Looking back at the World Cup, Japan ended up with just one win in four matches.
There were some who called this the strongest team ever, so expectations were high, but the fact that they didn’t even make it to the Round of 16 means they weren’t really that strong after all.
In my opinion, the fact that all the “genius-type” players were sidelined played a major role.
Specifically, I’m thinking of Mitoma, Kubo, and Minamino.
If they’d had even one player with that kind of genius or charisma, the outcome might have been different.

Most of this trip to Japan was also spent in Tokyo.

We went to Kaminarimon-dori in Asakusa to buy sweatshirts with hiragana characters on them as souvenirs, especially for Segare and Totsan, both of whom are of Totsan age.

However, it was the day of the annual Sanja Festival in Asakusa. So, the Nakamise street was so crowded that foreign tourists and others could not walk there properly.

It was also lunch time and all the diners and restaurants were full. Finally, I found a small restaurant and peeked in, only to find that a couple of oriental tourists had just finished eating and were leaving, so I was lucky to get in.

I wonder what was on the menu. I'm too late in life to remember. I have a vague memory of eating cold tokoroten as well. Even that simple thing was served with nostalgia.

I remember eating kanten and tokoroten.

Whether by foot, bicycle, car, or any other means of transportation, a pilgrimage to any of the 88 sacred sites in Shikoku is called an "ohenro" (pilgrimage).

Since 2009, every time I travel to Japan for a week ～ I visit Shikoku for about 10 days and walk around the 88 sacred sites on my own. I have been visiting Shikoku in parts, which is called "kiri-uchi", and visiting all 88 sacred sites in one trip, which is called "tsumi-uchi". Over the past 10 years, the number of "foreign" pilgrims from Japan has increased considerably. The walking pilgrimage in Shikoku is probably the best way to immerse oneself in "Japan" itself. Quite a few foreign pilgrims seem to have experienced the "Camino de Compostera San Tiago" （ in Spain, ） I think this is correct.

But now that I am 82 years old, I am starting to show some signs of old age, and my wife has told me to stop going on the Shikoku walking pilgrimage alone. I would love to walk around Shikoku again with my feet. So, I went to YouTube and watched the following videos and felt like I was "walking" the pilgrimage myself.

There are various ways to visit the 88 Sacred Sites of Shikoku. Options include sightseeing buses and private cars, but if you want to rely on your own physical strength, you can choose to travel by bicycle (typically a road bike) or on foot, relying solely on your own two feet.

In my case, back in 2009, a friend I’d known since high school in Japan sent me a TV program about “Ohenro”—the pilgrimage to walk the Shikoku 88 Sacred Sites.

The moment I saw it, I thought, “I want to go to Shikoku.”

While browsing the internet, I stumbled upon ・ The Ventures’ ♪ “Walk Don’t Run” ♪.

That brings back memories—apparently it was a hit in 1964. I think I was in high school back then. A show called “Electric Guitar Battle” was really popular on TV, and I used to be glued to it. But just watching wasn’t enough—I ended up going to a record&music store and buying the cheapest electric guitar that was all the rage at the time.

An electric guitar requires an amp (with a speaker), but I didn’t have enough allowance for one. Since I already had two DIY tube mono amps, I repurposed those instead.

The intro starts in A minor, and I kept repeating “ja-ja-jan, ja-ja-jan, ja-ja-jaaan” over and over, trying to memorize it.

The current temperature in the shade outside my house is 82°F (28°C).

82°F is on the cooler side; when it gets hot, it can sometimes exceed 100°F.

Well, here in inland LA, the temperatures are high, but the humidity is low, so it’s manageable to be outside.

Today, I was digging up the ground in the backyard to pull weeds. The type of weed is called crabgrass—it’s the toughest kind.

If I didn’t have ornamental plants growing there, I’d spray it with a powerful herbicide specifically designed for this weed, but I can’t do that.

I could hire a gardener, but since I’m retired and have all the time in the world, I should just take care of the yard myself—but I’m lazy at heart, so that doesn’t work out either.

I’m having a hard time with crabgrass. It blooms with small yellow flowers. I’m thinking of building a studio on half of my yard. Since I’d be covering it with concrete anyway, I might as well turn it into a rental unit. $ It’s ridiculous to hire someone at 20 an hour just to pull it out—it just grows back anyway. It was cold, so I didn’t check the garden, and before I knew it, it had spread like wildfire. I treat it as an hour of daily exercise.

I’ve been diligently killing crabgrass, so there isn’t much left.

I’m also tempted to expand half of the front yard into the living room.

Every week, a trash can big enough for two people gets filled with tree branches, grass, and other debris. I have 14 fruit trees. I regret digging up the lawn when I was younger to plant flowers and trees, but it’s really soothing.

Hanaki Retiree,

＞ Every week, a trash can big enough to fit two people is filled with tree branches, grass, and other debris.

It must be a huge amount for that trash can to get completely full.

I imagine it takes a lot of effort just to cut back all that unwanted vegetation.

At my place, the area is covered with large, bushy leaves from the Grand Cover grass that looks nice, but I’m worried because crabgrass has spread all over the ground underneath.

