Hello. I took the 3 year old test at Central Union this past January. I wanted to put my daughter in a pre-school (3 year old class ， I was 2 years old and my daughter was born in June and she was much younger than the children born in August/September.
15 minutes only children entered the classroom with about 4 children and parents waited in the church. I asked my daughter and she said they played with toys. We received the results by letter two weeks later. My daughter was lucky to be accepted, but I heard that the ratio was much higher than last year. This year, however, it is difficult because of the high ratio of applicants.

However, I would not send them to Central Union. After all, Central Union only has pre, and Punahou and Iolani don't have very high acceptance rates these days, and everyone seems to be going to Midpac, St. Andrews, and Montessori. Many children are going to Public, and Central Union does not seem to be a feeding school to Punahou and Iolani as it used to be.
Same as Waiokeola these days.

If you want to put your child in public kinder, Central Union is a great place to grow and have a child free atmosphere.
However, if you are thinking about taking the Kinder exam, it would be difficult to do so at Central Union.

Thank you for the details ！ 2 ・ Even 3 year olds are tested or checked. I was surprised to find out that there is a preschool for 3 year olds. ‼️ I just did a search for preschools and found out that there is a school for 3 year olds to get accepted to preschools, which is unbelievable. I am not thinking of taking the entrance exam. I have lived in Hawaii for a long time, but I am completely ignorant about parenting and education, and I only recently found out that Central Union is a pre-school. I thought it was just a regular church. A friend of mine told me that Kaimuki's preschool is also good, so I am considering that as well.

I got my pearl necklace fixed at a store called "Beads It" around 11th Ave. in Kaimuki.
I looked for a lot of places, but Bead-it was the most conscientious and polite shop I could find.

I see that you have searched too, Coffee Milk … I am very careful with my precious things. I will try to contact them.

I am having trouble connecting to the Hinabi server, so my response took a while. Is it just me ？ I've been getting a lot of connection errors lately …
Thanks for the good information.

There is also a place on the 4th floor of Macy's in Ala Moana that fixes jewelry and watches. There is quite a line on weekends, but it is surprisingly empty on weekdays. They can fix even high-end items.

Dear SJDummy
Thanks to you, I was able to dine in a private room with 8 friends the other day. We happened to be in Ala Moana and went for an early lunch to make a reservation.
Since there were 8 of us and we were going to use a private room at a busy time, I asked for an appetizer and sushi platter for 8 people in advance to make it as easy as possible for the restaurant to accommodate us. The waitress who took our reservation told us that the special menu would take a long time, so we were grateful for the help. Half of the four of us were ready at the time of our reservation on the day of the event, but another car got stuck in traffic and the remaining four arrived less than 15 minutes late. About 5 minutes after our reservation time, a Japanese man who looked like a chef came and asked, "May I serve you a dish since it is your time

This is off topic, but I have found that even in Japanese companies and restaurants, if you expect the same service as in Japan, you may be disappointed or surprised.
But I love Tonkatsu Tamato because the food is of Japanese quality and the service is courteous and friendly.

I also love Tamato-san. The quality of everything is very high ！ The downside is that it's hard to get reservations (^^;;;
Is it possible to eat and drink inside the restaurant these days ？?

When I had a meal at the counter of Katsumitori Sushi before, the chef in front of me was opening and closing the door with a bang ！ bang ！ about 4 times a minute, so loud that it made me feel restless and uncomfortable and it was ringing in my ears. I was looking forward to sushi, but I lost interest in it.　I thought he was a crass chef. I would have liked to feel a little more hospitality.

About 10 years ago, when I had an emergency return trip to Japan, Delta was very good to me and I have been using Delta Nagoya flights ever since.
I had assumed that I could use this flight, but it has completely changed with Corona.
As you said, Delta does not have domestic flights within Japan, so if you fly to Tokyo and then to Nagoya, you will have to pay extra for the Shinkansen and other expenses. JAL's Nagoya-Tokyo-Honolulu route has many earlier flights departing from Nagoya, so I really hope they will fly as scheduled.

＞ Mr. KUMIHASHI
I am sorry to hear that your booked flight has been cancelled.
I see that you did not receive any notice of cancellation by e-mail or otherwise.
Since the flight itself is cancelled, I hope it is a full refund.
You can call Delta's Japan office at +81-50-3850-8388 ） at 14:00 or earlier in Hawaii and you will be connected immediately.

From a quick look, Honolulu-Haneda flights are currently around $ 1200 for each company.
All companies seem to be charging a fuel surcharge for flights to/from Japan, so the price will go up from October.
I read somewhere that the fuel surcharge for December-January tickets is about the same as for August-September tickets,
I guess it is better to buy now than later ＆ I guess I am safe.

In my case, I was planning to fly to Haneda using e-credit $ 200, but
it was cancelled and I had to give up.

