Hello, I temporarily returned to Japan at the end of June and needed a negative certificate for my 6 year old child. As far as I know, all children born in Japan need a negative certificate, but if you have any questions, please contact the Japanese consulate for a detailed answer. I am sure you have already returned to your home country, but I am writing to you now. I hope you are able to return home safely.

But you should look at it on an iOS device, like an iPad, because you get 50,000 pornographic popups on a Windows computer

＞ Neither drama nor variety shows are boring

I also find Japanese variety shows just too loud and boring at all.

However, I do like to watch fictional stories, especially "Partners".

There it is.
The one that has nothing to do with the topic and has no advice, but seems to want to say something anyway.
I really don't need this.
I think there are a lot of people who want to know what to do or what kind of scams there are, because scammers try to cheat people in various ways. It has been a social problem for a long time.

Anyway, people who try to speed things up are suspicious.
As ↑ person wrote, people who say "do application and fee" without even seeing the room are scammers who are exploiting personal information and fee in detail.
Even if you ask them to show you the room first, they will say that they need to check if it is qualified, or they will come up with some other reason.
If you like the property, you may be tempted to... Some people become. There are often cases where people who think I am not cheated become the party who is cheated.

If you paid with a card or check, it seems that you should go to that bank because they will have proof of payment, whatever it was. I don't think it is very common in this day and age to pay with cash, but if you paid with cash, no bank will handle it. （ But this is my guess as a layman ）

I went to the bank of the card I used when I made a purchase on the internet. Because the bank has a record of how much I paid to whom on XXXX day with that card. And I explained to them over the phone what I had done at that time, such as exchanging e-mails. There was no record online of the delivery of the purchase, so the bank's fraud department looked into it from there. The money was made up shortly after I told them I was a victim. The fraud department then said they would look into it. And if they found out that I had lied, they would seize the amount of money that had been made up. （ I think they said it was plus interest or a penalty ？. I didn't ask for details about that because I wasn't lying💦 ）.

Dear #23 I LOVE TORASAN

18 DEAL&NEGOSIATION （ intimidation and threats ） are the number eighteen scam artists

*****Correct spelling: NEGOTIATION
*****Did you write threats and intimidation in the sense of translating ？ I translate it in Japanese as deal and negotiation.　
***** threaten and intimidation in English, threaten and intimidation is not ？

By the way, a suitable occupation for you would be an English language student at an adult school.

#28 adult school,

You can tell from my text and the name of my post that it is a paradox or sarcasm
against Trump. The appropriate school for you, who can't see that, is kindergarten.
The correct phrase is
threat and intimidation, not threaten and intimidation. Moreover, this sentence of mine is not blackmail.
If it is blackmail, the English expression "extort" or "extortion" would be more appropriate.
If you too are going to ridicule the mere misspelling of someone's post, before you do so, you yourself
should go to an adult school and become an "English learning student".
Also, "English Language Learning Student" is not a profession. And while you're at it, go to a Japanese language school
and study Japanese harder.

It is a historical fact that politics and religion are closely related. Not only the Unification Church, but politicians will want to be associated with various religious groups, because they want to get votes.
I hope that this development will lead politicians to disassociate themselves from religious groups as a whole, maybe just the Unification Church, but that will be back in a few years.

HIsako-san

I have lived in a newly built condo in Kakaako.
Almost only Hawaii residents live there, so the lack of tourists
made it safer.

There were homeless people
in Kakaako Waterfront Park, but they seem to have been cleared out now.

My Kakaako condo had guest parking
which was convenient when friends came over, but I heard that Affordable condo doesn't seem to have
guest parking which is inconvenient.

I know LILIA is scheduled to be completed in Waikiki.

Do you plan to rent or buy ？?

Thank you Yaiyai

Guest parking issue, it would certainly be convenient if it were available
I am considering buying.

Kakaako is a new town and looks beautiful, but I don't know the status value of the land because I haven't studied it enough.
In Japan, an old but vintage condominium in Azabu or Yokohama has higher status than a new construction in a new town in Hachioji or Kawasaki.
Like that, I am cautious about that.

HIsako-san

Tourists like Waikiki, but
Hawaii residents prefer Ala Moana and Kakaako
because they are more convenient.
Waikiki is less safe and almost all the condos are older, so
HOA fees will be higher.
I have lived in older condos, but I felt inconvenienced by frequent elevator and plumbing
inspections and long waits.

