I don't have any friends in Hawaii either. When my children were small, I had a lot of mom friends, but they were just mom friends, and once they started kinder, I stopped socializing with them. I also made friends at the Japanese language supplementary school, but I found the Japanese community to be a very difficult and troublesome place to be. They were mean to me, talked behind my back, invited me out for lunch once in a while ？, and when I was happy to go out with them, they were actually soliciting me for insurance or selling Fat Dan cosmetics. I don't know where they came from or why they live in Hawaii, because Hawaii is a place where people's identities are unknown.

I had a fight with my husband the other day and left home unexpectedly, but I laughed at myself because I had no friends and nowhere to go. I didn't know any restaurants that a middle-aged woman could go to alone, and I was afraid to walk outside alone after dark, so I went home before it got dark. Still, I don't really want to have friends in Hawaii.

I am serious, methodical, responsible, caring, and easily hurt, so making friends with people I don't know well that I meet in Hawaii is mildly stressful for me. I try to keep my relationships with people in Hawaii as shallow as possible and avoid deep relationships because I don't want to trust them as friends and then be betrayed and hurt again.

Thank you for your personal and sympathetic email and further comments ！
Off topic, but today I saw a family living in Hawaii that I think is quite famous on YouTube. The Japanese wife was sparkling, and I was a little despairing because she looked like heaven and earth to me. I imagined that they were probably going to have an early dinner at a restaurant after that and watch the lantern floating ceremony. But I think he is quite a hard worker...he is always a wonderful person with his YouTube dinner menus.

I am a woman living in Hawaii.
US will have a huge gap between rich and poor, not just in Hawaii.
If you are a homeowner, you can exchange information about properties, but if you talk to renters
who are not, they will be turned off.
Whether single, married, or divorced.
I was also solicited by more than 10 different religions and network businesses.
I've been in Hawaii long enough to take it as a plus and wonder
what kind of invitation I'll get next time ！ I'm trying to think of new discoveries . I can't
buy network business products unless someone introduces me to them. There are so many excellent products that I've come to believe that I don't have to be interested in the business to just be a loyal customer. With people who don't have cars, it's a burden to have to drop them off and pick them up for lunch or tea. I think it would make a better impression on everyone if you could take an Uber or Taxi yourself. Saving money is important, but I think it is also important to invest in yourself. If you ask someone to pick you up and drop you off, thank them. You will have a longer lasting relationship with people who have common sense.
If I could meet like-minded people, we could be friends. I think it is a good idea.

Unlike in Japan, everyone's status〔Temporal or Permanent(Permanent)》is different, and for the sake of future relationships
Everyone is used to asking each other about status when they first meet each other.

I have had various experiences in the mainland U.S., Japan, and Hawaii. I have lived in all of them for more than 10 years. I have had good times and bad times, but I am currently doing my best in Hawaii. I am such a person, but let's all be friends~ ！ I am looking forward to meeting you all. Let's have an off-line meeting or something. ！ I'd love to have a drink with you all!

I myself have only two Japanese friends. I met them recently, too.

I have been involved with others, but I am not in contact with them now. I will not contact them in the future.

I don't like the Japanese community in Waikiki, so I don't go near them at all, and
I live mostly in English.

Thanks for your comment. Sorry for the delay ！
No, I'm just an ordinary girl. I have never been to Takahashi Juku.
However, she plays outside a lot and her concentration was
high even before she entered preschool.
She liked puzzles and blocks since she was about 2 years old, and she never stopped doing puzzles
until they were completed.
I also raised him from birth with an emphasis on Japanese rather than English.
I learned this from a doctor at the hospital, who told me that a completely bilingual brain affects academic performance, and that if I wanted to raise my child in the U.S., I should immerse him in Japanese until he was 3 years old and raise him 100% in Japanese.
Now I can completely translate from Japanese to English because of that. I heard that the brain moves naturally. I was told before the birth that this would deeply affect my academic ability and judgment, so I was very thorough.
Other than that, he is just a normal kid who plays outside a lot. lol
Thank you for your kind words ♪.

It's been a long time since my children graduated, so I don't know if this applies to your situation now, but just an FYI ！

I had two children graduate from Hanahauoli to Punahou, Mainland college.　My daughter started at Pre-K first and my son attended Public for a year before moving to Hanahauoli, where we still have a great relationship with very good teachers and a wonderful family atmosphere.　　　I had my son take the PUNAHOU exam in Kinder, but they recommended that he take the 4th grade exam because his English vocabulary was less than that of native English speaking children, but we both started at PUNAHOU in 7th grade.　They say that bilingual children learn the language of their parents faster, especially if they spend a lot of time together. In our case, since I was speaking Japanese, I think my Japanese was stronger than my English because I spoke a lot of Japanese when I was little. But after attending the school, my English naturally became stronger.　I know it is a tough time for parents who are going through the schooling process, but please enjoy the time you spend together now ～.

