Vivinavi HawaiiWhat omiyage do you recommend for babies?

My sister's son (my nephew) just had a baby and she asked me to buy something for the baby on my next trip back to Hawaii.
When my nephew was born, there were many stores specializing in baby items in Hawaii, so I bought a lot of things every time I went back to Japan, but now everything is available online, and I can't think of what to buy.My next trip back to Japan will be in June, so I will be able to give the baby to a boy, about 2 months old. Do you have any recommendations for omiyage for babies? Please not large items such as strollers, bouncers, etc. This text has been translated by auto-translation.

I'm Mika and I recently moved to Los Angeles.
The other day a friend asked me a question and I was at a loss for an answer, so I'd like to learn a lot from those of you who have lived in the US for a long time !
Is there any service or product that you think "I would definitely use this if it existed in Japan" when you live in the U.S. ? 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'm sure there are many ways, but the one that comes to mind is the Toll road ( toll road ) payment system.
You can make an account online and register your credit card and it will be paid automatically even after you pass through.

I think it has something to do with service, but the return system. Most stores in the U.S. allow smooth returns within about 30 days, even if the item is unboxed.
Shopping in Japan is time consuming because you have to look at the product carefully, touch it, and think about it because you cannot return it.This text has been translated by auto-translation.

#1060 Roachiman,
I moved from NY to LA around 1971, so the hit song at that time was
Albert Hammond - It Never Rains in Southern California
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meDpNwem0Vo&list=RDmeDpNwem0Vo&start_radio=1
This was the song. I had heard about it, but the fact that it hardly rains means that I can ride my Motorcycle everyday. So I took a leap of faith, ate lunch at Famous Star and cheap today's specials at Norms Restaurant in the evening, saved up money throughout the year, and bought a new Storts Star that cost less than a Harley-Davidson Full Dress. I bought a new car, a Storts Star, which costs less than a Harley-Davidson Full Dress.This text has been translated by auto-translation.

Have you ever had "homesickness ( homesickness )" when you first arrived here from Japan?
I did. My first time in the U.S. was in the City of New York, where I stayed at the apartment of an older colleague who had come before me. Naturally, I could speak Japanese 24 hours a day, so I felt totally at ease, but I could not stay there for long, so I asked him to choose a suitable rental room from the Rent Room section in the Classified Section of the New York Times or some other local newspaper, and I called him and asked him to show me the room. I called him and asked him to show me the room at that location.

I don't understand the connection between rented rooms and homesickness. When you went to see the room, did you suffer from sick building syndrome and became homesick due to mental shock? Did you make the branch manager or senior staff responsible for causing the problem?This text has been translated by auto-translation.

As for new cars, the Prius is a "buy" regardless of gasoline price trends.
In the case of a used car, how the previous owner drove the car has a big impact, so when purchasing a car, please have it professionally inspected before making a purchase decision, even if you pay the cost. This can be said for any car.
We, a late-retired couple, bought a Prius as a new car more than 10 years ago, but we do not use it for commuting and do not make frequent long trips, so the mileage is very low and we change the oil regularly, so it is running fine without any trouble. Sorry, this is not helpful at all.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)

Whether or not a Hybrid is a good buy depends on your lifestyle. I drive a Toyota SUV Hybrid.
My car is 15 years old, 160,000 miles and gets better gas mileage than the new 2025 Mazda CX-5 I recently bought for my daughter.
Hybrids need to be kept for 6 - 8 years or more to make money, taking into account the rising cost of gasoline. If you plan to drive it all the time, a hybrid is a good choice.

I am now a permanent resident and my legal name in the US is my American husband's surname + an old-fashioned-looking Japanese name given to me when I was born in Japan. When I told my American acquaintances that I was born and raised in Japan and immigrated to the U.S. as an adult, they "What? I thought you were born here or lived here since your childhood" and they thought I was Japanese American. When I asked a Japanese shopkeeper at a train station in Japan a question in Japanese, he would say, "Oh, ! are you Japanese?

I can't do John or Mary. You have to write it alphabetically.
John is possible, but it is a man's name.
In Korean, you can write Jeon, Jeong, or Jong as a woman's name.
Also, you can change your name in court as much as you want without taking your nationality.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)

You can change your name to whatever you want at the Oath Ceremony when you get your citizenship.
I didn't know that, so I didn't think about it beforehand. ? ? When I was wondering what to do, I saw a sign that said "Juicy Burger" standing where they were selling hamburgers. I thought for a moment about changing my last name to "Juicyburger" as a joke, but in the end I didn't. It's easy to change it on the spot, but if you want to change it later, you have to apply for it at the court and get it approved, which is a hassle.This text has been translated by auto-translation.

I think it depends on the company, but we can have our own cafeteria, a nearby restaurant, bring our own lunch, etc.
I would be happy if you could help me.

I see you are being posted next month, that's exciting.
I used to work at a factory too, and I used to have lunch at
① a nearby restaurant
② bread from 7-Eleven ・ lunch boxes
③ the factory canteen
I changed these depending on my mood.
Restaurants were often crowded during lunch breaks and meals were not finished within the break time
so we often ate in the factory cafeteria.
Seven's lunch boxes were boring and bad.
I recommend you bring pickled plums, friquettes, rice, instant miso soup, etc.
to change the menu of the factory cafeteria !.
The factory cafeteria may have a variety of menu items, but
many of them are too spicy, and the menu items that Japanese can order are limited.
Good luck and enjoy your work.
