I am looking for a Japanese day care that my 2 year old can attend on a full time basis. If you know of a daycare that would fall into this category in San Mateo, could you please give me the name of the daycare ？ Thank you very much.

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.

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.

MOCHI Thank you. I still think it is better to take an Uber or a lift for sightseeing. We have arranged a rental car.
Thanks also for the advice on where to stay. It is next week, so I will make sure I am well prepared.

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.

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.

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.

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 would appreciate it if you could tell me if there is anything I should pay attention to other than the customs declaration form, or if there is anything I can prepare here.

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.

If it is furnished, I think beds are usually included.
If you search for furnished apartments, you can see if there is a bed or not in the pictures.
You should inquire about it, but ・・・
