I thought Taiwan allowed you to stay for 10 years if you obtained permanent residency.

みなさんにお伺いします。
海外に在住していて、日本で売っている商品をどうしても購入したいという場合、通販を利用される方がいるかと思いますが、その場合、海外へどうやって荷物を送っていますか?
昔は、親の所に荷物を送って、まとめてENSで送って貰っていました。
他に方法はありますか?
例えば、転送コムのような、手数料を払って発送してもらうとか、楽天市場なら、直接海外発送してもらえるお店で買うとか。
何か便利で、信用が出来て、安く発送してくれる方法をご存知であれば、教えて下さい。

しつこい程に様々なサイトから通常の半額くらいのビジネスクラスの航空券の販売を見ます。ある一つのサイトを利用している方がいて、その方曰くまだ詐欺などの被害には遭っていないとのこと。しかしながら、どのような経路でそれらの高額なビジネスクラスの航空券が販売できるのかがわからず、まだ信用できません。高齢になり、最近は二度の旅行も一度に減らしてでも、５時間以上のフライトはビジネスクラスを利用したいです。何故あのような料金でビジネスクラスが販売出来るのか、業界の方がいましたらお知らせください。

マイルを買い取る業者があり、その業者が買い取ったマイルを使ってビジネスクラスを安く利用したい人のビジネスクラス特典航空券を取得、通常のビジネスクラスより安く販売しているものがほとんどです。
航空会社がそれを発見した場合、その航空券は取り消されます。

とあるハワイの会社(日系メディア系)で社員の個人のSNSの利用でアカウントをやめなければ即日解雇と社長の独断でなったそうです。
そのようなことはできる、される、のでしょうか。。。

前提として業務時間中にやっていたわけでもなく、何か不利益になることをしたわけでもないようです。
「24時間会社に忠実にいるべき（気に食わないから）」が理由のようです。。。

そんな昭和な発想の人がいるんですねという感想ですが、、、
もしそういう事例(ヤバイ会社)があったら教えて欲しいなと思い投稿です。
SNSなんて皆やっている時代ですのでね。。。

その会社は違法行為ですね。

SNSをしてるからと言って、解雇をする事は違法行為ですね。

強行しようとするなら、弁護士さんにご相談された方が良いですね。

My mother has dementia. It’s quite severe, and she can’t remember anything for even a minute.
I’m posting this in the hope that anyone with experience living with a mother who has dementia might be able to offer advice or insights. Thank you in advance.

Kirizo-san,

I’m in my late senior years, too, and I’m starting to show a few signs of “dementia.”

Does your mother have severe dementia? That must be really tough.

I hope someone in a similar situation reads this thread—I wonder if there’s anyone out there.


Is there anyone out there? ？ ？ ？

After my friend retired, his wife was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.
In the early stages, there weren’t many problems, but as the disease progressed, she began wandering around the neighborhood and was taken in by the police several times, so we installed an interior lock on the door to prevent her from going out alone.

Eventually, she lost control of her bladder and bowels, so he had to put her in diapers and, when she soiled herself, carry her to the bathtub to wash her. It looked so difficult that I suggested he place her in a care facility, but but no matter how advanced his dementia was, there were times when he would return to his normal self. He feared we had abandoned him during those moments, and if we placed him in a facility, he would likely pass away within a few months to a year. So he refused to listen, insisting he wanted to care for him himself and see him off.
After that, he had a nursing bed installed at home through his insurance provider, Kaiser, and would go over to help whenever he needed assistance.

I’d sent four children to college, so I had no financial leeway and was constantly working.
Since I’d left everything related to the children and the household to my wife, and hadn’t really repaid her for all she’d done, I told her I’d do everything I could to care for her. A few years later, my wife passed away.
Watching her, it seemed less like she was truly alive and more like she was simply being kept alive; when she passed away, he said he had no regrets because he’d done everything he could, but I felt that I could never do the same.

