Thank you ！
Are you perhaps the same person who answered my previous question about food handlers ？
It would be nice to be able to do it online even though it costs a fee ！ I see the test is in quiz format ！
One more thing I would like to know if possible, I think the certificate is valid for 3 years, if I want to keep it, do I have to take the test again ？
Thank you very much.

Yes ！
You gave the same answer about a year ago.

The Hawaii certificate is valid for 3 years.
I will take the course again when it expires.
I used to be an aiea, but it expired so I took it online.
I'll post the site I used.

I had not seen this site.
I am in the process of looking for a new job in the food and beverage industry and don't have to get it yet, but some of the jobs I've seen state that it's already been obtained or will be within a period of time, so I'm going to try! ！
I'm also glad the retest is free.

A food handler certificate is an advantage when applying for jobs.
I'm in the group that got hired after I got it.

It's not that hard and
it's good to know for your own life.
Good luck.

I also did a lot of research on private schooling for my children, but
I realized that with our family budget, I would have to work very hard to afford it.
We moved to an area with a good reputation for public schools at least.
We found a good school with a nearly 100% college-going rate, so
my child is now a student at a university in the Mainland.
College is even more expensive, so it's not easy.

For Kindergarten-6th grade, it is not as important to attend a private school if you can get your child into a good public school. This is not always easy though and you have to either live in a good district or get a Geographic Exception (GE). Some parents of course believe that private schools are the best and if they can afford them, its no problem. However please keep in mind that tuition is only one cost. You also have to factor in books, after school care, extracurricular activities, summer school, etc. Extracurricular activities start off cheaper when children are small because the lessons are usually once a week for a shorter time. By the time they reach middle school, these activities can be adding thousands of dollars every year. Some parents feel that private schools are more important at the high school age, BUT do not want to take a chance so they apply their child at a young age and get in when the application process is easier (no SSAT entrance exam tests). Ultimately, you should really look at the finances, if you are going to be struggling to keep up, it is definitely not worth it. There are many good public schools and if your child is smart, they can succeed anywhere. Better to spend time with them when they are young than to work many hours and let someone else (private school) raise them. There is no denying that many good private schools offer a good network and environment, but not at the cost of you and your partner struggling. 50% of marriages in the US end in divorce and the largest cause of divorces are financial struggles.

When my children were still small (around 2 or 3 years old)
the topic of conversation among my mom's friends was private or public school. It was.

We were both working at home, but private school was never an option.
We were able to at least enroll him in a public school with a good reputation in GE.
In exchange for private tuition, we were able to give her a variety of lessons.

Fortunately, I was able to enroll him in a school with a high percentage of students going on to higher education and he is attending a university in the Mainland, including scholarships, after receiving recognition in his field of study.
As Hawaii Five-O said, even more universities are expensive and difficult, though. I worry a lot about my children's future and school. I think it would be good to hear about the experiences of different people to help you 😊.

I have never tipped for take-out rice balls.

With these high prices, not only the waiters, but also us residents （ and office workers ） cannot afford it.

Those who can afford it are paying above average tips. I think that's fine.

I know people who are self-employed and have to spend more money than they get in taxes.

You buy it in a store, not a restaurant, and when you select the screen, choose NOTIP
and put it in a cup or something else that is left for a $1 tip in cash.
It's the same $1 or $2 at Starbucks. Unless you are in a restaurant where you sit down to be served
I wouldn't give more than that.
They will prepare it for you, so it's like a labor charge. It is usually $1. Unless the tip is part of the salary, like in a restaurant,
there is no need to calculate it as a percentage.

