For girls who are in the process of getting married

I am a woman living in Hawaii.

I heard from a male friend of mine who is engaged to be married.

He said that girls who are Japanese tourists and are engaged to be married don't know too much about the high cost of living in Hawaii.

You shouldn't say you want to get married, move to Hawaii and become a housewife.

No matter how beautiful you are, how healthy you are, how good your character is, marriage is a life.

Most couples living in Hawaii work together. Even the wives of doctors.

The cost of living is 2-3 times that of Japan. Japan is the only developed country where prices and incomes have remained almost the same for decades. Hawaii is America, so men and women are equal. It is not uncommon to find couples where the wife earns more than the husband.

If you want to have children, you should earn your own money as well as your husband's.

If your husband has already paid off the mortgage, that's still fine, but if you both buy the house and pay for it together, you can pay it off faster and have more credit in your own history in the future.

If the husband dies first, the wife won't even get a survivor's pension until she is in her 60s.

Too few companies will hire a Japanese woman in her 60s who has never worked in Hawaii at all.

Start working in your 20s, 30s, and 40s to gain experience. I used to be a tourist living in Japan, so I would be very happy if I could be of help.

So you get married, regret it, and get divorced.

You finally meet a man who makes the same or more money than you and remarry. Japanese women.

If you live in Hawaii, there are many Hawaii men looking for Japanese women. Regardless of nationality.

Japanese women are popular not only with Asian, Middle Eastern, and mixed, but also with white and black men, so good luck Japanese men ！ ！.

Are white men still popular these days ？
I don't think so in Hawaii.
I feel that there are surprisingly many people who remarry Japanese after divorcing white men.

I guess it's a matter of fate and preference.

Some people have a Japanese husband the first time in Japan and a white husband the second time in Hawaii, and a black husband.

Some people are also white the second time and black the second time.

I have never met a Japanese man living in Hawaii whose wife is not Japanese （ White Black Asian other ）.

I still wonder if many Japanese men are looking for Japanese women.

Yes, I agree.
Japanese women have married and remarried to people of various races, not only Caucasians.

Japanese men have only met Japanese women who are wives.
If there are any men here in Vivinavi who have wives of non-Japanese race
I would be happy to hear various opinions.

Dear Second and Two

Thank you for your reply. I learned a lot.
It is a marriage, isn't it?

But have you married or remarried a white or black man

Treatment is supplementation of deficient iron, dopamine receptor agonists （ Bisifrol, Neupro Patch ） may be used.
If this drug is not very effective, Regunite may be used as an adjunct
if symptoms are only at night, the antiepileptic drugs Rivotril, Lanssen, Gabapen
Regunite in combination may be useful for the uncomfortable, painful type of restless leg syndrome.
Late sleep, caffeine, and alcohol can aggravate symptoms.

Something on the news today about an elderly Hispanic man working at a liquor store who went outside to take out the trash,
got hit by another Hispanic man, fell backwards,
hit his head, and is unconscious and in critical condition.
The picture looks exactly the same as the unidentified Japanese man in San Pedro, with bruises on his eyes, bandages on his head, and in a coma...
The case against the Hispanic grandfather is proven, as he was caught on security camera.
The case of the dead Japanese man,
I think we should search the security cameras in the area where he was lying....
I wonder if the Japanese family is really accepting the case without hesitation.

I also want to know how much it costs

Even if the treatment suppresses the spots,
if you live as usual again,
the sun will make the spots even darker where the skin has become thinner.
Then it would be better to spend money on care
that will not cause spots in the future.

Worst Japanese-American Beauty Salon Experience of My Life

This is a Japanese hair salon introduced on Vivinavi. I asked them to do my hair for my friend's wedding, but I had to wait for hours for the hair to be done, and they were typing emails while they were doing it. Of course, they were late for the ceremony, and the worst part was that the set was completely different from the picture, and in the latter half of the ceremony, my hair was completely untied. The owner of the shop was LA, and the owner of the shop is a Japanese-American. She told us that the owner of the salon has salons in LA and the Bay Area and caters mainly to celebrities, but I never want to go back to a place like this. I am so angry now that I have cooled down because my big day was ruined by this terrible hairdresser. I want to name names here as well. What is the right thing to do in such a case ？ I would like to get some good advice. Thank you very much.

