I would be very happy if you could give me some other advice. Thank you very much 🙇.

I attended the Global Village in Ala Moana. There were not many Japanese, but many Koreans, Swiss, and Mexicans.
However, the Swiss and Mexicans were very young, like they were in their teens or just turned 20.
I am in my 30s, so I could not join their community. LOL
After all, the language school is full of young kids. We went to bars and clubs on weekends, and the young kids were learning to speak English more and more. Of course, the country of origin and the ability to absorb English are different because they are young
When choosing a school, I think it is a good idea to check the age range of the students. At Global Village, the students were very young!

Aloha everyone! Raimbow here. Thank you for your warm comments ！
GV I see that there are not many Japanese people here after all ！ Your comment made me request a host family that does not speak Japanese too.
TNM-san, yes, timing is important, but as you said, the curriculum is also important. I am a Japanese teacher in Japan, so I will look into the curriculum carefully. STUDENTS Actually, Global Village is a candidate. I'm prepared to be surrounded by young people😅 but I'll do my best not to lose ！
I know someone who went to the school in Waikiki Business Plaza for 3 months and she said it was very good with small class size (average 3-4 students) and English only policy, Unfortunately, he did not have an I-20.

Our recommendation is to get a head start on basic English grammar while you are in Japan.
There should be a placement test on the first day of school, so if you enter a high level class there, you will find students who speak fluently even though it is their second language. You should buy any grammar reference book and go through at least two rounds. If you mention learning English in Hawaii, you will get a lot of flak, but that's because most people hang out or play with only Japanese people.
I think people like you who can set your own mindset will be fine. I support you ！.

Thank you for your message and advice. This time I will do my best to study in Japan because my goal is to get a TOEIC score of 800 or higher to be useful for my job as a Japanese language teacher.
I will be at school about 20 hours a week, so I want to communicate in English outside of school and enjoy a comfortable living environment in Hawaii. Thank you for your support ！.

I think you should use English as much as possible.

If you cannot speak English, you are wasting your time.
So, I think you should try to dive into the English-only world as much as possible.

English is something you get used to, so I think you should be proactive about being in an English-only world.

Since English in class is not enough, it is good to watch TV without captions
or movies without Japanese subtitles on a daily basis.

I would like to hear your stories of your experiences in Hawaii.

A story I experienced.
I went to the famous Birth Stone, and out of nowhere, a Hawaiian man （ who was the administrator of the Birth Stone and ancestor who took over the ceremony ） appeared and took me inside the site of the Birth Stone for a special ceremony. It was a strange experience, even thinking about it now, the timing and all. After that, my infertile friend who was with me got pregnant.

When Lan Bo saw me, I didn't even tell her my name or date of birth, but as soon as she walked into the room, she started talking about her deceased husband in a very simple way. （ Of course, I didn't even know he had passed away, but ）

That night when I met Kumu, the Hawaiian, who chanted for me, I found that the closet I had closed before going to bed was wide open when I got up in the morning.

That's about it for me, not much more, but I'd love to hear your stories.

Question for you all.

I am currently using an IPhone and it was not doing well so I paid to have it repaired in the past.
After almost a year after the repair, now it sometimes freezes.

I have only used IPhone, but I am thinking of replacing it when 17 comes out in September
or switching to Android. I am thinking about it.
I would be very grateful if you could share your experiences.

If I switch to Android, will I be able to transfer my data from iCloud ？
If I switch to Android, where will I be able to go instead of the Apple Store ？
I want to look at different models to choose from. Please let me know your opinions.
Thank you very much.

The same is true for TVs and other electronics, but I think buying a new product that just came out comes with a premium price
When big screens like 2K and 4K first came out, they were very expensive, but after a few years, newer and better products came out and older products became affordable

Unless you have a lot of money saved up, I don't think you need to jump into a new product. Unless you have a lot of money saved up, I don't think you need to jump on the new product bandwagon.

Same with cell phones
I am anti-Apple and don't use iPhone unless it is company provided. It's not open and all sorts of expensive.
So I choose Android only.

In the past, I used to be able to get a product that was pretty close to fine for around $50, usually under $100 when on sale, but the average price seems to have gone up recently
The one I used and use now is also under $100 and I got it using various backdoor techniques.
Moto razr ＋ 2024, but it is usually good.

I used to use a model of iPhone, but it still got expensive, so I use Android these days.　With Android, even the latest model can be bought for less than 100,000 yen （ I bought one old model for 5 ～ 60,000 yen ）
Andoroid is made by many different manufacturers, so why not compare price and performance and buy the one you like ？?

I am also a condo near Ala Moana.
My car insurer told me I would get a good deal on a set
car and home insurance are the same. I heard that if you have a lot of luxury items in your personal belongings you get a
expensive insurance policy to be covered, but I don't, so it's normal.
I was told to evacuate to the 4th floor or higher on the news about the recent tsunami information
I wondered if it would be okay to not change my insurance policy, especially if I am above the 4th floor. I think the $1500 home insurance is for a single family home.

We are forced to buy condo-specified insurance if we don't have individual insurance coverage as determined by the condo.

State Farm, a major player, announced a 22% price increase and other companies are following suit.
Now, you may pay more if you switch to a new other company.

Each insurance policy is completely different in each case, so there is no point in comparing one with another.
It depends on the condo you live in. Without detailed information, it is useless to compare.

You will get more appropriate answers if you ask AI questions than if you put your personal information here.

My husband owns an insurance agency. Over the past few years, the insurance industry as a whole has become very tough. It seems that the new conventional wisdom throughout the insurance industry is that we are entering an era where it is inevitable that things will get even tougher and insurance costs will rise. It is often said that the rise in insurance costs is due to the fires in Maui, but in fact, the main cause is natural disasters caused by extreme weather events that are occurring all over the world. Insurance companies are raising overall insurance rates to make up for the insurance claims that have occurred in other parts of the U.S. and around the world. They are also making the lines tighter than ever for new insureds to sign up for the natural disasters that are sure to happen in the future. The cost of insurance for my home has gone up every year for the past few years, and this year it was double the price of last year. However, as he says, "You should be thankful just to have insurance," as he sees clients every day who are unable to join any insurance company because their insurance has been unilaterally cancelled by the insurance company for various reasons. He said, "You have to be thankful just to have insurance. In addition, there are an increasing number of companies that continue to offer lower terms and conditions to their existing clients, but demand extremely strict terms and conditions from new clients. For the aforementioned reason, once you cancel your insurance, you may not be able to reapply for insurance under the same conditions as before. However, the above is not so much true for automobile insurance, which is an exception to the rule that you are required by law to purchase.
