It is the capital of the state of Victoria and still has a British atmosphere. Prices are not that high.

Spectrumのインターネットだけを使っているのですが、一番最初にサインアップした時は何かのスペシャルだったのはわかっているのですが、＄６０台だったのがじわじわ上げてきて、今となってはもうすぐ＄１５０に達します。文句を言えば安くしてくれると言う人もいますがそれも本当か分からず、店舗で断られ泣き寝入りも悲しいのですが、どなたか安くしてもらった人いますか？　そして、他の会社でもインターネット安くて良いところ知っていらったら教えていただけますか？　よろしくお願いします。

私はハワイにいない間、一旦スペクトラムを解約した後、改めて契約したら数十ドル安くなりました。
ずっとハワイにいるなら、一旦、別の会社に移動後、改めてスペクトラムに戻ればいいと思います。

別の会社のほうが安かったら、スペクトラムに戻らなくてもいいでしょう。

知り合いにスペクトラムを紹介したら、携帯とインターネット両方に入ったらしく。

私が契約した時よりもはるかに安くてびっくりしました。

タイミングやプロモーションで金額は変わるようですね。

我が家ではT-mobile のインターネットに変更しました。今まではSpectrum や Hawaiian Telcom のインターネットを使っていましたがどちらも２年のプロモーション期間が終わると値段が高くなってしまいますが T-mobile は＄50ぐらいで余計なFeeも付きません。５年間は同じ値段みたいです。我が家ではコンスタントに２00Mbps のスピードが出ています。それ以外でT-mobile の良いところはセットアップにテクニシャンを呼ばずに自分で簡単にセットアップできることです。

私も元々Spectrumを使っていましたが、同様に毎年料金が上がって来たので、去年思い切ってT-mobileに変更しました。
キャンセルの電話をした際、理由を聞かれ、毎年料金が上がっていくのが気に入らない、と言うと、じゃあ、と色々と安くなるプランを出してきて説得してきました。
本当に引き留めようと長時間電話に付き合わなくてはいけなかったのですが、既にT-mobileと契約してしまっていたので断りました。
その後も郵送＆メールでお得なプランが送られてきて、それなら最初から値段上げないでくれればよかったのに、とモヤっとしました。

その後引っ越しをしなくてはならず、引っ越し先ではHawaiian Telcom一択になったのでまた解約をしなくてはいけなかったのですが、Billing cycle（請求書の締め日）を数日逃していたので、まるまる１ヶ月分、サービスを受けないにも関わらずT-mobileに支払いを強いられる形になりました。ほんとに理不尽な事は多いですよね。
オフィスに直に行ってもきっと何もしてくれないと思いますが、電話で解約したいと伝えるときっと交渉してくると思いますよ。

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.

「貧乏臭い」と感じるかどうかは、お金の多さよりも行動や考え方によることが多いと思います。

よく挙げられる例は、

いつも人におごってもらおうとする
自分の得ばかり考えている
必要以上にケチで周囲に迷惑をかける
店員さんや業者さんに横柄な態度を取る
見栄ばかり張って実態が伴わない
文句や不満ばかり言う
ゴミや物を整理せず、だらしない
安い物を買ってはすぐ捨てることを繰り返す

A company run by a dictatorial CEO where employees in their 30s and 40s make up a small percentage of the workforce—the reason being there are no mid-level managers 🟰—is highly likely to be an exploitative workplace.

When you apply for a job, I think you should state your desired hourly wage.

Once, when I was assigned to a tour desk, I stated my desired hourly wage, and they agreed to it. Since the hourly wage at the time was $ 15, I asked for more than that.

In that case, my request was granted.

If they refuse to negotiate your hourly wage and simply offer the minimum wage, I think that’s a exploitative company.

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。
