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 living 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.

With the waterfront measures related to mutants, the Netherlands now has to wait in designated accommodations after returning home, too!

The National Museum of Amsterdam is a famous tourist attraction. Any place may be worth visiting if it is a national museum or art museum. The Central Station also has beautiful red bricks, and it is understandable that it was modeled after Tokyo Station.

I also liked Galerie St. Cyprien. The streets are so beautiful that even if you are not in a "famous" place, you will want to take pictures.

カリフォルニア州シリコンバレーにて、スウェーデン人の妻と19ヶ月になる娘との毎日をアップしてます。
アメリカでの子育てに関してや、うちのように子供をトライリンガルにしようとしてる家庭であるとか、留学・海外生活全般に置いて何か発信することができればなぁと、またそんなトピックでほかの方々からの質問に回答する場となればなどと漠然と考えて始めてみました。

My mother has dementia. It’s quite severe, and she can’t remember anything for even a minute.
I’m posting this in the hope that anyone with experience living with a mother who has dementia might be able to offer advice or insights. Thank you in advance.

Sunshine,

That friend of yours is a wonderful person. I wonder if I could do something like that...

In our household, it’s the other way around—I’m starting to lose my mind, and sometimes I end up being a burden to my wife.

I “forget” things every now and then, and my wife—who’s a feisty one—gives me a real earful, but

since there’s nothing I can do about it, she puts up with it. She’s a great wife.

友人の奥様が認知症になった時はまだ良い薬がありませんでしたが、今は薬もあるので病院で検査すれば、良い薬を処方して貰えるので進行を大分遅らせる事が出来るはずです。

日本だと高額医療補助があるので金銭的に助かりますが、アメリカの保険がどの程度カバーしてもらえるのか分かりません。
製薬会社の中には、利益をほとんど開発費に投じて作った薬もあるので、高額な物もあります。

友人の息子さん二人が医者で、家族の支えで金銭的には余裕がありました。
アメリカの自己破産の一番の原因は医療費なので、どうにもならない時は自分は日本国籍なので帰国する事も考えています。
