We have a 1 year old and a 3 year old. If anyone knows of a Japanese day care or preschool in the Hayward, Fremont, Union City, or Milpitas area, I would appreciate it if you would contact me.

Nice to meet you. I will be relocating to Silicon Valley this year.
I will be bringing my high school child with me and would like to find a home in Santa Clara.
I have seen the levels and racial composition at Great Schools, but
do you know anything about the atmosphere and recommendations for Santa Clara High School ・ or Wilcox High School
?
Also, if you can recommend any other school districts, I would appreciate it.
My child would like a school that is not too high-level ・ and not too racially polarized.

traffic accident

I am having trouble with a $35,000 claim for a car accident I caused a year ago. It was a rental car and I had property damage insurance on the main unit, but I caused the accident when I removed the liability. The other driver's car had a little dent near one door, but I don't think it would cost this much because the original car was old and beat up. However, there is a note that it includes the administration fee and defense fee.
No one was injured at the time of the accident.
I often hear about whiplash later on, but … I don't know about that fact at this point.
The other party was an elderly Korean couple.
We are still new to the US and can't hide our impatience at this sudden situation.
Please, anyone can give us some advice.
I guess we should find a lawyer first ?.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

Thanks for writing.I wanted to reply, but it was like sending an email and I'm not sure how Vivinavi works, so I'll leave it here.
We did not have Liability, but had insurance on the rental car itself. The receptionist told me Liability was optional. That's not right either.This is a rental company with quite a lot of stores. We did not call Police. We had just come to the US and had an accident and were panicking.
The other driver was from Korea, but I don't know if he was in a hurry or what, but we didn't call them.
I have looked into credit card insurance and company insurance that would cover this accident, but I seem to be at a loss.We are still in the process of negotiating the amount.

Hi
I'm moving to the Bay Area and was wondering if there are any other sites besides Zillow and Craigslist that you would recommend for apartment hunting ?
I'd also like to see some reviews to make sure I don't make any mistakes if I actually live there. I would also like to refer to reviews to make sure I don't make any mistakes if I actually live in an apartment.This text has been translated by auto-translation.

I found mine on Zillow.
There are some Japanese real estate agencies, but I don't recommend them.I had a bad experience.
I looked at a lot of Google reviews too, but you never know until you actually live there.There are always people who write bad things, and on the other hand, I doubt that they write only good things. The apartment I actually live in now doesn't have good reviews but the living comfort is ok. With houses, it depends tremendously on what kind of person the owner is. If you decide on the area you want to live in and actually go around, I would recommend going directly to the places that are having open houses to see them in person because they are putting up balloons. You can see rooms that have not yet been put on Zillow, etc. Be aware that many of the buildings are old, even if they look beautiful at a glance. This text has been translated by auto-translation.

Worst Japanese-American Beauty Salon Experience of My Life

This is a Japanese hair salon introduced on Vivinavi. I asked them to do my hair for my friend's wedding, but I had to wait for hours for the hair to be done, and they were typing emails while they were doing it. Of course, they were late for the ceremony, and the worst part was that the set was completely different from the picture, and in the latter half of the ceremony, my hair was completely untied. The owner of the shop was LA, and the owner of the shop is a Japanese-American. She told us that the owner of the salon has salons in LA and the Bay Area and caters mainly to celebrities, but I never want to go back to a place like this. I am so angry now that I have cooled down because my big day was ruined by this terrible hairdresser. I want to name names here as well. What is the right thing to do in such a case ? I would like to get some good advice. Thank you very much.

That's terrible. I also contacted a tax accountant who was referred to me here and was treated terribly ・ I would like to put in a review, but he seems to be a small private practice that doesn't appear on yelp or google. I'm not sure what to do about it, but it seems to be a small private business that doesn't appear on yelp or google. I too am trying to figure out what to do about this anger. I keep telling myself that it might be best to forget about it.

I am not a hairdresser, but I am a business owner. I think the way you come across depends on whether you simply want to complain ? or want an apology ? or whether a refund would make you feel better ? or not. From a business standpoint, I wish they would have contacted us first instead of writing directly to Yelp or Google to complain. Writing an anonymous complaint to Yelp or Google may be an outlet for your anger, but it can be a huge blow to a small business. Do you need to go that far ? I don't think it will solve the underlying problem, since the person reading the review may see you as a malicious complainer. I suggest you contact them directly and talk to the owner first.

However, I paid the money but still have not received it back.
I have been able to contact them by email for a little while, but nothing has happened.
Please let me know if you have any information about this company.

