Tokyo to Los Angeles: the time difference

Los Angeles is about 17 hours behind Tokyo, so 8 pm in Los Angeles is roughly 1 pm in Tokyo. The gap shifts by an hour for part of the year when the clocks change.

With so many hours between you, spontaneous calls are rare. Schedule the reveal for a weekend morning on one side and an evening on the other.

What a parcel across the border costs you

A parcel from Tokyo to Los Angeles crosses a border, so allow one to three weeks and check customs rules for food, liquids and anything with a battery. A digital gift has none of that.

Buying for your fiancé

Engaged couples are busy with plans, so a gift that gives him a break is welcome. A quiet evening, a keepsake or a surprise can mean more than a large item.

Add a note about what you are looking forward to.

If your anniversary is tomorrow

Gift cards, flowers and a personalized game can be arranged online the same day. An oin game is usually emailed within an hour of payment. Pair one with a handwritten note and he still has something to open.

Traditional gift lists by year, paper, cotton, leather and so on, can give you a direction if you like rules. Break them if you have a better idea.

Opening it together on a call

Pick a slot when you are both free, send the link and stay on the call while he plays. The quiz makes a good conversation, because only the two of you know the answers.

The final level you can play today is set in Almaty, Kazakhstan; a final level in New York or Tokyo is coming soon.
