Can anyone please tell me ！
Even though it is the end of the school year, I would like my child to be able to transfer to the elementary school of his/her choice in May so that he/she can get accustomed to the local school as much as possible. I wonder if the school will accept them at the end of the school year.
As far as I can tell from the school's website, the information seems to indicate that it is not accepted … but I guess not ….
I don't know, so I would appreciate it if someone with experience could tell me ！.

SanJose public elementary school, there was a previous expat who moved into the school in May. I think it is a matter of availability, not timing, as to whether we can accept them or not.

As nao mentioned, I think it is whether there are openings or not. Personally, I think that at the end of the school year, the atmosphere of the classes and school has matured over the past year. I hope that your child will not feel alienated in this atmosphere.

Hello, I am a resident of Honolulu. I live in Honolulu and was supposed to meet a friend from Japan at the San Francisco airport today, but my flight from Japan was delayed for 6 hours.
Please let me know if you have any recommendations for places to explore near the airport. Thank you in advance.

I would like to transfer from a Japanese university to CA State University.
I contacted the state university and was told that I cannot
apply because I do not have Golden Four credits.
If anyone knows how to obtain the Golden Four,
I would appreciate your advice.
（ Can I get it through Community Collage ？ ）

1. You can probably take the required courses through OPEN UNIVERSITY the semester before you hope to get it. https://www.calstate.edu/attend/professional-and-continuing-education/Pages/open-university.aspx
2. You should consult with your Japanese university academic advisor (who can contact the CSU campus you want to enter) to see if any of the courses you already took can be applied to one of the Golden Four courses.
3. You could take these courses at a community college (best way IMO).

Good luck!

Greetings

I am American and have been teaching ESL in groups as well as helping friends learn and practice English.
The Japanese language and culture are an interest of mine, so cultural exchange and friendship is compensation enough for the help I provide. If you're interested in light conversation to practice your English or want guidance on methods of study, please reply or email me. I'm happy to help.

Hi DavisSensei,

I'm Japanese currently living in Mountain View, CA.
I'd be so happy if we can do cultural exchange.
Hope to hear from you soon!

I recently took the practical exam at the San Francisco DMV and was able to do it without a companion. I know two other people who took the test at the same time, and they were able to pass without a companion. For your information

Hi ！
You mean you were okay on your own despite your provisional license status ？?

Excuse me for the sidebar. For example, if you bring an international driver's license from Japan and your Japanese driver's license is also within the expiration date, you can rent a car and go to the DMV alone. I had no problem with that. Or if you have a driver's license from another state, I don't know exactly, but it may be possible for you to go alone. I took it in sf in June 2022.

Officially, a chaperone seems to be a must.
If you are asked if you don't have a chaperone, it seems you have to give up and say you were out of luck.
It seems that those who were able to take it alone were lucky.
Officials seem to require a chaperone.

Looking for a place to keep a medium sized dog （ long term ）

Due to circumstances, I need to return home temporarily for about 6 months and am looking for a place to keep my child for that time.　I am not sure how long it will be, but I think it will coincide with the holiday season. I have been able to ask a friend and her family for help, but they are planning to move soon, so I can no longer ask them.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Since we are long term, dog boarding, dog hotel, etc. would be out of our budget, but we may have to consider it when the time comes.
Do you have any other recommendations on sites such as Rover.com ？
Thank you.

Dear Nobu,
Thank you for your inquiry.

His breed is Pit Bull （ small size ） and he is 4 years old.　
He is a very lost child in terms of first impressions, both in terms of appearance and in terms of breed.

but to me he is a Labrador in a Pit Bull suit, he may take a little time to warm up, but as long as he gets a walk and exerts his energy, he is a couch potato. They love to be snuggled up to their owners.　He is very responsive to cats. With small children and other dogs it depends on their chemistry. He can be a bit of a bully to dogs at times. He goes potty on walks and several times a day during the day in his designated spot in the back yard. but when he is stressed, he tends to take it off a bit.
I was thinking of a budget of ＄ up to 3,000.
That's all.

AAA is the most solid insurance company, but the premiums are higher than Geico and Progressive.
Since you have no driving history here, you cannot judge the risk, so all insurance companies charge higher rates from the beginning.
In addition, Japanese insurance agents are generally not recommended because of their high commissions.

Trial to amend Article 11 of the Nationality Law

Please see if you are interested.


Trial for amendment of Article 11 of the Nationality Law
Under the current Japanese Nationality Law, a person "automatically" loses Japanese nationality if he/she voluntarily acquires the nationality of another country.
Now, plaintiffs residing in Switzerland and other countries are fighting in court to amend this. I think this is an important trial for those of us living in the US.
There is a petition campaign on change.org to amend Article 11 of the Nationality Law. Currently, about 43,000 votes have been collected, but it would be great if more people would sign the petition. The next trial will be held in September. By the way, I am an individual and not a member of this association.

There is no obligation to file a "notification of loss of family register （ notification of loss of nationality ）" with the Japanese consulate, and unless you do so, your Japanese family register will remain, so you should be able to renew your Japanese passport "in Japan" and effectively keep your dual nationality. I was able to keep my dual citizenship.
