Nomad Insights
Public.icon
@0xtkgshn: nomad is quite difficult. For example, even if you are a Japanese national and register for Global Entry via the Japanese embassy for a moment, it will be very easy to enter and leave the country if you do it at that time, or if you have contracted Google Fi and CLEAR while in the United States, it will be much easier, or if you use AMEX cards, you can transfer Credit Score to US Amex...
If you plan to stay for more than 3 months, I think there is an option to buy a used Aeron Chair or something like that in that place. If you choose one with a high resale value, you can live quite comfortably.
Is this still the same opinion now? tkgshn.icon*3
Displays are relatively easy to drop in price compared to chairs, so I'd like to bring them if possible, but...
Nreal AIr is good enough
Since entering high school in 2018, I have moved from Osaka to Kagawa to Osaka to Shibuya Higashi to Ebisu to Shibuya Higashi to Meguro to Osaka to Kyoto to New York, and my My Number Card address field has reached its limit and I had to update it. I want to summarize the knowledge of nomads.
Basic ID-related information
If you have a My Number Card, it is easy to transfer your resident registration if you are in Japan.
Basically, it is recommended to keep it up to date so that you can easily receive voting, coronavirus vaccine, and other social services.
In New York, you can obtain Banks in the United States to serve as your ID instead of a passport.

If you want to open a US bank account while in Japan, you can go through ⏳ Union Bank can be opened by Japanese people through Mitsubishi UFJ.
However, if you want to create one after coming to the United States, I recommend bank of America.
If you have the necessary documents, you can open an account on the day of your appointment.
This is faster and recommended.
Most importantly, if you are a student, you have a Students Card and they will do various things for you during orientation, so you can rely on that.
Internet access is available during Pacific flights, but not on NY subway; whether capitalism can solve this "technically feasible" issue is another matter

Creating a Dollar-Denominated Credit Card
Getting a good deal as a foreign student, losing out as a foreign student also describes credit card details.
However, most require SSN (this may be possible to apply for if you are F-1).
B-1 & under 21 may not be able to get a credit card in principle.?
Mobile phone line
During my stay in Japan, I used Rakuten Mobile, and while in the United States, I contracted with T-Mobile Prepaid. When I was in Colombia, I used Google Fi. However, the speed is so slow that it is barely usable, so if you don't use it frequently, it may be faster to buy a local SIM card every time you visit the country. GoogleFi cannot be activated outside the US, so be careful. Conclusion: Summary of overseas SIM
Address Related
Regarding corporations, if the address of the officers changes, the corporation has to update it, but it is not a high priority. If you can use the VC's address, it is basically better because it is troublesome to include family homes in documents.
When you move, don't forget to update your address with e-Tenkyu. Also, update the address of services like Amazon and Uber Eats. If you forget to do this, they may be forwarded to another address.
Things to Consider
Basically, you need to reduce the number of items you bring. The idea is to move with one backpack and one suitcase, so it is important to dispose of your items before the move.
If you plan to stay for more than three months, it is recommended that you follow the above steps. For example, if you plan to stay longer, buy an Aeron Chair or monitor, sell it or transfer it before you leave, and obtain a new one at your next destination. It is generally a good idea to buy things with resale value.
For things you use every day, it is recommended to follow the rule, revealing plans too early leads to loss of enthusiasm. Personally, I use Apple products and Anker products for this reason.
Clothing
Clothing is basically bulky. Since the clothing you need changes depending on the season or your location, you cannot simply carry everything with you. Here are some practices that I find effective:
- You only need one down coat. I think it's okay to use something that can withstand up to about -10°C.
- 2023/2/3 Comment: But the versatility decreases. tkgshn.icon*2
- As I mentioned in Retrospective on luggage on the last day in London on March 11, 2023, Cerium Hoody is good.
- 2023/2/21: ☑️ Consider the luggage when leaving New York I decided not to bring down coat.
There seem to be stores all over the world, so I think they will provide maintenance if you have any trouble.
This is one of the things I'm glad I bought in 2022 tkgshn.icon*2
I think it's okay to take home any Swag you get at conferences or events if you have extra space in your luggage.

You can give them to people who didn't attend the event, or just keep them in case you don't have anything to wear and need something to wear.
Give them away if you can.
Store clothes in compression bags to save space.
Shoes:
For rain, mud, and snow: I didn't really feel the need for this when I was in Japan, but since moving to NY this year and experiencing extreme cold, I bought AERIOS AR MID GTX.]
[Changed to Arc'teryx AERIOS FL 2 GTX SHOE MEN'S on 2023/3/11 Previous companies, interviews and appearances related to oneself.icon]

Since it's Gore-Tex, it's waterproof and can handle snow. I think there's no place where this won't work. The downside is that it feels like "boots," and if you're going outside, you definitely need these, but I feel like it's too much to wear them just to go a little way.
On 2022/12/15: It rained a lot, but there was no problem at all. I wore this with Storm Cruiser Jacket and Veilance cap and had no problem at all.

This is also solved with Arc'teryx AERIOS FL 2 GTX SHOE MEN'S.
I'm using Nike Air VaporMax 2020 FK.
I'm still not sure what to do.

But Fractals are cooler tkgshn.icon*2.
However, I learned the advantages of having shoes that are waterproof and somewhat tech shoes, so I might go for Arc'teryx AERIOS FL 2 GTX SHOE MEN'S next time.

Past Sneakers and Reviews
You definitely need sandals in the summer.

These are great because they don't slip and you can run in them if you need to. I'll be okay with these all summer.
I bought SUBU which is like a down jacket for your feet.
https://gyazo.com/6939f6210419b531323d0054d6ef8c77
It might be good.
Especially since the houses in America right now don't require you to take off your shoes, sandals are necessary.
It's okay even if you go out a little bit with this.
Not very versatile.
Traveling clothes
@0xCommune: Back to NYC!!

In other words, it's the outfit for when you're traveling by plane.
I wonder what kind of shoes to wear, sandals or sneakers might be good.
Even if the weather is bad and there is luggage, I think I'll use Uber between the base and the airport.Previous companies, interviews and appearances related to oneself.icon

This is heavy and not versatile.

I used to use ACG, but I stopped using it in Retrospective on luggage on the last day in London on March 11, 2023.

I think I'll keep it for now.
