Has anyone ever had a fender bender and called the police and the officer actually came but no police report was made ？

I rented a car from Turo and the officer came immediately after the accident but 2 days later （ the accident happened on a Saturday When I went to the police station at night ） to pick up the police report, I was told that they could not find it.
When I called the phone number of the police officer who came after the accident and asked him what happened, he said that the drivers had exchanged contact information with each other and that he did not keep a record. I was stunned by the unthinkable response.

I want to go through my insurance company to fix the damage to my vehicle, is this possible without a police report? （ I have never heard of this before ）
Also, does anyone know if it is possible to have a police report made at a later date for a fender bender for example ？.

I am planning to bring in a large amount of both Japanese and Western music, but how much will it cost for a clean CD with no fingerprints on the disc ？

When I asked on the phone, the answer was vague and I was told it would be about 5c to $ 1.

I would like to know ？ whether you assess based on condition alone, regardless of the artist.

I am currently looking for a preschool for my children and a friend told me about Olivet School and we went on a tour, but the children were assigned a day off, so the school was childless and looking back I only saw one classroom and did not tour the restroom. The director gave us a tour of the school and said that about half of the students were Japanese.
I would like to hear evaluations from people who have had or are having their children attend this school.

I am moving from the mainland this year.
I have been doing a lot of research on private schools in Hawaii, but I am still learning a lot and was hoping you could help me out.

I heard that Iolani Punahou le Jardin Midpack is in the top 4. Each school has a different culture, etc., and they are all very attractive.
I would like to know about the best parts of each school and the characteristics and personalities of the children who attend them.
Thank you very much.

こんにちは！
息子がイオラニに通っていて、甥っ子がモンテソーリコミュニティスクールに通っています。
イオラニはアカデミックな学校です。プナホウと迷いましたが卒業生の大学進学先をみてイオラニにしました。
プナホウはソーシャライズな印象でスポーツとかも力を入れてます。
ルジャルダンは賛否両論ですので…。
ミッドパックはイオラニ、プナホウに入れなかった子が沢山行っていると聞きました。
実際、スクールツアー行かれてみると学校のカラーが

早速、色々教えて頂きましてありがとうございます。ハワイは他にも沢山良い私立校があると聞いています。やはり自分でスクールツアーに行くのが1番ですね。

本土ではスタバ並みにあるモンテッソーリの幼稚園(質はバラバラで見極めは必要)ですが、ハワイではモンテの教育を受けさせる事さえ狭き門なのだと最近知り気が遠くなってしまいました。
幼稚園選びから受験が始まってるのですね。

　貴重なお時間をありがとうございました。

　モンテッソーリに関してはミシガンもそうなんですね！
他の方が挙げられてる幼稚園のトピックを読ませて頂いて驚いてしまいまして…カルチャーショックです。
ギリギリで入れたいと思っても幼稚園すら簡単には入れない所が多いんですね。前もって目標とする学校を決めて幼稚園選びをしなきゃいけない…日本のお受験に近い感じがしますね。

　もし、差し支えなければアカデミックな進学校と言われている幼稚園をいくつか教えていただけないでしょうか。

Relatives of Americans Angry at Hawaii Funeral Service

#1
Kanikani22

This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

I have a question for "those who have experience organizing funerals in Hawaii". I would appreciate it if you could share your experiences with me.


My father-in-law's funeral was recently held at a funeral home in Kaneohe. It was a beautiful place with green mountains ........

My relatives are angry with the funeral home because they think there is something suspicious about it.

I, a Japanese person, have never been a mourner at a funeral and have only attended funerals, so I don't know if it is like that or not.
I would appreciate it if you could let me hear your voices for my reference.

I have a question for those who have experience in mourning or supporting mourners.

▪️The funeral contract was paid off 30 years ago before my father-in-law died

Questionable points:

① The ceremony control manager, a 60-something woman, was not supposed to have a greeting at the beginning of the service, nor was she apologetic.

On the day of the ceremony, the ceremony manager herself was so engrossed in handling the audio equipment that she ignored the mourners' calls all the time due to the delayed start of the ceremony.

There was no one in charge of audio equipment on the day ＝ > The ceremony control manager took over for him, but he didn't move ？ He was focused and silent the whole time. He doesn't even look up.

The ceremony did not start even 10 minutes past the start time, and gradually the attendees started scurrying around, so the mourner said, "Let's start with a greeting from the mourner's family representative" and the ceremony started.
After all, the control manager was still absorbed in the operation, not even looking up or answering ？ or rather ignoring it. ！ ！ No apology.

Question: is this normal ？ ？

② I had a contracted photo movie time of the deceased.　Unexpectedly, the sound did not work.

