Hospital specializing in thyroid

I recently moved to Irvine.

I have had thyroid problems for 10 years since I was in Japan and need to go to the hospital here as well.
If anyone has been to a hospital for the same thyroid related symptoms, I would like to get recommendations for a hospital.

Did you have the surgery with or without health insurance?
If not, you need to write down the costs incurred so the reader can understand.

Taxes on Real Estate Purchases in Japan

I just can't bring myself to move the yen right now because of the amazingly weak yen situation.
At the moment, I would like to buy a house in Japan to secure a place to stay in Japan, as I would like to live a hybrid lifestyle in the future.
In addition to the property tax in Japan,
are there any other taxes that would apply if I owned land in another country in the U.S. ？
Are there any documents that I need to obtain from the consulate or other authorities when I purchase a house in Japan?
Do I have to file a tax return with the IRS for deposits in Japan,
or do I have to file for land, houses, etc. ？
I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has had similar experiences, any problems, good or bad, etc.

> I just can't bring myself to move the yen right now because the weak yen situation is so great.

AI predictions say it will eventually reach 230 yen per dollar. If I don't move now, I will lose a lot of money.

> Do I have to declare my land, house, etc. ？

I heard that property tax in Japan was deductible in the US until a few years ago although I don't have to. I heard that if you rent out your house in Japan, you have to declare your rental income in the US.

>hybrid living

Do you have permanent residency in Japan? It would be miserable if you have a place to live in Japan but not the right to live there, like the Chinese who buy a bomb of Japanese real estate but cannot live in Japan.

>Hybrid Living

Even if you have relatives and family in Japan, it is still uncomfortable to have them stay there all the time. Hotels are expensive.
Every time I go back to Japan, I wish I had my own house where I can live without any worries.

（ LOL ） The yen has appreciated by about 20 yen compared to 2 months ago
If you spend your Japanese yen in Japan, the weak yen doesn't matter
If you want to convert your Japanese yen to dollars, now is a good time to do so
I wonder 。。。。
By the way, are you going to buy a house with cash ？ or is this just a dream for the next few decades ？ the laws will have changed by then.......no need to talk about it now.

About U.S. cell phone numbers that can receive SMS in Japan

Question
#1
  • Yoshi
  • mail
  • 2024/08/08 08:39

I am looking for an American cell phone carrier
that allows me to receive SMS in Japan.
Let's share information here.

I'll start with
1)onesimcard's US mobile number for bank verification
https://www.onesimcard.com/cell-phone-accessories/usa-2-step-bank- verification-number/
It costs about $80 per year, but there are some banks
that do not accept it. For example, us bank will reject
your phone number if you register it.

2)tello
https://tello.com/
You can keep it for at least $5 a month.
But outside of US, only wifi calling is available.
When I went back to Japan temporarily, I couldn't even receive SMS.
I tried to contact tello, but they didn't give me a clear answer.
Is it a problem with my phone model?
Did you receive SMS in Japan?

That's all from me. Please let me know your
information too.

I think most other MVNOs are the same, but H2O wireless also has no contract, so you just can't use it when the plan you purchased expires, whether you pay monthly or annually.
If you can't use it anymore, you can purchase another plan and you can use it again with the same SIM.

I hadn't seen this since it turned into a rough thread, but I'm relieved that it is a constructive exchange of ideas.
H2O wireless confirmed. It looks good that international roaming is supported.

I was in Europe last week, and as for Tello, both phone calls and SMS were
OK with wificalling. However, it did not support international roaming. I wonder if wificalling is available in Japan.
It also supports eSIM, so I can continue it even after I go back to Japan.

It has been 2 years since I returned to Japan and I am still receiving 2-step verification SMS and SMS for bank and mutual fund accounts, Paypal, etc. via Google Voice without any problems.

I cancelled my cell phone in the U.S. when I returned to Japan, but in Japan I have a contract with Rakuten Mobile using the same iPhone, and since my Google Voice number is still active, I can receive the same SMS from both my registered email and the application.
I recently opened a new bank account for fund transfer during a business trip to the US as well, and I am also receiving 2-step verification for that.

I bought a wrong airline ticket, and I couldn't go to the baseball game....

Can anyone please give me some wisdom?

