Nice to meet you.

I recently moved to Orange from Japan.

I enjoyed walking in Japan, so I was wondering if you could recommend any trails, hiking trails, or areas in the Orange County area where I can go for a short walk (about an hour ）) on the weekend. I don't walk in the parks in my neighborhood. I've been walking around the neighborhood parks, but I'm getting a little
bored with the same places.

Please let me know.

I often get itchy feet before bed.
I can't sleep because I can't keep my feet still.

If anyone else has the same problem, please let me know the solution.

Bank account registered with treasurydirect

Problem / Need advice

I am a former Union Bank user.
I had an account at treasurydirect.gov and had Union Bank registered, but now that US Bank has absorbed it, my bank number and account number have changed and I need to change them.
treasurydirect's system is cumbersome and I have to go all the way to the bank to change my bank account, have a document stamped like a notary seal and mail it in.
The first US bank branch I went to refused to do the paperwork, another branch rejected it on treasurydirect's side because it was stamped with something like a regular rubber stamp at first, and on the third try, even though I had it properly notarized and mailed, treasurydirect The reason was that the bank could not confirm it. The reason was that they could not verify the bank.
It said to check if the bank number or account number is wrong or if the bank supports ACH, but I have checked the routing number and account number many times and they are correct, and I honestly don't think UA bank does not support ACH, and I am at a loss.
Can anyone who is familiar with financial matters please advise me ？.

Maybe because it was a different branch ？ because you went to a different branch and got a stamp ？ I don't know.

If the US Bank branch refused to fill out the paperwork, you could try the US Bank in
Little Tokyo, Gardena （ west 158th street&western Ave)
There are still people working here from Union Bank who can help you. There are still people working there from Union Bank, so you can consult with them.
If the paperwork was done without any problems,
try to get it certified by notary pabulic and send it to them.

Sorry, I'm not very familiar with this story, so it's hard to understand. I was originally a Union Bank user, so the original branch was closed in the first place and doesn't exist now.
It says on the treasurydirect document that notarization in Notary is not good enough.

The paperwork itself should have been correct on the third try, but I think they probably tried to authenticate from treasurydirect to US Bank using ACH, but couldn't do it. However, I am at a loss when I am told that the account number and routing number are correct, but then it cannot be authenticated. I'm really embarrassed by the tremendous inconvenience caused by the merger without my permission.

Service industry. I feel that the number of customers has suddenly stopped since mid-August. My partner's workplace is the same.
We are trying to curb unnecessary expenses due to rising prices, but
if our income is also decreasing, we are going to have to dip into our savings.

How about you ？
What will happen to the world?
I am not worried.

We recommend that "Gase Taro" be renamed "Ichamon Taro".

＞ Stocks and ETFs held have on average more than quadrupled over the past three years.

Well, however, it is certainly a bit hard to believe that ETFs have quadrupled in 3 years, let alone stocks.

I think "Gase Taro" should change his name to "Ichimon Taro" ？

But, well, ETFs quadrupling in 3 years is certainly a cocoon.

Living Environment in Irvine

Hello, I have been an expatriate since June and arrived in our area before my family.
I am thinking about living in Irvine, but I wanted to start a topic to let you know where I should live.

We have two children, ages 4 and 2.
My wife is not good at English and would like to join a Japanese community if possible.
We have not decided on a kindergarten yet.


We have heard that West Park and Woodbridge are usually good places to live, and we were going to look in those areas, but there are not many apartments （ and even if there are, they are over our budget ）. So the following areas came up.

Northwood
Cypress Village
Oak Creek
Great Park

I have a boss who told me that the area above Route 5 has few expats and many Chinese people. I have heard that the area above Route 5 has fewer expatriates and more Chinese people.
I am hoping to live in an area with a certain amount of expatriates, but I wonder what the actual situation is like ？

I would like to hear various opinions from people who live in each area or are familiar with the area.
Thank you very much.

You should contact RAFU SHIMPO, I have been there since 1964.
These were the days when Eikiku and Billiards were in the basement. There was also Tokyo Kaikan above the grocery store.
Maybe everyone has moved on to other places by now.

Do you know of any stores in Los Angeles or Orange County that have Japanese manga ？
I've seen some Japanese restaurants that have a little bit of manga, but
I would be happy if it was as good as a manga cafe.
I want to read Japanese manga in Japanese. Especially Kaguya-sama.

It is a site like RecoChoku in Japan.
Except for AppleItunes, it is better. （ I have a large gift card balance and it is automatically paid from the balance ）
What else can I use to make a transaction of around $1.00 by credit card charge?
My purpose is to pay only to make a transaction to my credit card.
Thank you very much.
