A friend of mine said that buying property in Texas is cheap, but the taxes are higher than in other states. Is this true ？
Total, is property in Texas a good deal ？?

People who come from other states are surprised at how high property taxes are in Texas.
Although some states are higher.

Yes, taxes may be high, but overall the house is new and clean.

Are the above people writing from some other state ？
Texas has no income tax. I would much rather have no income tax than property tax, etc.
Property taxes are determined by city and district, not state. It also depends on the size of the property and the building coverage of the house. All districts with high property tax rates are upscale residential areas, and in the case of Texas, many of them are historic buildings. If you come from Japan, you would be surprised at how large the lots are and the houses are as big as castles.
The districts with low property taxes are where blacks, Hispanics, and other low-income people live as renters. If you are worried about property tax, you should buy a small house in Houston area or rent a house.

Also, if you have lived in the US long enough to consider buying a house, you know that property taxes here are used for sanitation and schooling in the area, so the areas with high property taxes are very clean, safe and the schools are all progressive.

I didn't know there was such a thing as Shiritori. That's interesting. Well, I'll join you.

I asked him what kind of pie is Raspi, and he laughed at me.

Apparently, there is a way to take the form designated by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare and have it filled out. If so, you don't have to go to a day lab. As for the type of test for coronavirus, it seems that the MHLW specifies it, so it would be a good idea to check and take that as well.

You have to install Cocoa and other apps when you enter the country. I was told that if you can't download the apps, you have to rent a new phone at your own expense, and that children over 13 years old also need a phone. I don't plan to move out of the province, but I don't want my location tracked.

The time you take the test is important.

The point is that the day of the week you travel is important.
If you travel on Saturday or Sunday, you may not get the test results in time.

When you are away from home for an extended period of time

What do you do when you are away from home for a long period of time due to a return or business trip? ？ Houses need to be ventilated, cleaned, and maintained from time to time. It seems that it is not good to leave your car unattended too much. Please let us know if you know of any useful services for such situations.

I am looking for someone to purchase a vintage fan from an antique store in Dallas and ship it to Japan on my behalf.
I asked the store to ship the fan to Japan, but they said they could not do so.
I really want to buy this fan, so I am waiting to hear from someone who can handle it.

We are thinking of paying around $ 100 for the person who responds.
The size of the fan would be about 58" tall and 30lb in weight.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

How much do you tip when you get takeout ？
Some people say it's not necessary, but in some places it's already included.

When you go to pick up a pizza or something that is essentially a delivery place, I feel like you should tip less because it's not delivery, what do you do ？?
