????? Mr.
You live in Hawaii, so ！ you must be.
⁇? s child must be a public person.
I'm sure your kids are public. It's funny to talk about the top of a top school when you didn't even go to a top school.
If the starting point is different, the goal is also different. Punahou in particular is a school that fosters not only high academic ability, but also social and communication skills.
Please wait until your child is accepted and goes to Punahou before you say anything.
My son will start at Punahou Middle this August, so he hasn't gotten in yet.

？ ？ ？ Dear
It's not parental ego. ＃ As Mr. 30 said, it is because I am worried
about sending my child to Papulic, where the academic standards are by far the lowest of any school in the U.S. because it is in Hawaii.
One person may or may not be able to go to Punahou or Iolani from Papulik. In fact, our child goes to Waikiki Elementary last year and this year, zero.
My husband's brother's child goes to Manoa, where 8 people took the test last year and no one was accepted.
This is because there is a huge academic gap between public and prestigious private schools in Hawaii.

It's tough, really tough. Getting accepted to a top school is.
Punahou is really tough, and if you get in, it will change your child's future

I don't make fun of mothers who are desperate to spend money on their children's education, academic achievement, and future. I respect them and I
envy them for being wealthy enough to pay over $30,000 a year for school. If we let them go from Kinder, by the time they graduate in 13 years, it will be enough to buy a house if you include the donation amount. We have no money and I am worried about my education, academics, and future, but I can't do anything for them.

I took the Kinder exam this year, Iolani was my first choice, but only Punahou was accepted. Iolani was still difficult. Iolani attracts high IQ children from all over the world, so even if they enter from middle school, their grades are not as high as those of children who entered from kinder. Therefore, most of the high achievers who go on to Ivy League schools come from kinder schools.
The large number of Asians is probably the result of taking high IQ students from the top regardless of legacy or race. I will try Iolani in the middle again, but I am not sure if it is better to stay at Punahou rather than enter from the middle. I know Punahou is a good school, but I am still disappointed. You are all right, it is about the child's future and life. It will change their lives.

＃ 33 From the Middle . Hi, nice to meet you. We also took the Kinder exam this year and were accepted to both Punahou and Iolani.
I must confess that I was not a high IQ kid from all over the world at all.
I'm sure that Iolani's high IQ theory is just information you hear about in rumors, but
I attended the acceptance events for both Iolani and Punahou and was astonished.
The Iolani I saw at the passing event was 80% legacy, maybe more than 80%. There were 96 people who passed, the pass event was 2 hours long, and round tables were set up so we could see all the families. Over 80% were alumni and it was like a reunion with over half the tables filled from the front with just high fives and alumni families.
I didn't prepair anything, so I'm lucky to have been accepted ！ I'm glad to be at Alumini ！ The conversations were going on and on.
All the parents of the graduates wore Iolani polo shirts, and the family members who brought their siblings also wore Iolani T-shirts because they all attend Iolani. I was born and raised in Japan and my husband is from Europe. We don't have any connections or acquaintances, and we are sitting at a table in the back of the room.
We were at a table with a similar family, who even said that they couldn't fit in and had just decided on Punahou.
To be honest, we also found that most of the legacies at the acceptance event, maybe because of the connections, the attitude of the kids was so "is this how you pass Iolani?"
We saw kids moving around, crying, and not listening to the adults.
I think they will be instructed by the rules, homework, and counselors when school starts.
The quality of the kids, I did not see nearly as many high IQ kids from all over the world. I was so surprised.
The kids were more focused and listening to the presidents and teachers at the Punahou acceptance event.

Many of our graduates who go to Ivy League and other schools are from Punahou. You can see this in the school profile.
Iolani has a higher percentage of students going to the University of Hawaii than Punahou. （ Number of students vs. number going to University of Hawaii ）
We were lucky to be accepted to both, but I would send my child and family to Punahou after observing both at the acceptance event.
I think my child's personality is also a good fit for Punahou.

If it is true that Iolani attracts high IQs from all over the world, my child could be accepted without any connections and my child would have a high IQ on a global level
I would be honored, but no matter how high his IQ is, Kinder is still the starting line of school life, I chose Punahou because I want my child to experience many things other than studying, make many friends, ・ experience many things,
find what he/she really likes, and connect it to the future.
Life is not all about study, if you only have IQ and no social skills, you will not be able to make it in society, in fact, I believe that things other than study are more important in life.

The high legacy rate of Iolani was also acknowledged by the President of Iolani who is leaving this year.
When he approached me, he told me that it was wonderful that I got in even though I was not Alumini.
These words were told to me directly by the President, so they are true, not false or rumors.
Iolani is also a great school, but the accepted students were all Alumini families.

My husband is loco and eats everything. I buy him a plate lunch of Chinese, Filipino, Hawaiian, etc. for lunch, and he can't finish it by himself, so I have the rest for dinner. I often buy poke by weight at the local supermarket, cook white rice and eat the poke as a side dish. I do not eat those things because they do not suit my palate. I can eat a Korean plate lunch or even Chinese if it is panda.