That's terrible. I also contacted a tax accountant who was referred to me here and was treated terribly ・ I would like to put in a review, but he seems to be a small private practice that doesn't appear on yelp or google. I'm not sure what to do about it, but it seems to be a small private business that doesn't appear on yelp or google. I too am trying to figure out what to do about this anger. I keep telling myself that it might be best to forget about it.

I am not a hairdresser, but I am a business owner. I think the way you come across depends on whether you simply want to complain ？ or want an apology ？ or whether a refund would make you feel better ？ or not. From a business standpoint, I wish they would have contacted us first instead of writing directly to Yelp or Google to complain. Writing an anonymous complaint to Yelp or Google may be an outlet for your anger, but it can be a huge blow to a small business. Do you need to go that far ？ I don't think it will solve the underlying problem, since the person reading the review may see you as a malicious complainer. I suggest you contact them directly and talk to the owner first.

I think it will be mid-January at the earliest, so I would like to move in around the beginning of February.

I am looking for a bank that I can use online even after I return to Japan.
・ You can Wire Transfer to Japan online.
・ You can register your Japanese mobile number as the mobile number to receive a code for identity verification by text message. You can also choose to have the code sent to your email address.

For now, these two things are OK, but the latter is not OK for my Bank of America, and the former is not OK for Capital One.
If you know of any bank that can do these two things, I would appreciate it if you could let me know. Best regards.

They can instantly find out to which carrier a US phone number is assigned. And BOA says
Supported Carriers include: Alltel, AT&T, Cellular One, T-Mobile, Virgin Mobile, U.S. Cellular ® , Verizon Wireless. so they are saying that Nextpulus is no good. By the way, google fi as I mentioned earlier is an MVNO of T-Mobile, so it is OK.
I used to have a Citi account, but when I stopped using it for some reason, I was told to close it sooner than expected (about 2 years ？ ） "If you don't use it, I will close your account", and I made the mistake of leaving it alone at that time because it was too much trouble.

I opened a multi-currency account with Wise, connected to Chase and other accounts, and withdraw via ACH （ $ with a 50K/24h limit ）. I think it would be better to compare the two accounts, depending on the amount, wire may have lower fees, but wire also has fees on the US account side, so I think it would be a good idea to include that in the comparison. Identity verification can be done with a photo ID （ my number card, Japanese driver's license, passport, etc. ） at the time of opening an account, and can be done with the application. You can convert to yen at the real rate in real time, and you can keep up to 1,000,000 yen in USD or JPY in your Wise Account and use your debit card to make payments or ATM withdrawals, and you can keep your balance of over 1,000,000 yen for 30 days. > Wise is easy to use for me personally because I can transfer up to 1,000,000 yen at a time ） with no limit on the number of times I can transfer.

Can you recommend a kitchen renovation contractor?

Housing

  • 2023/09/03 10:48

We are considering renovating the kitchen in our condo. It is a small kitchen, so commercial cabinets won't fit. I got a quote from Home Depot for $16,000 for just the cabinets. With countertops, appliances, and the constructor's fee, it will be about $25,000. ∑ (ﾟ Д ﾟ )
Knowing how well thought out and modern Japanese cabinetry is, I honestly don't want to spend this amount on an orthodox cabinet design that hasn't been updated in decades.
Also, Godern cabinet company quoted us less than half the price of Home Depot if we use all the standard ready-made cabinets, but the material inside the cabinets is of a certain quality (the mirror surface is good quality, so it looks good), so it looks like it will not be durable ＆. I am not sure if it is easy to use or not, so I am not sure if I can decide.

So, I would like to hear your experiences.
Please tell us your success stories, failures, recommendations for cabinet companies, constructor companies, etc. ！

In particular, we would like to know about companies that offer Japanese-style cabinet designs inside ！
Thank you very much.

I renovated about 10 years ago using a constructor that a Realtor referred me to.

This is a cabinet shop near Cosco, I chose this place after 3 quotes because it was the cheapest and fastest time frame.

The workmanship was not bad.

I don't know how much it costs now because it was 10 years ago. 1bd room Renovation of kitchen and bathroom cost less than $10,000 at that time.
