Price hikes in Japanese food markets are not good ？.

The prices at markets that claim to offer "passionate prices" and the like are in an "all-you-can-eat" state. In Japan, people seem to be willing to raise prices even by a few percent, but Japanese foodstuffs at this market have doubled in price from a little while ago, or even increased by 100 percent, without hesitation. I guess they are trying to make up for the loss of revenue caused by the Corona disaster, but the fact that the number of shoppers has not decreased even at these prices suggests that sales are much higher than before the Corona disaster and revenue is increasing.
Even for locally manufactured and sold products, which should not be so expensive in terms of transportation costs and raw materials, the local Japanese and Japanese-Americans end up buying them no matter how expensive they are, so I feel that they are setting absurd prices in a state of so-called "hiked prices". ？
Of course, they are relatively modest in raising prices for necessities and prominent products because they would be exposed if they raise prices all at once, but even so, they raise prices many times in a short period of time.
When the store first opened after the acquisition, there were parts where I could see the business attitude of a Japanese company with the concept of cheap sales, but I wonder if they are changing their business attitude to one where they carry everything on a large scale, but the prices are high, but you buy it because you need it anyway ？. ？ For those of us who eat mainly Japanese food, I was complaining about the business that makes me want to boycott them, which I cannot do even if I wanted to.

I am not a tidy person so maybe you weren't happy with me, but I think we were very good roommates. You were a good cook, and I really envied you for always having something delicious to eat. You were humble about your country cooking, but I really envied you because I didn't know anything about country cooking or home cooking. I don't even know the name of the side dish you made with greens that goes well with rice, and I regret that I didn't learn how to make it. We used to go to Musician's gatherings and the parties at Teresa's house were so much fun.
I admired your hula dancing on stage, and I invited Danny and Tim to join me in hula dancing lessons, but Danny always made us laugh and the lessons never went anywhere, so all three of us gave up.
I have many happy memories of hula dancing, and I would be happy if you could help me remember them.

Sorry for the off-topic comment.

I was hired for a job and was told that I need proof of hepA vaccination before I can work.
It seems like it would cost quite a bit of money if I got it normally, but is there anywhere I can get it for free
or cheap ？?

I am very concerned about the spots on my face and would like to take the plunge and have them removed at a clinic.
Please let me know if there are any recommended clinics in the Honolulu area.
I would also like to know if you have any experience with spot removal, how much it cost, and how many days it took to be able to wear makeup. I have several spots on my face that are 3-5mm in size and I am very concerned about them.

Also, if you are worried about blemishes, you should not live in Hawaii where the sun shines all year round.

Depending on what kind of blemish it is, it is better to consult a dermatologist than a cosmetic clinic.
In my experience, if it is a small blemish, Tri-Luma cream prescribed by the dermatologist will make it disappear and the area where the blemish was applied will look brighter in 2 weeks. It is not covered by insurance and costs about ＄ 270 per bottle, but it disappears in 2 weeks and is so strong that it is better not to use it continuously, so one bottle is enough. When I used it a few years ago, it was ＄ a little over 200, but when I recently got a prescription to use it again, the price had gone up. So I am now looking at using another brand of cream, although this time it is not as famous and I was told it would take longer to show results. I have been to a beauty clinic called Imperial Facial
for about 900 for a course of 8 sessions ＄ but it didn't work at all. Some of my ex-colleagues say that they were able to lighten the big spots that had been bothering them there for a long time.

Question

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.

I renewed my green card this past January and received it today.
Since I was able to renew without biometrics, I thought I would be able to use the photo from my previous card, but was surprised to see a photo of myself that I don't remember taking at all.
Is this a photo that was taken for a custom or something ？
Anyone recognize it ？?

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.
