I am usually a Los Angeles vivinavigator.
I and people I know use private sales and real estate ・ information boards, but there is not a lot of information here in Portland, and I was wondering if you could post on this board to learn more about Portland. My family is planning to visit Portland in the near future and I would like to know a lot about it.
I would enjoy it if you could post any information about deals, security, etc., like you did with the Portland Souvenirs topic, etc. that was posted before.
Thank you very much.

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.

Hi, I am on a short trip to Portland.
After Portland, I am going to see my friend who lives in CA, and I am wondering what kind of souvenirs I should bring.

What kind of souvenirs do you bring with you when you go back home or when you meet your American friends in other states? Please tell us about your favorite souvenirs.

What a !, 99 cent, Trader Joe's wine carrying bag and Marshalls large shopping bags (, sometimes very cute ), are appreciated, and every time I am asked, "What did you bring this time ??" I use the cute green wine bag as a regular shopping bag by cutting off the inside divider. When I put it flat in the bag, it is not a luggage at all, so I bring about 10 of them back home.

Noguchi-san, you are using Trejo wine carrying bags and Marshalls large shopping bags. ! I always bring food as souvenirs, so this was an eye-opener for me.

As you say, it is not bulky, so it is less of a burden for the person who carries it, and I heard that in Japan, plastic bags are being charged for and more people are carrying bags, so for the recipient, it is not only cute but also a useful souvenir. There is a Trejo near me, so I will look for it as soon as possible.
Thank you for sharing your idea :)

I see that the U.S. has come to have more than a majority of people vaccinated, with the exception of a few areas.
It was interesting to hear that opinions on vaccines are divided among Red States and Blue States.

I only hope that vaccines will spread in Japan soon.

I have seen articles on Zoom and online meeting etiquette and have compiled them here.

・ 5 ~ Log in 10 minutes before and test your mic and speakers.
・ Turn on the camera as much as possible. Look towards the camera.
・ Mute when not talking.
・ When you are finished speaking, say something like, "That's all.
・ Do not put distracting objects in the background.
・ Keep pets out of the meeting.
・ Say no if you are away from the camera for an extended period of time.
・ Watch out for backlighting.
・ Practice in advance if you are going to share the screen or play video or music.
・ Rehearse if you are doing a live stream.
・ Wear earphones to avoid feedback.
・ Display a clear name.
・ Mute when coughing or drinking water during meetings.

I heard that online meetings should not be nodded off too much. It was surprising.

So there are a lot of dog lovers in Portland.
I had never been particularly aware of this because it had become so commonplace.