Earlier this year, Delta Air Lines had made the Honolulu － Haneda route available for booking, but
yesterday, when I checked the June flights, only flights via were available.
I called Delta to see if this was the case, and was told that they are currently reconsidering the start date of this route, and
no information has come down to the inquiry desk as to when exactly it will start.

If you have already made a reservation and have not received a flight cancellation notice, please check with us.
The number you can call from the U.S. in Japanese is 800-327-2850.

Honolulu － With this situation at Haneda, it seems unlikely that the Honolulu － Nagoya route will be restored in the near future.
I think we need to consider including credit cards.

By the way, when I checked a few weeks ago,
the second piece of baggage on the Pacific route is now free, the same as before Corona.

Koji,
I am one of those who used to fly Delta because my parents live in Nagoya.
About 2 weeks ago, I was searching for tickets
Honolulu → Haneda → Nagoya for $ 1300.
Haneda to Nagoya was by ANA, so I thought it would be possible if I didn't have to get a separate domestic ticket.

Honolulu → Haneda is the only place to fly with miles, but
I thought it would be a good way to use up the miles I had accumulated.

but I also checked yesterday and it only comes up via Korea.

And while I was in Japan in late January, I saw on the Japanese news that Delta Honolulu ↔ Nagoya is pulling out.

I can't find anything by looking it up, so I'll paste avi-times's.

I have quite a few miles I have saved, but I am thinking of selling them on Mercari in Japan ？.

nuiloamanma,

thanks for the link.
I had seen the news about Delta stopping Nagoya － Detroit flights and withdrawing from Centrair, but I didn't understand until
the link that they were completely withdrawing and would not be coming back in the future.
I know a friend of mine who is a flight attendant for Delta, so I will ask him if I can get the inside scoop.

Honolulu like nuiloamanma found → Haneda → I think it is possible if Delta arranges the flight to Nagoya, but
if not, it is quite hard because the cost of bullet train or domestic flight is added.
The situation may change again when the corona and the weak yen/strong dollar ends and more people travel to Hawaii, but I don't know when that will be ～.

The Amex Delta Gold card seems to be downgradeable to the Blue with no annual fee, so
we don't have to worry about the impact on our credit score.
The recent award for Gold seems to be a 15% reduction in miles required, so it might be a good idea to use that before downgrading. But even with the award, you still need 85,000 miles, which is much higher than in the past. I wonder if the required miles will drop when the fuel surcharge settles down.

You can apply through this website.
You can change your number even during the loan process.
You can enter any number you like (up to 6 alphabetical or numeric digits) and it will tell you if the number is available or not. If the number you like is available, you can apply for it by credit card by paying a fee of about $30 on the web.
You will receive an email when your plate is ready (about 2 ， 3 months from now), so you can either print the email and bring it to the satellite in Ala Moana with the resist, or send the print, resist and a check for the amount you need (about $5) to the DMV and they will mail it to you at a later date. They will send it to you by mail at a later date.

Dear Bogey users

Thank you for your reply.
Actually, someone emailed me directly after this post and I was able to apply for the plate.
The price has now increased to ＄ 60.
Thank you all for your kindness.
Again, one more thing if you don't mind.
I know that I will bring the resist paper when I get the call, but can I have the resist sticker with the old license plate number changed to the resist sticker with the new license plate number ？

and can I keep the old license plate number by myself? ？
I want to keep the license plate I bought when I sell my car.
Also, there is an annual fee ＄ of 60, right? If I don't keep paying it, the license plate I bought will not be mine forever, right?
How can the license plates that are often sold in souvenir shops be made like that ？

If you know anything about this, please post it.

You will also receive a new resist when the new plates are mailed. The sticker is enclosed as well, so don't worry.
You will have to replace the plate yourself when you receive it, so please apply the sticker at that time.
You can keep the old plate if you are not requested to return it. I gave mine as a souvenir to a friend who came to visit from Japan.

When you buy a new car, you can ask the dealer to keep your license plate number.
You can also do it yourself.
If you bring the registry and plates to the satellite in Ala Moana and tell them you want to keep them, they will keep them for up to 60 days and give you a plate with a different number, the registry for that number, and a certificate of custody for your plates.
When the new car is registered, you can take the new car's resist and plate and your plate deposit slip to the satellite and get your plate and resist on the spot.

If you're looking for the original teabag's, Walmart has them.
I bought them about 2 months ago.
I think they were $ 19.99 for a pack of 20.
I have never seen the round tube ones.

They used to be sold at catch usa, but
I think they moved somewhere from Ohana Place in Ward.

Dear nuiloamama2022,
Which corner did you find it in ？ I went to the corner where coffee and tea are sold a few days ago, but I couldn't find it, and I also looked all around the medicine section of the pharmacy …. I would appreciate it if you could tell me if it is in a different corner.

I just checked the site and the Kea Mok store is sold out, but
