P.S. — Since traffic violations are caught in the act, even if you report the video to the HPD, they’ll just say, “Please be careful,”
and won’t issue a ticket.

They will keep a record of it, though. Unless they witness the incident firsthand, they won’t issue a ticket.
If they were to issue a ticket for every single instance, they’d end up issuing tickets to
every single driver.

Thank you for sharing your experience and letting me know that tickets are only issued for drivers caught in the act.
What’s more, this recent incident happened while I was walking with my child in a stroller—I thought we’d be pretty noticeable, but the driver seemed to completely ignore us, which really made me angry. If it had been drizzling, I might have felt so miserable that I would have burst into tears.
A little while ago, I also witnessed a car accident right in front of me at an intersection where two cars collided. If I’d been walking a little further ahead and waiting at the traffic light, I might have been caught up in it, so I’ve been staying extra vigilant when waiting at traffic lights lately.

The other day, while driving down Kapahulu Avenue, I saw someone crossing the crosswalk while filming the traffic ？ on the street ？ with their smartphone. Every single car, both to the right and left, had come to a complete stop. After seeing your post, I wondered if this person might have had a similar experience ？, but how about trying to cross the crosswalk this way? ？

Even when I’m driving, I feel like traffic has been moving faster lately. I think pedestrians must have a lot of scary experiences. Our street faces a major road, and since there are quite a few traffic accidents, to be honest, I’m afraid to let my son walk there alone.

#5 Mr. M
＞ Why don’t you try crossing the crosswalk this way? ？

The City of Honolulu has a law commonly known as the “No Smartphone While Walking Law （ Distracted Walking Law / Ordinance Section 15-24.23 ）,”
which prohibits “viewing （ Viewing ） ” the screen of electronic devices such as smartphones while crossing crosswalks or roads.

We’ve summarized the key points you should know.

[Prohibited Activities ・ and Devices]

◆Prohibited actions: Sending text messages, checking social media, browsing the web, and watching videos on your smartphone are, of course, prohibited—even “simply checking the time on the screen” is not allowed.

◆Covered devices: Smartphones, tablets, laptops, digital cameras, handheld game consoles, etc.

◆The Only Exception: This is permitted only when calling 911 （ for an emergency ）.

🚨Hands-free calls or listening to music ？
"looking at the screen" is what is regulated; therefore, making a call without looking at your smartphone screen or
listening to music while crossing the street—（ setting safety concerns aside—） does not constitute a violation of this law.

💡 Crossing the street while filming a video—if you’re looking at the screen—is a violation and subject to a fine.
I know of people who paid fines for this before the pandemic, but enforcement of this violation has now become more lenient.

I forgot to mention one more important point.

In the event of a traffic accident on a crosswalk, if you were filming the incident, the pedestrian would also be considered to have committed a violation, which would put them at a disadvantage.

Dodger Stadium gets super crowded, so it’s a shame for little kids …—they’d just get jostled around
. I guess it’s a bit of a stretch to try to get in and out of the wildly popular Dodgers games without spending any money and while avoiding the crowds.

When you mention a Wednesday day game, I assume you’re referring to tomorrow, the 17th.

I’ve never $ parked in Lots 13 and 14 of Section 5, but for night games, there’s always a long line starting two and a half hours before the parking lot gates open. I parked in the stadium’s on-site parking lot, ignoring that line. $ If you park in Lot 5, you’ll have quite a walk under the blazing sun, so I wouldn’t recommend it for families with children.

Lot 13 and 14, where parking costs $5, are likely to fill up an hour before game time on weekends, depending on the matchup and other factors.
When I went to watch a game last weekend, it was an hour and a half before kickoff, and I barely managed to find a spot.
It’s not that far from Lot 13 to the stadium, but the hill is steep, so I think it would be tough if you have kids.

If you leave the $45 standard parking lot at the end of the 8th inning, you can usually get out without much of a wait.

I’m someone who always parks in Lot 13 for $5 （—I’ll be using it about 20 times starting with the 2025 season ）. I have children aged 7, 4, and 1. I carry the 1-year-old, but the 7- and 4-year-olds usually walk to the ballpark （—though the 4-year-old sometimes rides in a stroller ）.
For weekday night games （ with bobblehead giveaways ）, I always try to arrive 20–30 minutes before the parking lot opens, and I’ve never had any trouble finding a spot. However, for particularly popular events, the parking lot opens earlier than usual and fills up quickly, so I’ve sometimes ended up having to pay the $45 parking fee.
Also, Lot 13 is often used as a staff parking lot, and when that happens, the available spaces are significantly reduced, which always makes me feel rushed.
On the way back, even if we take our time after the game ends, it’s cool and mostly downhill, so we get there quickly while chatting about the game. If we drive, there’s almost no traffic, so the trip home is smooth.

