When I was a freshman in high school, I was sent to study in the United States at my father's discretion. I had friends and a boyfriend in Japan and was enjoying my life every day, but I was sent there on my father's wish, even though I could not speak any English, and my life became quite chaotic. I think it is necessary to find out whether the children are saying "I'm going" to please or offend their parents, or whether they are really going （ In my case, I was forbidden to even express my opinion ）. Incidentally, I have several friends who moved to Hawaii from foreign countries （ Japan and other countries ） in their childhood （ and are now in their 50s ）. They say that it was difficult for them to be forced to be independent at a time when they wanted to be spoiled by their parents because their parents did not have sufficient communication skills and the children had to act as intermediaries, communicate with teachers, interpret documents, etc. Many of my friends are now having various problems because their bodies have matured while their minds remain immature due to the fact that they did not have a normal youth period. I am one of them, so I can't think of it as someone else's problem. I think it is better to act with caution.

My whole family moved to Hawaii last year because of my job. My children were 8 and 13 years old at the time. They attended public school in Japan and had never attended an English cram school.
We had many discussions about moving to Hawaii as a family because we were worried about our children's school. We had been to Hawaii twice for family vacations before moving here, so it was not the first time, and the children wanted to take on the challenge of living in Hawaii. Since we moved to Hawaii in March, the children attended an English school in Waikiki, as my office was in Waikiki, until the public school system in Hawaii started. I was able to get a lot of information from people who had moved to Hawaii as I had. Now that my children have gotten used to the school, they have made good friends and are enjoying life in Hawaii. I keep in touch with my friends in Japan every day and they also seem to be interested in Hawaii. There was also a junior high school student who came to this school alone and was living with a host family. He said that his host family was very kind and he was having a great time. He said that he is not lonely because he can keep in touch with his family every day through LINE. I know there are a lot of worries when you take on a new challenge, but Hawaii is also very immigrant-friendly. Now I am glad that my family and I moved to Hawaii.

Seeing is believing
It's fine to ask other people's opinions when making big decisions, but the more you ask, the more you will probably end up worrying even more.

Mr. Ray in #15
I don't agree with your opinion that Mr. Kan's answer in #14 is misguided.
No matter how much information you receive, the decision is yours to make ｡ Of course, it is important to listen to different opinions before you decide ．
I have two daughters myself, and on the first day of school after moving from another state, my daughter was asked if she wanted to go to Tatou and she was terrified so I had her transfer her
to another school. I am not sure about sending your 13 year old daughter alone. I think it is a good idea to send your 13 year old daughter alone.
She may feel so lonely that she may connect with her bad friends as a sense of camaraderie.
It is easy for a new student to become a target ｡
While she is in Japan, she should get used to learning English through YouTube.
Put them in an English environment ． Give them daily hugs and tell them that they are very important to you.

If you took a course in the previous semester, the previous balance should be worth that payment. If this is your first semester, it may be other payments such as enrollment fees. If it includes fees for a course that you did not take, you should contact the school's staff office via e-mail with the receipt or checkout page. \The address can be found on the website under the "contact" tab ）.

American politics is a deeply rooted partisan divide, especially in recent years, and is often discussed from the perspective of "which party will rule the country? While some argue that the Democrats have not been able to come up with policies that are attractive to voters, the Republican side has also faced criticism for Trump's hard-line political stance.
Under these circumstances, it is important to understand how the public perceives politics and what kind of future they want.

People who support Democrats don't seem to see the big picture well and often criticize President Trump's character, but don't forget that behind President Trump is the support of $77 MILLION American citizens.　President Trump is working for us to fulfill his campaign promises, not doing whatever he wants on his own.　President Trump is still listening to the citizens at all times, right? Those who support the Democrats will never know this fact.

Now Democrats, or rather anti-Trumps, are just a religious cult, so they can't debate, they can't argue, they can't answer questions, so they just get mad and lash out, just like kids
Until Obama, there wasn't much difference in policy between Democrats and Republicans, they changed every two terms
But in Trump's first term, the Rothschilds, who were behind it, couldn't control it, so they gave money to Biden and got him elected. > But after Trump's first term, the Rothschilds, who were behind it, decided they couldn't control it, so they threw money around to get Biden elected
By the way, the reporters revealed that they knew Biden's dementia was getting worse and worse during his term
. Biden's messed upness brought him back to his senses and brainwashed him into believing that the Democrats were not good enough.

American politics is a place of serious partisan conflict, especially in recent years, and there has been a lot of debate over which party will lead the country. While former President Trump has many supporters, there is also persistent criticism of his policies and political style. Democrats often have concerns about Trump's political stances and actions, while Republican supporters often see him as fulfilling his promises and reflecting the voice of the citizens. In political discussions, it is important for people with different points of view to find common ground through dialogue.