Some Affordable condos, as the name suggests, are owned by owners with income below Average
I don't know if they are safe or not, but I think they are not bad since they are Hawaii residents who can afford Mortgages.

I think you need to check with real estate to see if the view in front of you will be changed, etc. since new construction is scheduled to continue in the Ala Moana Kaka'ako area
I think you need to check with real estate.

Japan and Hawaii are completely different, so I don't think we can compare.

The good
-Many of the residents around are normal
-Amenities are excellent
-Convenient

The bad
-Sewer/ditch smell
-Public schools are not in a good school district
-Parking is horribly tight in some buildings

I think it is important to note that some of the newer condos also have to be sold for a significant amount of money again when you sell the property if it becomes an Affordable property.

I think real estate agents are more trustworthy and local people will explain things to you better than the giggly Japanese bubbly ladies in Mercedes Benz who deal only with Japanese people.

Thank you all for your help and information -

Actually, I went to look at 3 condos in Kakaako today. The real estate agent was a Japanese woman
who had helped me before. It was not a Mercedes Benz. lol

The rooms and pools were all nice ！
What I noticed was that there were so many Chinese people living in all the condos. I don't mean to say that Chinese people are good or bad
I mean that there are many rich Chinese people ～.

Thank you, Condo.
Certainly not good to see in the school district. It will be one of the items to consider.


- I didn't know about the sewer/ditch smell, but I just called someone who knows more about it and
there are dozens of new condo buildings planned in the area and all the toilets and baths may not be able to drain in time with the current underground sewer lines.
So I hear that the smell of sewage in the city of Kaka'ako is becoming a problem.


It's a big purchase, I'll learn more.

Sorry, I will write briefly.

Cherry tomatoes, wakame seaweed, onion, kanikama, edamame, vinegar, ajipon, sugar, sesame oil
Just to dress.

This is a staple in our house.
It is better to cut cherry tomatoes in half to release the acidity and moisture inside.
As for the ingredients, anything that looks like it could be used in a salad can be added.

Exactly, you have a license for people coming from other states. If they rent their own car and split the cost of gas, it's cheap.
It's too much to ask to feel like a VIP with someone else's car and gas included at a low price.

I don't know if this will help you, as it is difficult for expatriates to open a new account in Japan now. When I was living in Japan, I got fed up with the high fees for money transfers from the US, so I opened a dollar deposit account at a bank. I would send money from my US bank (Citibank) to that dollar account in dollars. In that case, it is just a wire transfer fee $ 35 only. You then withdraw from the dollar deposit account in yen, but at the TTB rate of that day. （ Mitsubishi UFJ Bank ） If you have an account with Mitsubishi and you are a member of Global Direct, I believe you can open a dollar deposit account while living abroad, but I am not sure about this. Please check with your bank. Or, SMBC Trust Bank's overseas direct service may be able to do so, but again, please check with the bank. As far as I know, this method has the lowest exchange fee except for Wise.

Just a few days ago I returned from Narita by ZIP.

Checked baggage and carry-on baggage are all weighed.
I added the
value set ？ which includes seat selection, one piece of checked baggage, and an in-flight meal, because it would have been more expensive if I had added the options separately.
I bought an amenity set with a blanket because I can't sleep if the cabin is cold
The cabin is relatively warm and I may not have needed it.
No drinks are served unless you order a meal, so once you get through baggage check
you might want to buy a drink.

I was in a similar situation. It's tough. I sympathize with you.

I used ZIPAIR. It was quite good. The price is probably 90,000-110,000 yen round trip including meals, checked luggage, and seat selection. I think it is linked to the fluctuation of the yen. Also, I think it is much more expensive on holidays and special days. When I boarded, most people had the meals they ordered. And since it was empty, everyone was using 3 or 4 seats by themselves. I didn't see anyone using blankets. It wasn't that cold. I really appreciated the free wi-fi and saw many people watching Netflix and such.

If you don't have checked luggage and don't want to select a seat, I think you can do without the package. But if you have checked luggage, I think it would be more economical to get the value package, which allows you to choose your seat and includes food. The meal and water are also included.

I used Zip

When I used it, I asked the CA to switch seats because for some reason other people were sitting next to me even though there were empty rattles around me.

All the meals were very salty and tasted only of salt. So I recommend you to bring snacks instead of in-flight meals.

Everyone slept on the plane using 3 seats next to each other. I didn't think it was too small, and I didn't feel inconvenienced at all.
