When I returned to Japan 2 years ago, I bought a Japanese sim card that I could use all the time, and I used it in my American iPhone
Then I bought a new American iPhone, but the times have changed and you can't put a sim card in it anymore.
I'm going back to Japan in May, so I'm doing a lot of research and I'm getting confused about E sim cards 😅

In Japan, I put my American iPhone in Airplane mode and use it in the U.S. In Japan, I plan to use my iPhone in Airplane mode and use Wi-Fi. And I wonder if it is possible to use the LINE app on my old iPhone with the account I use in the US. Two years ago, I just switched to a Japanese sim card on my American iPhone and LINE was connected normally.

If anyone knows the best way to use two iPhones in this environment, please let me know.
Please do.

Sim Card & E I don't know much about Simi cards, but in our case, we have three iPhones ( that we usually use in the US. I use LINE installed on my iPhones ) when I go back to Japan by connecting to free public Wifi or Wifi at the hotel or other places where I stay. Also, when my kids went to Japan last year with some friends, they rented a pocket Wifi at the airport ( for about 300 yen per day ? ) and used it when they needed to connect to it during their stay. Unfortunately, I can't give you advice on that since it was a long time ago when I tried to swap Sim cards like Phone did, but I hope others can give you some good advice.

I think E sim is the easiest. If you are not confident about setting it up yourself, there are counters at the airport where you can have it installed.

Thanks for your kind share! Thank you very much for your kind share. I used to use my phone in the same way without any problem, but when I came back to Japan 2 years ago, I bought a Japanese Sim card with a Japanese phone number on it, so I would like to use it if possible.
I'm not sure if the same account can be used on two iPhones, even if the iPhone is set to Airplane mode and the LINE app is used in the U.S. The world has become too convenient for my brain to keep up.

Thank you for your reply !
If things get complicated, I'd like to use E sim, but I don't want to waste the E sim for Japan that I already purchased.

I have the same account on my ipad, and I am also using the same account on my Galaxy tablet. However, when I logged on to my Galaxy tablet the other day with the account I use on my iPhone, the line on my iPhone stopped connecting to my account on my iPhone, saying that it had been transferred to another device and was no longer available. After deleting the line on my galaxy, I can use it again on my i phone, but my past talk history is gone. I can set up a backup of my talk history in the settings of the line, so I set up a backup just in case.

Is there anyone in a similar situation ?
・ Don't apologize even if you are at fault, blame the other person
・ All responsibility lies with your partner
・ You may be good but your partner should not do the same
(I When I get angry, they tell me to control my feelings and not to get angry no matter what. But it's okay for my partner to be angry. Because I'm not able to do it.)

I could go on and on counting. I know there are trolls and messages telling me to break up with them, but I'd love to hear real life experiences from people in similar situations.

I have children. Fortunately, my marriage is going well.

I don't think I'd put love first when there are children, either.
However, I wrote this because I thought that forcing a couple to stay together when they are not getting along is bad for the children's psyche after hearing my friend's story.

When I was in middle school, there was talk of my parents divorcing because of my father's infidelity.
My mother decided not to divorce my children until they were grown up, not wanting them to be poor. My mother, who worked hard to raise my children, even though my father still pushed her around, is still someone I truly admire. I have come full circle and now take care of my sick father. I think it's not bad to go through rough times. Maybe it's old-fashioned, but there are good times and bad times. I thought that only couples who choose not to separate can know what the future holds for the rest of their marriage.

I have a very sweet Asian boyfriend, but I get the impression that he is not thinking about our future or becoming a family. I am not sure if I want to marry him or not due to our different values. I am feeling impatient because of my age since I am not young, but it is also very difficult to meet Japanese people here in America. I am not sure if I can go out with him. I am not sure if it is safe to go out with a Japanese person. Has anyone else experienced something similar?

Hello.
If you are not sure, you should check with him or ?
if you can't consider yourself married to him,
you should leave him immediately.

Do you want to go back to being friends?
You don't want male friends ?

There are many ideas.

You may not decide on one partner who is not married

Poly should be with other Poly's because it is less cheat

If you trust your instincts and act on them, you won't regret it.

My child has started attending a public middle school in Honolulu. I am honestly concerned about his academic ability as it does not seem that he will have homework every day like he did at Elementary. I am looking for a school that supports schoolwork like a Japanese tutoring school. I would prefer a place where I can go face-to-face if possible, but online is also fine. If you have any recommendations, please let me know.

I am planning to go see the Nagaoka Fireworks this weekend.
I know it's best to watch from Waikiki, but I'm worried about traffic restrictions, parking, etc. since I'm coming from Eva.
Is there a place where we can park our car and enjoy the fireworks even if it is a little far away ?
I can't go early because of my child, so if I want to see them in Waikiki, should I park somewhere far away ( downtown or ? ) and take a bus? ? I guess.