I had a Subway sandwich for lunch today. For dinner I have leftover tomato sauce from last night, so I'm going to get some bread from Epi and make garlic toast to go with my meatball spaghetti.

Daily meals are really hard to think about. We are a family of four, including two grown children, and some days they eat at home and some days they don't. When they were small, we were very careful about what they put in their mouths. When they were small, I was very careful about what they put in their mouths ！, but now my motto is how healthy something looks and how quick and easy I can make it. Basically, I make a batch of something that I can make a lot of at once and that will last for a long time, and keep the whole pot in the refrigerator. Most of the time, I just put chopped vegetables or beans, water, and spices in the Instant Pot and flip the switch. The Instant Pot is ready to go when I turn it on, so I often set it to cook stews, soups, porridge, miso soup, etc. before I leave the house. I often think about what my husband and I will be cooking and eating together in the future, but I think it will probably be the same kind of food. Oh, only in the morning I make a green protein smoothie made with green juice, coffee, protein powder, and cut up fruits and leafy greens thrown into a blender. Ideally, I would like to have a meal that is as easy as possible, but when I think about how much nutrition I want to get, I think this is about the right amount for our family.

Dear Semi-Senior Couple
Instant Pot, When I still had to pick up my children from school, I would set it up before picking them up. The blender was also a big help when I was grounded in Corona and the amount of fruits and vegetables we received in rations was too much to eat, so I bought a blender and made smoothies and vegetable juices every day. I had forgotten about the Instant Pot and blender. I would like to make use of them again after a long time. Thank you for reminding me of all this.

This morning my husband made banana pancakes with overripe bananas. I served it with strawberries, blueberries, pineapple, and other fruits in the fridge, and enjoyed it like fruit pancakes at a café. For breakfast, my husband prepares an American breakfast every morning. For lunch, I bought a plate lunch of Korean barbecue downtown and shared it with my husband. My husband always has macaroni salad with his plate lunch, which is a typical loco dish, but I try not to eat starch because I am pre-diabetic. For dinner, today is the Neal Blaisdell Farmer's Market day, so I'm going to take a walk and buy something at the farmer's market.

I went to visit my niece in LA in March.
I was surprised at the price difference in Nijya.

Japanese goods and foods are shipped from
Japan → LA → Hawaii and by sea, so
LA → Hawaii shipping cost is added.
Both Nijya and Tokyo Central seem to be 20% cheaper in LA than in Hawaii.

Both Nijya and Donki's ads can be seen on their websites, which may help with Hawaii prices ？

At Wal-Mart
a dozen eggs were $ 2.99.
Walmart in Hawaii has the same one for $ 5.99.

When we moved from LA, we looked around at cars and furniture when looking for a new home in Hawaii, but
we didn't have a lot of choices in terms of colors and what we liked.

Everything we used in LA was big sizes, so
we ended up paying much less for the furniture and car in LA and paying for shipping.

Hawaii doesn't have trejo, so people from Hawaii buy quite a few trejo souvenirs when they go to Vegas. Well, my impression is that they are happy with anything sweet.

I think you are right, it is Trader Joe's. I get a lot of Mainland souvenirs from the locals at work as well, and most of the sweets are from here.
If you are on Oahu, the locals also like Krispy Kreme. But personally, I prefer bagels. I'd like to know what the air is like in New York, what songs are playing on the radio, etc. I'd love to go back to New York!

I think the tour company told us
that all optional tours include TIP.

So, I don't think there are people who give TIP.

The tour company will pay you the TIP on a monthly basis.

You are very superior to the tourists
if you don't pay them TIP.

Do they think tourists are their subordinates? ？

I have never seen such an arrogant tour guide.

I have been a tour guide myself, and
I have never forced anyone to give me a TIP, and
I don't think I should complain here
just because they don't give me a TIP. <2068> I think you should ask the company that signed you up for the tour,
I'm sure they'd be happy to help you.

Don't tell the customer to pay TIP.

Tourism. And many Japanese people do tours that include a tip. I don't think you should be forced to tip.

If you get a server with a very bad attitude in a restaurant
I would not tip or would tip as little as possible. Tipping is a way of saying thank you.

In total, we carried hundreds of passengers. Tipping is not included. So most of them give tips
but only the customers who live in a certain province rarely give tips, not because of bad service or anything, but because of statistics
I just asked you guys if it is a province thing ？.
So it's not that tipping is not worth it.
But we're good to go.

Tour agency

They don't put the Tip down, probably because they hear from the tour company that it's included.

When I worked at a tour desk, I always read the notes. If it says "Tip is included ｝"
, I tell the customer "Tip is included. If it says "Tip is included ," we tell the customer, and add, "Anything more than that is at your own discretion.
I add, "If you want more, please use your own discretion.

As for the "what about certain prefectures", maybe you are using the same tour company ？ then
it must be because that tour company tells you that the price includes the tip.

Judging a tour company on the basis of the nationality of a certain prefecture, that is a disqualification for a tour company.
Then I think you should quit the tour operator.
