My child is still very young so it will be a while before he/she attends, but I am looking into it. I think the most famous Japanese language school is Rainbow Gakuen, but what is the difference between Rainbow and Sakura Japanese Language Preschool that I found while researching ？ I know that Sakura is from 2 years and 10 months to about 5 years old ？ and Rainbow has a kindergarten (from what age, I'm not sure) to middle school.
Either way, these are the only ones that I know of. In any case, these are Japanese language supplementary schools, not like pre-schools where you leave your child ？ I wonder if most people who send their children to these schools send them to both pre-schools and Japanese language schools ？ My old boss's child used to say Rainbow only on Saturday I think I read somewhere that if a child cannot speak Japanese to some extent, he/she cannot even enroll in Rainbow. Is it difficult to get in ？
Various questions themselves are vague, but if you know anything about these facilities, please let me know.

Hello ！
I am a newcomer who just landed in Hawaii 3 days ago ！
I am here to work for a couple of years for a job.

Hawaii is a very nice place, but …
I still don't know what's right and left and I'm still worried.

To those of you who live in Hawaii, could you please tell me of a Japanese community where I can exchange various information
？
I think it would be a waste if I stay in Hawaii ！
I would appreciate it very much. Thank you very much.

Nice to meet you ！
There are probably many different genres of Japanese communities in Hawaii.
I don't know what you recommend because I don't know your gender and generation, HARU. There are many Christians and Soka Gakkai in Hawaii. There are also many network business invitations. There's a lot of interaction between moms and dads. Many people are in the real estate business.
I meet Japanese acquaintances when I go to izakaya.

I think everything is like friends, so as you make friends through common interests
you will meet various groups and friends.
I hope you enjoy living in Hawaii!

I have a question for those on the same plan.

Is it correct that it is 0.25 per minute $ to call a landline in Japan from Hawaii ？
and is there a charge for the other party as well ？
is this the same amount to call a landline in Japan or is this the same amount when calling a Japanese landline in Japan? ？

One more thing, when I travel to Japan with this phone, will it be
as easy as before to connect to a local carrier and use international roaming ？

If you know, please help. Thank you very much.

That's about the price. I call my mother every day and it's never too expensive or difficult.
I don't think she calls the other end. I have only called landlines.

T-Mobile: Welcome to Japan! Your plan includes coverage that gives you unlimited data On Us now at faster speeds up to 256Kbps, plus unlimited texts at no extra cost. Calls are $ 0.25/min. Want high-speed data and unlimited calling? Get an International Pass: t-mo.co/intl-pass1 Enjoy your stay!

When you arrive in Japan and turn on your phone, you will get this message.

70s. I have to go to the Los Angeles Court of July Duty （ Federal ）

I heard that the bus leaves from the terminal in front of the Home Depot in Gardena, but I have to be there

at 7:30am to get to the Court. I would like to take a reliable means.

By the way, I have never used bus, taxi or uber.

Which means of transportation should I take ？

I have searched Google and found that the driving distance to Los Angeles is 45 minutes.


Any advice would be appreciated.

I used to commute by bus to avoid car traffic to downtown in the past, but the bus is surprisingly easy. If you're coming from Torrence, you can take the Torrence Line 4x, which is a Metro 910 ＆ 950 （ I used to use myself ） it's much more empty and a bit cleaner on the bus.

Torrance bus4X is indeed empty and clean, but only in the morning and evening, and only once an hour.
After Covid, there is a shortage of drivers, and you may have to wait up to 2 hours for more cancelled flights, so if you have to be on time, J Line 910 or 950 are by far the most frequent.

On sharing food in restaurants

Question

When I go to a restaurant with 4 ， 5 of my mom friends, we all share what we order, but the more upscale the restaurant, the smaller the plates are.

We get sick of having to share two small spoonfuls.

Of course, I enjoy talking with my mom friends during meals.

Lately I have started to finish dinner first before going out to eat, am I crazy for doing this ？?

Socializing is important, but restaurant prices are higher these days and you tip. If you could afford it, you wouldn't be posting like this.

You're talking about the difficulty of having a standard for how to order when sharing food with 5 or 6 people. ？ It's not about being hungry because you can only eat the same amount of the same food, even though you eat different amounts and have different tastes ？ I don't know from this post whether Topix can afford to live or not. I can't tell from this post whether he can afford it or not.

I am trying to buy an iphone 14 pro max 512gb on Amazon
The only model in the color I want is the one marked (Renewed ）.
What are the risks of buying this one ？
Is it something I should not do ？ Please tell me.

I am buying this for my daughter's birthday present
who is always taking pictures and videos with her iphone. but 。。。。
I wonder what the risk is in buying a Renwed, not my daughter's favorite color, but
I'm wondering if it would be better to buy one that doesn't say "Renewed".

If you are familiar with iphones, I would appreciate it if you could help me.

How to call a Japanese landline from Hawaii on your cell phone

Question

I use a prepaid account with a company called MYSTAR GOLD to call Japan.
I have been using this company for a long time and have no problems, but from the time I first started using them until now
the company name has changed about twice. I think the first one was called MYSTAR123.
I decided to recharge my account because my balance was getting low and when I looked for the website
I found that the website was gone.
Periodically I get text messages from this company saying 50% off or sale if I recharge today
so it seems I can recharge if I call them.
However, I am concerned because the website that used to be there is gone.
I would like to know if anyone has used this company and recharged over the phone and had any problems.
Or what other methods （ or companies ） do you recommend for calling Japan?
Thanks in advance.

I buy a PennyTalk prepaid card at Longs. Each time I buy a card for $ 25, it says 4 ¢ per minute for calls to Japan. I rarely have the opportunity to make international calls to Japanese phones, but I always have it on hand for calls to hospitals and other places where I can't reach someone without a phone call.

I am on Skype's Japan Unlimited Min Landlines plan. I pay about $ 11 every 3 months and I think the annual fee is even more discounted. That's what you get with Unlimited. Useful for calling my parents' house. When I call from Skype, I just run the Skype app on my phone and call directly from there to a landline in Japan （ 81- number. ）. It's easy and convenient.

In my case, I would prefer to use
a prepaid card rather than paying ＄ 11 every 3 months since I only call Japanese landlines 3-4 times a year.
but I will refer you to it. Thank you very much.
