Hello.
I am a 20-something female who is planning to go to Los Angeles for two weeks alone to see the sights and dance. Hollywood.
I can barely speak English, but is it dangerous to take buses and trains alone ?
Also, I am thinking of taking an Uber back to my lodgings at night after dancing, is Uber safe?
I would appreciate it if you could tell me what to watch out for.

The cheapest way to use a driver without using Uber is to
let a few people get in the car and go around and drop them off
the cabbie can save on expenses too.

I'm glad to hear that, but I think Haneda is a good place to fly. ?
The Singapore Airlines flight I took was via Narita and was overcrowded,
there were no empty seats on the way there and back.
About 85% of the passengers were foreigners, 10 / because the ban on accepting foreigners had just been lifted. The round trip cost was $ 1040
Normally the airline is expensive, but this time I was able to fly cheaply.
But the seats were hard and the food was not good like American airlines, I will pass next time. I will never forget the Daifuku for dessert.
But it's expensive, so I can't fly them very often.
Double Kim Man, how much was the ticket price ??

Gonko's off-topic,

I see, the flight from Narita was close to full.

Then, did the departure airport and its departure time make such an extreme difference?


So far I had bought from the airline's own website about a month before, but this time it was very close and I could not buy from the airline's website, so I bought from an agent. Round trip $ I think it was about 1,600.


> Is Haneda departure a hole in the road ?

I don't know if it is a hole or not, but when I arrived at Narita by LAX - NRT during the pre-pandemic inbound boom year, I stood in line for 3 hours at immigration for US citizens. I stood in line for 3 hours at the immigration checkpoint. At my age, it was hell to stand in line for hours on top of being extremely tired from not being able to sleep well on the plane. So this time I decided to fly - HND. The flight arrived around 5:00 a.m., but the hotel where I was staying that day had a coin locker at the front desk, so I could leave my luggage there and go anywhere I wanted during the rest of the day. \If you are tired and sleepy, you can order a cup of coffee at the coffee shop and relax.

I used to fly Korean Air when they had LAX - NRT, and the fares were cheap. I don't remember if the food was good, but the in-flight service and mood was second only to Japanese Airlines.

About two weeks ago I was riding my scooter and stopped because there was a car that wanted to get out of a parking lot. After stopping for about 5 seconds, I thought I could go and started to go forward. At the same time, a car stepped on the gas pedal and I was hit and sent flying into the roadway. I was not seriously injured, just a nail was peeled off and I got whiplash. I have already hired a lawyer and the case is in progress, but I don't know the rate of compensation and I only talked to one lawyer, so I can only trust that lawyer. Should I ask various lawyers about the rate of compensation? Or should I just follow the lawyer's advice?

There's no compensation, though
whiplash is covered by insurance for a certain period of time
well, from their point of view, they could say that the scooter hit them
and they could argue that they were going too fast for the scooter to stop well, at best, it's 8-2.

In the case of a car accident, the lawyer will be paid 1/3 of the amount recovered if the other party is found to be at fault on a contingency fee.

The remaining 1/3 goes to medical expenses, and 1/3 goes to the topknot owner. If no more than 1/3 goes to medical expenses, there could be a case where the difference goes to the toppayer.

About two weeks ago I was riding my scooter and was hit by a jeep ( car ) coming out of a parking lot.
I stopped because I knew jeep wanted to get out of the parking lot. After stopping for about five seconds, I thought, oh, jeep can see me, so I started moving again. Then the car started moving at the same time and before I knew it I was being jumped and thrown onto the driveway.
My nails were peeled and I was only whipped, but no serious injuries. I hired a lawyer, but I only consulted with one lawyer, so I don't know what the fee is. I would appreciate it if you could tell me if you have had a similar experience or know more about it.

Nice to meet you
Lately, every morning, there are several small, light yellow⁈like ants, about 1-1.5mm in size, walking on the walls and floors of my kitchen and living room

I live on the 33rd floor of a condo.
I have put 3 Terro and today is the 3rd day and I still get them in the morning.
I try to squash them, but when I see 10-20 of them walking around, they are atrocious. There are no lines.
I took a photo and enlarged it and found that the head is blackish brown and the body is light yellow
I think it is an Awatekonuka ant.

I would like to get your advice on how to get rid of them and what might be the cause ! Please help me.

They get into food or fall into pots and pans while cooking, which is a problem.
If you don't find the nests and get rid of them, there will be any number of them.
The only way is to ask a contractor.

You should move out if you can.

I'm glad to hear that you are making supportive comments like that, when many people go out of their way to post critical comments just because they can't see your face. I'm not a strong-willed person, but I am used to sending out messages to an unspecified number of people, and I know that a certain number of people will harass me with snide comments and shit-lips, and I know that premise, which is why I can state my opinion without hesitation. It certainly takes a lot of energy to get divorced. I will not lose, I will fight and do my best to make sure my children grow up healthy under these circumstances. Thank you !

I have a question regarding the Japanese immigration office.
My husband is a foreign national and we are going to Japan together. Is it possible for me, a Japanese citizen, to stand in line with him in the foreigner-only lane? One reason is that I will have to wait for him if I leave early, and the other reason is that this is the first time for me to purchase a JR Pass, and I need to get a stamp or sticker for a short stay at the port of entry. I don't know how to get it in the Japanese-only lane.
Can someone please tell me how to get it in the Japanese-only lane?

