Wouldn't it be expensive to call on 011.81 ？ I don't want to add a plan for just one call, and it's rare to call a landline nowadays, so not many people have a contract. I'd like to know too.

Calling from the U.S. to Japan
SIM card with international calling plan American carriers （ e.g. ： T-Mobile, AT&T ） may offer plans that include international calling to Japan. Please check with your cellular company.

VoIP apps Skype, Google Voice, and LINE call features allow you to call Japanese mobiles and landlines at very low cost if you have a Wi-Fi connection.

Prepaid International Phone Cards Buying a card with low calling rates is another option. However, as you mentioned in the past, please note that the balance may expire or expire while not in use.

How to receive calls from elementary schools
If you set up an online number such as Google Voice, you can receive calls in the U.S. similar to Japanese numbers. However, you need to make sure that the elementary school has no problem with you calling the international number.

You can also register a family member or friend as a substitute contact and have them contact you if necessary.

Thank you very much for your kind detail, Hirorin.

As for #7, are you saying that you can also call a landline from LINE ？ I've never done anything other than call your friend on VOICE, but if you're calling a landline, then you can call someone who is not your friend ？ if so. I'd appreciate it.

I paid $ 5 for an app called Viber, but I couldn't figure out how to call it in either Japanese or English, so ＄ 5 left. No matter how many times I try ＆ it doesn't work and the money doesn't decrease, so I've left it alone.

I actually bought an eSIM for #8 last year, but my iPhone won't Unlock and I haven't used it. This year I am planning to get a new phone before I go back home, so if I have last year's eSIM, it means I can get a cell phone. ？ The eSIM is still usable without even activating it.

#9 I can't tell the school or store to call me internationally, so I guess eSIM is the best. ？

I'm not good at this kind of work and searching, so there are many times when I end up buying something but not using it. I am not good at this kind of work and search, but I can't use it even though I bought it.

It was decades ago when we were Topi's age.

We were lucky enough to have good pocketbooks then and bought a house. Many of our neighbors had children in the lower grades of elementary school, and many of them went to the same elementary school, so we, as newcomers, were able to get to know our neighbors easily through our children.

Other parents also felt safe because their children were playing in their neighbors' yards and on nearby streets.

Sorry, for all the useless talk. I still live in a quiet residential neighborhood off a busy main street with heavy car traffic, and I'm sure there is one in several homes with elementary school children, but I don't see kids playing outside in the street. Have times changed a lot, or are the kids also playing on the internet inside the house?

Yes, if your children can play online, let them play with their friends from the same school through the Internet. You will have to monitor the content from time to time, though. In addition, you could let them go to the friend's house or ask them to come over.

As I write this, I realize that times have changed dramatically. My granddaughter is now going to UC San Bernardino, which is over 2 hours away by car or train; UCLA was too difficult and Community College, which is in a walkable city, was too low.

Nice to meet you ^^
I know it's hard to know how to spend every school vacation.
We also have a 1st grader, and like the Lord, my husband is working so it's just the two of us. I've already decided that I'm not going to spend time with my child and I'm just going to be lazy everyday lol My child is usually busy with school, so I thought it would be nice to have a change of pace once in a while.
We often watch movies together or draw pictures. After that, we have picnics at the park, hang out at the mall, etc.
Lately she seems to be interested in baking sweets, so I'm thinking of making a cake or something for this spring vacation.
Wishing you a happy spring vacation ♪!

♪ Making cakes is nice ！ It is good to do something that we usually want to do but haven't been able to do yet, rather than saying we have to go outside ！

I always thought I had to take them somewhere, but it is true that there are things we can do together at home. ！ I would like to try making a cake with them because they have been wanting to make a cake too.

As for picnics, I forgot that we used to make lunch boxes and eat them in the back yard when we had the Corona Disaster, which was a picnic of sorts. It was nice to be able to enjoy a different day in a nearby park and do something we don't always do like that ！ Thank you 😊.

I use two cell phones.

One is a company called Airtalk. This is a government sponsored program that offers ＄ 9 ． 95Plan per month for free

The second is US Mobile. I signed up for this as a
relay plan since my Airtalk phone took a while to activate. I was going to cancel
after the 30 days free plan when I signed up for the first time, but in the end I decided it was better to have two phones, so I signed up for US Mobile's cheapest plan of ＄ 10 per month and

Every summer when I go back to my hometown in Japan for an extended period of time, I have trouble with phone calls within Japan. This time, my child was at school, so I had a lot of trouble getting a call from the school. I gave him my parents' phone number, but I can't answer the phone if I'm out of town. How are you guys doing ？

I took my pocket Wi-Fi with me, but it's too inconvenient because I can't contact anyone except on line. I couldn't even call the store and was in a state of 모듈을 고팀(I don't even know if there's a way to do that)urashima-taro.

While transferring money through a bank is generally a safe and reliable way to send money, there are a few points to keep in mind.

Remittance fees: It is important to check the fees in advance, as different banks have different fees.

Transfer time: Depending on the bank you are transferring to and the time of day, it may take several days.

Payee information: exact bank name, account number, SWIFT code, etc. is required.

Tax Reporting: Tax reporting may be required for remittances over $250,000.

It is best to contact your bank directly for specific bank names and detailed procedures. If there is anything else you would like to know, please feel free to let us know.

$ If you're going to send 250,000 in dollars, you should definitely send it when the yen is cheap. Today $ is a good day to send money because 1=158 yen. Japanese banks charge about 3 yen as a commission. All banks charge roughly the same fee. The remittance fee is not much. Japanese banks usually call the receiver if the amount is over 10 million yen, and if the receiver does not answer the phone, they will not receive the money even if the money is transferred. Since the money is received on the day the receiver answers the phone, the amount in yen is transferred after approximately 3 yen is deducted from the exchange rate on that day.

I used to live in Chicago. It's a nice place, but cold. LOL
It depends on what part of Irvine you want to live in, how many bedrooms you need, and if you can drive … but the climate is pleasant and comfortable year round. There is a lot of entertainment, the beach is only 15 minutes away by car, and you can even go skiing in the snowy mountains if you drive 2 hours.

With houses, you have to do the renovations and maintenance on your own, which is inconvenient. With apartments and condominiums, it's easier because they take care of the maintenance. If you have young children, I recommend a place with a park.

I think it is by far the easiest place to raise children.

That is a truly unfortunate event. Fireworks accidents can be very dangerous, especially if you light them yourself. It can certainly be frustrating that young people don't learn, but education and awareness efforts are important.

Regarding the use of taxpayer money for medical care and disability certification, we need a system where society as a whole supports each other. It would also be nice to see more education and regulation to prevent accidents and injuries.

Thank you all for your answers. The tip is of course split with the kitchen staff at the time. It is not the sole responsibility of the server.
However, since only servers rotate between lunch and dinner shifts, the kitchen staff is not affected. I am a little uncomfortable with the service I give being passed on to other servers as I believe the service I give is included in the customer's tip, but I will try to come to terms with it somewhere.