Instead of skimping and trying to save the “Grand Cover” grass, I’m thinking of growing a small amount of it elsewhere and treating the entire area with crabgrass killer. I guess this will be a year-long project.

Once crabgrass gets big, it takes the strength of a burly man to pull it out. As an elderly woman, I usually give up after about ten tries. When I go for a walk, I see spots where the lawn has lost the battle to crabgrass and looks absolutely miserable, but I suppose I just have to ignore it. I guess the only option is to use herbicide. I sprayed some on the crabgrass, but the surrounding grass died too. It really does work. Since I’m retired, I’m just pulling them out little by little.

I see from ABC's link that Punahou has an advantage in higher education. We have seen the list of schools in Punahou first, so we appreciate the comparison. Thank you for sharing this information.

We took the middle entrance exam and were accepted to Punahou waitpool Iolani and paid the deposit to Iolani, but luckily we received a call from Punahou waitpool yesterday. It was also a factor in my decision to go with Punahou. Thank you very much. I had heard that Punahou has more affluent families.

Wow ！ Iolani has zero ⁇ from Harvard, Princeton, MIT, and Stanford ！
I thought there were a few Iolani who went to MIT every year.
I thought there were a few people going to MIT every year in Iolani. UC schools like UCLA and UC Berkeley are not as common as in Punahou, but UC San Diego, Davis and Irvine are more common.
My son is studying for the middle school entrance exam, and Tutor told me that the SSAT passing line for middle school is also 10% higher than Punahou.
Iolani is also good for Kinder because it's easy to get in, but if you look at their graduation record, … it's not as good as Punahou.
Punahou is still a good choice.
Thanks for letting us know the latest status of Iolani.

My daughter graduated from Iolani. Naturally I was a fan of Iolani.
After hearing your opinions, I looked into it in detail. I can conclude that Punahou and Iolani are the best choice for Punahou.
Looking at the situation in Kinder today, it will not change in the next ten years. No, it is likely that the difference will be even greater.
Conversely, if you cannot pass Punahou, Iolani is the only choice.
Even though we are taking the Kinder exam, in the end we want to get them into a good college.
In the U.S., college entrance exams are based on school grades, teacher recommendation letters, essays, interviews, etc.
I applied to 11 schools, 3 were memorial exams ？
2 were stop-losses, and as a result, I received acceptance letters from 7 schools.
I failed the 3 schools that the school said I couldn't go to. The one school I didn't want to go to even if I was accepted was also a no-go.
I passed all the other schools that I thought I might be able to get into.
I have the impression that Iorani's support for university entrance exams was very good.
I was told that it was impossible, but it was still impossible.
The problem was just beginning: tuition and living expenses.
There are merit-based and need-based scholarships.
Families who go to Punahou or Iolani are unlikely to have need-based.
Every college has given me merit-based scholarships. But 1 ． 50,000 ～ 2 ． $50,000.
Education ： about $70,000, living expenses ： about $20,000, I can't do very well.
State universities have lower tuition, but if you are not a US citizen, you will not get preferential treatment in California.
I know there are many people whose only option is UH for these reasons.

I will write some more to add.
If you want to go to college in the Mainland, you need at least $70,000/year.
This also goes up every year.
If this is not financially feasible for you, you should not choose Punahou or Iolani in the first place ？
There are 12796 students at UH. That's about 3200 students/year.
There are about 50 people in total who go to UH from Punahou and Iolani.
Mid-pack and others combined would not be 100 people.
In other words, an estimated 3,100 are enrolled from Public.
I think there is an option to go to UH while getting top grades at Public instead of choosing Punahou or Iolani from the start.
This would save about $400,000 over 12 years.

If you are accepted to the college you apply to, you will be notified of the cost and the scholarship you will receive after the acceptance letter.
I thought I would get a few scholarships even on a need-based basis.
In fact, it was merit-based only.

In the end, I had the painful experience of convincing my daughter, who was accepted, that it was financially impossible.
The good thing about going to Iolani is that I got accepted to a lot of good colleges even though I couldn't go, and I made a lot of good friends.

Indeed, a certain number of students from Punahou and Iolani go to UH each year.

Many then transfer to prestigious universities or go to prestigious graduate schools.

I don't have data, but my sense is that Punahou and Iolani graduates are far more likely to do so than Public graduates.

My child attended MCS in preschool. When it was time to go from preschool to kinder, I took the Punahou and Iolani exams and failed both.
They did not stay at MCS and moved to another school. 8 students from MCS Pre took the Punahou Kinder exam and 3 were accepted. Iolani had 4 students take the test and 2 were accepted. I had heard that Kinder had a high turnout, but we did not even get an alternate at all.
minami's story inside MCS, I heard it many times in my 2 years of pre. （ LOL ） Indeed, ！
many parents of MCS alumni have their children attending or have several siblings attending, so there is some kind of false "internal MCS agaea myth" being spread ！
Punahou likes MCS.................. （ lol ）
The actual percentage of students going to Punahou and Iolani is much lower than the 78% on the website. One of my co-workers has a child who failed the 4th Punahou exam from MCS and was moved up from the 7th Punahou Waitlist and is in the bottom 20% of Punahou students. I heard that some of my friends who entered Punahou from MCS are struggling to reach the average. I think they are the same age as your child.