When I returned to Japan in September, I presented my green card. But the Midori-no-madoguchi agent went to the back with my passport, so I am not sure if he checked my return stamp at that time.

Since I am going to Japan to use it myself,
can't I just look it up on the internet
and be satisfied with it, rather than leaving it to others to ask about rail passes, etc. on their own?

If a travel agency sells rail passes, you can ask them for more information.

If you are a foreigner, you can enter and leave Japan,
even if you have a Green Card, your passport is in Japan, so you can leave and return.

I temporarily returned to Japan in October with a rail pass exchange ticket, but I had no idea about the stamp.
At Haneda station, there was a part where people were divided into those who needed a stamp and those who did not, but I went through the one who did not and exchanged it for a rail pass at Shinagawa station two days later without any problem.
It may be that the check for the stamp was accidentally left out, but why don't you check with the traveler or JR?
By the way, ( it was empty at that time ) in early October, so it wouldn't have made much difference in time if you got in line to get stamps.

Once you arrive in Japan and get off the plane, you will be fine in Japanese. If your husband can't speak Japanese, you just need an interpreter and you'll be fine.

If you are worrying about this kind of thing, you will just think you can't do anything yourself.

https://japanrailpass.net/about_jrp.html

Things are a little different in Corona, so ask at a travel agency that handles rail passes.

I'm glad I'm an American because this is such a hassle.

I entered Japan on October 16. I have not been vaccinated. It is a US passport.
I showed my insurance card at Palos Verdes Medical Group in Palos Verdes and it was free.
There are a lot of Japanese people there, so when I saw the government form, they said, "Travel to Japan, OK!

I downloaded the government form from the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare website, printed it out and brought it with me. That's all.
https://www.mhlw.go.jp/content/000799426.pdf

Procedure
Drop the PDF from the MHLW page and print it out.
Make an appointment for the test on the PVMG web.

Bring your insurance card, ID, and government form on the day of the appointment.
The location is 550 Deep Valley Dr #319, Rolling Hills Estates, CA 90274
Parking at the mall, 4th floor ( Outdoor parking on the roof ) White tent.

There you will take out the ID government form, fill out the checklist, and have a brief Q&A session with the doctor remotely to do a nasal exam.
You will remain in the car. Brief question. I'm in good health ? I'm vaccinated ?.

test results are in 2-3 hours. Not many PCR tests are done anymore and it was empty, so it didn't take 2 hours.
I'm going to leave for now. I can test in the morning and pick up in the afternoon.

I get a call for pickup and go to the rooftop parking on the 4th floor again.
There you will have easy access to the PVMG office. It is just on the same floor.
You will need to wear a mask to enter the office.
Pick up a piece of paper with the doctor's signed test results and a rubber stamped government form.
Naturally, you don't have to pay because you have an insurance card, it's free.
Then register those two cards in My SOS and you will be blue and ready to go.
It might be a little useful to do Visit Japan as well.

At LAX, show the My SOS screen and the form and they will let you on the plane.
It is natural to wear a mask. The young American who was told to wear a mask got cranky and didn't wear one the whole time.
I wear a mask the whole time I am on the plane. On a different note, ANA had an entertainment set list that was not interesting at all.

When you arrive at Narita, you can connect to the airport Wi-Fi ( The staff will even connect you quickly ) Things pass smoothly when you present your My SOS blue screen.
At immigration, there is no one at the Japanese passport gate anymore. Only the foreigner gate had about 50 people.
Seems like more than half of the whole group was connecting to Southeast Asia.
Passing through immigration was about 2-30 minutes, and customs was over 2-3 minutes after presenting Visit Japann because there was no line.
Both immigration and customs in Japan are friendly and courteous.
But when I left the gate, there was no TV Tokyo crew there.

The travel agency's website says it costs several hundred dollars for inspection, but if you can move around by yourself and have an insurance card, how about this way?

In Japan, everyone wears masks even outdoors. My friend says to be careful, because if you don't wear a mask, you will be treated as a stranger.
He said that even when eating a meal, you must not take off your mask until just before you put the food in your mouth, and then you must put it back on and munch it down.
He told me to think of it as a game. I don't know if this is true or not since I am new to Japan.
At least I often see people drinking through a straw with a mask on, or pumping the sanitizer repeatedly when entering a store.

Japan is a very considerate country. Everyone is polite. Even if you are driving alone or outdoors and there is no one nearby, people wear masks to prevent infection. I even feel nostalgia for the things that the U.S. did right after the pandemic and are still done in Japan. I will try not to be a stranger.

very clear procedure.
Do Americans have MySOS ?

I am relieved to hear that there is no congestion.

Excuse me for the sidebar.
I was able to get a free exam at Palos Verdes Medical Group this past July with my Kaiser insurance.
My friend was also able to get a free exam with Kaiser's insurance, so I don't think any insurance company will have a problem.
As Mike's Mike wrote, I received the results about 2 hours after the test. Many of my Japanese friends around me also use this service.

I had a friend visiting from Japan last week, but he had been vaccinated 3 times and returned home without PCR test.
He said that the entry and exit at Narita was very smooth.
Both Americans and Japanese are required to register for My SOS when entering Japan.
If you have not registered, you will be asked to register at the airport when you enter Japan.
It takes about 15 minutes to register, so it is recommended to complete it before leaving the US.

I hope this was helpful.
