I am retired and have no job. The children are all on their own and seem to be safe and sound, and I haven't heard from them.
My old dog passed away at the age of 18. I am bored and bored.

Are you a tropical fish breeder in the U.S.A.?
If you have the following information, please advise me.

・ Please tell us what kind of conditioner you use to remove calcium from the water.
In Japan, we used tap water with Eheim 4 in 1.
I often hear that the water in the U.S. is hard water and the water in Silicon Valley is not undrinkable, but I hear that it is hard water in Kanto and I can't quite grasp the image.

・ I think I will install a heater for the aquarium tank in winter, but is it OK to use a Japanese one as it is?
Would it be better to procure one locally?

・ I found Petsmart as an aqua store, but is there any other aqua stores?

Thanks to the cooperation of many people, we have safely brought Corydoras from Japan.
I just wanted to share some information as I am getting settled into life in Palo Alto.

・ Tap water tastes the same as in Japan. （ I used to drink tap water as it is in Japan. ）
I still have some 4 in 1 that I brought from Japan, so I use it to remove chlorine.
As for bactericide, I use TOPFIN biological clearner which I bought here.

・ The filtering system, Eheim 2213, was shipped separately by air, discarding the filter media.

・ The filter media, hoses, and water tank were purchased from Amazon.
The tank was purchased as a starter set, so the filtration system could be used as a connection until the Eheim arrived.
（ Corydoras pandas finally started to survive after switching to Eheim, so Eheim was a must-have product. I don't know how I held on to it until it arrived ）

・ The bucket was purchased at Dollar Tree. I feel like I can't really find the bucket.

In Japan, I fed Kyorin's Vitacrin Red Beetle, but they do not eat the Red Beetle I bought here at all and I am looking for something else. I thought all akamushi were the same, but I guess they taste different.
Now I feed them corribits that I brought from Japan.
If you have any information on recommended food for corydoras, please let me know.

My first choice is to work for a semiconductor company in the U.S. （ I have experience working in both Japan and the U.S. ）,
Can you recommend a recruitment agency for engineers living in the U.S. ？
? I've heard that there are various companies that are strong in engineering and those that are not.
Thank you very much.

I would like to know if anyone has cleared customs privately at San Francisco airport or other airports in the U.S., and if so, I would appreciate your wisdom.
I was able to arrange for the export, but I was told to take care of the import and subsequent procedures on my own.
Could you please tell us what the procedure was like?
If the procedure is difficult, I would like to find a company that can handle customs clearance on my behalf, but if you have any information on how to find one, please let me know.
The package contains tropical fish, 2 boxes of styrofoam, and we are in the process of checking with the CDC and United States Fish and Wildlife Service regarding entry requirements for tropical fish.
I will take an Uber to pick up the package and bring it back.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

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.

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.

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 ！！

I have to go to the Japanese Embassy in SF to pick up my passport during the day this weekday. I'm looking for parking near the Japanese Embassy and there are a lot of options, do you have any recommendations ？ I would appreciate any information you could give me. I am a little depressed because I am coming from the South Bay.

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.
Thank you very much ！

Let's put it in wherever we can, and then we'll decide when we know the language.

ちなみに自分の妹はホームステッド高校に行ってましたが、多様性もあり割と良かったようです。
