Due to strict regulations, restaurants can only take out, and there is a stay home ordinance in Los Angeles. Over the weekend, I went a little further to explore the home of Jennifer, the girlfriend of Marty, one of the nostalgic movie back-to-the-future film locations 40 minutes northeast of downtown Los Angeles. It was used in Part 3 when Marty, who returned to the present day from 1885, came to see Jennifer taking a nap on the white bench on the balcony on the left side of the house in the form of a Western cowboy.
Although it is now a private residence, the color of the outer wall of the house and the key point benches remain as they are, and I feel the love of the movie by the current residents.
It is supported by such love that you can still see the location.
Thank you.

<Indoor dining, a restaurant in New York City, will be banned again from December 14th (Monday)>

New York
So far, the corona positive rate has been around 1%.
I've miraculously suppressed it with a low number
(Fourth lowest among the 50 states in the United States)

Maybe because there are more opportunities for people to get together during the holiday season
I came here and it has risen to 4.98% (as of 12/11)

Finally, from 12/14 (Monday)

Eating and drinking in restaurants in New York City
It has been banned.

It will be closed again in just two and a half months after being approved on September 30th.

* Outdoor dining (outdoor table) and takeout are still okay, but

It's a shame because I had a beautiful Christmas decoration inside the store.

There are many nice restaurants in NY, so I hope you can survive.

■ New York City conducts 95,000 PCR tests a day

It's been 40 years since John Lennon was shot dead in front of his home in Manhattan, NY.

Even during the spread of corona infection, only on this day
From morning till midnight, many people gathered in memory,

Strawberry Fields in Central Park was more impressive than usual.

I have summarized the impression in a short video, so please have a look ↓

Although it has been reported in Japan, the home waiting order was enforced again from November 27th in California, where I live. The following is an excerpt from the Los Angeles Consulate article.
On the 27th, the Los Angeles County Public Health Service in California issued an emergency order (Safer at) to refrain from going out unnecessarily as the average number of people infected with the new coronavirus in the county exceeded 4,500 over the past five days. Home Order) has been issued. This order applies from Monday, November 30th to Sunday, December 20th, and violations may result in penalties according to the decisions of each county.

This is Naomi Elephant Tour.
We are pleased to inform you that immigration documents to be submitted by customers arriving at LAX related to Corona are now required.
This rule was issued on November 27/2020.

It is a document to the effect that you will comply with the rules of Los Angeles when you enter the country. It seems that customers can apply in advance from the website or use their mobile phones after arriving in Los Angeles.
All you need is a simple phone number, name, email address, etc.
I think it would be nice to let people from Japan know in advance.
However, as the laws and regulations change frequently, changes may occur.
You will not forget it because the staff will ask you when you enter Japan, but be careful as the fine is $ 500.
https://travel.lacity.o…
If you read the beginning of the document, you can enter the country for essential travelers such as study, work and medical care.
However, out-of-state and international migrants, including residents, need to be quarantined for 14 days.
We are currently unable to accept visits such as travel and outdoor recreation.
It may be time to put up with it to stop the infection around the world.

Access to Buena Vista Street in California Adventure Park has explored Disneyland Resort (Anaheim), which opened on November 19/2020. Only the dining and shopping area is open and no rides are driven. Admission is free as it is released as an extension of Downtown Disney. This time is Sunday, the last day of Thanksgiving. I went first in the morning, but I didn't line up until the entrance. If you want to try it, we recommend you to have an early time.
Despite going quite early, there were already lines in the park and at Downtown Disney's souvenir shops.
Cathay Circle Restaurant is already full of reservations until January.
Although the infection was spreading, it was crowded with the love of local Disney. A lot of Christmas trees are displayed and the holiday feeling is perfect. I have enjoyed a walk safely while keeping the distance from other people, the mask, and the hand washing.
At the same time, even more stringent corona measures have been implemented in California from November 30th today.
Especially in Los Angeles, outdoor eating and drinking outside the store is also prohibited.
In the same California, Orange County, with Anaheim, continues to eat and drink outdoors. The actual situation is that even in the same state, there are variations depending on the municipality.
In any case, I would like you to continue to do your best until the park is fully released.

Today is the last day of the four consecutive holidays.
The guide who returned from the two-day tour sent me a photo of Zion National Park and Horseshoe Bend that I visited on this tour, so I will post it.
As you can see, the weather was good and the customers were satisfied.
In the first place, the number of visitors to the tourist destinations of the Grand Circle decreases due to the cold in winter, but as the number of people infected with corona in the United States does not decrease easily, many states restrict movement, so even during consecutive holidays. Regardless, it felt quiet everywhere.
In a sense, it would be convenient to be under this corona because there aren't many people around.

