There was no size specification. As for the shoe rack, a kindergarten shoe rack is 14 ～ 18cm, and an elementary school shoe rack is 18cm ～ 24cm ？.

Wow, you can go to so many countries now...30 years ago it was only Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Vancouver, Canada,
Robson St used to be so crowded that you could throw a stone and hit a Japanese person.

I had heard that working holidays in the UK were popular and often at capacity until a few years ago, but just recently （ I was on a working holiday in the UK ） before Corona. Timing is very important.

In the US, you could get a J-1 Visa and work for 12 months ～ 18 months or so. I think you have to be young to get a visa for that too.
I heard that they stopped issuing visas for a while, but they recently reopened it again.

I would like to hear feedback and advice from those who have started YouTube.
Filming ・ How long does it take you to edit ？ Do you hire professionals ？
What do you do to increase traffic ？

I would greatly appreciate it if you could tell me as much as possible. I would be very grateful if you could tell me as much as you can.
Thank you very much.

If you are serious about this, I suggest you research youtubers who are doing similar topics to yours. It takes time and effort, but once you know what kind of videos are getting high ratings, you will start to get an idea.

I don't know what kind of YouTube you are doing, so please ignore me if I am misguided.

You could try a popular project （ Morning Routine ） or a behind-the-scenes look at a certain product or service. If it's a restaurant channel, how about a video of bribery or stocking up that customers can't usually see, without making it too commercial ？.

The free version of Zoom runs out after 40 minutes. You can start again, but it is inconvenient, so we recommend the paid version for longer meetings.

I have a daughter in the 4th grade of elementary school. She plans to take an entrance exam for a difficult junior high school.
We are having trouble because there are no major junior high school entrance exam cram schools in the Kisarazu, Kimitsu, and Sodegaura areas.
It is also difficult to commute to Chiba. 、、、、
Please give me information on tutoring or private tutors in the Kisarazu area that can help with junior high school entrance exams.

I’m currently working at my first non-Nikkei company, in an environment with many Japanese and Asian employees. My boss isn’t used to managing people, so he gets flustered and takes his frustration out on those around him by yelling at them. He even yells at new hires who just started and don’t know anything yet, telling them “that’s not right” without any explanation.
I think this kind of situation would be considered power harassment in Japan, but is the term “power harassment” also used in English-speaking countries, and does it refer to situations like this? ？

This is a common issue at Japanese companies.

You should report this to the Labor Department.
In the U.S., if a company did something like that,
the company itself would be sued.

I'll look into how to report this to the Labor Bureau. Alternatively,
since the company is in the food and beverage industry and originally from Europe, I think I could report it directly to the company itself, so I'd like to consider that option, but I'm worried about whether my anonymity will be properly protected.

Thank you, EEOC, for providing such specific details.
As I suspected, “power harassment” is a term coined in Japan and isn’t used in the U.S.
It’s certainly impossible to file a complaint without evidence. Moreover, since you can’t record conversations without the other person’s permission, it’s practically impossible unless the experience of workplace harassment is severe enough to cause mental distress and result in a doctor’s medical certificate.
I don’t plan on staying at this company much longer myself, but I feel sorry for the new hires and the other employees.

Mr. Hara

No, you can sue.

In both Japan and the United States, you can sue if conduct in the workplace constitutes another tort, such as assault, physical restraint, defamation, or acts that cause extreme mental distress.
Incidentally, “power harassment” is not an official legal term in Japan either



Regarding recordings, in Hawaii, if you are a party to the conversation, you can legally record it even without the other person’s permission.
The issue arises when you eavesdrop on a conversation in which you are not present.

Therefore, the explanation that recording without the person’s permission is illegal and that the case ends as soon as it is filed with the EEOC is also incorrect.

I still have a child in preschool, and my mother-in-law bought him a tablet, saying he might use it at school, but When do students typically start using tablets at school? ？ I assumed that even if they do start using them, they’d be using ones provided by the school—is that correct? ？
Since time spent on a tablet counts as screen time, I’d prefer to avoid it as much as possible for now.

Hello
My son is currently in first grade, but he’s been using an iPad since kindergarten.
Since they use the ones provided by the school, he never brings one home. It’s not like he uses it every day, though—it’s just that he sometimes uses it for math or writing.
Each student has their own iPad, which is managed by the teacher, so it seems the students aren’t allowed to touch them except when they’re being used in class.

Thank you for your post, Fish Shop ！
So they really do start using them in kindergarten, don't they?
I don't want them to find out that they can watch YouTube and play games on the tablet, but they'll probably start talking about that with their friends at school anyway.
I'm worried.

To help my child see the tablet as a tool for studying, I think I’ll hold off on letting them use it until they start using it at school.

Hello. I’m a woman in my late 20s.
I’ve been staying in Los Angeles for a few months for work, but I’ll be returning to Japan soon.
Since I’m here in the U.S. anyway, I want to buy things now that I might regret not buying later, thinking,
“I wish I’d bought this ！ ”
once I’m back in Japan.
In particular, I’d like to know if there are any items that aren’t sold in Japan, items that are quite expensive in Japan, or items that Japanese people living in the U.S. actually use and say, “I recommend this ！ ” , please let me know ！
Food ・ Snacks ・ Seasonings ・ Cosmetics ・ Daily necessities ・ Kitchenware ・ Clothing ・ miscellaneous goods—any category is welcome.
I’d also love to hear about “things you unexpectedly missed after returning to Japan” or “items you stocked up on before returning home.”
I’d be thrilled if you could share your recommendations ☺ ️

There are many flavors you don't often see in Japan, and since they're lightweight and don't take up much space, I think it's a good idea to pick some up—whether as souvenirs or for yourself ！

There sure are a lot of recommended items out there.

I’m in my late senior years myself; my parents have passed away, and my only sister has cut off all contact with me after a huge fight with my wife.

I’ve had my share of issues with my mother’s side of the family as well, so I’ve lost touch with them too.

Also, my best friend from high school is the same age as me, so we’ve even lost touch via email.

I still travel to Japan once a year, but there’s no one left I can contact or meet up with.

As a result, I now travel around Japan without bringing any souvenirs.

I apologize for going off on a tangent.
