Prices, how are they really ??

I am thinking of going to Hawaii for a 3 week vacation. I can stay at a friend's house and I found a cheap airline ticket, but the problem is the cost of living.

I understand that the cost of living in Hawaii is about 1.5 times that of Japan due to inflation, but is that really the case overall? Even if I try to live a frugal life, are the basic living expenses such as supermarkets, cafes, transportation, etc. expensive ?

For example, does it cost more than $10 for a cup of coffee + and a tip just to work in a café ??

Prices, I think they are starting to settle down.

A cup of coffee at a Cafe is not $ 10.

A cup of coffee at Honolulu Coffee Experience Center
Iced coffee is $ 6.

Starbucks would be $ 5 or so.

If it was a hotel cafe, it would be like that, including tip.

I think some of the information is wrong. I think the reason is that
they are trying to discourage
travel to the U.S. by saying that the U.S. has a high inflation rate.

I don't believe much information from people who only see Waikiki
. They are giving out some pretty ridiculous information.

Japan was too cheap, so I guess they finally got the price right
.

The weak yen is also having an effect.

It is not uncommon for an egg costing 900 yen in Japanese yen to be the same
in US dollars.

Eggs and other $ 3 or less prices are coming back.

Well, you can take the Waikiki tipsters for what they are
it is what it is.

It used to be that Hawaii was expensive, now NYC is
the most expensive, SF, LA, etc., and Honolulu
is cheaper than SF.

Don't put too much trust in bullshit information.

Thank you all !

Mr. Koji
I had seen one flyer from a supermarket, but it is very helpful to have several !

HonoluluWaikiki
I see. I also heard people talk about the high cost of living, but it doesn't seem that different from when I was there before. ・ ・ ・ ? I remember my last city in the US was like this, too. ? I was uncertain and asked a question.

Restaurants and such have been expensive for a long time.

Thank you very much for your help ! I will consider going there as long as I can drink coffee !.

My child's preschool will be closed for two weeks or longer due to construction work that will suddenly start next Monday the 10th. We are in a bind because we are both working. Is there any preschool or daycare that can take them from 8:00am to 6:00pm on short notice ? If the cost and location are suitable, we would like to request it. Please let me know if you know of any.

I understand you are in a hurry, but shouldn't you state your preferred area first? I don't even know where you are, so I don't see how I can write information I don't think anyone wants to waste time responding to you.

My parents-in-law own a cemetery in Kaneohe. I was fed up with the funeral company at my father-in-law's funeral. The funeral home operates the cemetery, so those who own the cemetery have only one choice if they want to be buried here ?
Is that how it is ??

Portable Air Conditioner

Nice to meet you. I am currently living in a rental condo, but it is hot and I need air conditioning, so please tell me about portable air conditioners.
The living room lanai has four sliding glass doors, the left and right sides are fixed and the two in the middle are pulled from the left and right sides to meet in the middle
window ? door ?.
When I look at portable air conditioners on Amazon and other places that are labeled as having a window kit, they are usually the
type with the hose coming out of a small window and the window kit can be fixed, but ours has a large window ? and a sliding glass door ?. But ours is a large window with a sliding glass door and it is aligned in the middle. I would like to know if anyone has used a portable air conditioner on a
window ? or door ? of this type, how it can be installed, and if there is a Window Kit that can be adjusted for larger windows ? or doors ? or
. I would like to know if there is a Window Kit that can be adjusted to larger window and door and sizes, and most importantly, if the Window Kit can be inserted between both doors when the door is closed, can it be fixed without tape
and after use can the door be simply opened and the Window Kit inserted be removed?
Also, how effective is the portable air conditioner at cooling the air ? as well as the Split AC?
I know I'm asking a lot of questions, but please tell me.

I'm thinking of looking for a water cooler ? or a cold air conditioner ? but I want to use it in Hawaii
on a humid plus hot day and I'm worried about humidity...
I'm not very coherent Sorry for the sentence...,

Hello ! We have a similar Sliding Door, but we are very happy with our portable AC.
You are on a high floor ? then you only use it a few days a year ?
then I don't think you need to install a Split AC. It is convenient for storage because you can extend it only on the days you use it and make it smaller afterwards. The hose is a little bit in the way though.

I live in Hawaii.

I am about to buy a new laptop.

I was wondering if you guys could tell me which store in Hawaii ( US online ) or Japan

you bought it from ?

why Japan is better and why US ( Hawaii ) is better. I would be very happy.

Please do so !

A, most things you might take on a trip, such as a PC, are now DUAL VOLTAGE. ( I think it says something like 100v-240v. )
Electric toothbrushes such as Sonicare can be bought in either country.
So there is no problem with the voltage whether you buy it in Japan or in the US.
However, sometimes the shape of the plugs of American products are different
so you may need a conversion plug for that ? or so.

Halo-san A

Thank you very much for your reply.

I was thinking that it would be better to buy something in Yen that can be bought in Japan because of the weak Yen and strong US dollar, but

if a PC bought in Japan is not guaranteed in the US, it is still better to buy in the US.

Very helpful.

I am of the school of thought that I buy things from Japanese manufacturers in Japan. Many major electronics stores in Japan will answer your questions in detail, so you don't have to worry when you buy, and when problems arise, you can solve them by doing a Google search in Japanese.

I understand that many countries are involved to make one product, but I still buy products from Japanese manufacturers in Japan to support Japan because it used to be the main production in Japan.

More than 15 years ago, when I purchased a Dell laptop computer in Japan, I told them I planned to use it overseas and was introduced to their overseas warranty support, so I followed their advice and enrolled in their overseas warranty plan.
In fact, when my laptop went bad while I was living in the US, I contacted support and a representative came to my home and gave me free support since it was under warranty.

I am currently using a Let's Note that I purchased in Japan. I asked at the time of purchase, but Panasonic did not offer overseas warranty support.

I am not sure about the current situation with Dell since I haven't used them for a long time now, but I just searched and it seems that Dell and HP still offer overseas warranty support.
I think it would be a good idea to make a comprehensive comparison in Japan, including the possibility of purchasing one from a manufacturer that offers overseas warranty support.

I live in Honolulu.

I pay $85 per month for internet wifi at home with Spectrum.

Tmobile advertises the same 5GWifi for $50 per month.

Has anyone switched their home internet from Spectrum to Tmobile ?

Can you still view Youtube and computers and connect at the same speed ?

Experience and your area of residence.

Thank you very much !

Mai,

Thanks for the valuable information.

I see that the signal strength is affected by the weather.
By the way, I would appreciate it if you could tell me
approximately where you live, or if you live near the antenna, as much as you can.

It is on a hillside near Kahala. Depending on where the antennas are ?, the connection will be different, but T-mobile has a lot of antennas cuz it's relatively easy to get a connection. If you go to a store, they can check the connection in that area from your address.

Mai,

sorry for the late reply here.

Thanks again for the detailed information.
I am in McCully ・ Moiliili area.
I looked at T-mobile's 5G map before and the signal strength looked good.

I am currently using Hawaiin Telcom internet,
I called customer service when I renewed and managed to get a discount, $ 50/mo.
However, I think the speed will be in the slow category, so I'm thinking that T-mobile is a better deal if I pay the same price,
and I don't have to pay the higher cost after the subscription benefit discount, so I might as well switch.
I'm thinking that I might.
