It seems difficult to move to other prefectures now, but I would like to visit Tottori Sand Dunes someday.
How big are the Tottori Sand Dunes ？?

Those of you who have crossed the ocean to come here to Los Angeles and Japan
are always concerned about something related to your travel between Los Angeles and Japan.

If you have anything to say or questions, please feel free to write.
I'll try to write "something" as well.

Example ：
What means do you use to call when you return to Japan?

Which seat on the plane do you prefer, Aisle or Window, front, back,

Which airline do you think has the best food?

Which mode of transportation do you use to get to the local area?

and so on and so on

I haven't traveled to Japan yet this year.

Did I go last year? My memory isn't so clear—my dementia is getting worse.

I remember meeting up with four friends from junior high school at the ticket gates of Kunitachi Station on the Chuo Line in Tokyo

and going to a nearby restaurant.

According to K, who organized the trip, he tried calling everyone on the list from the old class reunion roster, but

either most of them had changed their phone numbers or those numbers were no longer in use,

so he couldn’t reach anyone. Well, it can’t be helped—we’re all over 80, after all.

I thanked K for all his hard work.

When you’re over 80, even if you’re still alive, you’re practically an alien—it’s so sad...

＞ The ticket gates at Kunitachi Station on the Chuo Line in Tokyo

That said, I imagine many of you don’t know exactly where “Kunitachi Station on the Chuo Line” is located in Tokyo.

To begin with, people usually read “Kokuritsu” as “kokuritsu,” right? But it’s actually pronounced “Kunitachi.”

Even I, who was born and raised on the eastern outskirts of Tokyo, used to pronounce it “kokuritsu” until around middle school.

Sorry for the pointless comment.

How many elderly people of Japanese descent are living in LA? We would be happy to be a place of rest and relaxation for the elderly who use the Koryu Hiroba. We think the eligibility is from 65 years old and up.

Even now, it's 98°F/37°C in the shade of my backyard. It's just so hot.

The other day, I had the chance to meet up with some Japanese friends who live in Gardena and Torrance, and

I was surprised to hear everyone talking about the temperature in “Celsius.”

Until then, I had believed that Japanese people here in the U.S. also talked about temperatures in “Fahrenheit.”

The reason for this is that for over 50 years, I’ve been following local events through the news on the major TV networks (CBS, NBC, ABC ）), so I’ve been getting my weather forecasts from those same channels.

This brings back memories, too.

It was back when I hadn’t even been here for many years yet

When I translate the lyrics, I start to feel an overwhelming sense of nostalgia for my hometown

Though it’s not quite the kind of hometown described in this poem...

The term “Bayou” in #1106 refers to the following location:

https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%90%E3%82%A4% E3%83%A6%E3%83%BC_(%E5%9C%B0%E5%BD%A2)

It also sounds like a song in which someone who has moved to the city longs for their hometown.

I was born and raised on the eastern outskirts of Tokyo. I was born about a year before the （ End of the War ） Commemoration Day.

Back when I was a child, the eastern side was a residential area, but toward the city center, fields and farmland stretched as far as the eye could see.

So, on sunny evenings, I used to see a small silhouette of Mount Fuji in the direction of true west.

When I hear this song, it somehow reminds me of my hometown—back when I used to catch medaka and crayfish in the irrigation ditches among the fields and farmland.

Lately, here in the San Fernando Valley where I live,

we’ve been having a string of days where the temperature is approaching 100°F (38°C). It’s extremely hot.

As a result, if I go for a walk around the neighborhood for about an hour, I end up completely drenched.

I wonder what it’s like in the Gardena/Torrance area, where many Japanese people live.

Since it’s an area where sea breezes blow in, the temperature is probably about 10 ～ to 20°F lower.

Unlike the days when the only hybrid was the Prius, today
there are a variety of hybrid cars on the market, so
you don't have to choose a Prius to choose another hybrid car.

But Porsche is different. Hybrid is the lowest and maintenance cost is absurdly high

Other German luxury cars also have high maintenance cost
Wealthy people may flirt with Benz, Porsche, etc. for a while, but eventually they settle down with Lexus when they get old.
People who have enough money and don't mind the price end up with Lexus ～ It is best to change luxury cars in 3 years

Korean cars look cheap but they are copies and you can't find the soul of technology like Japanese cars
Sometimes people are fooled by the price and the glance, but I think I am not the only one. Sometimes there are people who are fooled by the price, but they are often people with low IQ.

正規Toyota Dealerでプリウス購入しました。
定期検査とオイルチェンジの際、実際にプリウス所有のメカの方は、プリウスは日本製だから購入したそうです。
一時期リコールのパーツがないため、新品は販売していなかったときもあり、カムリハイブリッドを勧められましたが、前方スポイラーにセンサーがなく(オプション購入)、やはりプリウスにしました。満タンで約450マイル走破は財布に優しいですね。