Since you can’t use kanji with your husband’s last name, you’re planning to use the same last name as your Japanese mother, right?
I think it’ll be fine because they’ll add your husband’s last name in parentheses on your Japanese passport, but the names won’t match, will they?
If I use that example name for my child’s Japanese name, I believe it will be registered in the family register as Yamada Hanako Rei. We’ll list it as Hanako Rei on official documents, but if we end up living in Japan, we’ll let people call her either Hanako or Rei—whichever they prefer.
The passport is written entirely in Roman letters as Yamda(Smith) Lei Hanako.
I’m curious how others in international marriages have handled this, but I think the best thing to do is consult with the Japanese consulate.

In our case, for some reason, my name on my Japanese family register has ended up as a combined name with my husband’s, so so our children’s passports list

Japan

USA

USA —they don’t include our Japanese family name. We’ve traveled back and forth between Hawaii and Japan many times, and we’ve never had any problems. The only issue is that the names are so long they sometimes don’t fit on the airline tickets.

I was a private guide with both Vima Travel and Rocotavi until a few years ago. I knew for sure there would be a certain number of clients who would report to the authorities. We even got ice cream, so it was very difficult. We don't do it anymore. If you underestimate the importance of private guiding, I think you will have a bad experience.

I was in the immigration line for 2 hours when I came back in Feb. As a GC holder, I am usually instructed to stand in the US passport line with my US citizen family members, but this time I was instructed to stand in the tourist line with my family members because of the new rules. So all the US Passport family members stood in the tourist line with me for 2 hours.

When my turn finally came, all of my US citizen family members were sent to a separate room with me, and they were also inconvenienced. I have a feeling that even if I apply for Global Entry, it will be rejected because of my history of visa denial decades ago.

I used to be sent to a separate room every time, so I got a redress number, and after getting the number, I don't have to be sent to a separate room anymore, but this time, the officer at the counter happened to be new, and all my family members were exhausted after being sent to a separate room for a long time.

I want to get global entry, but I think I will fail in the screening process, so I have given up on MPC for now ….

This was my first
airport immigration since getting Global Entry.
The tourist lanes were not as long as in October, but
the Global Entry lanes were
the smoothest I have ever seen.

This year, I flew back to Hawaii on ANA. Since I arrived at 8:00 a.m., there was no one in line.

Last time, I flew JAL and arrived after 9:00 a.m., so I had to wait in line for nearly an hour at Honolulu Airport without a Global Entry card.

I think if I continue flying ANA, I probably won’t need Global Entry.

As Japan’s population declines and remote work becomes more common, the number of moving companies catering to Japanese customers is also decreasing. Many companies no longer answer their phones. Since unlicensed, fly-by-night operators offer no insurance, it can be a bit worrisome if your belongings get lost or damaged; therefore, sticking with a major company might be the safer choice.

He said there's ice cream in Joshua Tree. He's not a ranger.
I went there the other day and right after I paid the park entrance fee, there was an ice cream checkpoint.
I showed them my green card. They also asked about the relationship of the passenger.
He said he doesn't have one at all times now. They also looked at my car's license plate number.
I was surprised that they were also doing checkpoints at the south entrance and exit on the I-10 side.

I'll report this to my landlord because I like my current room, the location and the price, and I don't want to move as much as possible. When this noise started, the dog from the house next door was barking in response, but he hasn't been barking lately.

This is a counter-prescription for when I was in Los Angeles.
In Los Angeles, noise is out between 10:00 and 7:00.
Hawaii is the same way, so
report it to the management company and if it hasn't improved,
it's perfectly acceptable to call the police.
Also, as other users have said, preservation of evidence is important and
necessary when notifying the noise source of a breach of contract.
Also, nationality depends on race, but there is a good chance that
the police will only come once and
it will stop. In my case, the landlord terminated the contract quickly after two reports.
However, if it is discovered that you are the one who reported the incident, the same thing can happen to you, and you can get upset
because of your race and nationality.
The strongest recording is a video with a clock and date and time.
