I am planning to move to Los Angeles next year for work.
My family of five, my wife and three children, would like to live in Rancho Palos Verdes, but I saw on the news that heavy rains have caused landslides, so much so that a state of emergency has been declared.
Has the area near Palos Verdes become an area to avoid? I would appreciate it if you could let me know the current situation.
Thanks in advance.

Palos Verdes Estates has its own police department and is very safe, while Rancho Palos Verdes is under the jurisdiction of the LA County Police Department and is slow to respond, so there are a lot of gated residents. Rancho is the same near the ocean, but either way, the scenery and air are great.

But I was surprised at first, when I drove a little bit, to see oil tanks lined up like in the middle east, depending on the direction of the highway. You could call the police or fire department directly and ask them. The neighboring city of Redondo Beach also seems to be nice with an independent school district and police department.

Recent changes may have relocated channels or updated services. There may also be a problem with your configuration or connection.

For Smart TV repair, your first step is to contact AT&T support. They may be able to diagnose the problem and repair or replace it if needed. There are also repair stores outside of AT&T, but it is recommended that you consult with AT&T support.

Yes, AT&T is a provider of Internet and TV services, but they may not repair the Smart TV itself. If you can no longer watch Smart TV, here are some possible causes and remedies.

Possible causes and remedies
Network connection problems:

Check Wi-Fi settings: make sure your Smart TV is connected to the correct Wi-Fi network.

Reboot: Try rebooting the router and Smart TV.

TV configuration problem:

Reset network settings: try resetting and reconfiguring the Smart TV network settings.

Software updates: Make sure your Smart TV firmware is up-to-date and update as needed AT&T settings:

Contact support: Contact AT&T customer support Contact them to verify your service configuration and connection.

If repair is needed
If your Smart TV is malfunctioning, consider the following repair services ：

Manufacturer customer support: Contact the manufacturer directly, such as LG or Samsung, repair service. Local repair services: You can also use repair services in the Gardena and Torrance area. Examples include Best Buy's Geek Squad.

Another good way to find a repair service near you is to check reviews on Google Maps or Yelp!

If you have a new modem, it means that your old TV is not connected to the new modem ？ You can set up the TV to connect to the new modem ？ If you can't see the TV as soon as you switch to fiber, it's not a malfunction, it's just a disconnection. I think.

While transferring money through a bank is generally a safe and reliable way to send money, there are a few points to keep in mind.

Remittance fees: It is important to check the fees in advance, as different banks have different fees.

Transfer time: Depending on the bank you are transferring to and the time of day, it may take several days.

Payee information: exact bank name, account number, SWIFT code, etc. is required.

Tax Reporting: Tax reporting may be required for remittances over $250,000.

It is best to contact your bank directly for specific bank names and detailed procedures. If there is anything else you would like to know, please feel free to let us know.

$ If you're going to send 250,000 in dollars, you should definitely send it when the yen is cheap. Today $ is a good day to send money because 1=158 yen. Japanese banks charge about 3 yen as a commission. All banks charge roughly the same fee. The remittance fee is not much. Japanese banks usually call the receiver if the amount is over 10 million yen, and if the receiver does not answer the phone, they will not receive the money even if the money is transferred. Since the money is received on the day the receiver answers the phone, the amount in yen is transferred after approximately 3 yen is deducted from the exchange rate on that day.

In ancient customs and cultures, it was common to refrain from celebrations in the year of the death of someone close to you. In Japan, in particular, there is a period of mourning （ called momochu ） during which it is customary to avoid celebrations and fancy events. The mourning period usually lasts one year from the date of death.

However, in today's society, individual families and communities may differ in their responses. While some people honor tradition and observe the custom of mourning, others choose to continue with their daily lives while remembering the deceased.

It is important to be respectful of your neighbor's feelings and cultural background when dealing with Christmas gifts. If you have concerns, you may want to ask for confirmation beforehand or choose a modest, heartwarming gift.

Difference between citizenship and permanent residence

I would like to know everyone's thoughts or experiences. I am currently pregnant with my second child and considering having the baby in Japan for various reasons. Our first child was born in the U.S., so we are dual internationals. We are both Permanent Residents and I have a current renewal receipt that allows me to come and go from Japan to the US until 2027.

I know that if I give birth in Japan, my child will be a Permanent Resident when we come back together, but has anyone raised a child in the US as a Permanent Resident ？

Have there been any inconveniences ？ I have not had any inconveniences so far. I have not experienced any inconvenience with permanent residency so far, so I don't know of any disadvantages that I am familiar with. I would like to know before deciding that I will give birth in Japan.


Please help me ！

I think the most important point is,

Once you get citizenship, unless you renounce your US citizenship in the future,
you have to pay taxes to the US for the rest of your life, even if you live in Japan or other countries outside the US.
Even if you don't live in the US.

My dual nationality child's Japanese passport expires in six months. When I tried to purchase a ticket to Japan for next summer, I was unable to make a reservation because my passport information is about to expire. Since my U.S. passport is valid until 2026, can I travel to Japan with only my U.S. passport this time? I originally traveled between Japan and Hawaii with only one U.S. passport, but when travel restrictions were established in Corona, I got a Japanese passport as well.

I was able to purchase a ticket successfully with my American passport information. Even though I purchased the ticket with an American passport, when I arrive at the airport in Japan, should I get in line with the Japanese and enter the country with a Japanese passport? On the way back, do I leave the Japanese airport with a Japanese passport and enter with an American passport when I arrive in Hawaii?

Ho, this is new to me, but I think the period or conditions must be tight.

There used to be such a benefit for LAX - HND/NRT in business class.

I fly JAL or ANA once a year to/from Japan and always fly Haneda ↔ Shikoku on domestic flights.

Please tell me more about that free promotion.

These days, one way ￥ is almost always over 10,000.
