I heard that my brother and his wife paid 8 ， 690 yen and his wife paid 24,532 yen, why are they paying different amounts? ？ If you know anything about this, please let me know ？.

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.
Note ： Beware of counterfeit websites where third parties request unauthorized information or application fees. These businesses and websites are in no way affiliated with the U.S. government.

Not to answer your question, but my parents are coming to the U.S. soon and ESTA is something that all people coming from Japan （ tourism ） must apply for ？ or is there something else I should know about?

It is a site like RecoChoku in Japan.

What else can I use to make a transaction of around $1.00 by credit card charge?

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.

Hello, I live in Irvine and would like to have my child's first meal at a Japanese restaurant.
I live in Irvine and would like to have a weaning ceremony for my child.

I am thinking of either of the above.

If you have any recommendations for Japanese restaurants or Japanese supermarkets in the Irvine or Los Angeles area where
you have held your first wedding ceremony or
actually purchased your snapper, please let us know ？

Thank you. <1464> Thank you very much.

As a Showa-era person like myself, the first meal is cooked at home and served in lacquer ware for the first meal （ and the child in a formal kimono is made to imitate eating ）, but this custom may have changed. It is a family ritual for children, so I don't think it is the purpose of going to a restaurant to please adults in the first place.　 Small snapper can easily be found in Asian markets and are easy to roast in the oven.

？
Did anyone see the FCI Japanese news broadcast on the morning of May 18? ？
In between the news footage, there was a voice that had nothing to do with the content of the news. I'm glad to see you again", and twice.
This voice had nothing to do with the news that was being broadcast at the time.
Is this a broadcast accident? ？
Was it on other people's TVs as well? ？
I didn't pay much attention the first time, but since it came in twice, it was like a psychic phenomenon and scared me a little. If anyone says they heard it too, I would be glad if you could respond.
If it was just in my house, it would be too scary ・ ・ ・

How to send packages from Hawaii at the lowest price

The last time I brought my stuff back from Hawaii by myself, I was charged a huge overage fee and it ended up being too heavy and not worth it.

Most of the contents are Hawaiian clothes, bags and souvenirs.

I always carry on as much as possible. I bring a Boston bag on top of a smaller suitcase that can be carried in, and put the suitcase in the top compartment and the Boston under the seat in front of me. If I can't fit it in, I put it in a cardboard box and send it by fedex or usps, but
usps is surprisingly expensive. I don't know how much the check-in surcharge is, but it is also expensive to send heavy items.

Thank you very much Aloha. I will try to take full advantage of the carry-on as much as possible. With my sister, who broke her arm last time, we kept our carry-on luggage to a minimum, so that may have been a factor.
The largest box that can be sent by USPS Flat Rate is not very big, and the price seems to vary from Hawaii to Hawaii. I thought the post office was the cheapest, but I will look into FedEx and UPS ！ Thank you very much ！.

We recommend a service called Pirate Ship. Even if you do not have a business account, you can purchase labels at a discounted price for broker accounts that Pirate Ship has. It is not very cheap, but it is about 10% less than the regular price.

Recently, while watching YouTube, I frequently see commercials for A Senior Flex Card, Senior Alliance Benefit Card, etc., that offer special, free medical and food benefits to seniors who are 64 years of age or older and have Medicare. I googled to see if there is such a thing and found some information that it is a Scam （ Scam ） and some information that if you join a certain insurance company, they will offer it to you. If you know, could you please give me the correct information?

So, it depends on your personal needs, so you should talk to your agent (e.g., you want good dental benefits, you want food delivery, you want some of the Medicare fees to be covered, etc.) and choose the plan that best suits your needs.

What advice do you have for him as he stands on the brink of no longer being able to continue playing baseball in the future? He won the Koshien championship in spring and summer in consecutive years, and was drafted first overall by the Hanshin team with a bang. Fujinami had won double-digit victories in three consecutive years since his rookie year and seemed to be on the way to becoming an ace, but suddenly he began to have trouble with his control of the ball. Fujinami's mentality was thought to be the main cause, and he decided to make a fresh start and challenge MLB this year.
In his first game in MLB, he had a great start, but after that, he was even more out of control than in NPB. To date, he has pitched in four games and has a horrendous 14.40 earned-run average.
