasterCard to pay rent and accumulate points, but the airlines I can transfer points to are Hawaiian, United, and American Airline in the US.
- My destination is Nagoya, so I will be flying Delta to Haneda > Shinkansen to Nagoya is a bit inconvenient in terms of time ・ and money. On the other hand, it is possible to fly to Nagoya with JAL/Hawaiian.

Based on the above 3 points, I think that if I were to migrate, it would be to Hawaiian ~ ?.
On the other hand, I may continue to use Delta, $ consider the 200 bonus as bullet train fare, or use BILT points as Hawaiian miles for Interisland flights.

With my current Delta card, I have been earning 12,000 - 15,000 miles per year for the last few years.
I think ? the miles I get from purchases are roughly the same if I use the Hawaiian card as my main card.

Recent flights are
- Summer 2022 : Purchased direct Nagoya flight on JAL
- Winter 2022 : Purchased direct Nagoya flight on JAL, miles earned on Hawaiian
- Summer 2023 : On JAL Purchased direct flight to Nagoya with JAL, mileage credited to Hawaiian
- Winter 2023 : Awarded flight to Haneda with Delta
So, twice a year, I will return home by myself.
Seat is normal economy.

Note that the mileage requirement for a Delta Honolulu Haneda award ticket is roughly 94,000 - 104,0000 miles in Main Cabin economy.
The credit card award gives you 15% off the required miles, so it's actually 80,000 - 88,000 miles.

Of course, I understand that your destination, class of service, and usual mileage accrual are not the same, but
I would be happy to hear your opinions.

I used to enjoy traveling with miles as a UNITED miles member, but in the last couple of decades, because it costs a lot of miles and there are restrictions on the airlines you can use, I have a card that comes with CAPITAL ONE travel credit, and each time I take a ticket on an airline of my choice and I get cash back in miles.

Other credit cards probably have a similar system ? but.... I only earn miles on each airline, but I don't have a credit function on them.

Thanks for the information.
I knew the name of Capital One, but did not know about the additional features.
It is an advantage to be able to buy a ticket on an airline that suits you each time.

I have frequent flyer accounts with United, JAL, ANA, Hawaiian, and Delta, but
all but Hawaiian and Delta are dormant. It is not easy to master the mileage way.

I also use Chase Sapphire Reserve, not with a specific one.
It is even considered the best card for people who travel a lot.
You can accumulate points and book with various airlines.
Also, you can use airport lounges with priority pass.
I recommend it. I recommend it,

I have never heard of Chase Sapphire Reserve.
The annual fee is high, but if you use the benefits well, it seems to pay for itself.
It is also good that you can make reservations without being tied to a single airline.
As expected, various credit card companies have come up with various services.
If I start looking into it, I will be addicted to it.
