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.

They have a delta strain followed by a lambda strain. I hope it will settle down soon.

I understand that the lambda strain accounts for 81% of the recent pail infections.
We are playing catch-up with more and more mutant species.

They say you can originally stay for 183 days without a visa, but realistically it looks like about 90 days.
To stay longer, you need a visa as follows.
（ Information may be out of date, so please do your own research ）

・ Work visa ： to be renewed annually
・ Resident visa
・ Investor visa ： to be renewed every 2 years
・ Professional Visa
・ Artist Visa

After four years of residence in Peru, the applicant becomes eligible for permanent residence.
Please note that if you go abroad for more than one year after obtaining this status, it will expire.

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 have a simple question.
I think middle age starts in one’s 40s, but are people in their 60s or older—the age of retirement—considered elderly?
Are people in their 70s considered elderly? Or is there another way to describe them?

#4619 zoi,

I don't think you can draw a clear line there.

I was born exactly one year before the end of the war （—or rather, our defeat ）.

So, while I’m considered “late elderly,” I suppose you could also call me “terminally elderly.”

I could take a one-way trip to the other world at any time, but

it just doesn’t seem to happen. In other words, I’m “in excellent health.”

However, my dementia is slowly progressing.

Do you know this song? ？

“One Way Ticket”

Song by
NEIL SEDAKA

Choo-choo train chuggin' down the track
Gotta travel on, never comin' back
Ooh-ooh, got a one-way ticket to the blues (ooh-ooh)

This is Baikinman. For some reason—perhaps a mix-up—I haven't been able to post my writings lately.

I believe it started around 2009—excluding the pandemic period—and whenever I travel to Japan once a year, I walk the Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage, dividing the full circuit into roughly one-quarter sections and completing about two and a half circuits so far.

To be continued...

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.

アメリカ人の義母と私の子供から見て誰が伯父•叔母に当たるのかの話をしていた時に、Auntyに当たらない人でもAuntyをつけると、丁寧な言い方になると言っていました。
私は義母の事を名前だけで呼んでいるので、ちょっと失礼だなぁと思われているのかと少し心配になりました。
Aunty Uncle 付ける付けないと義母の呼び方について、うちではこうしてるなどご意見頂きたいです。

アメリカで義母を呼びかける時は名前で呼ぶことは、
全然失礼ではなく一般的だと思います。
義母の方からmomと呼んでねとか言われた時はそう呼べば良いです。
日本だと義母に名前で呼ぶ方は余りいないと思いますが
アメリカですから日本に当てはめなくても
大丈夫ですよ。
