この8月から娘がプリスクールに通います。
キンダーがないプリスクールなので今からプナホウやイオラニをキンダーから目指したいと思っています。

最近のプナホウ、イオラニへの合格を勝ち取った方々に
お伺いしたいのですが、どこの塾や家庭教師をつけていましたか?
皆さん仰る、高橋塾は口コミ見ると人数が多すぎて
マンツーマンだけど隣りには別の子がいて気が散るとか
高橋塾は昔は合格率高かったけど現在は…
みたいなのを見て、色々探しています。
おすすめや、高い合格率の塾や家庭教師を知っていたら教えていただきたいです。宜しくお願いします

I have almost no friends in Hawaii.

I have lived in Hawaii for over 10 years and now have only one friend. She is not Japanese, cute, very sociable and has many friends, and I only see her once or twice a year. I don't feel lonely because I have a husband and a child, but sometimes I feel lonely. I don't have many friends in Japan, and if I lived somewhere other than Hawaii, I might have lost touch with them.
I don't have many friends, so is it likely that I have a personality problem and say hurtful things to others without knowing it ??

I don't have any friends in Hawaii either. When my children were small, I had a lot of mom friends, but they were just mom friends, and once they started kinder, I stopped socializing with them. I also made friends at the Japanese language supplementary school, but I found the Japanese community to be a very difficult and troublesome place to be. They were mean to me, talked behind my back, invited me out for lunch once in a while ?, and when I was happy to go out with them, they were actually soliciting me for insurance or selling Fat Dan cosmetics. I don't know where they came from or why they live in Hawaii, because Hawaii is a place where people's identities are unknown.

I had a fight with my husband the other day and left home unexpectedly, but I laughed at myself because I had no friends and nowhere to go. I didn't know any restaurants that a middle-aged woman could go to alone, and I was afraid to walk outside alone after dark, so I went home before it got dark. Still, I don't really want to have friends in Hawaii.

I am serious, methodical, responsible, caring, and easily hurt, so making friends with people I don't know well that I meet in Hawaii is mildly stressful for me. I try to keep my relationships with people in Hawaii as shallow as possible and avoid deep relationships because I don't want to trust them as friends and then be betrayed and hurt again.

Thank you for your personal and sympathetic email and further comments !
Off topic, but today I saw a family living in Hawaii that I think is quite famous on YouTube. The Japanese wife was sparkling, and I was a little despairing because she looked like heaven and earth to me. I imagined that they were probably going to have an early dinner at a restaurant after that and watch the lantern floating ceremony. But I think he is quite a hard worker...he is always a wonderful person with his YouTube dinner menus.

I am a woman living in Hawaii.
US will have a huge gap between rich and poor, not just in Hawaii.
If you are a homeowner, you can exchange information about properties, but if you talk to renters
who are not, they will be turned off.
Whether single, married, or divorced.
I was also solicited by more than 10 different religions and network businesses.
I've been in Hawaii long enough to take it as a plus and wonder
what kind of invitation I'll get next time ! I'm trying to think of new discoveries . I can't
buy network business products unless someone introduces me to them. There are so many excellent products that I've come to believe that I don't have to be interested in the business to just be a loyal customer. With people who don't have cars, it's a burden to have to drop them off and pick them up for lunch or tea. I think it would make a better impression on everyone if you could take an Uber or Taxi yourself. Saving money is important, but I think it is also important to invest in yourself. If you ask someone to pick you up and drop you off, thank them. You will have a longer lasting relationship with people who have common sense.
If I could meet like-minded people, we could be friends. I think it is a good idea.

Unlike in Japan, everyone's status〔Temporal or Permanent(Permanent)》is different, and for the sake of future relationships
Everyone is used to asking each other about status when they first meet each other.

I myself have only two Japanese friends. I met them recently, too.

I have been involved with others, but I am not in contact with them now. I will not contact them in the future.

I don't like the Japanese community in Waikiki, so I don't go near them at all, and
I live mostly in English.

I had a clinic payment written down.

I have a question too, since you wrote about the clinic payment before.
I received the exact same bill, so I sent the check, and then it came again, so I sent it again thinking I didn't ? send it again.
The third time I got the bill, I panicked and went to the clinic and called billing and they said they would make a note of the record, but the bill kept coming
I didn't know what was going on and they also told me to pay with MyChart, so I paid.
Then I saw someone who had a similar problem, so I have a question. I paid it because I didn't want to be in a situation where I didn't pay, but I sent two checks before
What do you think will happen to them ? Do you think they will pay me again for the two checks I sent ? Can they ever come back to me ? It took me a long time to get to the clinic, though, since it was in December of 2023.
I guess I should have been more patient and waited for the first check.

I recently asked a question about clinic payments. I was debited right after that. Did you check to see if the check you used twice, NON-chan, was debited from your account ? If you've already paid and they debit more, maybe you should call the clinic ? I wonder if it is possible to get the check back that you sent
I too would like to know about other people's experiences.

