I am happy to hear from my friends that they missed me every time I go back to Japan or that we should meet up when I have time, but I am tired of taking care of myself and making time every time, so I made the SNS itself like a diary completely for myself. I even changed my name. It's so much easier.

It certainly takes a lot of work with a large number of Forms. I assume that if you have more sources of income than annual income, the fee goes up.

For example, if you only have a W-2, it is simple, but if you have a 1099 for Self-employed, etc., it becomes complicated at once.

Thank you Tax Return.

I was not convinced because of the number of forms, but my mother-in-law had more forms $ 40 and I had $ 120. I had 4 and my mother-in-law had about 8.

When I gave it to her this year, I was going to do it with TurboTax, but the person in charge was someone else and it was ＄ 80. I wonder what it is.

I think it would be better to do it with TurboTax.

I feel a sense of tininess in President Trump's tariff measures this time around.
The countries of the Pacific Rim formed the TPP to create a free trade zone.
Simply put, the TPP is about the free exchange of goods, services, and people without tariffs.
The United States was initially a member, but left during the first term of the Trump administration, when the pact was still under negotiation. The agreement was subsequently issued and the UK joined, bringing the total to 12 countries.
Vietnam, which this time imposed tariffs as high as 46%, was also included.

Trump himself has said that he imposed the tariffs because it was unfair that U.S. exports were subject to tariffs while withdrawing from this free trade zone agreement.
But if they had stayed in the TPP, tariffs on many US exports would have been much lower.
This benefits both exporters and importers, whereas reciprocal tariffs are bad for both.

I have supported what Trump has done, but I cannot support these tariff measures.

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 😊.

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.