The preschool was good, including the teachers. However, I think that Elementary has been slipping away to other schools not only because of the facilities, but also because of the quality of the teachers, the decline in academics, and too few students in the same grade level. I am glad I moved my child from Kinder to another school and put her in an environment full of classmates in the same grade level. The Montessori pedagogy itself is only adaptable from age 1 to 6, so I'm not sure there is any point in being at Montessori after that. The only Montessori elementary in Hawaii is MCS because Montessori education is not adapted in elementary.
However, the preschool didn't teach much academically, but my child enjoyed it very much, so I have no regrets ！.

My son graduated from MCS and went from Middle to Punahou and graduated last year. He is now attending a state college in the Mainland.
Oh no, you can't compare Punahou to MCS. To be clear, MCS graduates have a very hard time getting to the top in Punahou.
The "pure gold Punahou kids" （ from Kinder ） are almost always at the top. At Punahou, we call the kids from Kinder "Punahou Kids".
80% of the students who went on to the Ivy League and the most prestigious colleges were also from Kinder.
MCS is a Montessori school, so academics are appropriate, and from about the 4th grade onward, children aiming for Punahou Middle must attend cram school or Tutor.
Don't expect to get into Punahou or Iolani just by taking MCS classes, the SSAT is very revealing.
Punahou, you need to be at least 90% on the SSAT after all these years of academic improvement.
When my son took the Middle, he got 80%. Anyway, Punahou and Iolani are not just the top two.
Once you get in, it's a matter of whether you can keep up with the Punahou kids or not. Anyway, there was a huge difference between the two schools, so as other parents have said, it is true that I had a hard time studying after I entered Punahou.

I had my son attend Monte until 6th grade and took the Punahou, Iolani, Mippa, and Merinol entrance exams, and he was rejected by Punahou and Iolani and is now attending Mippa.
To be honest, I had heard that 90% of the students could go to Punahou or Iolani if they attended Monte, and the school claimed that Monte's education was advanced and comparable to Punahou and Iolani without a tutor. However, when I took the public test （ the national test and the SSAT ） I found that the Monte students were not at that level, but at best Mippa and Merinol.
I was so surprised and impatient that I rushed to the individual tutor and Takahashi Juku. By the time I realized it, there were 8 months until the exam. I could never catch up with Punahou and Iolani level.
In the school year my child attended, 13 students took the exam and 3 were accepted to Punahou or Iolani, and 10, including my child, were not.
As others have said, many of the families who attend Monte are Monte believers （ really believing faith ）. It was my fault for being so relaxed and believing what they said and what the school claimed, but by the time I realized it, it was already too late.
The same people who come to speak at the Elementary panel every year as parents of alumni, the same people. For a long time now. Monte is a laid back, small school. The community is small because of the small number of families and the small number of students, and the information is skewed so that it is too late, as it is for me.
If you are considering Elementary at Monte, you will need tutors, etc. from 4th grade at the latest if you want to go to Punahou or Iolani from the middle.

It's been a while since I've used Vivinavi's private sales and came across this page. My son was also MCS, he was there through 6th grade and took the middle exam but was rejected from Punahou, he did not take the exam to Iola and is attending another school. My child's best friend （, who was in Kinder through 6th grade ）, was accepted to Punahou, but she feels a huge gap in academic ability and is losing confidence. She feels that the kids from Kinder are incredibly smart at Punahou, and that what they are learning at Elementary is far beyond what they are learning at MCS. My child's best friend was at the top of his class at MCS, but after a few years at Punahou, he is still below average. I sent my child to MCS because I thought it was a good idea to give priority to what he liked and to nurture him, but this backfired when it came to aiming for the top schools. The number of students who have been accepted to Punahou and Iolani from MCS in the past few years has been less than 30%, and I think this is a testament to that. What I can say is that the academic level of Punahou and Iolani today is different from that of Punahou and Iolani more than 5 years ago, or maybe the academic level of MCS has dropped. It could be both. Since Punahou has gone up 5% SSAT in the last 3 years. We are planning to try again narrowly （ high school entry ） which only takes a few students because my kids are not satisfied with their current school. By the way, when I took the exam in 6th grade, the whole class had tutors and went to cram school. The school said that it was unnecessary ！, but if I didn't have a tutor, I wouldn't have been able to pass any of the entrance examinations.

We have been fortunate enough to be able to attend MCS pre in August and are now considering whether to send our child to MCS. This year, it seems that all applicants were able to apply for pre, because we contacted them in early March, just before the acceptance announcement, rather than after the application deadline, and they told us that they would send out First Round notices but that there were still spots available and that they would accept our application if we submitted one. ！ We are also wondering whether Central Union, St. Clements, or MCS would be better for us to attend Punahou from Kinder. We have paid the deposit for all three schools, so we are keeping all three. The reason why I applied to MCS in March is because I thought that even if I fail the Kinder exam because of Elementary.................... I thought that even if I failed the Kinder test, I would still be able to go to Punahou, but it looks like my chances of going to Punahou are slim.