Because I bought the wrong airline tickets
I may not be able to make it
to the Dodgers game ＆ to watch the Dodgers game or to the distribution of the Ohtani Bobbleheads.
I hope to arrive at the airport at 2pm and be at the ballpark by 4pm. We will not be renting a car and will be moving by public transportation.
I have suitcases so I cannot go straight to the stadium
Lockers near Union Station are open until 5pm, so
pickup will be the next day.
I haven't gotten a hotel yet, so at worst I'll stay at a hotel near Union Station, but I'm trying to avoid staying near that area due to budget concerns.

We don't need to be there at 4pm since the doors open at 5pm to begin with ？
What is the best way or place to leave suitcases ？
What time can we leave the airport in the first place if we plan to arrive at 2pm ？
I could bring a knapsack at Angel Stadium （ but I need to check it in at the stadium ） but at Dodger Stadium ？
if it's possible, can I bring a change of clothes and leave my suitcase in the locker and pick it up the next day ？ or is that too much to ask?

Any advice or ideas?

I've been to many places,
I don't know the price in Japan so I can't say, but
I think it's cheaper in Hawaii ？.

Recently, there were some questions and answers about charter schools, and I would like to know if anyone knows anything about University Lab and what kind of features it has.
As with the advice given in the other topic, it is best to actually visit the school and gather information, but I was wondering if I could find out what it is like beforehand. I am interested in this school, although I only know that it is popular and that the number of applicants is small to begin with.
Thank you very much.

I asked Sook Hi's Alteration to lengthen a t-shirt and they processed it with a lock sewing machine + straight stitches, which made the fabric unwearable because it would not stretch. It is a cropped tight t-shirt. If anyone knows a store that can do such an alteration, please let me know. Even if it is not a store but a private person. Thank you in advance.

Charter Schools in Hawaii

Problem / Need advice

I learned that public schools in Hawaii have large differences in academic achievement and environment depending on the area, and many people choose to go private.
I wish I could send my own children to a private school, but the tuition barrier is still too high and I have given up.　
I am thinking of trying a charter school, although the chances of getting in are low.
Each school has its own characteristics and is very appealing, but I was wondering if anyone who is currently attending a charter school could share their thoughts on how it is really going. Thank you in advance.

My child attends Waialae Charter Elementary School, so I can explain the special features in detail.

① There are no so-called textbooks, and learning is mainly done using printouts and ipads.
➁All classes other than core subjects are taught by a full-time teacher who goes to each classroom. Hawaiiana, Music, Art, Aina, STEAM,
③ There is no so-called gifted and talented program to attract children who can study well. I have the impression that many children are enrolled in the GE program. There are a few students from the Mainland. The overwhelming majority of middle students are from Kaimuki Middle School. The charter middle in Nuuanu is also popular. Of course, there are children who go on to private schools.
④ After-school program （ W ＋ ） is staffed by a full-time, school-appointed staff member who can keep children until 5:30. ＄ 170/month. Sibling discount. Often available when school is not in session （ for an additional fee ）, and there is also a program that provides childcare for about 4 weeks during the 2-month summer vacation. This is great for co-workers as there are many options to keep them at school.
⑤ Compared to other public elementary schools, the new school year starts about 5 days earlier, but the winter break is 3 weeks longer.
⑥ Depending on the homeroom teacher, many classes have only reading homework, making it easier to learn.
⑦ Drop-off and pick-up by car is possible, rarely very congested.
⑧ Experienced staff who connect parents with the school for various questions are available in a timely manner.

I get the impression that the school emphasizes concepts, approaches, and collaboration among students rather than memorization and repetitive drills.
Perhaps because the emphasis is on students with various characteristics learning from each other's strengths, there is a tendency not to evaluate children solely on the basis of whether they can or cannot study, and as a parent who has received a traditional education, you may be concerned because there are few tests or homework assignments However, our students seem to be enjoying school in a relaxed and enjoyable manner.
Perhaps because many parents are eager to educate their children, some parents who feel that their children are lacking in studies send them to Kumon or provide them with private tutors.

Parent-led activities are also very active, and opportunities abound for parents who want to get involved in school events.

It is a good idea to go to the school's information sessions to get a feel for the atmosphere. When I attended one, I was impressed by the principal who said, "Wai'alae is a public school like a private school. In the end, I decided that I liked the atmosphere of the school and I was sure that my child would be happy to attend. My kids have thanked me （ lol ）.