I'm not saying it's a hoax, I'm not just saying it based on the internet. I'm not just speaking from the internet, I know someone who was denied entry after just two sightseeing trips. She wasn't fancy at all, but she was cute. If the reason for being sent to a separate room is because of the fancy clothes in the suitcase, then the contents of the suitcase have not yet been seen at the time of being sent to the separate room. After immigration, they would go to get their suitcases after entering the U.S. In most cases, the CBP officer will not look at the contents of your suitcase, but will talk to you and decide whether you are allowed to enter or denied entry, but if the CBP officer wants to look at the contents of your suitcase, he or she will.
Also, many Japanese people think that they have to wear makeup, but not many people in the US think that. Especially when flying. If you see non-Japanese women at the airport, most of them are dressed casually without makeup.

It is not just what I have heard on the internet. In fact, in the past, when I was a student, I was told by an American airline staff （ flight attendant or ground staff ） at an airport in Japan that young women are easily suspected and possibly sent to another room because they always forget the documents required for entry. I know of one person who was denied entry to Japan after only two visits.

If you are sent to a separate room because you have a flashy change of clothes in your suitcase, they will not see the contents of your suitcase at the time you are sent to the other room. The reason is that they go to get the suitcases after entering the country. If the CBP officer wants to see the contents of the suitcase, he or she can ask a staff member to bring the suitcase to the other room and look at it.

Also, I mean, put on some makeup, most of the female passengers you see at the airport are dressed casually with no makeup on ？.

There are several instances in which social networking sites can become a problem for immigration inspectors. For example, the content of past postings may influence the examiner's decision. In particular, if there are political statements or inconsistencies regarding the purpose of travel, they may be investigated in detail in a separate room. In addition to social networking sites, the presence of work-related materials or business cards among your belongings may also be judged to be inconsistent with your purpose of tourism. In fact, there have been reports of cases where business cards were found and the applicant was denied entry into Japan as a result of a phone call to the company confirming the business card. In addition, if the information on your ESTA application does not match the information on your social networking service, your application may be scrutinized more strictly. It is important to enter accurate information in advance, as it may be difficult to correct any errors in your application. The key to passing the immigration inspection smoothly is to review your SNS public settings and make sure that the information regarding your purpose of travel is consistent. If you have any concerns, it is a good idea to prepare them in advance.

They say it's rude to promise to buy something, only to have it withdrawn in the middle of the process. If you don't want to sell, why don't you just say no?

Sometimes I wonder if someone else came along to buy at a higher price. I was asked by a last minute returnee if I would like to buy a set of educational books for ＄ 10, and I gladly agreed, but the next day I was told "I spilled coffee on them and threw them away". It's strange that there was so much coffee on everything, but I didn't get to see it, and I'm sure ＄ someone was buying it for more than 10.
＄ It's hard to believe that someone would abandon a bag of 3 for ＄ 15, even though they said they would buy it for ＄ 20. Even if someone says they will buy it for 20, normal adults don't dance around the difference.

In the past, a person offering a low price in Chicago did not respond at all and was raising the price behind the scenes, which led to a flood of complaints, and finally I was banned from that site.

Then don't buy it. Or buy it yourself. It's hard to get, and you spent hours and hours in line early in the morning to get it, and you spent gasoline to get a rare item, so it has a premium.
I know someone who was able to buy one without standing in line, but he didn't say which store.
I heard there were long lines everywhere in the South Bay. There was a guy who thought they were giving them away for free. He was told by the guy at the store how much and how long the line was there 😆.

Thanks to the cooperation of many people, we have safely brought Corydoras from Japan.
I just wanted to share some information as I am getting settled into life in Palo Alto.

・ Tap water tastes the same as in Japan. （ I used to drink tap water as it is in Japan. ）
I still have some 4 in 1 that I brought from Japan, so I use it to remove chlorine.
As for bactericide, I use TOPFIN biological clearner which I bought here.

・ The filtering system, Eheim 2213, was shipped separately by air, discarding the filter media.

・ The filter media, hoses, and water tank were purchased from Amazon.
The tank was purchased as a starter set, so the filtration system could be used as a connection until the Eheim arrived.
（ Corydoras pandas finally started to survive after switching to Eheim, so Eheim was a must-have product. I don't know how I held on to it until it arrived ）

・ The bucket was purchased at Dollar Tree. I feel like I can't really find the bucket.


In Japan, I fed Kyorin's Vitacrin Red Beetle, but they do not eat the Red Beetle I bought here at all and I am looking for something else. I thought all akamushi were the same, but I guess they taste different.
Now I feed them corribits that I brought from Japan.
If you have any information on recommended food for corydoras, please let me know.

I think you just wanted to complain a little and relieve some stress.

I can't tell from the text what kind of discrimination you actually suffered, but you may not have meant to discriminate
but it is true that there is such a thing as discrimination.
I think the person who discriminates against you is not satisfied with himself.
I think it is a shame and a waste of time to be pushed around by such people, so let's ignore them. People who work hard in any profession are wonderful. Don't lose, do your best.

Mr. Ray
Do you know that society revolves around people from all walks of life ？
No matter how respected you are, your life would not be possible without people to build your house, clean your house, and cook your food
And when you say that discrimination is wrong, isn't it strange that you say that people should not be discriminated against? And when we are talking about discrimination, isn't it funny to say "you don't have to become a person who is discriminated against"?