America is currently in the middle of Thanksgiving holidays.
While no tourists from Japan can be expected yet, customers living in the United States took the tour during this consecutive holiday. One of them participated in a 3-day course to stay in Monument Valley.
I have received a photo of today's Monument Valley from a guide on site, so I will post it.

Monument Valley is still not available for sightseeing in the park. Although I couldn't take part in the popular jeep tour, I stayed at "Goulding's Lodge" where I could see the view of Monument Valley from my room, and the local weather was good and the guests were very satisfied.

Today 11/18 is Disneyland's Mickey Mouse and Minnie's birthday!
It seems that ceremonies are being held in various places, but the Disney Resort park in Anaheim is still closed.
Meanwhile, measures to strengthen infection prevention were announced in California.
Effective Friday, November 20th https://covid19.lacount…

The average of COVID-19 cases over the last 7 days has almost doubled since the beginning of November, and hospitalizations have increased to well over an average of about 900 to 1,000 per day over the same period.
• For non-essential businesses that are allowed to operate indoors, such as retail stores, offices, and personal care services, occupancy is limited to 25% of maximum capacity.
• The number of patrons in outdoor restaurants, breweries and wineries is limited to 50% of the maximum outdoor capacity.
• Services at personal care facilities are available only to customers who are wearing face covers by staff wearing face covers. Facials and shavings are not allowed.
If the average number of cases in the county for 5 days is more than 4,500 or the number of hospitalizations exceeds 2,000 per day, the following restrictions will be added. Curfew will begin until 10 pm and 6 am, and restaurants will be banned from eating and drinking outdoors again.
I hope that the measures at the water's edge will be successful.

Disney will open Buena Vista Street from 11/19/2020.
Information on the spread of COVI19 has been reported around the world.
In California, USA, Governor Newsom announced a two-week voluntary quarantine for visitors from outside the state. There are no fines, but they convey the severity of the situation. By the way, even before Independence Day, the beach was strictly prohibited from entering, so I think it is a preventive measure in anticipation of the coming holiday season.
Even if you can't eat or drink in-store at all in Los Angeles, you can usually eat and drink in-store in San Diego County in the same state of California, and the rules are different for each county. Los Angeles continues to be under strict rules, so it's likely that other counties will raise regulations.
In such a lonely situation, we received a notice that Disneyland will open Buena Vista Street, which is an area where you can eat and shop in California Adventure, from November 19/2020 on November 5/2020.
https://disneyland.disn…
It's not the opening of the park, but an extension of downtown Disney in the shopping area, but as a Disney fan, it's exciting to think that you can get closer to the garden.
The following shops can be enjoyed in the Buena Vista area.
Carthay Circle Lounge --Alfresco Dining> Classic American dining. It is a high-grade restaurant where you can enjoy steak and wine.
Fiddler, Fifer & Practical Cafe > Delicious American hamburger shop
Smokejumpers Grill
This shop boasts plump and crispy hot dogs.
Award Wieners Elias & Co.> A souvenir shop full of Disney goods.
Trolley Treats> A sweets specialty store with lots of American candies and treats.
I hope it will open safely on the 19th.

<11/16 NY Harlem Holiday Lights Turned on>

Annual "Harlem Holiday Lights" lighting ceremony at 125th Street, downtown Harlem,

From now on until New Year's Eve
The center of Harlem is brilliantly colored.


This year, due to the influence of the corona pandemic,
Various events have been canceled

Due to the turmoil in the US presidential election
Fifth Avenue in NY is still covered with glass shop windows, and some stores have closed.

I'm relieved to have such an "unchangeable daily life".


Speaking of everyday life that does not change
On Saturday, November 14th, in front of Rockefeller Center on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan,
This year too, a huge 22-meter Christmas tree has arrived.

From now on, it will be decorated with more than 50,000 LED lights.
When a Swarovski star rides on the top,

Finally, Wednesday, December 2nd, NY time from 7:00 to 9:00 pm,
"NY Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony!" Reported in World News

I'm looking forward to the amazing performance of a gorgeous star every year.
Many people line up in NY in the midwinter from about 3 pm,

This year, in order to avoid "denseness", there was no audience and only TV broadcasting was available.

Japan time will be 9am-11am on Thursday, December 3rd.
I hope you can find it on the internet and see it in Japan.

<Let's walk together in NY Harlem, a city full of music>

The US presidential election in Corona, which attracted the world's attention,
Finally calm down,

No worried riots or looting so far

The plywood that all New York stores laid out in the glass shop windows has also begun to be removed.

Immediately before the announcement, I
Participated in the Japanese news program "Saturday Station" from New York with Zoom
I talked about the presidential election.


Harlem is very calm now.


I have compiled a video of the "now" harem that is not reported in the news, so

Please take a look as if you were walking with me ↓