The mourner's family members broadcasted music from their cell phones with a microphone.　There is a gap between the video and the movie, but the movie enters a movie endless state. 。。。。

Mourner's family members even more angry.

No apology from the wedding hall.
The ceremony manager was silent and expressionless, as if the movie was already made.

Mourner's family is angry, but endures complaints to continue the ceremony.


③ Contractual agreement that the company would transport the casket with six people (30 years ago ≪) =>
⚫︎ with three company staff members, using a cart. The company was charged for labor costs

⚫︎The staff's clothes were too rough and unbecoming, both attendees and relatives complained

Relatives were angry that the company should wear appropriate shirts and pay courtesy.

(I, Japanese also said, "That's just not the way we dress in Japan. I was expecting some formal attire even for the ceremony staff, but I was surprised to see them in work clothes. But they were in work clothes.

There was no meeting, so the company has the advantage... Unfortunately.

QUESTION: For a burial, is it still work clothes ？

④ Since it was a burial, the rule was to put a tarp in the ground $ so they charged me an extra 1500 or something like that.　
I tried to peek in to see if it was there that day, but a sentry stood guard and kicked the relatives out, telling them not to come within a 5m radius of my father-in-law's grave.

A sentry with a parasol will stand guard until the grave pit is completely sealed with dirt.
Real I don't know if there was a tarp.

Question:
In the case of a burial, can't you get close to the end ？

My relatives imagined it was like in the movies or something, where the casket is placed in the grave pit and the attendants pour flowers and soil over it.

I'm skeptical that this is a tarp scam ？ 。。。。

There's more, but is this the level of funerals in Hawaii ？
Mutually, my impression is that funeral companies have no courtesy.

葬儀を執り行った側ではなく、3回、身内の葬儀に参列しただけですが、3ヶ所共、違う葬儀場です。

棺はカートで運びました。
土葬でしたが、、同じように墓穴の半径4メートル位はシートがはりめぐらされ、近寄れませんでした。
その前に、誰も近寄ろうともしませんでした。

遺族も含め、4メートル位離れた場所の椅子に座りました。
式典が終わり入墓した後、映画のように参列者が花や土をかけるのは一度も経験した事がありません。
入墓後は、軽食を頂き、その間に職員の方々が土を被せ、葬儀の献花をお墓の上に乗せてくれ、軽食の後に見に行くパターンでした。

土を被せてくれた職員の方々はベージュの作業服でしたよ。
スコップを持つ訳ですし、違和感は感じませんでしたし、
誰からも不平不満もありません。
亡くなった方はハワイでも権威のある、有名な方でしたけどね。

私もこちらで色々なお式に参列させていただくことがありますが、
掘った穴の周りには人が寄り付け無い事、
あと作業する方は作業着でした。
でも司会進行が音響に気を取られて無言で下向き、、
って言うのは今までなかったですね。
それは余りにも雑な気がします。
文句は言いました？
一言言った方が気が楽ですよね。
因みにカネオヘの某葬儀屋は覚えがありますが、

葬儀を撮影したことがあります。同じ場所だと思います。
そのご家族はオープンキャスケットでした。音響に不備があったのでしたら、なるべく早くなおそうとしてくれていたので集中されていたのでしょうね。いろいろトラブルシュートされていたのでしょう。

お花に関しては、土葬される場所に行ったところでテントがあり、最後にそこでご家族の方たちのスピーチなどがありました。そこで棺を閉める前にみなさんお花を入れたい方はどうぞと喪主の方が配ってお一人づつ入れて行った記憶があります。土葬する穴の近くまでは最後にご家族の方が協力して棺を運ばれ、その後は職員の人がブルドーザーで入れたという感じなので、安全上最後の穴からは少し離れたところからみなさん見ていましたよ。

オーディオがうまくいかなくて予定通りの式が執り行えなかったとのことですが、あらかじめ同意してオーディオをあちらに頼んでいたのでしたら葬儀会社の不備になりますから、返金が必要なら交渉してみても良いかもしれませんが。。持ち込みのものでしたら、当日お渡しになってという感じだったら会場の所為になるかは？という感じじゃないでしょうか。

I am looking for a place to exchange money into
Brazilian reals for my trip to Brazil.
I am hoping to have a few reals before I leave, although I am sure I can manage locally.
I heard that the money changer in Brentwood does not handle Brazilian Real, so I am urgently looking for one.
I think it is possible to exchange at the local airfield, but it would be reassuring if you could tell me about your experience of exchanging money there
.
Thank you very much.

When he was done, I tipped him $ 20 because it was hot and I wanted a cold drink but my neighbor, an old American guy, said that AAA doesn't have to do tips. How about you Bibi's ？
Please refrain from making outlandish comments and off-topic. I don't need examples of restaurants, etc. I am only asking about AAA or similar car related services.