Sunshine,

That friend of yours is a wonderful person. I wonder if I could do something like that...

In our household, it’s the other way around—I’m starting to lose my mind, and sometimes I end up being a burden to my wife.

I “forget” things every now and then, and my wife—who’s a feisty one—gives me a real earful, but

since there’s nothing I can do about it, she puts up with it. She’s a great wife.

友人の奥様が認知症になった時はまだ良い薬がありませんでしたが、今は薬もあるので病院で検査すれば、良い薬を処方して貰えるので進行を大分遅らせる事が出来るはずです。

日本だと高額医療補助があるので金銭的に助かりますが、アメリカの保険がどの程度カバーしてもらえるのか分かりません。
製薬会社の中には、利益をほとんど開発費に投じて作った薬もあるので、高額な物もあります。

友人の息子さん二人が医者で、家族の支えで金銭的には余裕がありました。
アメリカの自己破産の一番の原因は医療費なので、どうにもならない時は自分は日本国籍なので帰国する事も考えています。

今年新患でファミリードクターの予約を取られた方がいましたら教えてください。

新患の場合、ファミリードクターの予約を取るのに日にちがかかると聞きました。
ホノルル市内でどれくらい先に予約が取れましたか？
もちろん、ドクターによって違うと思いますが、経験者の方いらっしゃいましたら教えてください。

I just moved to Hawaii and don't have a track record here yet. Please tell me how to find a good place to live.
There are some sketchy websites out there, so if you know of any good real estate agencies, please let me know. ！

If it’s a major U.S. real estate company, you can trust it.

Kelly Williams （ K.W.) and the like.

Are you looking to rent ？ or do you plan to buy? ？

It depends on that.

If you're looking to rent, I think it's best to go with a real estate agency that has close ties to the local community.

I think you should contact the real estate agencies listed in this town guide.

I recently received an item from Amazon that was shipped to me by mistake.
Since I had placed an order very recently and my name was written on the package, I opened it—only to find it was an item I hadn't ordered.
I asked around my neighbors, and no one recognized it, so
I currently have it in my possession. What would you do in this situation? ？
The package contained everyday household items—specifically, bathroom supplies.

I know this might be overthinking things, but since you mentioned that this was a recent order and your name was on the box,
is there any chance that the wrong package was sent? ？
If that’s the case, I’ll contact Amazon to let them know I received the wrong item.
What is the current shipping status of your most recent order? ？

Since there had been an incident in the past where a package intended for another household was delivered to us—
(this is a townhouse)—I asked my neighbors, who seem to shop on Amazon frequently, and “There have been times when items meant for our house ended up at another neighbor’s. If it’s something you didn’t buy, why not just keep it? ？” I’ve been waiting for a response from Amazon since I posted this, but haven’t heard back yet. I appreciate everyone’s opinions. Thank you very much.

A very elderly, single Japanese-American male colleague gave me some natto to put on my pasta—the packages had expired one and two years ago. I suspect he had absolutely no idea they were past their expiration dates. Since he knows my daughter likes natto, I think he just happened to find them in his kitchen and brought them over. Without realizing it, I ended up eating the one that had expired a year ago. It didn’t taste strange, but I suppose I should thank him, right? ？ Of course, it’s probably safer not to mention that it was past its expiration date. ？ Even if I told him it was expired, I think he’d just say something like, “Oh, is that so? Sorry,” and that would be the end of it. But since he’s an older Japanese-American, he’s the type who might hold a grudge if I don’t thank him properly.

If it were me, after thanking them, I’d mention that the expiration date had passed by a year or two.

It might depend on how close Hoshisan and her colleague are.

If he’s married, it might be better to tell his wife.

If you tell someone with dementia or Alzheimer’s, they’ll probably forget right away.

Nana, thank you.
It would be one thing if they were just a little past their expiration date, but one and two years is way too long.
I’ll let them know and thank them.
I’ve been feeling a bit uneasy about this, but now I think I can clear things up. ！
