It’s been a year since I applied for U.S. citizenship last August.
I haven’t heard anything yet—does it really take this long?
I heard that once you’re over 65, the oral test consists of 20 questions, but since I was 64 when I applied, the AI said that didn’t apply to me.
Even after the naturalization ceremony, it looks like it will take a while to get my passport, and my elderly parents need to travel back and forth to Japan.
If anyone knows how long the application process typically takes, I’d really appreciate your help.

Drunk driving is absolutely out of the question—it puts other people’s lives at risk. It’s completely unacceptable.

A question for Copilot. How many times have you crossed at a crosswalk while running a red light? ？ Can you answer honestly, with your hand on your heart? ？ Ten times? 20 times, or even more? ？

Yes, Under Articles 7 and 120 of the Road Traffic Act, the penalty is a fine or administrative fine of up to 20,000 yen; for cyclists, it is imprisonment for up to three months （ custodial sentence ） or a fine of up to 50,000 yen. Additionally, for violating the reporting obligation, the penalty is imprisonment for up to three months, or a fine of up to 50,000 yen

If you’re the kind of person who lives that meticulously, it’s not too late to come forward and report it yourself. I doubt they’ll take you seriously, but in that case, why not donate the amount of the fines you’ve accumulated so far to a good cause? And make sure to truly reflect on your actions—you mustn’t run red lights (illegal acts) ever again.

I rarely run red lights. But when I’m absolutely running late, I might occasionally run across the street—though I don’t feel guilty about it, since so many people run red lights…

You lose your Japanese citizenship the moment you acquire U.S. citizenship. However, unless you file a notification of loss of citizenship, it’s impossible for the Japanese government to know about it. This is a gray area in a sense, and the Japanese government also bears some responsibility for the ambiguous laws and for turning a blind eye. In fact, it seems that even at the Japanese Embassy in the U.S., they say with a laugh, “Please choose one or the other,” just like how a police car uses its loudspeaker to tell someone who ran a red light, “Please don’t run the red light.”

By the way, please be aware that if you travel back and forth using a U.S. passport (without a visa), you may be stopped at a Japanese airport and barred from entering the country for a long time. This happened to someone I know.

Watching this exchange from the sidelines is a great learning experience ！

As I understand it, the term “gray zone” refers to a situation—such as the debate over Article 9 of the Constitution and the capability to strike enemy bases—where
“a state in which legal interpretations and judgments regarding illegality are themselves divided.”

In reality, as Taro-san pointed out, I learned that
the “grey zone” refers to “a situation that is difficult to detect in practice because, although it is clearly defined as illegal under the law, the administrative enforcement system hasn’t caught up yet” is what is called the “gray zone”—and it was a real eye-opener for me. ！

The final story—about “an acquaintance who was stopped while attempting to enter the country on a U.S. passport and was subsequently barred from entry for an extended period”—is also very realistic and compelling.
You even shared a valuable example of how, the moment a gray-area situation is actually detected by authorities as a clear violation, it instantly turns black—I learned a great deal from that ！

I’m the kind of person who thinks, “I’ll probably think about this just to be on the safe side from now on.”

In the U.S. （ and around the world ？ ） people are concerned about the future of non-citizens—those with visas or green cards

Visas, green card screening has become quite strict, and there are signs they’re trying to avoid admitting non-citizens with criminal records, so I’ve heard that more people planning to continue living in the U.S. are applying for citizenship just to be on the safe side.
If that’s the case, many others are likely thinking the same way,
so I wonder if the wait times will get longer.

As for arrest records, an acquaintance of mine was reported to the police while leaving their child at home for just a few minutes, which apparently left a mark on their record, and they were worried about it. I’ve heard that, in the worst-case scenario, your Green Card could even be confiscated at the airport.

