I would like to ask those who applied for a re-entry permit to stay in Japan:

While staying in Japan, did you update your resident registration? ？
If you didn’t update it, you’ll be uninsured for health insurance ？

If you update your resident registration, I’m worried that when I return to the U.S., my years of residence there will reset to zero, which might affect matters like inheritance.
On the other hand, if I don’t update my residence registration, I won’t be able to enroll in Japan’s National Health Insurance, and the prospect of being uninsured worries me as well

I plan to continue living in the U.S. for the most part, but if I have to stay in Japan for an extended period to care for my parents, I’d like to hear from those who have applied for a Re-entry Permit and lived in Japan—I’d appreciate your experiences and opinions.

A company run by a dictatorial CEO where employees in their 30s and 40s make up a small percentage of the workforce—the reason being there are no mid-level managers 🟰—is highly likely to be an exploitative workplace.

When you apply for a job, I think you should state your desired hourly wage.

Once, when I was assigned to a tour desk, I stated my desired hourly wage, and they agreed to it. Since the hourly wage at the time was $ 15, I asked for more than that.

In that case, my request was granted.

If they refuse to negotiate your hourly wage and simply offer the minimum wage, I think that’s a exploitative company.

If anyone has had a similar experience with Global Entry and TSA, please let me know.
This was my first time using Global Entry to return to Japan. While I was able to use Global Entry without any issues when returning to the U.S., I was unable to use TSA PreCheck.
When I checked at the JAL counter, I was told that the issue might be because the name registered with Global Entry didn’t exactly match the name on my passport.
When I applied for Global Entry, I couldn’t apply using my Japanese passport name, so I applied using the name I’m registered under in the U.S. As a result, although the name differs from the one on my passport, I entered my Japanese name in the “Other names （ Other names ）” field, and my application was approved based on that information.
If anyone has had a similar experience or knows how to handle this situation, I would really appreciate your advice.

I think I’m in the same situation. Just the other day, when I went to Japan, my flight ticket was under my passport name, but my Global Entry information didn’t match because I changed my last name after getting married, so I couldn’t use TSA. However, I’ve been able to use TSA when traveling to remote islands.
When I returned to Hawaii this time, I asked a Global Entry representative which name was on file for me, and it turns out it was the one on my passport, not the one in the Global Entry system. I still don’t quite understand how the system works.

Hello.

This is a bit of a strange question, but … .

I’m a foreigner, and I lived in Japan for about six years.
When I lived in Uguisudani, I used to go to a curry restaurant near my house all the time, and I absolutely loved that huge naan.

I live in Los Angeles now, but even though I’ve tried various Indian restaurants here, for some reason the naan is completely different from what I used to eat in Japan.

You know, the naan that’s as big as a bicycle saddle, fluffy, slightly sweet, and served with butter chicken （ lol ） .

I’m starting to wonder, “Is the Indian-Nepalese cuisine in Japan actually unique to Japan? ？” … .

If anyone knows of any Indian ・ or Nepalese curry restaurants in the Los Angeles area that are similar to the ones in Tokyo, please let me know ！

Aroma Indian Kitchen
It was a buffet-style restaurant that was both affordable and delicious. The naan wasn't as big as the kind you get at Saddle, but it wasn't any different from the naan I used to eat in Japan.

I’m looking for a different junior car seat for my 4-year-old. （ Since my child weighs 16 kg, I’m looking for one that comes with a seat belt ）. Do you know of any stores in the Torrance area where I can buy one for under $80? ？ I think the lowest price on Amazon is $79.

Thank you in advance.

Both WALMART ・ and Target had it for $80 in their physical stores.

Since the same item is $65 on WALMART's website, I'll look into why that is.

It would be faster to ask Discovery Bay directly.

On rare occasions, it may be closed for maintenance.

I’d recommend the sauna at Sky Ala Moana instead.

When it gets hot, the thermometer sometimes reads 140, but since that’s in Fahrenheit, I don’t think it’s as hot as it is in Japan.
Also, it occasionally breaks down.

