Mail from Japan is supposed to be $ less than 100, so $ my friend sent it to me at about 80.
It was sent by air from Tokyo on Sept. 12, and has stayed in San Francisco until Sept. 16 ～ now.

I bought a mail order from Korea, not from Temu
It usually takes 5 days to arrive, but it took 10 days.
$ I ordered 60, but there was a 15% customs fee added to the order.
$ I thought if it was for personal use within 100 there was no need for customs duty, there was no additional taxation upon receipt.

I'm not from China, so that's not an answer, but
$ even if it's less than 100, they still charge duty.
And Trump is talking about an additional tax on imports from China.

I shop TEMU, SHEIN, and others often.
I like TEMU because they have a good variety of products, but
you have to buy a minimum of $30 or $35, so
I shop more at SHEIN these days.
It arrived today, but
it seems that the hub seems to be in the US these days, so it seems to arrive earlier.
I have been able to buy pretty things without any problems so far.

For a big event, Universal Studios in Hollywood

Halloween Horror Nights

They are going to do

But as someone who has been giving candy to neighborhood kids in Halloween costumes at home for over 50 years, I would like to see Kay's kids wear funny costumes if possible, go door to door in residential neighborhoods, knock on doors and yell "Trick or Treat" when the door opens. When the door opens, they should shout "Trick or Treat" to receive candy. I know this would be difficult for foreign visitors with children.

My daughter has been to Knott's Berry twice.

She says the maze is fun.

After 11pm all the lights are turned off and they give you a dim flashlight to walk through the maze.

It may be too scary for small children, but I think they will enjoy it because the park is for small children.

Mr. Genki today

Thank you for taking the trouble to check us out ！
Thank you very much.

As a matter of fact, there was a kind-hearted person who contacted me directly and said "I will give you a car seat that you no longer use", so I don't have to rent anymore. ^##^)

I'm glad I posted this on BibiNavi.

Thank you very much to the person who gave it to me and to Genki-san for taking the time to check it out ♪

I used it about 4 years ago.
https://www.roadrunnerautotransport.com/
I had no problems then.

If I had to hazard a guess, I would say
1, you can't set a specific date and time for pickup and drop off, and I remember having to be flexible for a week or two for both.
2, I chose to meet them at a large location because they would come to pick me up in a large truck that carried my car. It seems like you can't move within a small residential community that is gated or something.

#13 Dear Home

＞ If you live abroad, you were not really allowed to keep a Japanese bank account in the first place.

You cannot open a new bank account, but you can maintain the following bank accounts.
★ Bank of Mitsubishi UFJ ★ Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation ★ Mizuho Bank ★ SMBC Trust Bank Prestia, etc.

Since I received my lottery winnings from Mizuho Bank,
I was forced to open a new account to receive the large winnings. I was forced to open a new account in order to receive a high amount of winning money.

＞ So if I put money in my own bank in the U.S. and not my husband's money into my own Japanese bank, will the Japanese bank think something is wrong and reject it? If the use of the money is clear, it will not be rejected.
I have experience of transferring about $500,000 from both Japanese and US banks.
If you are stingy with fees or hide it, it will be rejected.
*If you don't do money laundering or tax evasion, you can do it without any problem at all.

＞ I really wonder how people buy Japanese properties while living abroad.

My friends around me are also buying properties in Japan with this weak yen.
They all have decent employment experience in Japan and maintain bank accounts from that time.
I have also maintained Mitsubishi UFJ Bank for a long time, but it is necessary to maintain an account because I can receive pension benefits from Japan as well.

#15 Dear Home

＞ I also worked full time for a long time both in Japan and here,

So you don't maintain a proper city bank account ？
Many city banks support internet banking and maintain accounts for overseas residents. and many city banks support online banking, and also support account maintenance for overseas residents.

＞ When I moved here, there was no online banking or I didn't know about it.

I have been in the US for 25 years, and I applied for online banking at the bank counter when I returned to Japan.

＞ I am not sure what would happen in my case, because I thought that I would be asked to cancel my account if I contacted the bank directly, since you are not allowed to keep your account without special procedures.

It doesn't make sense for me to maintain an unauthorized bank account that I can't maintain.
It is bad enough that I am too scared to contact the bank.
There is no way you can send money to such a bank account.
If it is not a legally permitted bank account, money transfer itself is money laundering.

＞ The last time I tried to withdraw money from my post office account, I was of course required to provide identification and a letter or other document confirming an address that matches that identification.

Basically, it is fraudulent for Japan Post Bank to allow an overseas resident to maintain an account.

*Japan Post Bank requires a special reason for an overseas resident to maintain an account.
For example, an account can be maintained only when there is a specific purpose, such as salary transfer or loan payment.
For the procedure, a representative must be appointed to complete the non-resident notification procedure.
In addition, deposits, withdrawals, and balance inquiries must be made by setting up an agent to do so on your behalf.

It is safer not to expose the fraud of holding an account at Japan Post Bank here.

It is something I am considering as well. Sorry if this is a duplicate of someone else's answer.
I have my own apartment and would like to buy a new one.

If you search for "foreigners buying real estate", don't you usually find information by googling ？
If you prefer English, you can contact real estate agencies around Tokyo, for example Shinjuku and Roppongi, that often do sales to foreigners.　They may be able to help you.

If you tell them you are going to buy a property, they will probably reply. By the way, you cannot get a loan for money in Japan.
They said it is because I don't have a job, no account, and can't prove a sum of money.

Payment is in lump sum ONLY.
It is a lump sum transfer, but if it means that you don't have a bank account, it is dangerous if you don't choose a real estate agent who is well organized and has a lot of experience, because the account will be borrowed and temporarily held in the real estate company's account.
That's what I'm afraid of.

Property taxes and such will be incurred every year, so I'm sure they can tell you how to pay those as well.

Sorry, it was JUST iFO!

Of course, I searched for "bilingual real estate" and inquired at the real estate agencies that came up, but one of them wouldn't let me inquire by e-mail without a Japanese cell phone number, another one didn't respond until I was told that a representative would get back to me later, and the one I finally got to talk to asked me if I wanted to buy the property in cash ？. I thought I could discuss such a matter with them, but I replied that cash was fine, but if there was any other way, please let me know.
I thought I could discuss such matters with them, but I answered that cash was fine, but if there was any other way, please let me know. The property I inquired about is not in the city center, but in the 23 wards of Tokyo.
I am thinking of a lump sum. It is true that I am a Japanese citizen, but if my husband pays for everything, it would be one way to inquire about real estate that caters to foreigners who might be able to advise me on the purchase under the terms of the foreigner quota. But perhaps the procedure should be less complicated for me, a Japanese national, than for my husband, a foreigner, to purchase the property. But thank you Crab3 for one idea.

I quit drinking alcohol first, avoided fast food as much as possible, cut out sodas and juices
drank 4 500cc bottles of water a day, and drank about 8 oz. of carrot juice cold pressed from carrots, celery, （ lemon, ginger and apple ） three times a day. I gave her about 8 oz. of cold-pressed carrot juice a day in 3 divided doses ｡
In 3 days her blood pressure dropped to 148 → 110 and she is still doing well.
When I took my blood pressure at the hospital, it was 110 and I was praised.
I also ate soup with various vegetables boiled as much as possible.
Sugar raises blood pressure, so I had him cut back on sweets.
However, I was not so concerned about seasoning, and tried to make it as tasty as possible.
We use pink salt for salt. I recommend it because it lowers blood pressure and makes you healthier.
