I often go to Manila more than once a month for business and sightseeing,   From a friend in the Philippines   I'm always begging for "Pasalubong" lol   ※Pasalbon = meaning of souvenir   I know it's a substitute for greetings, so I'm throwing it lightly, but even so, the Philippines, where the souvenir (gift) culture is pervasive, can't be helped.   Therefore, I would like to introduce some souvenirs that I bring from Japan to the Philippines every time. (Of course, special gifts are excluded)   1. つぶグミ (TSUBU-GUMI) Girls in their teens and thirties love this. The ...

Hello, it's Hiro.   Today, America is a cashless society, and it is no exaggeration to say that we can no longer live without a credit card.   I have rarely seen cash payments during my three-year stay in the United States.   ※At least I have never seen it in restaurant accounting for 3 years.   So, let's make a credit card as soon as you decide to go to the United States.   ※It is not a solicitation for a credit card, and in the United States, a credit card is a lifeline.   Can't make a credit ...

Hello, it's Hiro.   I was stayed in the United States for three years from 2015 to 2018, so   Here are three excellent credit cards that I have been using since I was US expatriate.   As you know, credit history (credit score) is extremely important in the United States.   We don't have that system yet in Japan.   The credit history  which I was not familiar with when I lived in Japan, made me realize how different things can and cannot be done by people who have credit in the United States since I started living in ...

Hello, it's Hiro.   Don't you think American hotels are expensive?   I have lived in the United States for 3 years and have stayed at hotels more than 100 times,   Here's a quick summary from the perspective of a Japanese traveler about what you need to be prepared for when staying at a hotel under $ 70.   Motel or shared room This is known at the time of booking, but in the United States, hotels under $ 70 are considered cheap hotels, so   Most of them are one-story or two-story motels and dormitory types.   * ...

Hello, it's Hiro.   I started as a side business when I was a salaryman, and now I earn an average of over 200,000 yen a month.   It has been going on for more than 8 years since 2013, when I started 'Retail Arbitrage' side business.   ※Retail Arbitrage, we call it as 'SEDORI' in Japan.   I would like to easily teach you the points for those who want to start SEDORI from now on.   Focus on your area of expertise I think this is the most important and basic thing to start with.   "What is ...

Hello, it's Hiro.   What do you think of resort condominiums?   The concept of being owned only by the rich is already a thing of the past, and recently it has become a good time for elderly people living on pensions to easily own it if they have the money.   I currently own three condominiums, but most of the elderly people greet me when I use them occasionally.   Compared to the city, the natural environment is better and it is better for medical treatment, so I imagine that I live there.   "Since I lived here, I ...
