When I returned to Japan 2 years ago, I bought a Japanese sim card that I could use all the time, and I used it in my American iPhone
Then I bought a new American iPhone, but the times have changed and you can't put a sim card in it anymore.
I'm going back to Japan in May, so I'm doing a lot of research and I'm getting confused about E sim cards 😅

In Japan, I put my American iPhone in Airplane mode and use it in the U.S. In Japan, I plan to use my iPhone in Airplane mode and use Wi-Fi. And I wonder if it is possible to use the LINE app on my old iPhone with the account I use in the US. Two years ago, I just switched to a Japanese sim card on my American iPhone and LINE was connected normally.

If anyone knows the best way to use two iPhones in this environment, please let me know.
Please do.

E-sim Holafly is recommended.
Please be careful with public WiFi, it is dangerous.

Sim Card ＆ E I don't know much about Simi cards, but in our case, we have three iPhones （ that we usually use in the US. I use LINE installed on my iPhones ） when I go back to Japan by connecting to free public Wifi or Wifi at the hotel or other places where I stay. Also, when my kids went to Japan last year with some friends, they rented a pocket Wifi at the airport （ for about 300 yen per day ？ ） and used it when they needed to connect to it during their stay. Unfortunately, I can't give you advice on that since it was a long time ago when I tried to swap Sim cards like Phone did, but I hope others can give you some good advice.

I think E sim is the easiest.　If you are not confident about setting it up yourself, there are counters at the airport where you can have it installed.

Those of you who have crossed the ocean to come here to Los Angeles and Japan
are always concerned about something related to your travel between Los Angeles and Japan.

If you have anything to say or questions, please feel free to write.
I'll try to write "something" as well.

Example ：
What means do you use to call when you return to Japan?

Which seat on the plane do you prefer, Aisle or Window, front, back,

Which airline do you think has the best food?

Which mode of transportation do you use to get to the local area?

and so on and so on

#4412 Inadvertently,

A month has gone by without a response from anyone.

I assume you have already bought your ticket at your desired price.

If you don't mind, could you tell us what kind of saltiness you had?

Every year I go on a walking pilgrimage in Shikoku in late May when the weather is relatively stable, but

this year I found out that I myself have cancer, so the walking pilgrimage in Shikoku has been shelved.

It has become more difficult to go to Japan itself, but if I get the doctor's permission,

I would like to at least visit the unexplored hot spring areas of another India.

Well, maybe not...

I'm in Japan. Tsukiji is full of foreigners. When I went into a sushi restaurant, most of the customers were gaijin. When I told the guy behind the counter that 90% of the customers were foreigners, he replied that Japanese people don't come here. If you are a tourist, you are welcome to come. But many of the convenience store clerks and hotel room cleaners are also gaijin. I thought it was the same as in the U.S. that gaijin are doing the jobs that Japanese people don't want to do. But I think it is admirable that they can speak Japanese well.

I don't see the point of going to the trouble of hiring a foreign national for a job that anyone can do. I think the visa system should be like in the U.S., where you have to be talented to get a visa. I don't think it's about talent, but more about the reason to hire foreign nationals.

I am a self-proclaimed "moldy" Man who has long passed the "65~" age to participate.

Recently I went to the hospital for stomachache and they found cancer cells as well as H. pylori.

Today I went to the hospital again for cancer treatment and received a prescription for chymotherapy or something.

I am discouraged because the future seems to be in sight, but depending on how things go

I may be able to live for many more years, so I am determined to live a Positive life in every way.

Hang in there, Moldy Man ！

I was recently looking for a side job and noticed what Uber drivers are like.
I only use them a few times a year, and when I do, I talk to some of the drivers and some say they are good, while others say they are not so good.
If anyone is actually an Uber driver, it would be great if you could tell us how many hours you operate and how much money you make and how you feel about it.

Is there anyone in a similar situation ？
・ Don't apologize even if you are at fault, blame the other person
・ All responsibility lies with your partner
・ You may be good but your partner should not do the same
(I When I get angry, they tell me to control my feelings and not to get angry no matter what. But it's okay for my partner to be angry. Because I'm not able to do it.)

I could go on and on counting. I know there are trolls and messages telling me to break up with them, but I'd love to hear real life experiences from people in similar situations.

I have children. Fortunately, my marriage is going well.

I don't think I'd put love first when there are children, either.
However, I wrote this because I thought that forcing a couple to stay together when they are not getting along is bad for the children's psyche after hearing my friend's story.