#22 Mr. M
Thank you for your valuable experience ！
I knew that once you start going to school, English would naturally become your main language. I was a little worried even though the doctor at the hospital said so,
but just by attending （ St. Clements for the past year ） from the age of 3, my English has improved a lot.
My husband is English only, so even though I raised him in Japanese,
the environment to learn English is more than Japanese families, and even now he is about 70% Japanese and 30% English, and he is good at Japanese. lol
Without knowing it, HANAHAUOLI, Montessori Community School
I was surprised that I could pass the entrance exam for HANAHAUOLI, Montessori Community School without even knowing it. I think the English environment will become stronger and stronger, but I have no regrets about raising my child in Japanese until the age of 3. ！
I feel that the bilingual brain is well formed.
Since my children are really leaving the nest, I would like to spend a lot of the precious time I have with them now, enjoying it.

Hello. My son attended MCS preschool for two years, ages 3 and 4.
He attended Iolani from Kinder last year.
I think there is a good chance to get in from Kinder or Elementary
as they move from MCS pre to Kinder and then gosh darn it to Iolani or Punahou.
In fact, I was thinking of sending Elementary to MCS as well if I could not get into Iolani.
MCS Elementary also has 2 teachers per class of 18-20 students, so they can give you a lot more attention than other schools.
I was attracted to MCS there too, but decided to send her to Iolani where she was accepted because she could avoid taking the exam in the middle.
Like yuri, I am very convinced that you choose Middle because of your grades and interests at Elementary, and I am sure that you will develop that much academic ability and ability to make your own decisions
at MCS.
My son learned a lot at MCS preschool, and his independence and concentration were wonderfully developed. I believe this is what led to his success at Iolani.
We didn't have any tutoring or tutoring and he was able to pass without any connections.
Most of my classmates who were accepted to Punahou and Iolani Kinder also said that they did not have any tutoring or private tutoring
.
MCS has a high quality and level of teachers and a large number of teachers to the number of students, so there is no doubt that the students receive an excellent education.
Enjoy your future life at MCS ！!

I recently asked a question about clinic payments. I was debited right after that. Did you check to see if the check you used twice, NON-chan, was debited from your account ？ If you've already paid and they debit more, maybe you should call the clinic ？ I wonder if it is possible to get the check back that you sent
I too would like to know about other people's experiences.

I checked with my accountant and the money was transferred on the approximate deposit date.
Did you check with your accountant who did your tax return ？
I think the accountant and what state you live in will give you an approximate date.

It is a branch office of FedEx, the shipping company, but some of them have printing services.
For example, I once requested a large poster print at the FedEx office on the corner of S. King St. and University Ave.
They have a service where you can email them in advance and they will print it.

Office Max/Office Depot seems to have a similar service.

#3 love Mr.
Try searching FeDex near me.
There are quite a few in Honolulu.
I do my own copying and printing out.
If you can't figure out how to do it, you can ask an employee.
You can pay by credit card.
By the way, the closest one from Waikiki is next to the old Rinka place.
1500 Kapiolani blvd free parking available.

Dear Topi

We are very sorry to hear of the passing of your
friend.
I am sorry for your pain.
But I wonder if it is what your friend would have wanted
to have everyone here see about his suicide. ？
Please do not leave such a thing here and
take your grief on your own.

As someone who has also lost a loved one,
I understand your feelings, but please do not be the cause of your friend's death.

Sorry for the sidebar.

I actually have a Japanese female friend that I have not been able to contact.
I hope it's not her, but Topix, it would be very helpful if you could give me a description of the deceased
.
I am very worried because for the first time I have not been able to read for a long time.

I'm sure everyone who lives in Hawaii who is looking at this topic is wondering what they would do
if it were their friend.

I filed my marriage certificate 6 years ago at a place called Hawai'i civil marriage between downtown and Salt. I just looked at their website and the cheapest they charge is ＄ 100, but at my time it was $ 20 or ＄ 25, which is the cheapest I can remember. I said my vows there, and since I didn't intend to take pictures, I just had the staff take a quick picture of me with my iPhone, though I was wearing a T-shirt. I stopped by before going to work because the business hours were longer then. I took a wedding anniversary photo separately.

If it is a Hawaii only item,
if you have a trusted friend back in Japan, you could have them ship it to Japan