I’ve also met people who hold passports from three countries. Some were given a passport from their spouse’s country after marriage, then divorced that person and remarried someone from yet another country—it seems there are some complicated situations. For some, this was by their own choice; for others, it had nothing to do with their own will. Also, there are cases where people have to choose a citizenship once they reach adulthood, but haven’t chosen yet—it all seems quite complicated.

What concerns me is that, as a Green Card holder who isn’t a citizen, I want to stay on top of the laws at all times. Also, I’m concerned about how inheritance tax rates differ between citizens and non-citizens going forward.

It seems the kitchen drain is clogged, and the water won’t drain. I’ve tried various things—using a long drain snake, pouring in a special drain-cleaning gel, and flushing hot water, baking soda, and vinegar down the drain—but nothing has worked.
If you know of any reliable plumbers, I’d appreciate it if you could let me know. I’m in Torrance, so it would be great if the plumber was in that area.
By the way, this isn’t a regular home—it’s a church kitchen—so the scale might be different. Thank you in advance.

The approach will vary depending on whether only the kitchen is clogged or if the entire building—including the toilet and other areas—is clogged.
If the main sewer line is clogged, everything will be clogged; however, if only the kitchen sink is clogged, it means the section between the main line and the sink is blocked, so I think you can clear it by slowly working a drain snake from the sink side. While a power drain snake can get the job done faster, some people have injured their fingers by getting them caught when using one without gloves, so it might be better for a layperson to use a manual drain snake and take a few hours to clear the blockage slowly. If the main sewer line is blocked, it’s faster to insert the drain snake from the drain grate on the sewer side.

You mentioned a “long snake”—how many feet is it? ？ Commercially available snakes are usually no longer than about 15 feet, right? Since it’s a church, it must be a single-family home. I imagine the clogged section is about 25 feet away. The snake won’t reach that far. You’ll either have to take the plunge and buy a 30-foot snake or call a professional.

Hello.
I am thinking of applying for my child to take the Kinder exam this fall.
I was wondering if anyone knows how many people have taken the Punahou and Iolani Kinder exams in the last few years?
I understand that the Kinder exam is the most difficult. If you are taking the Middle exam, there is a test and a score bar, so I think it is fair and people who are not at that level may not take the exam. Please let me know.

My daughter graduated from Iolani. Naturally I was a fan of Iolani.
After hearing your opinions, I looked into it in detail. I can conclude that Punahou and Iolani are the best choice for Punahou.
Looking at the situation in Kinder today, it will not change in the next ten years. No, it is likely that the difference will be even greater.
Conversely, if you cannot pass Punahou, Iolani is the only choice.
Even though we are taking the Kinder exam, in the end we want to get them into a good college.
In the U.S., college entrance exams are based on school grades, teacher recommendation letters, essays, interviews, etc.
I applied to 11 schools, 3 were memorial exams ？
2 were stop-losses, and as a result, I received acceptance letters from 7 schools.
I failed the 3 schools that the school said I couldn't go to. The one school I didn't want to go to even if I was accepted was also a no-go.
I passed all the other schools that I thought I might be able to get into.
I have the impression that Iorani's support for university entrance exams was very good.
I was told that it was impossible, but it was still impossible.
The problem was just beginning: tuition and living expenses.
There are merit-based and need-based scholarships.
Families who go to Punahou or Iolani are unlikely to have need-based.
Every college has given me merit-based scholarships. But 1 ． 50,000 ～ 2 ． $50,000.
Education ： about $70,000, living expenses ： about $20,000, I can't do very well.
State universities have lower tuition, but if you are not a US citizen, you will not get preferential treatment in California.
I know there are many people whose only option is UH for these reasons.

I will write some more to add.
If you want to go to college in the Mainland, you need at least $70,000/year.
This also goes up every year.
If this is not financially feasible for you, you should not choose Punahou or Iolani in the first place ？
There are 12796 students at UH. That's about 3200 students/year.
There are about 50 people in total who go to UH from Punahou and Iolani.
Mid-pack and others combined would not be 100 people.
In other words, an estimated 3,100 are enrolled from Public.
I think there is an option to go to UH while getting top grades at Public instead of choosing Punahou or Iolani from the start.
This would save about $400,000 over 12 years.

