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.

The Canadian Department of Health has approved the new corona vaccine from Pfizer, a major US pharmaceutical company, second only to the United Kingdom in the world.
Early clinical trials do not include children, so immediate vaccinations are for people 16 years and older. The goal is to inoculate the majority of the population of 38 million by September 2021.
Announced that it will be available 249,000 times by the end of the year. After approval by the Ministry of Health, vaccination will start voluntarily from next week at the earliest.
Since the vaccine needs to be given twice, the first target is 124,500 people. It will take several months to reach all applicants.
Free vaccination against the new coronavirus in Canada. Priority will be given to residents and staff of elderly care facilities, people aged 80 and over who are prone to becoming severely ill, medical workers and essential businesses with high exposure risk, and indigenous people with weak immunity to infectious diseases.
Establishing an ultra-low temperature transportation route at minus 70 ° C and securing storage facilities are urgent issues.

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.

The number is one every year, but this year it is nine to commemorate the 35th anniversary of its introduction. It is launched on different routes every day.
It is part of the Toys for Tots, a volunteer activity where employees solicit donations of toys for children in low-income households.

The Museum of Anthropology (MOA) building at the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Vancouver has a modern design that combines glass and concrete, but has been refurbished to meet current seismic standards. The large hall will be dismantled and rebuilt with the latest seismic isolation technology.

The Anthropology Museum is famous for its exhibition of indigenous art. Designed by renowned Canadian architect Arthur Erickson, it was completed in 1976. From the large hall lined with totem poles, you can see the garden that resembles an indigenous village. The museum will be open during the renovation, but construction is scheduled to be completed in the summer of 2022.

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.
