Did you buy Laptop in Japan or in the US ??

I live in Hawaii.

I am about to buy a new laptop.

I was wondering if you guys could tell me which store in Hawaii ( US online ) or Japan

you bought it from ?

why Japan is better and why US ( Hawaii ) is better. I would be very happy.

Please do so !

It is better to buy in the country where you live, mainly in your main country of residence.
The reason is warranty. If you buy something in Japan, even if it is from the same manufacturer, if something goes wrong Hawaii ・ in the US
it is not covered by the warranty. The reverse is also true.

It doesn't matter if the keyboard is in hiragana or not. If you want,
you can find hiragana keyboards here, too.

A, most things you might take on a trip, such as a PC, are now DUAL VOLTAGE. ( I think it says something like 100v-240v. )
Electric toothbrushes such as Sonicare can be bought in either country.
So there is no problem with the voltage whether you buy it in Japan or in the US.
However, sometimes the shape of the plugs of American products are different
so you may need a conversion plug for that ? or so.

Halo-san A

Thank you very much for your reply.

I was thinking that it would be better to buy something in Yen that can be bought in Japan because of the weak Yen and strong US dollar, but

if a PC bought in Japan is not guaranteed in the US, it is still better to buy in the US.

Very helpful.

I am of the school of thought that I buy things from Japanese manufacturers in Japan. Many major electronics stores in Japan will answer your questions in detail, so you don't have to worry when you buy, and when problems arise, you can solve them by doing a Google search in Japanese.

I understand that many countries are involved to make one product, but I still buy products from Japanese manufacturers in Japan to support Japan because it used to be the main production in Japan.

I live in Honolulu.

I pay $85 per month for internet wifi at home with Spectrum.

Tmobile advertises the same 5GWifi for $50 per month.

Has anyone switched their home internet from Spectrum to Tmobile ?

Can you still view Youtube and computers and connect at the same speed ?

Thanks for the valuable information.

I see that the signal strength is affected by the weather.
By the way, I would appreciate it if you could tell me
approximately where you live, or if you live near the antenna, as much as you can.

It is on a hillside near Kahala. Depending on where the antennas are ?, the connection will be different, but T-mobile has a lot of antennas cuz it's relatively easy to get a connection. If you go to a store, they can check the connection in that area from your address.

Mai,

sorry for the late reply here.

Thanks again for the detailed information.
I am in McCully ・ Moiliili area.
I looked at T-mobile's 5G map before and the signal strength looked good.

I am currently using Hawaiin Telcom internet,
I called customer service when I renewed and managed to get a discount, $ 50/mo.
However, I think the speed will be in the slow category, so I'm thinking that T-mobile is a better deal if I pay the same price,
and I don't have to pay the higher cost after the subscription benefit discount, so I might as well switch.
I'm thinking that I might.

A couple of our neighbors who have been very kind to us have returned to Japan permanently.
They asked me to forward their mail to my address and I have done so.
But I also have tax, Medicare, and other important mail.
Each time I send them to Japan, I wonder if there is a system to forward them directly to Japan ?

I wonder what I should do if I think the mail will keep coming for the rest of my life.
I made the mistake of agreeing to it so easily.

Hi. I thought ! ! it's the same person ?.
I don't do online banking, I translated English letters for them, and of course I called them about subscriptions, cancellations, etc. I even took the time to make appointments for covid vaccine appointments for those over 65 years old. I was doing them a favor because I was taking care of them, but when there was a problem, they complained.
That's right. It takes up a lot of my time. I am a full time single mother and pressed for time. When I finally get back home, they want me to send them a postcard with a note.

I'd be happy to do it for you if I could get paid for my time
but instead of going on and on
you need to break it up into periods just one year and find your own solution in that time.

I have decided to get a driver's license !
The DMV website says that I need at least two documents for the test, such as ID, bank account documents, apartment contract, and electric/gas bill, etc.
The apartment and electric/gas contract are in my husband's name. The apartment and the electricity and gas are in my husband's name and not in my name. ( I was told that I need an ID to open a bank account, but I could not do so because I do not have a driver's license or ID card.

I would appreciate it if someone who has obtained a driver's license and was in a situation like mine could tell me what kind of documents they submitted to the DMV.

Sorry for the confusing text.

It is faster to go to the DMV office and ask them directly.
Many conditions change. There are many people like you, so the direct consultation window at the DMV is accurate.

The number of documents required will vary depending on whether you have a driver's license only or with Real ID. …

The lease agreement for the apartment will have the names and signatures of the adult roommates other than the contractor (Topi(Topi)》. Please check. If not, please ask them to put their names on the lease and sign it now.

I was able to open a bank account with a passport and a proof of address (a proof of lease) (I know someone who opened a bank account with Bank of America a year ago without SSN.)

I think you can put your name on the cell phone contract too, so please do.

I think you can apply at the DMV if you bring copies of these.

I think if you have your permanent residency and passport you can get the account set up quickly, as all you needed was two photo proofs.
I think you also have marriage certificates etc. and it would be quicker to talk to your husband if he helped you ?.

Mr. Health Oriented
runny nose, mild throat oddities, i.e., in the early stages. I take my favorite of the supplements and go to bed for 2 hours.
When I woke up, I was cured and refreshed ! ! Experienced this on a trip to Japan in October.
I tried to sleep when I wanted to due to jet lag.
Everyone in Japan wears masks, I had long since gotten rid of mine in the US and hated the hassle.
For some reason, I have a bad cold once or twice a year (which takes a month to heal) and have not had a cold since 2020, when the corona epidemic started. I've been living my life with a good amount of masks and seeing people normally. He has stopped getting the vaccine after only two doses.
It really depends on the person.
Also, this is off-topic, but Seirogan is our family's one-shot cure-all for diarrhea.
It also helps with colds ? 🤔I'm sure it has licorice in it so it gives the body energy.
And my other 1-shot effect, my regular medicine is 🎉jaja~n
propolis.
This is a natural antibiotech and in ancient times sailors used to keep it handy.
When I use it, it is not a chronic disease, but once in 3 or 4 months, I have a bad pain like a nerve pain that tingles in my body
I just take one propolis tablet and I am cured in one shot.
It is also effective enough with the cheapest vitamin shoppe brand tablets in the vitamin shop (chain stores).
I think that the herpes bacteria resides in my body and comes out when I get tired ?.
I hope this helps 😊.

Gonko,

Thank you very much for introducing medicines for diverse diseases.

It may or may not work for some people, but it is all nodding my head.

This sounds like something I would write on a topic in my 70s, but unlike people who commute to work and school,

I have plenty of time, so I always try to do simple exercises

to avoid carrying colds and body problems on my back.

And the same goes for "eat and burn".

I can't remember how long ago I last had a cold.

I'm not a bloke, I can tell you this for sure.
