I'm looking to potentially buy this red Lexus IS 500 and it has a black roof wrap. I don't know the first thing about wraps so I'm hoping to get some knowledge before going to see the car. How long does it last for, what kind of material is this, and any other helpful information.
My wife and I visited Japan May 2025 and we will be coming back this November 14th-28th.Our first trip was easy to plan since we did the golden route of Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, and Nara. I am having a hard time choosing where to go this time around (so many options for cities to visit).
We will be flying into HND and spending the first 3 days and last 3 days in Tokyo to just see more of it and possibly do day trips to areas near Tokyo (Yokohama, Shinagawa, Kamakura, ect.) I feel confident that I can plan that.
What I need help with is deciding what other cities to visit. We don't want to change hotels too many times so I'm thinking of visiting 2-3 other cities exploring them and doing a day trip or two from each.
We will save Kyushu for another trip since that's too far away from Tokyo. I also read that November isn't the best month to visit Hokkaido. From my research I am considering Kawaguchiko, Nagano, Takayama, Kanazawa. My initial plan was Nagano and then Kanazawa, but I'm seeing that it rains a lot in Kanazawa in November so that soured that idea.
I am open to hearing your thoughts especially for November on 2-3 other cities to visit after 3 days in Tokyo.
I will be visiting Switzerland May 16th for a week. I know it's early but I was looking at the forecast where I'll be staying in Grindelwald, and it says it will be 0°C/32°F and snowy. Is this normal for May in this area? When doing my research I concluded that May would feel like spring which is why I chose it. My other thought is maybe the weather is for the higher elevation areas and in the village it shouldn't be too bad. My wife and I were hoping to do walking trails and just explore different villages. Should we change our plans if it will truly be cold and snowy?
Thanks for any advice.
We are thinking of making an offer on a house but have concerns about water damage. The pictures of the wall crack are due to moisture according to the sellers agent when we saw him at the open house. The window directly above the crack doesn't close properly. The rest of the pictures are in the basement. Can someone with more knowledge let me know how big of a deal this is? I'm wondering if it's even worth making an offer. We are in a competitive market in the Midwest and this house will still go for over asking even with these issues.