I
think it means that the Tax Return Refund has not yet been paid.
If your income is W - 2, the IRS will examine your income and the time between
the examination of your documents and the Refund is short, - 2
3 weeks after you file your return.
If you are doing your own work and have depreciation, for example,
it may take as long as 6 months for the IRS to review your application, so please understand that
you will not receive your Refund immediately in all cases.
See Where's My Refund? on the IRS website.
https://sa.www4.irs.gov/irfof/lang/en/irfofgetstatus.jsp
If there is a problem with your tax return, it depends on when you file your return. If you filed your return by April 18, you should have already received a
notice from the IRS, so you can check your refund
on the IRS website and if it shows that your return has been received and is still under review, then you can determine that
there is no problem with your return. I think.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

Procedures required by DMV when returning to Japan

May I ask a question about the procedures required by the DMV when I return to Japan?
I will be returning to Japan this month. I have already been issued an international driver's license, but I don't know if there are any procedures required by the DMV for a U.S. driver's license after that.
Is there anything I need to do about my US driver's license when I return to Japan ? Also, do I need to change my address ?
If I change my address to Japan, I am worried that my international license will be revoked.
If anyone has any information, it would be very helpful. Thank you in advance.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

Souvenirs for accompanying students

Thanks for taking a look.
I am relocating to Silicon Valley next year with my husband.
My husband has been there before me and has received a lot of support from local colleagues and neighbors
so I am planning to prepare a gift to thank him for that and to say hello to him.
My husband has told me that
・ cigarettes ( requests from colleagues )
・ Japanese character stationery ( same as above )
・ Japanese souvenirs ( Japanese towel etc )
but are there any other things ! that you were happy to receive?
Currently, I am thinking of
・ high-class soup stock or tea
・ sprinkles
・ saran wrap
・ source of hot spring water
・ Japanese or Western sweets ( things you can get at a department store Items that can be procured )
・ Instant noodles ( May be hard to find locally, but not suitable as souvenirs ? )
・ Retort foods ( Same as above )
etc.
We think the first step is the most important when greeting someone, so please let us know if you have any advice ! or if you have any suggestions for the above items … that you think are not suitable.This text has been translated by auto-translation.

Hello.
You are a wonderful wife to have prepared so many things for your husband.Some food items are not allowed, and people here are vegetarian, vegan, pescatarian, and other organic oriented people Some amino acids in soup stock are not allowed, or meat extract in cup ramen noodles.
The sure thing is tea-based products and sweets.
Kit Kat and other green tea flavors are appreciated.
Other teas are also appreciated, and drip coffee is great because we don't have it here.
Stationery items also do not use pencils or erasers here ( just a squishy erase with a pen ).
Maybe a cute notepad or masking tape would be nice.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

I think they will be pleased with the luxury furikake, it doesn't take up much space and lasts a long time. !
I think it would be good to have some delicious flavored nori (seaweed in a can), since we don't buy them here.
Just one thing. Saran wrap is usually available at Daiso.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

Extreme care must be taken when it comes to food, as many items are prohibited from being brought into the country. Importation of anything of animal origin is prohibited. Even plant-derived items, such as seeds and items that may harbor insects, must be quarantined. Baked goods ( such as rice crackers, cookies, etc. ) do not seem to be a problem, but fresh confections may be a problem. ( Japanese confectionery stores can be found in Silicon Valley. )
Japanese stationery seems to be appreciated because of its good quality. If the family has children ( Japanese ), Japanese comic books, characters, DVDs, etc. would also be appreciated. If the recipient is an American, small Japanese souvenirs ( such as dolls, wallets, scarves, etc. ) are also likely to be appreciated.This text has been translated by auto-translation.

Nice to meet you.
Just to be frank, I would like to take the practical test at the DMV in San Francisco, is there anyone who is kind enough to accompany me ?
I am thinking of 4/7 or 4/8 as my schedule.
We can provide a rental car.
We can pay you some compensation, or you can have a meal at a restaurant, etc.
I would appreciate it if you could contact me as soon as possible so that I can discuss this with my roommates and business associates.

Improvement of English language skills of elementary school students

Please let me know if you are seniors or have the same problem !
How are you all improving your children's English at Corona Disaster ?
Our family moved here in April 2021 for a new job.
We have children in 2nd and 3rd grade at American school age.
We put them in a local school, but they only go to school 4 days a week, and only half a day, for Corona Prep, and the rest of the time they are home-schooled.
He has no ESL classes and is suddenly in the same class as native English speaking children.
Naturally, I don't understand nearly as much as I should.
Homework ( Home study materials ) are also too difficult in English, so we only do math and simple reading.
I thought this was a bad idea, so I decided to go to an English conversation school ( once a week ) which requires a lot of homework.
My parents help me with the homework and look up the meanings.
I also decided to learn piano in English since I had played piano in Japan.
I also plan to sign up for one or two summer camps that I can do without English skills.
Will I be able to keep up my English skills in this way ??This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

I think there are many people in a similar situation.
I think the best thing to do is to get a private tutor to do homework and prepare and review school work together.
Or, a Japanese cram school that provides support for the local school would also be a good idea.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

I know it is a lot of work just to finish the assignments in front of you, but without basic knowledge, they will have a hard time later on, so I think it is better to concentrate on studying somewhere else. I would recommend going back 1 ~ 2 years below the current school year and starting with a review during summer break, but if you can't take that much time, it would be good if you could just review the previous semester. You can ask your school if they have an ESL program, or you can join an ESL tutoring school ?.

Children absorb information quickly. Please do not be in a hurry and watch over them for a long time.
I am sure they will become proficient in time.
In my personal experience, it is more efficient to learn a language in English
than in Japanese ( by looking up the meaning in an English-English dictionary ) for example.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)