If you are accepted to the college you apply to, you will be notified of the cost and the scholarship you will receive after the acceptance letter.
I thought I would get a few scholarships even on a need-based basis.
In fact, it was merit-based only.

In the end, I had the painful experience of convincing my daughter, who was accepted, that it was financially impossible.
The good thing about going to Iolani is that I got accepted to a lot of good colleges even though I couldn't go, and I made a lot of good friends.

Indeed, a certain number of students from Punahou and Iolani go to UH each year.

Many then transfer to prestigious universities or go to prestigious graduate schools.

I don't have data, but my sense is that Punahou and Iolani graduates are far more likely to do so than Public graduates.

My daughter is currently attending Iolani Elementary. She didn’t have any homework in kindergarten or first grade. I think that’s because they cover the material thoroughly in class.
As for the counselor, I believe teachers have their own jobs to do, so personally, I think it’s better to leave any issues to a professional counselor. As my daughter has also mentioned, I think the students generally resolve their own problems.
As for the incident, it was the actions of a few students, and I think that sort of thing can happen at any school. I don’t think we should get too worked up over it.
My daughter absolutely loves Iolani.

The rankings for the total number of students accepted into Harvard, Princeton, MIT, Stanford, and other Ivy League schools across the United States have been released.
As expected, Punahou in Hawaii was far and away the top school. Punahou ranked 21st among all public and private high schools nationwide, while Iolani ranked 50th and fell out of the rankings. In recent years, Iolani has had zero students accepted to Harvard or MIT, and virtually none to Princeton, Harvard, or other Ivy League schools.
As someone mentioned, when it comes to the UC system, while Punahou sends many students to UCLA and Berkeley, Iolani students tend to go to lower-ranked schools like Irvine and UC San Diego … and others.

My daughter is a junior at Iolani, and lately there’s been a stark divide at the school between the top students and those who don’t prioritize academics—it’s become very polarized.
No matter how much I tell my daughter, she won’t take AP classes …—and it seems there are plenty of students around her who take only the bare minimum, not just my daughter.
It’s undeniable that there’s a significant gap between Iolani and Punahou in terms of where graduates go on to college. Starting in middle school, almost all the kids spend their breaks on their phones—a scene very different from Punahou, where all electronic devices are stored in lockers ！. When a friend once took me to Punahou, I was surprised to see that on the middle school campus, the kids were mostly outside playing basketball or engaging in active play.
These days, I find myself wondering—perhaps a bit belatedly—if the school’s approach, the heavy homework load starting in middle school, and the “study, study” mentality just don’t suit today’s kids.
Even if we push them to focus solely on academics, in the end, Punahou—with its well-rounded approach—seems to lead to better college placements. I’ve had some reservations about the school since around 4th grade, but now that she’s in junior high, I just want her to graduate from Iolani. Given her current situation, top-tier colleges are out of reach, but I simply hope she’ll find a school she genuinely wants to attend.
Iolani is a good school, but it’s certainly true that Punahou offers better college outcomes, fosters greater independence in children, and provides a stronger sense of community and communication skills. I believe this is linked to the college acceptance records of recent graduates, the decline in the number of kindergarten applicants, and the number of families who withdraw after enrollment. I’ve shared the reality I’ve observed after actually sending my child there.
For parents whose children are about to take the kindergarten entrance exams, since this is a school your child will attend for 13 years, I think it’s best to evaluate the school from various perspectives.

Maybe it’s because she has a disability or something? ？ A friend of mine was told she couldn’t bring her stroller in, so she had to go all the way back to the parking lot. She said the kids were either carried or had to walk, which left them completely exhausted—it was the worst day ever. When someone else pointed out that the sign said “No strollers,” she got really upset and said, “Everyone else is bringing theirs—why am I the only one who wasn’t allowed?”

