It's still an idea.
I guess you could call me a traveltuber ？ Travel is my hobby. I know places that don't make it into the guidebooks, and I'd like to try my hand at live bars at night.

There are a lot of travel YouTubers out there.
There are also a lot of people who go to places that are not listed in travel guides.
It's not about making money, but it's good if you enjoy yourself.
Only a handful of travel YouTubers who post high quality videos can make money.
I hate traveling, but I really like watching videos of someone traveling.
But there are only 1-2 YouTubers whose videos I watch on a regular basis.
The rest have become boring and I've unsubscribed from more and more channels.

Last week a friend of mine was in the exact same situation, he said he would buy it at Walmart for $58 and bring it back to Japan and sell it on Mercari. lol
He is also 2 years old and a booster seat is too small and illegal, so he still needs a car seat, and the cheapest car seat at Walmart is $ The cheapest car seat at Walmart was 57-58 ！ He said he could sell it for a lot of money in Japan and that he would take it home with him even though it would be luggage.

My child used to attend this school, but he transferred to another private school in the middle of the school year. I heard that they did not ask for anything too strict in terms of entrance exam content. However, it was a very religious school, and I don't know if it is now, but at that time, I had the impression that the school devoted a lot of time to religious classes. We are not religious, but the religious atmosphere was so strong that my child began to feel that she was wasting her time here, and the teachers pressured her to get straight A's. （ Since she had been getting straight A's since Kinder, even in the lower grades, the teachers called her out and threatened her if she didn't get straight A's even once. ） The child could not sleep at night, which led to a change of school. Now that my child has graduated from high school, he regularly has the opportunity to interact with graduates from various private schools, and he told me that HBA graduates generally seem to have a lot of school-related stress and are more party-going types. I know several HBA graduates myself, and I remember being surprised to learn that they themselves admitted this. They also said matter-of-factly, "It's well-known that that's what happens when you go to HBA," and I was truly glad that I transferred them to a different school in the middle of the program.

Comparing HBA to Punahou and Iolani is first of all a misnomer.
They are so different that they are not worth comparing.
You can apply anytime and get in. Like TOP, we started HBA from Kinder, but we didn't trust the school at all
The family quality of the students was low, and there was no enthusiasm on the part of the school for the university, so we transferred them to another school in the middle of Elementary.
The academic base in early childhood （ Kinder and Elementary ） is only evident in the middle school ！ We placed our children in Punahou from the middle school, but the academic base in Kinder and Elementary is still too low to keep up with the average level in Punahou.
I was able to get into Punahou from the middle school. The choice of school at an early age is the basis for all future academic achievement. We recommend you to be very careful.

We also easily got into HBA from the middle school.
Elementary was Wai'alae, so I was not a very good student, but I could easily get in from Wai'alae without any tutoring or cramming. But HBA, Merinole, and St. Louis are almost impossible to fail if you only submit an application. Don't worry.

As an addendum, Montessori Community School also admits anyone from Kinder. It is said that every year about 20-30 students are accepted from Kinder, but only one is admitted or not.
Currently, the school said that there are not 10 students per grade level. Moreover, they divide the under 10 students into two classes, so there are less than 5 students in the same grade. I declined because the number of students is too small for my child's education, academic competitiveness, and non-academic nurturing environment, but Kinder and Elementary are one of the schools that you can get into if you apply. Pre is very popular and seems to be hard to get into.

Last year my son was accepted to a Montessori community school, Kinder. About 13 people from my son's pre took the test and all were accepted, but none of them were admitted. The reason is still the facilities in the school building are almost nothing. There is no library, no music, no art, not even a schoolyard, and the place to do PE is in a small concrete space ？ parking ？. The public facilities are better than the private ones and the school is not worth paying for the private ones.
I think that's why the number of students is quite small. …
They claim to be multi-age, but I heard from a parent of a 3rd grader who lives in the same townhouse that unless they are multi-age, there are only 7 students in each grade, and they are all elementary students with siblings.
I heard that until around the time of the Corona Disaster, the percentage of students who passed Punahouiolani was 80%, but in the last few years, the school stopped announcing the number of students who passed Punahouiolani because of the decline in academic performance, with only 2 or 3 students passing Punahouiolani.
He said that has had quite an impact on the school, and that the facilities, coupled with the public and below, have made it a school where everyone from Kinder is accepted.
We turned down both HBA and Montessori and went with another private. You should do a lot of solid research ！

I took another LA Fitness Senior class today.

Today's teacher played 50's ～ 70's hit songs for the jibber-jabbering students, so it was easy for me to get on board. All the hit songs from when I was in middle ・ school and my own body movements match the music.

It's easy to ride, but I have a bad sense of rhythm, and it must look terrible from the outside. But at my age, I don't care how people see me. I'm going my own way. I don't care if it's good for my body. Sweat

If you have a Japanese ID, you can buy it even if you live in USA. I chose Rakuten Mobile, which has the lowest monthly call charges.

Can I use my passport as a Japanese ID? I don't have any family in Japan, so I don't have an address where I can register.

I am currently staying in Japan.
It is easier to exchange money at vending machine like machines in town than to exchange money in Hawaii.

Or, I am a Central Pacific Bank user and can withdraw up to 100,000 yen a day at ATMs in post offices.
I checked the rate and it is a little better than the machine.
I don't recommend you to exchange money at the bank because of high commission.

THE 88 TEMPLES PILGRIMAGE IN SHIKOKU JAPAN

"A Pilgrimage to 88 Pilgrimage Sites in Shikoku"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Qvx4i4EUuM
This YouTube is 2 hours and 37 minutes long in total, so if you don't have time, please watch it several times.

I divided this whole course （ of 88 places in Shikoku ） into about 1/4 of a course and went to Shikoku once a year each time I went back to Japan.

So, in total, I have visited Shikoku 8 times （ for 8 years ）.

↑ As you can see in the URL of
, the first temple in Shikoku is Reizanji （ Ryozenji ）, and you can take an airport bus from Tokushima Airport to JR Tokushima Station.

The whole of Shikoku is "non-electric" except for the streetcars in Kochi City. In other words, diesel cars run all over the country as shown in the first part of the URL ↑. Therefore, the whole of Shikoku feels like a "backwoods" area.

Another scene that makes you feel remote is that old houses and apartments all over Shikoku have "botton" or cistern type toilets, not flush toilets.

As shown in the video #4531, Shikoku consists of four countries, and

it is said that those who go around Shikoku on a pilgrimage do so with the following mind.

In fact, as I approached the final destination, 88th Okuboji Temple, on foot, my eyes were burning.

Awa is the "Dojo of Hosshin" where one's will for ascetic practice is solidified,

Tosa is the "Dojo of Shugyo" where one faces oneself and struggles,

Iyo is the "Dojo of Bosatsu" where one is freed from hesitation,

Sanuki is the "Dojo of Nirvana" where one attains enlightenment after fulfilling a vow.


I am a Mushinist myself, although I speak passionately about the "pilgrimage" to the Buddhist temples in Shikoku.
To put it bluntly, I am a cunning person who is trying to "get the best of" the "teachings" of Buddhism and Christianity.

I haven't made any plans for my trip to Japan yet, but for reference

4/6/2026 ～ 4/16/2026 I searched ANA's website and found the following numbers

.

class is economy, round trip between LAX ⇔ HND. The result was

Dollars $ 1,812.03 in today's Yen ￥ 284,000.

I was there last year at the same time and the fare was $ 1,550 I think.

I think LAX - NRT is a little bit cheaper, but it is too far from the city center.
