We usually pick up about an hour after the scheduled arrival time. However, flights from Japan often arrive earlier than the scheduled arrival time due to a tailwind, in which case we will arrive a little earlier.

I was probably in the care of the same person for a long time.
I heard of his retirement just as I was thinking ！ that I had finally found someone I could trust as well.
Her instagram also disappeared and I am wondering if there were some sudden circumstances.
If you are still in Hawaii I would like to know too.
（ sorry for the non-answer ）

I think that praising a child's language and giving treats are two completely different things.
While praising the child when he uses correct language, if he asks for a snack when he shouldn't, the mother should gently explain why it's not a good time. Since your mother-in-law is also a kind person, I am sure that she will understand the basic things that are important in your family if you discuss them with her. In my case, my own mother is a person who tends to get emotional when her opinion is not taken, but my American mother-in-law was very kind. Sometimes she gave me advice, but she was not pushy. Whenever she disagreed with my ideas, I would explain my own ideas softly, and she would think about it, so there was almost never an awkward moment. We eventually got along so well that we could talk about harsh things and laugh at each other, so I think it's better not to get frustrated in the beginning. Good luck.

Thank you for the adbus, mama who finished raising her child ！
It's good to accept once ！ and step up to the plate.
I thought it would be good to teach my kids to use polite language with Gramma, since I only see my mother-in-law when I go to stay with her that way.

As you mentioned in your advice, I also think that correcting language and giving treats are two different things. In Hawaii, there seems to be a lot of differences in the way people speak depending on their parents' background, the area they live in, the school they attend, the homeroom teacher, etc. Teaching them correct and beautiful English in addition to the locale-specific English will help them when they become adults. I think that teaching them correct and beautiful English in addition to loco-style English will be useful for them when they grow up. If they get a job in the U.S. mainland or travel around the world in the future, it will be essential for them to speak standard English. My husband is very local and went to a private school in Oahu with a very strict language policy, but he spent his adolescence in the countryside of the Big Island of Hawaii, so he speaks with a very thick pidgin accent. I am very envious because I can speak in a casual pidgin with the locals and in beautiful English otherwise. I am also done raising my children, but I was quite strict with my children's snacks. The most important thing is to be consistent in addition to explaining things properly to your child. I think it is best to explain things the same way every time, using logic that is easy for the child to understand, without changing from one thing to another depending on the mother's mood or mood. In my own case, it was often agonizing, but I was saved when, as an adult, my children told me, "I didn't understand then, but now I understand why mom did what she did, and I am grateful that she did.

！
I thought it was not necessary to speak so politely because my English is at a daily conversational level and I only know Hawaii, and moreover, my child just turned 4 years old, so I thought it was enough if I could talk to him. But in the future, it would be better to have a good command of the language ！.

Day and night, the area around downtown Union Station is not safe. There was another stabbing early this Wednesday morning.

If you leave downtown, you can take the B line subway to Hollywood (about 20 minutes) or the #460 to Disneyland in Anaheim (about 2 hours).

I have been to San Diego by Amtrak, and in my experience it is not so scary when it is not too late, but when it is close to midnight, it is better not to go there.

In the morning, I think it would be better to take the train from Union Station to Anaheim and then take an Uber from the station to Disney. I am worried about how to use Uber's APP and when to contact the driver if I don't understand English.

I'm sure there are many ways, but the one that comes to mind is the Toll road （ toll road ） payment system.
You can make an account online and register your credit card and it will be paid automatically even after you pass through.
When I went back to Japan for a long time, I forgot my ETC card and had to pay in cash every time....

I think it has something to do with service, but the return system. Most stores in the U.S. allow smooth returns within about 30 days, even if the item is unboxed.
Shopping in Japan is time consuming because you have to look at the product carefully, touch it, and think about it because you cannot return it.

Mile,

You are right.

Most of the products can be returned "after use" unless they are marked "non-returnable".

I have also returned a large box of reverse osmosis filtration equipment (Reverse Osmosis System), the largest of which would not fit in a passenger car.

However, there are long lines at the return counter at Costco and Walmart. If you are not good at it, you may have to wait in line for more than 30 minutes. But everyone is standing in line with a nonchalant look on their face. It's just like America.

I see you are being posted next month, that's exciting.
I used to work at a factory too, and I used to have lunch at
① a nearby restaurant
② bread from 7-Eleven ・ lunch boxes
③ the factory canteen
I changed these depending on my mood.
Restaurants were often crowded during lunch breaks and meals were not finished within the break time
so we often ate in the factory cafeteria.
Seven's lunch boxes were boring and bad.
I recommend you bring pickled plums, friquettes, rice, instant miso soup, etc.
to change the menu of the factory cafeteria ！.
The factory cafeteria may have a variety of menu items, but
many of them are too spicy, and the menu items that Japanese can order are limited.
Good luck and enjoy your work.
HIRO

However, you have to change your name as soon as you buy it, and then you have to get insurance, and then it depends on the insurance company. Note ： If you don't have an international license, you can't take the test.

Anyone can buy one without a license, but
please read the driver's handbook if you are driving with a provisional license.

Purchases can be made without a license. It is mandatory to purchase insurance within 30 days after the name change. Failure to do so will result in a fine from the DMV.

Even with a provisional driver's license, there are insurance companies that will let you in if you have a Japanese driver's license, and you can usually possess one.

There are 1 ～ 2 insurance companies that you can get with a Japanese driver's license, but they are eye-poppingly expensive. I recommend that you get an American driver's license before you get car insurance.

I don't know if there is a waiting area or Uber stop, but there is a narrow road that deadends between the Ritz-Carlton and the movie theater, so why don't you walk there ？ It is about a 10 minute walk.

If you are staying on the Big Island for two nights, you will be limited to visiting only one side of the island, but I think you will enjoy both the Kona and Hilo sides of the island. I think the Hilo side is closer to all the tourist attractions, so you can save on travel time.

I lived on Kauai for three years.

Kauai is a great place to see and be seen ？

Kauai Coffee ： This place is closing down at the end of this month.
Hanalei ： It's like a country town.
Princeville ： A new residential area just before Hanalei.
Waimea Eleele ： The soil color is reddish-brown, and
dyed T-shirts using this color are
famous.
Waimea Canyon
Koloa area ： You can see old and new towns.
Lihue area ： There is a harbor and many places to shop.

Well, that's about it. Please go there.