When I was in middle school, there was talk of my parents divorcing because of my father's infidelity.
My mother decided not to divorce my children until they were grown up, not wanting them to be poor. My mother, who worked hard to raise my children, even though my father still pushed her around, is still someone I truly admire. I have come full circle and now take care of my sick father. I think it's not bad to go through rough times. Maybe it's old-fashioned, but there are good times and bad times. I thought that only couples who choose not to separate can know what the future holds for the rest of their marriage.

I have a very sweet Asian boyfriend, but I get the impression that he is not thinking about our future or becoming a family. I am not sure if I want to marry him or not due to our different values. I am feeling impatient because of my age since I am not young, but it is also very difficult to meet Japanese people here in America. I am not sure if I can go out with him. I am not sure if it is safe to go out with a Japanese person.　Has anyone else experienced something similar?

Hello.
If you are not sure, you should check with him or ？
if you can't consider yourself married to him,
you should leave him immediately.

Do you want to go back to being friends?
You don't want male friends ？

There are many ideas.

You may not decide on one partner who is not married
Poly.
Poly should be with other Poly's because it is less cheat

If you trust your instincts and act on them, you won't regret it.

Spring break is coming up, what are you guys doing ？

My husband is working, so we are spending time together as mother and daughter. But every time we spend it, we don't really do anything special and I feel like it's a waste of time.

My daughter has calmed down since she started elementary school, so I think it would be nice to go away, but I am worried about her, so we always end up not going.

How do you all spend your time ？?

It was decades ago when we were Topi's age.

We were lucky enough to have good pocketbooks then and bought a house. Many of our neighbors had children in the lower grades of elementary school, and many of them went to the same elementary school, so we, as newcomers, were able to get to know our neighbors easily through our children.

Other parents also felt safe because their children were playing in their neighbors' yards and on nearby streets.

Sorry, for all the useless talk. I still live in a quiet residential neighborhood off a busy main street with heavy car traffic, and I'm sure there is one in several homes with elementary school children, but I don't see kids playing outside in the street. Have times changed a lot, or are the kids also playing on the internet inside the house?

Yes, if your children can play online, let them play with their friends from the same school through the Internet. You will have to monitor the content from time to time, though. In addition, you could let them go to the friend's house or ask them to come over.

As I write this, I realize that times have changed dramatically. My granddaughter is now going to UC San Bernardino, which is over 2 hours away by car or train; UCLA was too difficult and Community College, which is in a walkable city, was too low.

Nice to meet you ^^
I know it's hard to know how to spend every school vacation.
We also have a 1st grader, and like the Lord, my husband is working so it's just the two of us. I've already decided that I'm not going to spend time with my child and I'm just going to be lazy everyday lol My child is usually busy with school, so I thought it would be nice to have a change of pace once in a while.
We often watch movies together or draw pictures. After that, we have picnics at the park, hang out at the mall, etc.
Lately she seems to be interested in baking sweets, so I'm thinking of making a cake or something for this spring vacation.
Wishing you a happy spring vacation ♪!

♪ Making cakes is nice ！ It is good to do something that we usually want to do but haven't been able to do yet, rather than saying we have to go outside ！

I always thought I had to take them somewhere, but it is true that there are things we can do together at home. ！ I would like to try making a cake with them because they have been wanting to make a cake too.

As for picnics, I forgot that we used to make lunch boxes and eat them in the back yard when we had the Corona Disaster, which was a picnic of sorts. It was nice to be able to enjoy a different day in a nearby park and do something we don't always do like that ！ Thank you 😊.

Regarding vaccinations required for preschool enrollment from Japan

I have a son who will be 3 years old in April.
He is still in Japan and we plan to enter Hawaii in mid-June to start preschool in July.
We are still undecided on when we will be able to get insurance for our son, so we are planning to get the necessary vaccinations in Japan before entering the country.

So I am having trouble finding out about this.
① The vaccine for Hepatitis A is 2 doses of Aimgen approved in Japan
→ I will get an additional dose at a pediatrician in Hawaii after 6 months
Will Aimgen be recognized as a vaccine for Hepatitis A ？

② MR is I have been vaccinated, but not for Otafuku.
Should I give MMR ？ Is it OK to give only mumps ？

I have inquired at preschools and Japanese outpatient clinic for vaccines for overseas travel but still do not know.
If you have any experience or know more about this, I would love to know.

Thank you very much.

My child has started attending a public middle school in Honolulu. I am honestly concerned about his academic ability as it does not seem that he will have homework every day like he did at Elementary. I am looking for a school that supports schoolwork like a Japanese tutoring school. I would prefer a place where I can go face-to-face if possible, but online is also fine. If you have any recommendations, please let me know.

She liked it very much, the teachers were very kind and enthusiastic.
She got A's thanks to her teacher ！
The price is reasonable and I recommend it!