Whenever I try to check my email, a screen pops up asking me to enter my IMAP account password, and even when I enter the new password I just changed, it seems to be incorrect and I can't access my account. Just to be sure, I tried entering the old password, but that didn't work either. Could you please let me know if there's a solution or a company that handles this kind of issue? ？

I can log in through the Yahoo website and check my email there, but it doesn't seem to sync with the Mail app on my iPhone ？—the one that comes pre-installed on the iPhone. I'm thinking ？ that there might be some restrictions because I live overseas.
I’m busy today, so I’m thinking of stopping by the Apple Store tomorrow, but since it’s a Japanese Yahoo Mail account, I’m worried they might not be able to resolve the issue.

So that’s the situation, then.

It seems that Yahoo Mail does indeed have restrictions on access from overseas enabled by default.
https://whatsnewmail.yahoo.co.jp/yahoo/20250805a.html

Disabling the access restrictions for overseas users might make it possible.

I hope it works out.

As Ko-ji-san mentioned, I tried disabling access from overseas yesterday, but it didn't work.
Today, I received helpful advice at the Apple Store, and we tried all sorts of solutions, but we couldn’t resolve the issue. For now, they set up a bookmark for Yahoo! Japan Mail, and I’ve been opening it from there. Although I’ve saved my password and other information on my smartphone, I have to go through text verification every time I open it, which is a hassle.
The Apple representative told me to try opening it again from the iPhone Mail app after a while—they said there’s a chance it might start working for some reason, but they couldn’t say for sure. They mentioned that this kind of thing happens from time to time.
I imagine there are many people living overseas who use the Yahoo! Japan Mail service—has anyone else been affected by this?

I’m embarrassed to say I fell for what seemed to be a Zelle wire transfer scam and was defrauded out of $420.
I reported it to my bank right away and opened a new account.
In cases like this, should I report it to the police as well? ？
Or would that just be a waste of time? ？

Thank you so much for your kind words.
At a time when everyone seems like a scammer, I really appreciate it.

To #4
Thank you for your valuable advice.
Thinking that might be the case, I did a search and found a website called the Internet Crime Complaint Center, run by the FBI, so I’ll file a report there.

I think it's a good idea to go to the local police station in the city where the incident occurred.
Why not file a report with both? If it gets forwarded to the FBI, that's fine too.

I’ve been bored lately, so I’ve been answering calls from strangers on my cell phone, but there are so many scams.

Someone claiming to be from Citi Bank asked if I had authorized some suspicious account activity. I checked my credit card statement on my computer and saw nothing unusual, so I hung up.

I received a call from US Bank $ asking if I’d bought a firearm for 9,000, and I told them to “go to hell.” When I looked up the phone number, it was listed as US Bank, but it was also listed as a number used by scammers. There was even a fake US Bank website linked to this scam number.

I also got a call from Bank of America about suspicious activity, but I happened to have my son take the call, and he yelled, “What do you want? Get to the point—what do you want?”

Here’s a follow-up.
Immediately after realizing I’d been scammed, I called CITIBANK to explain the situation, and the $420 that had been fraudulently taken via Zelle was placed under dispute.
After that, I opened a new account, and since my new ATM/debit card arrived today, I activated it right away. When I checked my account activity online, I saw that the $420 had been refunded. ！ I was a little moved. I’m really impressed by CITIBANK’s prompt response.
To everyone who offered advice and encouragement, thank you so much.

＞ I’ve been bored lately, so I’ve been answering calls from strangers on my cell phone, but there are so many scams.

If a call comes from a number I don’t recognize, I “absolutely” never answer it.

Friends I already know ・ acquaintances, or financial institutions ・ or business contacts—are already saved in my phone. When they call, their specific names appear on the screen, so if a call comes in without that name displayed, I absolutely never press the answer button.

If the display shows only a phone number, I completely ignore it and leave it alone until the ring stops.

Since scammers make calls automatically using computers, it seems that if there’s no answer after a few attempts, the system automatically deletes the number.
