I am currently a sophomore undergraduate majoring in Information Technology.
The main purpose of the training is to learn about entrepreneurship, and we are planning to visit Intel and Google headquarters, Stanford University and Computer History Museum.
So, I would like to visit some interesting places during my free time on 3/13
(from morning till noon)
to do some sightseeing as well,I would like to know any places you recommend!
Personally, I like NBA, so I would like to go to Warriors shop
but
if I go from San Jose, is it realistic considering round trip time ?
I also want to talk about NBA and welcome anyone who wants to go with me. I would also welcome anyone who would like to talk about the NBA or go with me, so please contact me.This text has been translated by auto-translation.

Safe neighborhoods around Berkeley

I will be staying at UC Berkeley for a year and am looking for a place to live alone.
I'm thinking of not only the Berkeley area, but also commuting by BART, so I'm considering places around El Cerrito del Norte, Lafayette, Walnut Creek, etc.
I'd love to know which areas are safe and recommended.I would appreciate it if you could tell me which areas are safe and which you would recommend. If you know of any unsafe streets, please let us know. This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation.

College Avenue near Campus is popular among students with many apartments.
The area along College Ave. to Rockridge is relatively safe.
Rockridge is a popular area with many restaurants. The address is Oakland, though.
Basically, the closer you are to Oakland and Richmond, the more careful you should be.
Roughly speaking, South Berkeley is the area following Oakland, and North Berkeley (Berkeley Hills) is a safe residential area.
UC Berkeley is positioned as Central Berkeley.
The area near San Pablo Boulevard, especially on its west side, is not recommended.
Telegraph is the main street from Central Berkeley to Oakland.
Orinda, Lafayette, and Walnut Creek are safe, upscale neighborhoods, but may be inconvenient to get to BART without a car.
If you are thinking of the El Cerrito side, the El Cerrito Plaza station is safer and more convenient.
In that case, Albany is also safe and a popular area for Japanese.
El Cerrito Del Norte is relatively safe on the El Cerrito Hills side, but you should keep in mind that it is next to Richmond.
However, I think the rent is cheaper because of that.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)

Thank you for the details !
Since I don't know if I can buy a car right away, I will try to look in the Berkeley area up to around Rockridge and around North Berkeley, Albany and El Cerrito Plaza. I will also try to avoid the west side of San Pablo.
Thank you very much for your help ! !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)

Security in and around San Francisco

Nice to meet you.
Southern California is a homemaker living in Orange County.
My daughter is in 11th grade and will be going to Stanford, UC Berkeley, and UC Davis for college previews.
At first, we had booked a hotel at the Hilton in downtown San Francisco, but
an acquaintance told us not to go downtown because it was unsafe and dangerous, so
we booked a hotel in San Mateo.
Since it was spring break, I wanted to visit the Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman's Wharf,
Alcatraz Island, etc. during my preview of the university, but another acquaintance told me
that the area around San Francisco is very unsafe now.I was told that the area around San Francisco is very unsafe right now and that it would be better not to go there in my car as well.
He said it would be better to rent a car because they break your windows during the two hours you are eating in a restaurant.I would appreciate any information from those of you who live in the San Francisco area regarding security.
How do you prevent against car break-ins, etc. ( I know the basic premise is to not leave things in the car in the first place. )
By the way, the car we are going to is Mercedez Benz GLS450.
It is equipped with an in-car camera and the glass is smoked.
Please do not hesitate to contact me.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)

The city of San Francisco is not safe, so I think staying in the South Bay is the right choice, especially if you and your daughter are together.
If you park on the street, there is a high probability that your car will be vandalized, so it is safer to park indoors or take an Uber or lift instead of driving yourself.
By the way, even if you report a car vandalism, it is basically not taken care of, and it seems that the police act less than 5% of the time.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 live in a residential area of SF city and was surprised to see downtown after a long time. After the pandemic, I felt that downtown SF (especially around the Civic Center) was not safe. I would recommend not to go out at night.

Question. I use an EV charging app called ChargePoint. I heard that there is a ChargePoint charging station in a garage in Japantown, San Francisco, but I was wondering if anyone knows where it is located in the garage ? I was there today and couldn't find it. I would appreciate it if you could let me know in case I have a chance to go there in the future. Thank you in advance.

Illegal ?

I went to a hair salon the other day.
I tried to ask for the same female stylist as last time because I liked the style, but she said she only works in the evening on weekdays, and I didn't have time, so I had a different male stylist in the morning, and I saw his US license on his seat, I think. I saw his U.S. driver's license on his seat, but it was not on the previous stylist's seat and he only worked in the evening, so I thought he was probably a student and did not have a driver's license. I wonder if there are a lot of people like that regardless of the industry ?
I am wondering if I should ask the same stylist again because I want to have the same stylist for a long time.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)

The U.S. is a multi-ethnic country and people with many different circumstances live here.
Did he give you a good cut ? Is he a skilled person ?
You have to work because you have children.
There are many considerations, such as college rights for children born to illegal parents, called DACa.Never ask if they have a driver's license.
If you are going to ask, choose someone else. It is better to avoid doing something that will hurt a person's life without knowing anything about it.This text has been translated by auto-translation.

Have they done away with customs declarations ? My parents, who are in their 70s, are coming here in May, and I am worried because it will be the first time they are coming alone, and neither of them speak English.
I am gathering a lot of information, but I heard that the customs declaration form has been abolished. I wish I could go back to Japan and come with you, but due to circumstances I can't. I wish I could go back to Japan and come with you, but due to circumstances I cannot.

I entered the country yesterday and the customs declaration form was discontinued. No kiosks, just a question at immigration "Do you have anything to apply for ?". Even after picking up my luggage, I was asked if I had anything to apply for ? and was able to get out easily with a No.
UA, but before we landed, there was an announcement that we did not need a customs declaration form since entry was now paperless.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)
