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.

Tobi Lord.

I searched for "cross in la jolla" and found it.　I thought it was a statue of Christ and searched only for "Christ stature in la jolla", which was a mistake.　It is a crucifix, isn't it?　I was mistaken.　I had read an article about it in Lighthouse before and had a vague recollection of it.　I had always wanted to go there because it is free and has a great view of the ocean.　Now I can finally go.　　Thank you very much, everyone.

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 ？.

No, it seems treasurydirect is doing something on its own.
I just got an email telling me that my account could not be verified, and to check my bank number, account number and whether it is compatible with ACH.
I just went to CITIBANK to give up and open an account at another bank and register there, but they told me that they cannot stamp （ the medallion stamp ） which is like a notary stamp until more than 6 months after the account has been opened, so I'm in an all-or-nothing situation. I'm at a loss. I'm thinking of going to all the banks in my neighborhood ・ ・ ・.

No really anymore, how I wish I had an office somewhere where I could complain directly ・ ・ ・ .
Online, if I try to delete a US Bank account that is HOLD and delete it once and start over, I get a warning that I can't delete it because it's HOLD.
Phone calls are not working.
When I send an email from the website, I get an auto-reply saying that they do not answer email questions. （ Then what's the submit form for ？ ！ ）
TreasuryDirect's system, how shitty is that?
But somehow I have a feeling that the interest from TreasuryDirect will be sent to US Bank with the Union Bank account number, since they said I can use the checks from my Union Bank days until they run out, so I'll just wait and see. There is nothing else I can do ・ ・ ・.

Even though he is a co-worker, he is much older than me and I was not interested in 401K yet, so I only put in the minimum percentage that would increase the match up from the company, but I took his advice and increased it.

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.

Hi, I live in West Park, Irvine.
I am a long time US resident and not an expat, but I am a mom with an elementary school aged child. There are many Japanese expatriates and other Japanese people in West Park. I have lived in the US for a long time and am not an expatriate, but I know many Japanese expatriates and other Japanese people who live in Westpark. If your wife can drive a car right away, I don't think you have to worry. The West Park area is very livable and beautiful with many parks, and is close to Costco, Whole Foods, Sprouts, Korean supermarkets, Target, etc. It is very comfortable for housewives. Many people live a normal life even if they don't speak English. Our family also rents a condo. The West Park area is very popular and townhouses, condos and apartments are going up $200-$400 a month a year. Even if you try to buy a house, there are very few properties available and the price is usually $ $1,500,000 for a normal 4 room house.
Prices have gone up so much that it is hard to keep up. Prices have gone up so much that they can't keep up with it. There are people living in the Irvine Spectrum, but if you want to raise your children in a park, I wouldn't recommend the Spectrum.
In the Great Park area, new houses are being built all the time and there are many new families. But of course renting a house or condo is also expensive because they are new. It is the same in all areas, but I have known several people who had to move out of their apartments when their children were young because of complaints of noise from the people below them. I know that you are going through a lot of hardship since your wife and children are coming to the U.S., but at first it will be like you are on vacation and it will be fun, but when you live in the U.S., there are many things that will be different from Japan and you may get homesick, but please do your best.

Dear Latte

Thank you for your comments and useful information.
（ I am very sorry for the delay in replying ）
In the end, we looked at a lot of places and finally decided on the Great Park area. West Park never came up with any properties in the first place. I also liked Cypress Village and Oak Creek, but they already had several applications, and as a foreigner with no FICO, there was no way I could win. In the end it took over 3 months and a lot of hard work, but we found a good owner, the place of residence was confirmed, and my wife arrived in our area recently.
We still have a lot of work to do in the future, such as finding a license for my wife, finding a community for our children, finding a kindergarten, etc. We are floundering to start up our lives, but as Latte said, we will be homesick when we get settled. Thank you for sharing the information, including your support.

P.S. I'm not sure if you can get it through the official U.S. government website.
Come to think of it, I think it's $ 21 if you go through the official US government website. 8690 yen is also a vendor fee somewhere ？
Well, if you've already paid and got it successfully, just be careful next time.
The following is from the U.S. Embassy website.
All Visa Waiver Programs （ VWP ） Travelers must pay a $21 application fee when applying for ESTA. The fee can be paid by credit card through the ESTA application website.

Normally, they do not close your account out of the blue due to their business practices.

Since they are also a commercial company, they have a means of saying, "In this case, here is what you should do" and they will probably send a "warning" to your registered E-Mail

address, etc.

You should act according to that warning.

The credit card you are registered with is invalid when you use it. In
Register a new card.