Change of Address at DMV

Problem / Need advice

  • 2024/01/06 00:53

I am embarrassed to admit that this is a very rudimentary question, but I am looking for help.

I went to the DMV website to make the change, but there are two options for change of address
・ Driver's license or ID
・ Vehicle or Vessel
This is the same as the Vehicle or Vessel option. Driver's license or ID Vehicle or Vessel I was wondering if I should also select Vehicle or Vessel and change both ?
I was thinking in general that I could change the address on the DMV registration, so I am not sure, ?
Also, I will be changing my address for my car insurance later.

Just to give you some background,
we recently got married and are in the process of applying for a green card, but we don't plan on living together for a while due to our work schedules.
We consulted a lawyer and he told us to change our address registration for bank, DMV, car insurance, etc. to prepare for the green card interview.

By the way, my marriage partner does not have a car and driver's license, which sadly does not help much.
I would appreciate it if someone could answer my question when you have a chance. Thank you in advance.

Minor child enters Japan with U.S. passport

Does anyone have experience with a minor U.S. citizen child with Japanese parents who entered Japan with only a U.S. passport? I am asking this question in case I can't renew it in time.
I have checked past information and it seems that even minors can stay in Japan as a foreigner with an American passport, but I wanted to know about recent cases. We would appreciate your cooperation.

Many times in the past, minor children have entered Japan ・ short term with only a US passport.

After the pandemic, there was a time when you could only enter Japan with a Japanese passport ( Japanese nationality ) but
now you can enter normally with an American passport.
In fact, last summer, I entered Japan with an American passport to use the JR Pass, and had no problem.

The only difference between the two passports is whether you have to wait in line for Japanese nationals or foreigners ( or visitors ) at the immigration checkpoint at the airport.
The only other difference is that every time I go to the airport, I am told by the airport staff, "Next time, please enter the country with a Japanese passport. I don't know why, but I am usually told that every time.


For your information.

at immigration at the airport This is also a concern, and I would like my accompanying adult ( uncle, from his perspective We decided to have the foreign ( visitor ) queue with an American ) who is an uncle in his own right.
My siblings and I, another Japanese national with an unexpired Japanese passport, got in the Japanese line to enter Japan.

I feel much better now. Again, thank you very much for your helpful information.

If your child is smart and obeys the teacher, it will be advantageous to send him to Summer, but if he does not listen and is not very smart, it is better not to send him to Summer and, on the contrary, to hide his weaknesses. In summer, everything will be seen through.
You need to make a legitimate judgment of the child in general, not based on the greed of the parents or the opinion of the teacher who is being paid a monthly fee for the lessons.
Good luck 🌈

Today, a woman we know who lives in the same condo asked us to come and see her because she has been having trouble with electricity for several days, and when my husband went to see her, he found the room in poor condition, with two small dogs and feces and urine left inside the room amidst a garbage dump. She said that her phone and cell phone had stopped working, and it was assumed that she was behind in paying her utility bills and other bills. She used to be a very neat and tidy person, but I believe that she has become unable to take care of herself due to her age. We believe that she is inconvenienced by the lack of electricity, and we would like to know where we can contact in order to receive government assistance for the elderly. I believe that there is a terrible stench coming from the person in question and that he/she is in need of elder care support, etc.

#3 Dear nuiloamama

Sorry for the late reply. It took a while for this consultation topic to be reflected on Vivinavi after I posted it, and in the meantime, I had a lot of problems, so I called 911 and asked for advice. Then I found out that the police and fire department (救急) had a history of several cases where she had collapsed on the road and was taken to the hospital, and that they had tried to support her from the state, but she was adamantly refusing to do so. She trusts us and listens to us, so we got between her and the staff sent by the state, and today she finally convinced us to accept state support. We were having trouble knowing how far to intervene since they are not our relatives, but we were relieved that we managed to bridge the gap to the support group. I will keep the information you gave me in case something similar happens again in the future. Thank you very much.

Nice to meet you, I am currently trying to decide between Santa Monica City College or El Camino College. Do you have any other college recommendations besides that?
I don't care about my major since I have one at both, but I would like to know if anyone knows about the ease of living, around the schools, cost-wise, and the atmosphere of the students.
Also, I've heard that some schools are more lax and some are more strict ?.

In terms of security, Santa Monica is rather safer. Santa Monica has many homeless people, though. In terms of economics, El Camino College is better in terms of rent and food. Also, 20 years ago when I was a student, El Camino was very, very loose.

There aren't many students in this community, so I think you'd get fresher information if you DM people who go to either college on Instagram or FB and ask them directly.
In any case, good luck with your new beginning.

If you really want to improve your "English conversation" skills, come to San Fernando Valley where there are very few Japanese people.

I don't know if there is a kind of college called "Comic College" here, but

there are some non-UC State Colleges in this valley.

There is also a college near my house called California State University, Northridge.
