Duplicate car FOB key

Word of mouth

I tried to make a duplicate of my car's FOB key, but the dealer's estimate was too much … I was wondering what to do, and then I got information that I could buy a third-party FOB key and have it made at a locksmith in town.
However, I could not find a good locksmith, and I was wondering what to do with it, and finally found one.
FOB duplication program and key cutting ( internal groove type = laser cutting ) and it was $ 120.
A place called keymastersla.com. There was no travel fee. I will share the information.
The car is a 2022 Toyota push start system.

I've been there myself. I finally found a small locksmith shop on Lomita Street in Torrence after many searches. It is a very friendly store and I highly recommend it.
The car is a 2010 LEXUS RX450H
I bought the FOB key on eBay beforehand and had it programmed at the small locksmith shop.
As an experience, the first key I bought was defective and unusable ( Locksmith no charge ) The second key I bought was programmed but did not open the hatchback but I still use it.
without key cut $ it was about 120. Dealer prices are certainly high.

Nice to meet you. I am the mother of a high school freshman living in Japan.
My 15-year-old son is pursuing his dream of becoming a professional football player and will be attending the Nike Football Camp at Stonehill College from July 26-30 by himself.
I finished arranging his airline ticket, but due to strict age restrictions in the U.S., the hotel where he was scheduled to stay for two nights ( July 25 and July 30 before and after his flight ) refused to allow him to check in alone at age 15. We were also refused an extension of the camp dormitory, and we are not allowed to accompany our parents.
So, this is a very impolite request, but we are looking for a kind Japanese person living near Boston who would be willing to let us stay at his/her home for a total of two nights (July 25th and July 30th) for a fee ( even sleeping together ). We will, of course, pay for your stay, actual expenses, gratuities, etc.
My son is very polite and stoic, devoted to sports. We are looking for someone who can help us.
Contact : yotata0806@gmail.com ( Tamura )

I used to look forward to watching Fuji Television's Japanese-language newscasts in the morning, but the broadcast has come to an end. As I get older, Japanese TV is pleasant to my ears, regardless of the quality of the content. If anyone knows of a way to watch Japanese language news in the U.S., please let me know!

In my case, I only connect to a VPN when I want to watch TVer or Japanese Amapura, and disconnect it when I'm done.
The trick is to choose a VPN from the list that has a speed of 100Mbps or more, and to choose a VPN that does not have "public" at the beginning. Also, sometimes the connection is lost in the middle, so you have to reconnect to another VPN. Well, anyway, it's free, so I'm willing to overlook a few inconveniences.

I would appreciate it if you could tell me.

We usually pick up about an hour after the scheduled arrival time. However, flights from Japan often arrive earlier than the scheduled arrival time due to a tailwind, in which case we will arrive a little earlier.

I returned from Japan in late April. 

What surprised me was that green card holders used to be in the US citizen line, but this time they were in the foreigner line. 

In other words. It means that the line for visitors to the U.S. from other countries (Japan ) is now much longer.

So, this time it took about 1 hour and 40 minutes.  (The parking fee for the person who was picking me up was huge. Sweat )

I don't understand the connection between rented rooms and homesickness. When you went to see the room, did you suffer from sick building syndrome and became homesick due to mental shock? Did you make the branch manager or senior staff responsible for causing the problem?

> I don't understand the connection between renting a room and homesickness

Sorry, I didn't explain myself well enough.

I started working as an expatriate in an office in New York City, my first foreign country, and I was living in the apartment of a senior Japanese expatriate. Therefore, there were Japanese people around me 24 hours a day, and of course we spoke in Japanese.

After that, I found an apartment for rent near Broadway/104th St. in Uptown New York and moved there. The landlord was a Latino-like grandmother, and of course I could only communicate in English.

On holidays, from my window, I can only see the windows of a similar old apartment building across the street that is 10 or more stories tall. I didn't have anything better to do on my day off, so I just sat around and didn't look at the windows of the apartment across the street, and I felt homesick, as if I had never felt like this in Japan.

I couldn't stay in my room and just sat around, so I went outside and walked east to the north end of the famous Central Park. I walked outside to the east and entered the north end of the famous Central Park. This area is the location of the famous movie/musical West Side Story (1961 film). My office staff told me to be careful because there are street gangs roaming around there, but I didn't get into any danger because I only explored that area in the middle of the day.

Since this is a cate of the elderly, I will tell you a story about when I was in junior high school.

My memory is not so clear anymore, but when I was in junior high school, we had a class called "movie appreciation". I think it was about 70 years ago.

The movie the teacher chose at that time was titled *"The Ten Commandments" (. The two classes got together to see that movie, and walked in droves to a movie theater in town that specialized in foreign films. Those were the days of "give birth and multiply," and there were up to six classes of 40 or so students in one class.

https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%8D%81%E6%88%92_%28%E6%98%A0%E7%94%BB%29

Thinking back on it now, it was a movie that was the root of the "West," but back then I didn't understand it at all. But I still remember that someone was The only thing I still remember is the scene where someone prays and the sea breaks apart and becomes a narrow dirt road.

