If you know of a place in Honolulu, preferably near Ala Moana or Downtown, where I can get my watch battery changed, please let me know. The battery in my watch that I use for work has run out and I need to get it replaced ASAP, but the watch shop on Pensacola St. that I usually go to is on vacation until 12/14, so I am in a bind. It is a simple watch with water resistance.

Alamoana or Down town Longs Drugs can change your battery ， You can drop off your watch and pick it up on the designated day.
It's not like in Japan where you have to wait in the store while they change the battery

I am the one who consulted here last December.
The watch shop on Pensacola St. that has served us for many years, the owner retired and closed the store, but a new owner renovated the old store and opened a watch repair shop with the same name, Crown Time House. I went there as soon as I could and the new owner was very nice and friendly. There is also a parking lot.

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 😊.

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.

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.

Thanks for your kind share! Thank you very much for your kind share. I used to use my phone in the same way without any problem, but when I came back to Japan 2 years ago, I bought a Japanese Sim card with a Japanese phone number on it, so I would like to use it if possible.
I'm not sure if the same account can be used on two iPhones, even if the iPhone is set to Airplane mode and the LINE app is used in the U.S. The world has become too convenient for my brain to keep up.

Thank you for your reply ！
If things get complicated, I'd like to use E sim, but I don't want to waste the E sim for Japan that I already purchased.

I have the same account on my ipad, and I am also using the same account on my Galaxy tablet. However, when I logged on to my Galaxy tablet the other day with the account I use on my iPhone, the line on my iPhone stopped connecting to my account on my iPhone, saying that it had been transferred to another device and was no longer available. After deleting the line on my galaxy, I can use it again on my i phone, but my past talk history is gone. I can set up a backup of my talk history in the settings of the line, so I set up a backup just in case.

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 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.

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.

I am planning to go see the Nagaoka Fireworks this weekend.
I know it's best to watch from Waikiki, but I'm worried about traffic restrictions, parking, etc. since I'm coming from Eva.
Is there a place where we can park our car and enjoy the fireworks even if it is a little far away ？
I can't go early because of my child, so if I want to see them in Waikiki, should I park somewhere far away （ downtown or ？ ） and take a bus? ？ I guess.

It's a bit far, but
you can see it from the KCC parking lot.
Take exit 6, turn right at the end of the street, and go straight to the parking lot.

It is not as powerful as the one in Waikiki, but it is impressive.

It's almost spring break and my family and I are planning to travel to Sydney and the Gold Coast.
But I have a phobia of airplanes and even a slight tremor makes me cry … I am looking forward to the trip because I heard that the Oceania area is very bumpy, but I am more scared than that …
I have heard that the Honolulu line is often bumpy, but I have never been that afraid of it.
I would appreciate it if you could give me some advice on how to ease my fear, whether you have a phobia of flying or you fly a lot and don't feel scared at all when the plane shakes. I wonder why there is no one around me who is scared. I wonder if it is safe even if it shakes a lot.
I have a phobia of airplanes, but I still take airplanes.

I have heard that the probability of an airplane crash is lower than that of a car accident, and even if the plane shakes, there are announcements saying that the plane is flying through the air currents and that it will shake, but that it will be okay, so I don't worry about it. I think the key is to relax and let the shaking take control of your body. You feel the same way when you ride in a car on a rickety road, don't you? When an airplane takes off, it is less stressful on your body if you are relaxed.

Thanks for the advice.
relax and don't be rigid ！ same as a rickety road ！
I know. I read somewhere that the chances of a plane crashing are lower than winning the lottery, almost zero.
There are so many planes flying a day that you can't even count them.
Flight attendants and pilots would not take such a risky job, would they?