It's a bit far, but
you can see it from the KCC parking lot.
Take exit 6, turn right at the end of the street, and go straight to the parking lot.

It is not as powerful as the one in Waikiki, but it is impressive.

It's almost spring break and my family and I are planning to travel to Sydney and the Gold Coast.
But I have a phobia of airplanes and even a slight tremor makes me cry … I am looking forward to the trip because I heard that the Oceania area is very bumpy, but I am more scared than that …
I have heard that the Honolulu line is often bumpy, but I have never been that afraid of it.
I would appreciate it if you could give me some advice on how to ease my fear, whether you have a phobia of flying or you fly a lot and don't feel scared at all when the plane shakes. I wonder why there is no one around me who is scared. I wonder if it is safe even if it shakes a lot.
I have a phobia of airplanes, but I still take airplanes.

I have heard that the probability of an airplane crash is lower than that of a car accident, and even if the plane shakes, there are announcements saying that the plane is flying through the air currents and that it will shake, but that it will be okay, so I don't worry about it. I think the key is to relax and let the shaking take control of your body. You feel the same way when you ride in a car on a rickety road, don't you? When an airplane takes off, it is less stressful on your body if you are relaxed.

relax and don't be rigid ! same as a rickety road !
I know. I read somewhere that the chances of a plane crashing are lower than winning the lottery, almost zero.
There are so many planes flying a day that you can't even count them.
Flight attendants and pilots would not take such a risky job, would they?

I had a similar experience when I donated blood two or so years ago, and I still have some numbness in my arm.

The person taking the blood at that time forced the needle in very hard and it hurt a lot. And I think it took longer than usual.
I remember feeling numbness after a few days, but I waited, thinking it would go away. But in the end, it has not healed.
Now there is no way to prove it, so I have no choice, but if I could have, I would have checked with the person in charge and verified the facts.

In Mercury's case, since she has only just woken up, I think it would be a good idea ? to see the doctor as soon as possible or to confirm the facts at the time of blood collection if possible, based on my experience.

Anyway, I think the best scenario is to get back to normal, and I wish you a speedy recovery.

Nice to meet you. Hello.

I myself have lived without a dentist for years, but I finally saw a dentist recently because of discomfort in my gum nerve.

I started with a deep cleaning first though.

It was like gouging the root of the tooth, but I didn't feel any pain.

Sometimes the scaler would sting a little.

I didn't feel any pain after the cleaning, and my teeth felt clean, so I was personally glad I did it.

Just for reference.

I recently had a deep cleaning of my teeth for the first time in my life. I had anesthesia and did a great gouging and went all the way down to the inside of my gums. My gums were sore for a few days afterwards. But then I noticed that the pain was gone. I don't have alveolar pyorrhea, but I'm getting old and have a dry mouth, so I've gone from not even having tartar on my teeth to having to have deep cleanings. Come to think of it, I haven't had a cleaning in the last two years.

I'd love to do it, but I can't do it with insurance because I don't need it, so I only do maintenance cleanings. If it bleeds, it sounds like dirt buildup and inflammation or something like that.

I had it done once over 10 years ago and it felt good to clear my mouth.

I did it under anesthesia. My husband
did it without anesthesia.

I wondered if that was the case, so I got Danna involved and looked into it.
I asked an attorney who knows Danna, and he said, "Chartering a car and giving a ride to a person is considered a travel business, so you need to report it to a travel agency.
Anyway, he said that the law is very strict when it comes to the transportation of people.
The reason seems to be "for safety because there are always dangers such as accidents when people move" and "for consumer protection against fraud and breach of contract".
The law is stricter than the law for private tours, because it says, "Penalties will be imposed if you don't write your registration number on all advertisements.
"If you don't report it, there's nothing you can do if you get in trouble and run away," I was told.
Indeed.

Indeed, it is a surprising content. As you say, the necessary business licenses and registrations are required to operate a legitimate tour business. When advertised in the form of "private individual private tours," it is not uncommon for them to operate without the proper credentials or permits. Especially in popular tourist destinations such as Los Angeles, there can be a mixture of illegal services targeting tourists.

One reason for the existence of these illegal services may be that consumers have difficulty recognizing them and they are easily accepted as a less costly option. However, if a problem or accident should occur, there is a risk of not receiving proper compensation. To answer that nephew's question, the best advice would be to say that it is important to carefully check the business license and registration information of the service you are using. It is also safe to choose a company with reliable official tourist services and reviews. Although the image of "Japanese people follow the rules" is certainly strong, it is also true that in reality there are differences among individuals. As time goes by, the tourism industry and consumer choices may be changing.