If there’s a sign, there must be a reason, right?

I think most of you are aware of the theft that occurred at a watch store in Nakano, Tokyo, but the suspect has already been arrested.
I won’t go into details about the incident, but what surprised me was the price of the watches.
I had no idea there were watches that cost as much as 50 million yen each……
That’s not what a watch should cost, is it?
With 50 million yen, you could buy a luxury Italian car.

I’ve never really been interested in wristwatches; I just thought it was enough to know the exact time.
Even when a friend would show off a Rolex, saying, “Look, this is a Rolex,” I’d just go, “Hmm,” and feel nothing at all.
Well, I did think it looked heavy.
I prefer thin, lightweight watches.

And these days, I don’t even wear a watch. That’s because I can just check the time on my smartphone.
Well, I suppose the Apple Watch has all sorts of features besides telling time, but I don’t need them right now.

Apparently, this kind of watch, like antiques, has investment value.
Well, I suppose there’s nothing wrong with that, but for me, if I’m not going to wear it on my wrist, I can’t see its value as a watch.

The value of a Rolex lies in more than just being a “tool for telling time.”
Its price reflects the materials, craftsmanship, brand power, and global recognition.
From 18-karat gold and platinum to precision movements crafted by master artisans and the quality of the gemstones,
there are reasons why Rolex is treated as an “asset” just like luxury cars.

This may be difficult for those uninterested in watches to understand, but
Rolex is regarded worldwide as a symbol of trust.
It is held in such high regard that even banks and hotels take notice.

While perceptions of value vary from person to person,
there is a long history and solid foundation behind why Rolex watches command such high prices.

Will I be able to pay the fine after I return to Japan? ？
Also, what would be a reasonable amount? ？

Before the date in September arrives, call the Fremont County Circuit Court ） listed on the ticket （ Citation ）, explain that you must return to Japan （ because you are a traveler ）, and ask how to pay the fine.
Since this traffic ticket is not a standard speeding violation but rather “Reckless Driving （” ）—a criminal misdemeanor （ ）— I do not believe online payments via the court portal （ (such as the Wyoming Judicial Branch Payments system) are available.
If you’re told you must appear in court or if the fine is substantial, you should consider hiring a Wyoming traffic attorney （ Traffic Attorney ） to appear on your behalf.
I wrote that as if I knew what I was talking about, but it was actually a Google AI search. I just copied and pasted a topic by “Harabou” in Japanese. Looks like I could become a lawyer starting tomorrow ！ ！

I’m a complete layman, but I’m confident in stating the following:

Arrested for a serious speeding violation ・ Even if you aren’t detained, since this is a misdemeanor, it’s likely to hinder your future entry into the U.S. via ESTA. If your ・ financial situation allows, I believe the best course of action is to hire a traffic attorney to seek a reduced charge in court. (Using a defense prepared by a lawyer—such as unfamiliarity with U.S. traffic laws or the rental car’s speedometer, or that the speeding was not intentional.) In any case, I believe it is necessary to obtain a written copy of the court’s judgment to use as a defense when applying for a visa in the future.

If you ignore the judgment and fail to pay the fine, the court (not the police) will issue a bench warrant. This will result in your immediate arrest ・ and detention upon entry into the United States.

This is equivalent to receiving a red ticket for excessive speeding in Japan, where the penalty is a fine for a criminal offense rather than an administrative penalty.

I posted this because I’d like to hear from owners who rent out their rooms through a room-sharing arrangement
.

Regarding personal belongings, furniture, or appliances
—and how to handle situations where it’s unclear who caused the damage when
several people are living together—we’d like to hear your advice as we’re planning to start renting out a room ourselves
and want to learn about various issues, such as disputes between tenants
.
Thank you in advance 🤲
