I have a question for those who have had orthodontic treatment in Hawaii. I would like to get braces, but I feel that the price at the first dentist I went to was a little higher than I expected. I would appreciate it if you could tell me how much it cost and which dentist you used.

Plans to enter the U.S. via non-rev, travel to Germany via Chicago

Hello.
I am not married, but due to his work, I will be entering the US as a non-rev. The last time I stayed for a month and a half, I was sent to a separate room for 2 hours at immigration.
I heard that the examiner can see the seating order and whether you are non-rev or not, so that's why he put me in a different room.
(I didn't tell them he was there. )
Next time I am going to Germany with him as a non-rev, will it be ok ?
because it would not be funny if I am rejected to enter the US ….
If you know anything about non-rev and Japanese nationals only, please let me know.
Thank you very much.

About UV CUT film on window glass

I would like to put a uv cut film on my
window glass because of the strong sunlight coming in through the window.
I live in an apartment and the windows are large, but
is it OK if I apply it personally ?
Also, since the windows are a bit large, it is difficult to apply it by myself, so I would like to ask a contractor if I can, but I would like to know who has done it in the past and who you would recommend. I would like to know who has done it in the past and who they recommend.
Also, do you think it will peel off cleanly when I leave the apartment ??

Please tell me. I have a dog. My current pet clinic has a nice staff, but I don't trust them very much. They make mistakes on my bill, don't present me with the information I need, and don't really know what I'm asking.
Do you have any recommendations for a reliable pet clinic somewhere ?
From Kahala area to Kakaako area would be helpful.
It would be best if you have someone who can speak Japanese, but even if you don't, please let me know if you know of any great places ! ! to go.
Thank you very much.

I bought a 10 year old used car last year and it broke down right away and I was out of $5000.

I think it is better to buy a newer car, but how old do you think it should be ?

Also, what make of car is better ?

The color must be white or black, thinking about selling it next.

Tipping on Tours

I work in the tour industry. Compared to people from other countries, Japanese people tip extremely little. Perhaps it is because you don't know, but I have lived in the U.S. for a long time and sometimes I don't like the fact that Japanese people don't have a good reputation. I will write this in reference to the tips I myself pay in Hawaii or when I go abroad. By the way, I am not particularly rich and have a normal income & When I act with my foreign friends, the other party is also like this.

restaurant ( sit down meal ) = 20%, at least 15% if service is slow or something
pick up of hoardings or drinks at a take-out store = $ 0 to lowest option ( 10, 1 5% or $1, etc., depending on terminal )
Valet car rental, etc. at hotel ( Tipping staff for valet services = $5 to
Tipping tour guides and others who have helped you = $10 or more, $20 or more for group participation. More if there is a high level of satisfaction or if the service is above normal expectations.

I understand very much that the yen is weak, but I am very disappointed when I see people tipping less than $5 on tours. If you would like to know more, please let me know...

I have completed my OPT and received my nursing license. So even if I find a job, I cannot work immediately because I do not have a work permit. I expect it will probably take at least 6 months for it to take effect. For this reason, I am considering transferring to another language school to maintain my visa until I find a job, but as an alternative plan, I am wondering if I can return to Japan once I find a job and stay in Japan until my work permit is issued. Is this plan really difficult?

I got some coffee beans, do you know where I can grind them ? I've seen them at Costco, but I can't use them unless I buy the beans there ? I'll probably only use them this once, so I'm not sure if I should bother buying meal.
