Regarding popcorn sealing

I was thinking of moving and looking at condo listings in central Waikiki.

When I came to Hawaii, I didn't know about it and lived there, but
along the way, a friend told me about it and informed me of the dangers of popcorn sealing.
They said it was a ceiling treatment that contained asbestos, and that if you touched it in any way, or on a dry day, the powder would fly around and if you inhaled it, you would get lung cancer.

The room we looked at this time had a popcorn ceiling, but
the owner was trying to rent it without explaining that at all, so we are not going to rent it.

Many of the condos in Waikiki have popcorn ceilings, so if you are going to rent a condo, I would recommend that you find a place with a clean ceiling and sign a contract to avoid health hazards.

Popcorn ceilings are not a problem as long as they are not disturbed and get airborne and into your lungs. You will need a professional to remove it, otherwise risk dangerous exposure.

The U.S. may be more lax on asbestos than Japan.
A building at Sawtelle and Olympic is being renovated right now, and they spent months removing asbestos from the steel frame in its entirety with no covering whatsoever.

Popcorn sealing is falling apart and spontaneously at a friend's house, is it safe ？?

The building along Wilshire has recently undergone renovation, and the asbestos that is soaked into the steel frame is now exposed.
In Japan, we would do construction work by covering the entire building with full protective clothing.

I am considering leasing a car.
A friend of mine recently told me that he signed a lease on a Toyota Rav4 for about $ 300 per month after negotiating. I'd like to lease a car myself based on this, but I'm not sure if this amount is reasonable ？
I've thought about buying a used car, but which do you guys prefer if you lease or buy ？
preferably Toyota or Honda? I want a car that is as cheap and safe as possible. ......

I was going to do the same thing. That's why he couldn't come out anymore. Baikin also wrote that even if he was at fault, he should ask Ichi or Bachi, so it is clear that he was at fault. #5, the most vicious one, spent $ 500 and tried to make the power company pay the full amount, but it seems he got criticized and deleted it in a rush.

It's an interesting development that all the vicious ones are getting away with it.

・ Negative certificate required （ Follow the format ）
・ upon entry Install an app on your phone
・ Affidavit, etc.

Even for connecting flights, it seems that you have to be inspected within 72 hours of entering Japan, which is very difficult. If you don't have a smartphone, you have to rent one at your own expense, and each person over 13 years old needs one smartphone, so you need to be prepared.

Working on an F1 Visa and Withholding Taxes

I came to the U.S. in September 2020 and am attending a language school 4 days a week, 4 hours a day.
My part-time employer has asked me to fill out Form W4.
Will filling out this form affect my F1 visa in any way or have any negative impact on my future visa status (permanent residence)
?
I just started working, about 18 hours a week.
If there is a problem, I would like to discuss it with my employer and deal with it.
I am looking forward to hearing from anyone who knows more about this.

Anyway, live hard. And don't let your F1 visa run out. There will be a bright future for those who work hard.

With an F1 visa, it is illegal to work with an SSN.
You can either get it in cash or borrow an SSN from a friend or someone else.

There is nothing refreshingly evil about it, but working without work authorization is a violation of your F-1 visa status.
Even if you are fired, you should not submit any forms.
You have been in English school since last September, do you have a SSN （ social security number ）?
If you have it, you should never tell your employer.
This could of course have a negative impact on your future visa application, and the risk is even greater when it comes to applying for permanent residence.
It might even prevent you from getting ESTA.
Then you cannot enter the country easily.
Of course, even if you do not apply for anything, if you are found, you will be deported and will not be able to enter the country for many years.
On the other hand, there is no problem if you fill out and submit various forms with your SSN.
Are you thinking of going to college or something?
I don't think there are many on-campus jobs at English schools, but I think you will be able to find one if you join a college or other institution in the future.
After 9 months in college, you can apply for Pre-Completion OPT and work outside your major.
If you can't wait until then and risk a status violation, you will still have to find a place where you can work without an SSN.
It's none of my business, but in any case, I think you should do some research and gather as much information as possible before taking action.

I can't believe someone would write something like this.
I think they told you that when you applied for your visa.
Why would you break the law so much to study language in the US ？
If you don't have enough money, why didn't you go to Australia or something where you can work while you study ？
Not enough research ？.

I am looking for someone to purchase a vintage fan from an antique store in Dallas and ship it to Japan on my behalf.
I asked the store to ship the fan to Japan, but they said they could not do so.
I really want to buy this fan, so I am waiting to hear from someone who can handle it.

We are thinking of paying around $ 100 for the person who responds.
The size of the fan would be about 58" tall and 30lb in weight.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