We feel that the tipping culture is becoming even more prevalent due to Corona.
Tipping servers is understandable, but very often we are asked to tip on the screen
in the style of standing in line at a store to buy something. In the case of the Corona Disaster, I used to tip as a way of
supporting the store, but when I get in line at the store to buy a single tapioca and
tip is displayed, I don't know which service I am tipping for.
McDonald's, Starbucks, cafes, I do not tip if I am just ordering. Don't worry about these things, don't worry about it, 0% is fine.　:\cHB2D2D2:)

Ladies and gentlemen
thank you. I am relieved to know that my sense is not so far off. I'm sorry to add this, but the other day when I skipped a tip at a certain rice ball shop, the Japanese waiter gave me a blatantly disgusted look
and I wondered if it is a job where I receive tips on a regular basis ？ to begin with. I would be happy to pay if they offer various suggestions and support as much as Starbucks' older brothers and sisters do ^_^ Also, I think it's very nice to have a tip that means supporting the store. I would like to incorporate it too. Thank you all again!

The POS System has a Tip section. This cannot be omitted on the System.

So, if you have a To Go rice ball shop or something like that, if that section comes up, you can SKIP
no problem.

Of course, if you put a Tip, no problem.

Tip should be said "put down" or "give", not "pay". I want you to put it down comfortably.

You can always return to your country for treatment. You can get a pension in Japan. You have no income in Japan, so you have minimal expenses. Prescriptions are also cheaper in Japan. If you are renting a room and living here, don't say "anytime", just go back home You can get government assistance even though you have no income in Japan.
Don't be persistent, but think about how you can stabilize your life.

He is not a dandy. He is different from his older brothers.
The "datte" in "datte ni ikimai nai" is "datte" in "datte-o".
The word "datte" means to be vain, to adorn one's appearance.
It means to act flamboyantly, especially to attract attention.

"Not living in date" means not living in such a superficial or lax manner.
It is also used of "not being Date or drunken".
This "drunkenness" also means the same thing, to be fond of things.

Zoom is for communication using video, LINE is for communication using text, stamps, etc. （ LINE can also be used for video conversations ）, I think. I think that each of them is suited for different purposes, so it is a little difficult to compare them in terms of advantages ・ and disadvantages.
By the way, LINE requires all users to verify their identity with a cell phone number, but Zoom does not.

I'd like to add, I believe the fees are the same as IACE and JTB. Just because it's an online order mailed
doesn't mean the fee is higher, but the postage is. That's the only difference. If you compare the sites, you can see to some extent that the fee is about $10 for both.

Halo thank you very much for your very kindness ！
Yes. It's about the name and so on. I've been making a lot of mistakes lately (like forgetting to bring a present to a birthday party), and I'd like to have someone check my purchases if possible. If I try to use the rail pass and it doesn't work, my travel plans will be in trouble ！.

Yesterday I bought a Japan Rail Pass at HIS in Ala Moana SS.
I first tried to buy it online from IACE Travel, but when I tried to buy it together, I got an error message even though I wanted two tickets, one for me Japanese and one for my husband （ American ）. Maybe it's because we have different statuses ？ I decided not to apply for them separately because it's too much trouble. On that point, at HIS, the staff is right in front of you, so whether you are Japanese or a gaijin, they can make sure that your name is correct and you can make the purchase.
Like Halo, my passport has my American family name in parentheses, but it is slightly different from my green card, so I got a copy of my residence card from the consulate. They also confirmed this.
The amount was also one person ＄ 338. I didn't have to pay any fees or postage, so in the end it was probably cheaper than IACE Travel.
It was very convenient to buy the tickets right away because it was not crowded in the evening.

Thank you Koco, I will try to get a copy of the book.
I ended up buying mine last week at HIS!
A few days before that, the price dropped to $ 213 per person, so I thought it was worth the wait. I think IACE will add Sipping fee ！
and Handling fee $ 10.

I was a little surprised that the Controller's sister-in-law made $ 120K 10 years ago and I think she must be getting a lot now, so I was a little surprised that only a couple working full time together would make $ over 90K in household income.

I have no one close to me who receives a pension from Japan
so I asked you here.

I just called US Bank's Japanese service
again and made a claim.

They made arrangements immediately.
I was told that
I could get the refund in a few days because of the procedure with the Japanese side.

If you are in a similar situation, I suggest you call