Before the Corona fiasco, I used to take free bus tours to casinos,
comp hotels, and spend most weekends playing golf for a senior fee.
The participants were of all races and ages, and it was quite enjoyable, but
now, ? for some reason, the free bus trips seem to have disappeared.
Going to the local senior center is not very interesting.
I wonder if there is some place where the elderly can spend their time in peace ? ? ?
Every week, my wifey takes me to Pasadena for ballroom dancing, and I spend my waiting time in the park.
This is pretty good without spending money ! If you ask Are you Alone? in rapid succession, you'll run into quite a few beautiful women. 、、、、、

! I did it again !

Today ( I drove ) to a nearby city senior center (about 2miles away) for a yoga class for the elderly
My wife drove me to the center.

I went into the room where the yoga class was held, spread out the equipment and waited for the class, but Dahlemo did not show up. I went to the receptionist and asked her about it, but she told me that there was no class today.

I had no choice but to pack my gear and ask my wife to pick me up to go home. The phone function has been turned off because of the fees.

My yoga gear including iron arrays is very heavy. I carried it all the way to my house in the heat. This is what I call "stepping on it and kicking it". Well, let's think positively that it was a good exercise.

I was in the immigration line for 2 hours when I came back in Feb. As a GC holder, I am usually instructed to stand in the US passport line with my US citizen family members, but this time I was instructed to stand in the tourist line with my family members because of the new rules. So all the US Passport family members stood in the tourist line with me for 2 hours.

When my turn finally came, all of my US citizen family members were sent to a separate room with me, and they were also inconvenienced. I have a feeling that even if I apply for Global Entry, it will be rejected because of my history of visa denial decades ago.

I used to be sent to a separate room every time, so I got a redress number, and after getting the number, I don't have to be sent to a separate room anymore, but this time, the officer at the counter happened to be new, and all my family members were exhausted after being sent to a separate room for a long time.

I want to get global entry, but I think I will fail in the screening process, so I have given up on MPC for now ….

Those of you who have crossed the ocean to come here to Los Angeles and Japan
are always concerned about something related to your travel between Los Angeles and Japan.

If you have anything to say or questions, please feel free to write.
I'll try to write "something" as well.

Example :
What means do you use to call when you return to Japan?

Which seat on the plane do you prefer, Aisle or Window, front, back,

Which airline do you think has the best food?

Which mode of transportation do you use to get to the local area?

and so on and so on

In #4561, I wrote "I was born in the middle of the war", but the Japanese dictionary defines "Sengen-ka" as

* the generation who spent their youth during the period of World War II. * *

as opposed to the postwar generation, and since I was born about a year before the end of the war (or more precisely, the anniversary of "defeat" )), I

do not belong to the "wenchu-ha". I don't really care about that. I don't really care, but I was curious.

The date for another trip to Japan is approaching this year, and I will be bringing my cell phone with me, which is a T-Mobile cell phone.

Currently, when you arrive in Japan and get off the plane, your cell phone is automatically connected to the cell phone company, right?

I haven't been to Japan for the past 2 years, so I don't know the current situation in that area.

If you have been to Japan recently, please let us know how your cellphone works when you arrive in Japan,

or what kind of operation you have to do.

Three days ago, on May 21, I "returned" to LAX because I am a US citizen. I usually fly ANA, but this was my first time to fly Zip Air. I think it was $ 510 for a round trip (same as other airlines, but I forgot the exact price due to my late age).

As for seat comfort, I think it was slightly narrower than JAL/ANA. I was born a full year before the end of the war and have a long torso and short legs, but when I try to sit comfortably, my knees just touch the back of the front seat.

Also, there is no monitor screen in the front, that is, on this side of the backrest of the front seat. If you want to watch movies, you have to bring your own Laptop or IPad. My wife was watching a recorded drama on the IPad, while I was listening to music with the earphones she lent me. The earphones are tiny ones that go in your ears.

As an overall evaluation, I have the impression that it is not "cheap or bad" but "cheap so this is what you get". I recommend it to those who want to keep the round-trip fee low.

Most of this trip to Japan was also spent in Tokyo.

We went to Kaminarimon-dori in Asakusa to buy sweatshirts with hiragana characters on them as souvenirs, especially for Segare and Totsan, both of whom are of Totsan age.

However, it was the day of the annual Sanja Festival in Asakusa. So, the Nakamise street was so crowded that foreign tourists and others could not walk there properly.

It was also lunch time and all the diners and restaurants were full. Finally, I found a small restaurant and peeked in, only to find that a couple of oriental tourists had just finished eating and were leaving, so I was lucky to get in.

I wonder what was on the menu. I'm too late in life to remember. I have a vague memory of eating cold tokoroten as well. Even that simple thing was served with nostalgia.

I remember eating kanten and tokoroten.
