＞ Can't we get a permit from the City or call an inspector

Wouldn't the contractor do these on our behalf?

The City's electrical company seems to be "Edison", but what about the City of LA electrical department?

Usually an electrician's license （ C-10 ) or a construction license （ B-? ). Permits are applied for by visiting the City Hall, not the electric company.
House owners can also apply, but without connections, they will have to wait much longer because they will not be given priority in the paperwork. （ Connections are things like making a large donation to the police or fire department, or being friends with an alderman. In the case of an electrical panel upgrade, the application is completed at City Hall, the electrical work is completed, and after the inspector is called and passes, the electric company is contacted to have the wires installed and the meter installed.

100A at 120V would be 12KW, but I think you have the amperage unit wrong ？ Of course, if you use 200A, it would be 24KW at 120V.

P.S. I'm not sure if you can get it through the official U.S. government website.
Come to think of it, I think it's $ 21 if you go through the official US government website. 8690 yen is also a vendor fee somewhere ？
Well, if you've already paid and got it successfully, just be careful next time.
The following is from the U.S. Embassy website.
All Visa Waiver Programs （ VWP ） Travelers must pay a $21 application fee when applying for ESTA. The fee can be paid by credit card through the ESTA application website.
Note ： Beware of counterfeit websites where third parties request unauthorized information or application fees. These businesses and websites are in no way affiliated with the U.S. government.

Not to answer your question, but my parents are coming to the U.S. soon and ESTA is something that all people coming from Japan （ tourism ） must apply for ？ or is there something else I should know about?

Is a new or used car better ？?

I heard that a new car is less expensive to buy a car in Hawaii. Is it actually better to buy a used car ？ or maintenance costs after purchase?
Like where to buy a car. I honestly don't even know what is better, so please tell me.

In my case,
I bought a Note 2014 from Hertz with about 2 years old, 21,000 miles on the rental car.
It was just under $16,000 including warranty, etc.

Maintenance ・ Repairs are basically done at a Nissan dealer.
Repairs large and small have come in so far. Oil changes, tire changes, batteries, of course, but also suspension parts replacement, paint baldness repair, etc. In about 8 years, I have spent $8,000.

Insurance is about $700 a year with StateFarm, and taxes and inspection are about $300, or $1,000 a year.

Finally, gasoline is $70 per month for a Town to Kaneohe commute.

So
initial investment $16,000 and running costs for the next 8 years （ not including gas ） are about the same.

For reference.

Toyotas are very popular in Hawaii.

A friend of mine drove a Toyota for 15 years and sold it for a quarter of the price he paid for a new one.

After the Corona, rental cars were unusually expensive and there may have been a lot of demand.

If you drive it nicely （ No smoker, No pets ) Considering that you can sell it for a good price, I think leasing it is a waste.

Your opinions are helpful.
You're right. Cars are hit or miss. Japanese cars are hard to break and easy to sell. That's why they are popular.

If you are planning to sell your car, Toyota is the best choice. Mileage is not so important unlike in Japan.

If the goal is to sell the car later, I think Toyota is the best choice, whether it is a new or used car. The Honda Odyssey was bought by a cab company, and with its own maintenance, it has been revived and is in demand in its own right. I feel like my car is a bit like a horse. By the way, the old Japanese Honda scooters like the Rattata and Tact still cost buyers about $3000 $ over here because they have more horsepower and longer life than a 50cc moped with a 95cc engine upgrade.

Back in the old days when there was a Marukai in Ward,
does anyone remember the tri-fold mattresses sold at Long's, Donki, etc.
they are sponge mattresses that wear out quickly
have you seen them sold at Long's anywhere these days?
I have a coupon and would like to buy it at Long's, but if you have any information about where you saw it, please let me know so I can head there as soon as possible.

Do you sell swimsuits in Honolulu that are comfortable for Japanese people to wear ？?

I'm sorry for the stupid question. I am planning to stay in Honolulu for a trip, but I don't know if I will need a swimsuit （ until I get there ）, so I am wondering if I should buy one in Japan or get one when I need it locally.

Is it easy to find Japanese （ padded ）, size and price （ 100 ＄ or less ） ？

Please let me know if you have any recommendations for stores

There are places that sell them. But when my friend came here, she wanted to get it locally. First of all, it's hard to find a favorite. Basically, they are all unpadded. There are so many different sizes and designs, so you will waste a lot of time.
I think Japan is definitely the best place to go because it's summer and there are so many different kinds and they are cheap. I will recommend it to my friends next time. I will recommend it to my friends from now on.

Please let me know if you have recently been in the process of renewing your green card and it expired and you have successfully returned from an overseas trip from the US without a new card yet, or if you know more about this.
I went through the green card renewal process this past January and also went to get my fingerprints taken. My original card has already expired.
I think I can go to Japan, but will I be able to come back to Hawaii without any problem? Do I need to do anything to leave the US ？
I need to buy a plane ticket next week, so if someone could give me the right information, that would be very helpful. Thank you in advance.

As for me,
I renewed my GC in December 2022.
I went to Japan in May of this year and did not receive my new card at that time, so I inquired and received a letter!
It stated that the letter would be valid for one year after the GC expired.

but it took about 30 minutes at immigration when I arrived in Hawaii.

The letter from immigration is
I-797.

I also received a letter. Letter of application. Basically, if you have that, you should be fine. I guess you can't come back without the letter ？
or come back as a traveler ？
I guess you should check with immigration.

I went to Japan during renewal. You said you don't have any kind of certificate, but do you have the I-797 （ extension letter ） sent by USCIS after renewal ？ with which you can travel outside the US? You must carry the original I-797 with you when you travel out of the country, along with your expired green card. Please note that photocopies are not acceptable.
