About living in Hawaii. I have a question for those who live or have lived in Hawaii. In comparing life in Hawaii and Japan, what do you think are the advantages and disadvantages of Hawaii over Japan, and what do you think are the advantages and disadvantages of Japan over Hawaii ? Would you like to live in Hawaii again ? If you currently live in Hawaii, would you like to stay in Hawaii or return to Japan?
If you live in Hawaii now, do you want to live in Hawaii forever? This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

Good things about Japan
clean overall
many responsible companies
cheap
few homeless, strange people on the streets
good indoor entertainment.
Good things about Hawaii
Easy, don't worry too much about anything
Things are often easy
Flexible
Many kinds of food sold in supermarkets (from super healthy food to junk food)
Many cheerful and pleasant people
Good sense of humor
Nice climate, you can wear short sleeves, shorts and beasan all year round
Bad things about Japan
Too strict about many things, you have to care about many thingsToo many things to care about
Too many germaphobes
Same chain restaurants and food
Lack of flexibility since the late Heisei period
Fewer and fewer facilities and parks to play, and more and more boring shopping malls and townhouses
No sense of humor, especially after 2010's
Economy has been stagnant since the bubble economy, no new and attractive things are being created these days. Technology is also stagnant. Foreign countries are ahead of us.
Prices are rising, but salaries are not rising much. When I go abroad due to the weak yen, I feel that things are very expensive.
Prostitutes are on the rise, and inbound tourism is worsening public safety.
Bad points about Hawaii
Many dirty places. There are many homeless people and strange people, but I think it is getting better and better these days.
The removal of pay phones, bus tickets, etc. make it hard for analog people to live.
Prices are high.
Insects are abundant.
There are no four seasons, so winter sports and other activities are almost impossible to enjoy.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

I have lived in Hawaii for less than 30 years. As you have said, I feel that medical care in Hawaii is definitely more humane. I had a simple surgery in Japan, but the doctor was very poor, and when I complained of severe pain after the surgery, he would not listen to me, saying, "You have to put up with this. It was very painful that they did not listen to me. Here, even during surgery with local anesthesia, they always say, "If you feel any pain, please let us know immediately. Also, when I broke my bone in Japan and was taken care of at a hospital, they did not give me a proper cast, and the doctor in charge just gave me a flimsy plastic cast without even looking at me for a month ( I went for a follow-up visit, but it didn't last ). When I returned to Hawaii to see a specialist, he told me, "You can't heal properly with such flimsy plastic. I had to start all over again. Even though the medical cost is high, I feel that Hawaii is a safe and reliable place to receive proper care. As Mr. Newtouch said, there are no physical examinations here, but there are some tests that are recommended when you reach a certain age, so I take those and also ask my doctor for a very detailed blood test once a year.

Aloha ! If you can afford it, I think the best ( ideal ) is to go back and forth between Japan and Hawaii. In Hawaii, you can relax and enjoy the slow life, and the climate is perfect. I don't remember ever catching a cold in Hawaii. But when I get tired of it, I go back to Japan to live in the city life, and when I come back after a few months, everything feels fresh again.
If you are going to live in one or the other all the time, it depends on the person.
"Hawaii"
Rent is expensive ( About 3 times as expensive as in Japan for the same specs, not many new apartments )
No plastic surgery ( Hyaluronic acid etc. )
No saunas, super public baths, etc. ( If you like this in Japan )
Not many places to walk ( From Waikiki, only two courses )
Hawaii Medical Choice Act ( I would use this if I had to )
"Japan"
Many people are impatient (. If you say "eh-too" on the phone and pause for a moment, they will say "moshi moshi moshi" ? but in Hawaii they will wait )
we are like an immigrant nation ( in the US it has always been the case but in Japan they are resistant to it. Chinese people walking around on the phone talking loudly )
Extremely hot in summer ( The temperature is getting hotter every year, often over 35 degrees. )
Fashion sense is one of the best in the world ( Many Japanese who have lived in Hawaii for a long time become careless and tacky in their appearance. I am often surprised to find out that they are Japanese )
I am sure there are more, I will add more later.
How about you guys ??This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

Everything is the best in Japan. The infrastructure in the U.S. sucks, everyone is too slow, there are too many idiots who can't keep time, there are too many egos, things that are commonplace in Japan don't go well here, and the only good thing about the U.S. is that you can eat Weed without getting caught. I'd still rather be in LA. It's all over in Hawaii.

Mr. Hawaii Concession
Then why don't you leave?I have the impression that many Japanese are biased in their thinking. There is a discriminatory attitude toward foreigners, and even if their opinions are correct, I think they tend to exclude them if they feel that they do not agree with them. In this respect, I think China is still more fair. This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation.

A local community center or senior center might be a good start. They may have volunteers and staff who speak Japanese. Searching the Internet is also a good way to find out more. A search for "Torrance Japanese social worker" should turn up several resources. You might also look for programs and support groups especially for seniors.

I have a milkweed plant that seems to have been in a seed mix I planted in my garden a long time ago, but
unbeknownst to me, many Monarch butterfly caterpillars have taken up residence and are eating the leaves.
I counted them and found that there were more than 15 of them and they were eating so much that
all the leaves will be gone before they all turn into chrysalis.
I thought they would eat crown flower leaves too, so I got some from a neighbor and brought them to their heads, but
they didn't look at them at all.
I have sown some seeds from the blooms so far, but I don't think I will make it in time, because they haven't germinated at all.
I went to CityMill this afternoon, but they did not sell milkweed.
I will try McCully's Nursery tomorrow.
I would be happy to hear from anyone who has information on where it is sold here, or where it grows wild, or who is willing to give me some from their garden

About 2 weeks ago,
it was at Lowe's in Waikele.
It was a sapling with pink flowers.
I wanted to buy it but it was expensive ~ and I gave up
I could buy the seeds on Amazon.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

If Lowe's in Waikele has them, there might be some in Honolulu!
Fortunately, there was a person who gave me a pot this time, but maybe that might not be enough
I'll go to Lowe's then.

Vivinavi NashvilleHigh School Student Volunteers Wanted!

Super Kokosei, a volunteer group of high school students, is looking for new volunteers.
One more step is a high school based program to help children who are trying their best to make a new life in America.
We have two programs: a read aloud program to help the children get used to speaking English, and a homework help program to help them do their homework in Japanese.
The children who become our students range in age from middle school elementary school students to junior high school students, and their English levels vary. High school students who are fluent in Japanese can volunteer in the Homework Help Program, while high school students who are fluent in English can volunteer in the Read Aloud Program, whichever suits their style.
By continuing with weekly 30-minute sessions once a week for each week, service hours can also be easily accomplished to reach your goals.
You can also develop leadership skills while volunteering.
If you are interested, please register as a volunteer on our website. We will arrange an information session for you.
