As the title says, I am writing to find out the monthly membership fee for Anytime in Waikiki.

I heard that Hawaii is a popular place to work out, and besides Anytime, there are gyms used by Army and UFC

gyms for mixed martial arts.

Please let me know about their admission fees, monthly membership fees, reputation, and if you are actually a member.

Of course, you can tell me about other gyms than the above.

I used to go to Anytime,
18 month contract, $ 34.99 per month.
I think it was cheaper with a 2 year contract.
There is no joining fee.
It was good because I could use it when I went to Japan.

I currently go to Planet Fitness.
This one has an annual membership fee of $ 35th.
The monthly membership fee is $ 23.
The change use is simply because Planet is now in my neighborhood.

I am planning to go to Japan and have enough yen and dollars, but which is more economical, using the yen I have or exchanging dollars for yen ？
I think it is better to use dollars because of the weak yen, but there are fees involved.
If it is better to exchange money, I would also like to know the recommended exchange offices.

If you use an Amex card, there is no fee. The rate is exactly what you see on TV.

Most airline co-branded credit cards should not charge overseas usage fees.
Normal credit cards are said to charge 1-3%.
You can also compare the fees of your card and the fees when you exchange dollars to yen in Hawaii or Japan.
Currently, the exchange rate is 147 yen to the dollar, so I think it is more economical to use dollars.

I think it is because of Corona, but it was convenient to be able to pay small amounts by card at convenience stores （ 100-yen stores only accept cash and electronic money ）.
I took Amex (no fee) as main card and Visa (1% fee) as sub card.
Amex was accepted in most places, and I paid with Visa when it was not available.

Thank you very much, Koji.
It seems to be a good idea to use credit cards without exchanging cash for dollars ！
It helped because it has been too long since I have been to Japan and I had never experienced such a weak yen.

Even if you didn't swim, you played in the sand at the beach or took them to the Toddler Program at Paki Park.
We also had an annual pass for the ZOO, so we often took walks in the ZOO.
We also went to Toddler Time at Kahala Mall every week. It was nice to make friends with other kids around the same age in the Toddler Program at the park. At home play, we did sticker books and paper crafts together. Lots of picture book reading too. You also let them play in the bathtub with shallow water. We also gave them plastic bags and went with them to pick up plumeria at a neighbor's house.
My children have already started elementary school, but when I see children around 1.5 years old,
I miss my own children when they were small :)

I started taking my children to preschooler meetings at church and temple before they turned one, not so much for my children's sake, but more for my own relaxation. I think it was more for my own relaxation than for my children's. When they were about one year old, I started attending parent-child classes at IJCC (International Japanese Christian Church) and parent-child classes at Makiki Church. I also purchased an annual pass to the Honolulu Zoo and Children's Discovery Center, which I often visited. We also took them to Family Sunday at the Honolulu Museum of Art. I also enjoyed the playground at the Windward Mall, which was designed for small children, and when they were about one and a half years old, they took gymnastics classes, rhythmic classes, and group baby swimming lessons with friends, with a teacher coming to our house. I took them to the park every evening and kept myself busy, but now I think it would have been better if I had set aside a little more time to just laze around at home with my child. I thought I had started attending preschool, but in the blink of an eye, I was a college student. The time when they spoiled me and followed me around with "mommy, mommy," seemed long at the time, but now when I think back on it, it really was just a moment, and I really love these precious days. Enjoy the time you have with your adorable children.

Thank you, weaning mom ！
You have been very active ！ My son loved milk so much until recently that he was afraid to go out much if we ran out on the road. Once we were delayed on a flight to an outlying island, and she was so impatient and traumatized when we ran out of milk, both on hand and at the store. In the end, he slept and we were able to get through the situation. The museum is nice It hasn't been open for a while in Corona. We will certainly have much less time together once preschool starts, so I'm looking forward to enjoying the time we have now .

In my case,
I bought a Note 2014 from Hertz with about 2 years old, 21,000 miles on the rental car.
It was just under $16,000 including warranty, etc.

Maintenance ・ Repairs are basically done at a Nissan dealer.
Repairs large and small have come in so far. Oil changes, tire changes, batteries, of course, but also suspension parts replacement, paint baldness repair, etc. In about 8 years, I have spent $8,000.

Insurance is about $700 a year with StateFarm, and taxes and inspection are about $300, or $1,000 a year.

Finally, gasoline is $70 per month for a Town to Kaneohe commute.

So
initial investment $16,000 and running costs for the next 8 years （ not including gas ） are about the same.

For reference.

Toyotas are very popular in Hawaii.

A friend of mine drove a Toyota for 15 years and sold it for a quarter of the price he paid for a new one.

After the Corona, rental cars were unusually expensive and there may have been a lot of demand.

If you drive it nicely （ No smoker, No pets ) Considering that you can sell it for a good price, I think leasing it is a waste.

You're right. Cars are hit or miss. Japanese cars are hard to break and easy to sell. That's why they are popular.

If you are planning to sell your car, Toyota is the best choice. Mileage is not so important unlike in Japan.

If the goal is to sell the car later, I think Toyota is the best choice, whether it is a new or used car. The Honda Odyssey was bought by a cab company, and with its own maintenance, it has been revived and is in demand in its own right. I feel like my car is a bit like a horse. By the way, the old Japanese Honda scooters like the Rattata and Tact still cost buyers about $3000 $ over here because they have more horsepower and longer life than a 50cc moped with a 95cc engine upgrade.

I'm sorry for the stupid question. I am planning to stay in Honolulu for a trip, but I don't know if I will need a swimsuit （ until I get there ）, so I am wondering if I should buy one in Japan or get one when I need it locally.

Is it easy to find Japanese （ padded ）, size and price （ 100 ＄ or less ） ？

There are places that sell them. But when my friend came here, she wanted to get it locally. First of all, it's hard to find a favorite. Basically, they are all unpadded. There are so many different sizes and designs, so you will waste a lot of time.
I think Japan is definitely the best place to go because it's summer and there are so many different kinds and they are cheap. I will recommend it to my friends next time. I will recommend it to my friends from now on.

Please let me know if you have recently been in the process of renewing your green card and it expired and you have successfully returned from an overseas trip from the US without a new card yet, or if you know more about this.
I went through the green card renewal process this past January and also went to get my fingerprints taken. My original card has already expired.
I think I can go to Japan, but will I be able to come back to Hawaii without any problem? Do I need to do anything to leave the US ？
I need to buy a plane ticket next week, so if someone could give me the right information, that would be very helpful. Thank you in advance.

As for me,
I renewed my GC in December 2022.
I went to Japan in May of this year and did not receive my new card at that time, so I inquired and received a letter!
It stated that the letter would be valid for one year after the GC expired.

but it took about 30 minutes at immigration when I arrived in Hawaii.

The letter from immigration is
I-797.

I went to Japan during renewal. You said you don't have any kind of certificate, but do you have the I-797 （ extension letter ） sent by USCIS after renewal ？ with which you can travel outside the US? You must carry the original I-797 with you when you travel out of the country, along with your expired green card. Please note that photocopies are not acceptable.
