When my child is sick, I usually take the day off. I am sure my husband would not be able to take care of the child and I think the child would be anxious.

I don't work, so I don't have to worry if my child suddenly gets sick, but I think it is really hard for working families when a child is sick. Thanks to Corona, some people have been able to choose to work remotely, but I think it's tough to work while watching a sick child.

My friend said that she just needed to finish her work, so she would spend time with her child during the day and check on her health, and then work alone at night. He also said that his body was not up to the task. He said that he could take paid holidays, but that would mean less time off when he goes to Japan, so he prefers not to use it as much as possible.

Another friend said she can't take her work home with her, so she takes her vacation with pay. My family has no one to rely on and my work doesn't bring in that much income, so I am a full-time housewife. My friend has a solid career and said that staying at home is not an option. I kind of admire that. I think it's cool.

Good evening.
I suddenly got boils on my legs and I showed my home doctor
a picture of them and he said they were bed bugs.
I was really surprised because it was my first time and I got rid of the bed bug and
it went away immediately with steroid ointment.

It looked like a pimple and it happened so suddenly
I thought maybe it was the same thing.

I searched around and found that they are often found in beds in both Japan and the US, so
be careful.

Thanks for your reply.
Is it a bed bug ！ I hadn't thought of that idea. I have an image that bedbugs tend to bite soft parts of the body and if they bite you, they itch enough to scratch you, but I don't itch and I don't see any bite marks on my body. By the way, I also looked at the bed, but could not find any bugs. However, I thought I would try applying the steroid ointment I have once. Thank you for sharing your precious experience.

When I was in my late twenties, I started to get acne around my chin due to hormonal imbalance. （ At that time I was living in Japan and had irregular menstruation and visited a Japanese doctor. ） A hormone test showed a high male hormone level, and the doctor explained to me that when a woman's male hormone level increases, the amount of sebum increases in areas where men grow beards, such as around the chin and mouth, making it easier for acne to appear. After that, I tried various skin care products, but they had no effect at all. When I started taking pills, my acne completely disappeared. I have heard that the pill is not recommended for people in their 40s because the risk of blood clots increases, so I am not sure if the pill would be a good solution for you, sakura. However, since you seem to think that the acne is caused by hormones, I think it would be better to see a gynecologist instead of a dermatologist. I wish you a speedy recovery.

Thank you for your reply. And thank you for your kind words. It sounds like it would be a good idea to have my hormone levels checked once by a gynecologist instead of a dermatologist. I have many ideas, so I will see a gynecologist. Thank you for sharing your valuable experience.

Is it Japan ？ U.S.A. ？ In Japan, if you are over 40 years old, you will have no job except a cleaning lady, except for a research job with a clear mind.
Those people depend on welfare, so it is hard for common people.
Single mothers with children are also on welfare, so it is hard for common people.

According to information from Japanese broadcasters and producers,
Japanese-language broadcasting is legal in North America ・ and distribution service companies are limited, while other companies are illegal
, Other companies are illegal （ I think they mean Japanese law ）.

There was a discussion in another post about the gray area if the server is overseas （ I checked this too, and found information that uploading to the server from Japan is out of compliance with the Japanese copyright law ）,
which is a violation of the law. ？ I think it is difficult to expect morals from a company that is distributing a Japanese program with a high level of respect for the copyright holder's rights. After all, it is a company that ignores the rights of copyright holders and tries to make money with minimal investment. I understand that you want to watch Japanese popular movies.
Also, there seems to be criticism of Japanese broadcasters who do not allow overseas distribution.
However, the current situation is that there are companies that make money by taking advantage of such feelings of Japanese people overseas,
and then go into hiding when their position becomes unfavorable.

I wonder if each person understands that much before using the company.

Sorry for the length.

I know.

I had it done about 5 years ago at my accountant's place and received an additional tax letter for about $4000.
I went to the accountant with the letter and he told me not to pay it
He filed an amended return without paying any additional money and I got about $1000 back.
I remember buying cream puffs to thank him for the $1000 or so I got back.

I see people with carriers on the side of their bicycles, not a lot, but I see them.
I saw one yesterday in Waikiki.
I often see scooters with carriers attached.
I was under the mistaken impression that only vehicle registration was required for driving, but it seems that a driver's license is necessary.
According to the following, there is a Class 1 license for moped driving only.
https://hawaiimoped.com/hawaii-moped-laws/

Here is the site of Honolulu city authorities.
https://www8.honolulu.gov/csd/motorcycle-or-moped-drivers-license-information/
After getting a provisional license, there are some restrictions such as not being able to drive with two passengers and not being able to drive at night. but you can drive.
I think a provisional license is valid for 1 year. ？ I am not sure.

I think the practical test is held at the license center in Pearl City, using their own moped.

In general, I think it is easier than getting a car license.

For reference.

Thank you very much.

I don't know much about driving a moped with a Japanese license （ ＋ or an international license ）.
However, since cars are supposed to be allowed to drive mopeds, I assume that backward compatible mopeds are also allowed to drive mopeds ？.

Just to be clear, it is important to keep your Japanese driver's license.
Also, a Japanese driver's license is only valid for one year from the date of arrival in Hawaii. The Consulate-General of Honolulu recommends that you carry documentation to show the date and time of your entry into the country.
The following is a passport, but you should definitely avoid carrying valuables when surfing （ Thefts can easily occur on the beach ）.
You might, for example, keep a passport copy with you and take the original later if the police ask for it.

The following is another resource provided by the Consulate General of Honolulu, Japan.

You can call them for assistance in Japanese.

I didn't know there was a way to call the consulate. Thank you very much.
I think it would be safest to just get an international driver's license and get it there.

In Japan, people sometimes leave a plastic bag with a smartphone in it on the beach and go into the ocean, but in Hawaii, it seems to be very strict.
I will take the real opinion of the local people as a reference.
Thank you very much.

Sad to say, but there is a lot of beach leave-taking and bicycle ・ scooter theft.

Bicycles must be locked with separate chains for the front and rear wheels, and the body must be U-locked as well, or some parts will be stolen. Everyone uses scooters with very thick chains for locks. I think the thin ones get cut by wire cutters.

Many locos who come to the beach with cars put a special key （ for opening doors ） that has only the key part and no electronic parts in the inside pocket of their swimsuit and go into the water.
Also, there are many people who hang a key box on their car, but this is to say that the keys are here, and the box can be exploited and the car stolen.
I myself bury my keys in the sand to open the door （ I park my car so far away that it is virtually impossible to connect the keys to the car ）.
However, in my friend's case, he had his car stolen because he was seen from the moment he got out of his car to the moment he hid his keys.

So, although this may sound a bit threatening, please be careful about theft when you are here.
