I have a question about speeding in Los Angeles. I recently got a ticket from the police for going 79 mph on a highway with a speed limit of 65 mph. They said I did not have to go to court, but there are options from A to D that I can do and I read the explanation but did not really understand which one I should choose. I am wondering if I will have to pay a fine and if my points will be deducted as well ? I saw on the internet that it has something to do with the increase in insurance rates, so I am very worried. I would appreciate it if you could tell me more about this. Thank you in advance.

I'm sorry for your loss, can you please explain briefly from A to D ? I saw on the news that cameras are going to be installed to enforce speeding, they are supposed to be activated when you go over 11 mph and take a picture.

Court ( If they say you don't have to go to court ) then
first you get a letter from the court and if you admit guilt, you pay this fine amount and that's it. You can pay it online
If you don't admit it, go to court and contest it
I think these are the two ways
Of course you will get points for the violation, same as in Japan, but there is a one-day course called traffic school, and if you take it and pass it, the points will disappear
If you admit the crime and pay the fine, you will get a letter from the court and pay this fine. When you pay the fine, do you want to take the traffic school ? and if so, pay for it.
If you don't take traffic school, the points will remain and your car insurance rate will go up
If you take traffic school, the points will disappear and your insurance rate will remain the same
There are two types of traffic school, online or by attending the nearest school from home
From my experience, it's easier to attend school
So,
file an objection
admit
take traffic school
don't take traffic school
I think there are 4 typesThis text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

#1060 Roachiman,
I moved from NY to LA around 1971, so the hit song at that time was
Albert Hammond - It Never Rains in Southern California
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meDpNwem0Vo&list=RDmeDpNwem0Vo&start_radio=1
This was the song. I had heard about it, but the fact that it hardly rains means that I can ride my Motorcycle everyday. So I took a leap of faith, ate lunch at Famous Star and cheap today's specials at Norms Restaurant in the evening, saved up money throughout the year, and bought a new Storts Star that cost less than a Harley-Davidson Full Dress. I bought a new car, a Storts Star, which costs less than a Harley-Davidson Full Dress.This text has been translated by auto-translation.

Have you ever had "homesickness ( homesickness )" when you first arrived here from Japan?
I did. My first time in the U.S. was in the City of New York, where I stayed at the apartment of an older colleague who had come before me. Naturally, I could speak Japanese 24 hours a day, so I felt totally at ease, but I could not stay there for long, so I asked him to choose a suitable rental room from the Rent Room section in the Classified Section of the New York Times or some other local newspaper, and I called him and asked him to show me the room. I called him and asked him to show me the room at that location.

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?This text has been translated by auto-translation.

> 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.

I am now a permanent resident and my legal name in the US is my American husband's surname + an old-fashioned-looking Japanese name given to me when I was born in Japan. When I told my American acquaintances that I was born and raised in Japan and immigrated to the U.S. as an adult, they "What? I thought you were born here or lived here since your childhood" and they thought I was Japanese American. When I asked a Japanese shopkeeper at a train station in Japan a question in Japanese, he would say, "Oh, ! are you Japanese?

I can't do John or Mary. You have to write it alphabetically.
John is possible, but it is a man's name.
In Korean, you can write Jeon, Jeong, or Jong as a woman's name.
Also, you can change your name in court as much as you want without taking your nationality.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

You can change your name to whatever you want at the Oath Ceremony when you get your citizenship.
I didn't know that, so I didn't think about it beforehand. ? ? When I was wondering what to do, I saw a sign that said "Juicy Burger" standing where they were selling hamburgers. I thought for a moment about changing my last name to "Juicyburger" as a joke, but in the end I didn't. It's easy to change it on the spot, but if you want to change it later, you have to apply for it at the court and get it approved, which is a hassle.This text has been translated by auto-translation.

Thank you to those who replied. It seems that once I get my US citizenship, it will be relatively easy to change my name. One of the reasons I want to change my name is because I grew up a bit abused by my parents in Japan and I want to change my mood. My husband, who is American, likes my Japanese name and is not too supportive of changing it to an American-style English name, but he is a quiet person, so if I insist on changing it, I don't think he would object.

I think it has something to do with service, but the return system. Most stores in the U.S. allow smooth returns within about 30 days, even if the item is unboxed.
Shopping in Japan is time consuming because you have to look at the product carefully, touch it, and think about it because you cannot return it.This text has been translated by auto-translation.

Mile,
You are right.
Most of the products can be returned "after use" unless they are marked "non-returnable".
I have also returned a large box of reverse osmosis filtration equipment (Reverse Osmosis System), the largest of which would not fit in a passenger car.
However, there are long lines at the return counter at Costco and Walmart. If you are not good at it, you may have to wait in line for more than 30 minutes. But everyone is standing in line with a nonchalant look on their face. It's just like America.This text has been translated by auto-translation.

Hello.
That is a very troubling situation.
I am an owner renting out a house in Hawaii.
Normally, you are obligated to refund the deposit within 14 days of the end of the contract.
It depends on what the rental agreement says.
If you don't have any contact information other than LINE, you were renting through an acquaintance
?
In the meantime, you should prepare the contract, proof of payment and messages you have exchanged
.
I think it would be a good idea if you prepare the proof of the contract, proof of the payments you have made and the messages you have exchanged.
You may also consult with the following places.
