Please let me know which airline you all use when returning to Japan

Basically, I want to return home cheaply, but I recently became an ANA frequent flyer member. I recently heard that with JAL, if you book a Japan domestic flight at the same time, the Japan domestic flight is free.

How do you decide which airline to fly with when returning to Japan?

JAL VS ANA
I think what you want to know is JAL vs ANA, then you should write "cheap airlines"
If you're looking for cheap flights, frequent flyer membership is just a drag.
ANA and JAL are expensive, so it takes a long time to accumulate mileage.

＞ Recently JAL offers free Japan domestic flights if booked at the same time


Ho, this is new to me, but I think the period or conditions must be tight.

There used to be such a benefit for LAX - HND/NRT in business class.

I fly JAL or ANA once a year to/from Japan and always fly Haneda ↔ Shikoku on domestic flights.

Please tell me more about that free promotion.

These days, one way ￥ is almost always over 10,000.

#854 I miss it so much, I was still in Japan at that time.　I was still in Japan at that time, watching Charlie's Angels and Michael Jackson on TV.　　Then I came to California, the place of my dreams, almost 40 years ago, and the world has changed so much.　　I moved from California to Texas two years ago, but I would definitely like to return to California again someday.　　But I wonder if I'll still be here ～ ⁇

＞ Charlie's Angels (1976 - 1981)

I missed it ！ I used to watch this beautiful 3 woman detective TV drama here like a dream.

＞ I moved to Texas

Texas is similar to here in California, one step out of the city and the desert is endless.

In Texas, I only stopped at Dallas/Ft. Worth Airport to change planes to go to Cancun, Mexico, but

In Oklahoma, I had business in Muskogee, a town in the middle of the countryside. I took a rental car from the Oklahoma City Airport

and drove along the endless highway in the desert.

I felt like I was on the wrong road, and finally I came across a house along the road

where a grandmother was sitting in the sun on an easy chair. <2067> I asked her which way to go, but I had no idea if she had an accent or was just blurting it out.

Well, I felt like I was in the bosom of true America on that trip.

Once a week, there is a yoga class at the Multipurpose Senior Center, which is managed and operated by the City of LA.

In addition to yoga classes, there are painting and other hobby classes, and free lunch is available, but the taste is not good at all. I used to be the only Japanese person who went here before Corona, but back then there used to be 15 ～ 20 people there every time. Now there are at most 8. I was almost the only man. The members who used to come before Corona no longer come. Some of them were over 80 years old at that time, but I think they are no longer in this world.

Of the three Angels,

Farrah Fawcett was probably the most popular in the TV Entertainment community at that time. I think Farrah Fawcett was the most popular of the three Angels in the TV Entertainment area back then.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farrah_Fawcett

She was shorter than the other two, but cuter by far.

Also, I am not sure if it was around the same time, but there was a female version of "Wonder Woman" of "Superman" on TV

.

The scene of "Wonder Woman" flying around on the roof of the Anheuser-Busch Brewery

near 405 and Roscoe Blvd. in the San Fernando Valley Budweiser ® is still remembered to this day. > I still remember the scene where she flies around.

Marriage after overstay, green card

Hello. I entered the country previously on a tourist visa to meet my American boyfriend (now husband). My boyfriend became sick with an internal disease and while I was taking care of him, his visa expired and he overstayed. We later married in the U.S. and my husband is now healthy and he has a stable income. I have never worked in the US. I am applying for a green card, but I am paroling ？ because of my overstay and I think I will have to go back to the US Embassy in Japan for an interview.
I am quite anxious because Trump will be president for a period of time. I am worried that I will not be able to re-enter Japan ？ if I go back to Japan because of the alternative situation due to Trump being tough on immigrants.
I would appreciate your advice or anyone with similar experiences. Sorry for the rambling.

citizenship in that country, the other country will be contacted.

It was ok ！ I overstayed only a short time and got married right away, so they said I just need to go through the process of changing my status.
It's the end of the year and I'm happy that I'm going to get a green card.

There was a fee before Wise.
I don't think it is possible for international money transfers to be free of remittance fees.
When I was put on hold due to a mistake in operation when I temporarily returned to Japan, customer service helped me out with their quick response.
So far, I think Wise is the fastest and cheapest.

If you know of a place in Honolulu, preferably near Ala Moana or Downtown, where I can get my watch battery changed, please let me know. The battery in my watch that I use for work has run out and I need to get it replaced ASAP, but the watch shop on Pensacola St. that I usually go to is on vacation until 12/14, so I am in a bind.

Alamoana or Down town Longs Drugs can change your battery ， You can drop off your watch and pick it up on the designated day.
It's not like in Japan where you have to wait in the store while they change the battery

You can get an estimate from Home Depot first.
You can also get quotes from other local contractors.
The actual work is done by Mexican workers, but they are like supervisors, so they care about the workmanship. The actual work is done by Mexican workers, but they are like supervisors, so they are concerned about the quality of the work. You can also complain to them.

I have no problem requesting more than a week off when I'm part time and have no benefits ？ I reported 3 months before the expected date.
Depending on the size of the company, busy season, etc., there are even times when my co-workers and bosses are not happy with me ？ If taking a vacation would cause problems for the company, I would be willing to quit.

You mean in Hawaii （ within the US ）.
I think there are not many thoughtful people who report three months before their schedule, but unless it is a very small company, everyone takes their vacations without hesitation. I think only Japanese people can't take a vacation because they wonder if it would be a nuisance.

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

Please let me know if you know of any good places to go.

I have been to "Kaniba Onsen" in Nyuto Onsenkyo, Senboku City, Akita Prefecture, quite a while ago. As the name suggests, the hot spring water in this hot spring village is slightly muddy white. The open-air bath in the hot spring on YouTube is the best. When you put on sandals from the main house, walk outdoors and go down to the stream, you will find this large open-air bath, and when you soak in the slightly hot water, you will say "Oh, paradise, paradise".

I am not sure if I will be here again next year. Please let me know if there are any hot spring resorts around Echigo-Yuzawa in the direction of Niigata on the Joetsu Line where I can relax.

Since then, I have been groping around on the net,

searching for the word "hidden hot spring" with the same meaning as "unexplored region",

but the word "hidden hot spring" is not even in the dictionary.

It is difficult to find a hot spring with the same atmosphere as the

open-air bath at " Kaniba Onsen" in Nyuto Onsenkyo, Senboku City, Akita Prefecture, as mentioned above, where we went outside from the ryokan building and went down to a ravine on the side.

Round trip train fare including Shinkansen is about 72,000 yen for two people.
