I'm planning to send a small package to my family in Japan
I'm concerned about shipping costs due to various recent price increases
I'm planning to send it in a small box, but I imagine it's about the size of a boot box
I'm thinking of the post office, UPS, or Yamato
. Which do you guys use for lower shipping costs
any ideas or advice
please let me know!

I think Kuroneko Yamato was affordable. ( There are some rules such as only one type in the same box, but it was a lot cheaper than the post office for the same weight ).

I am the one who asked a flight question about the shipping cost of the calendar in #2. I just shipped from the post office counter. One $ was 9.16. The last year I shipped, it was a little over $5.00, so the price had almost doubled, but I thought the price would have gone up more, so I was a little relieved that it was within $10.00 for one. I also noticed while waiting my turn in front of the post office door that there is a scale outside the door and you can follow the directions on the panel to weigh your postage. I will use this next time.

Aloha!
Hello.

I'm a man approaching 60 years of age who plans to live a dual life in Japan and Hawaii in the next year or so.

I would like to meet people close to my age, both men and women, in Hawaii. I would appreciate it if you could give me some recommendations for circles and gathering places.
I am not particular about the genre, but I would like information about what I like ・ I would like to have a long-lasting relationship with people who have common interests.

Hobbies ・ In sports, I used to play rugby and golf, and I also like walking and hiking.
Other than that, I like finance ・ investment, Japanese history, comedy, eating good food, and drinking beer and shochu.
I am also interested in surfing and fishing, although I have never done so.

I look forward to meeting you.

Thank you for your information.
walking soccer ! ?
I searched the net. I see, that's good. !
Rugby also has a game called touch foot, so this is a soccer version of it.
There seems to be a World Cup, and quite a few women play too.

I played soccer in elementary and junior high school, so I would love to try it.
I used to see kids playing soccer at Kapiolani Park, but I didn't know they had one for seniors. I will be in Hawaii for two months from January to February and would be happy to visit you.
We will contact you at the number you listed.

How to use antipyretics for babies

My 1 year old has a fever and the doctor told me to use Tylenol and Advil every 3 hours alternating. \Â(Not necessary if he sleeps through the night. \Â Yesterday at midnight she cried and was hot, so I gave her the medicine, and in the morning she was still a little over 100℉, so I gave it to her, and at noon she was a little below 100℉ and my husband said she didn't need any more medicine, so I didn't give it to her. Three hours later it was still below. When I measured it before bed, it was a little over 100℉, and my mother-in-law told me why I didn't give her medicine every 3 hours !, so I was on the board of my husband and mother-in-law. \.(By the way, I'm living with my mother-in-law now. \I am not sure if I should have given her medicine for a while even if it was below 100℉ ? How long is the rule of thumb that you don't have to give her medicine ?
Please share your experience, not just ask your own pediatrician.

I was a nurse in Japan over 20 years ago.

This is just my personal opinion
When my son had a fever,
if it was over 103 ° F and he was limp, I would give him a fever reducer.
If it was lower than that, I did not give it.
The reason for 103 ° F is that a sudden rise in temperature can cause febrile convulsions.


When the body temperature rises, viruses and bacteria in the body become less active.
The activity of the body's immune cells increases, increasing their ability to attack viruses and bacteria.
Fever is a command from the brain to raise body temperature to fight viruses and bacteria.
Children have immature body temperature regulation.
Unlike adults, they easily develop high fevers, but they protect themselves by doing so, keeping pathogens at bay.

Just ask your doctor if you have any symptoms such as not peeing, not drinking milk, or being limp.

Thank you ! !
min, you would have handled it without meds until 103℉. I would not want to use medicine as much as possible. In the case of my child this time, I only noticed that she was not feeling well because she was hot and lying down instead of playing, and when I asked her how she was she returned with energy. But maybe he didn't know what energetic meant. Now the fever seems to be down because his body is not hot anymore. I'll take her temperature in the morning and discuss with my family what to do about medicine, or since it's Monday, I'll also discuss with my family about calling the doctor. My mother-in-law is Japanese-American, so she thought I didn't understand English, and this time I also felt the difficulty of international marriage.

For girls who are in the process of getting married

Relationship / Friendship
#1
  • Allure
  • mail
  • 2023/10/01 10:47

I am a woman living in Hawaii.

I heard from a male friend of mine who is engaged to be married.

He said that girls who are Japanese tourists and are engaged to be married don't know too much about the high cost of living in Hawaii.

You shouldn't say you want to get married, move to Hawaii and become a housewife.

No matter how beautiful you are, how healthy you are, how good your character is, marriage is a life.

Most couples living in Hawaii work together. Even the wives of doctors.

The cost of living is 2-3 times that of Japan. Japan is the only developed country where prices and incomes have remained almost the same for decades. Hawaii is America, so men and women are equal. It is not uncommon to find couples where the wife earns more than the husband.

If you want to have children, you should earn your own money as well as your husband's.

If your husband has already paid off the mortgage, that's still fine, but if you both buy the house and pay for it together, you can pay it off faster and have more credit in your own history in the future.

If the husband dies first, the wife won't even get a survivor's pension until she is in her 60s.

Too few companies will hire a Japanese woman in her 60s who has never worked in Hawaii at all.

Start working in your 20s, 30s, and 40s to gain experience. I used to be a tourist living in Japan, so I would be very happy if I could be of help.

So you get married, regret it, and get divorced.

You finally meet a man who makes the same or more money than you and remarry. Japanese women.

If you live in Hawaii, there are many Hawaii men looking for Japanese women. Regardless of nationality.

Japanese women are popular not only with Asian, Middle Eastern, and mixed, but also with white and black men, so good luck Japanese men ! !.

Are white men still popular these days ?
I don't think so in Hawaii.
I feel that there are surprisingly many people who remarry Japanese after divorcing white men.

I guess it's a matter of fate and preference.

Some people have a Japanese husband the first time in Japan and a white husband the second time in Hawaii, and a black husband.

Some people are also white the second time and black the second time.

I have never met a Japanese man living in Hawaii whose wife is not Japanese ( White Black Asian other ).

I still wonder if many Japanese men are looking for Japanese women.

Yes, I agree.
Japanese women have married and remarried to people of various races, not only Caucasians.

Japanese men have only met Japanese women who are wives.
If there are any men here in Vivinavi who have wives of non-Japanese race
I would be happy to hear various opinions.

Dear Second and Two

Thank you for your reply. I learned a lot.
It is a marriage, isn't it?

But have you married or remarried a white or black man
and has it lasted ? long?

I'm concerned about the spots on my face
they are due to age and UV rays
I want to have them removed with a shot
not some souvenir cream
I think it may need to take several times
recommend somewhere, anyone with experience please tell me
I also want to know how much it costs
how much for 5 times.
I would like to know how much it costs for 5 sessions, and if there is a tip, I would like to know that too.
I am waiting for the information that it is relatively cheap and effective
.

Even if the treatment suppresses the spots,
if you live as usual again,
the sun will make the spots even darker where the skin has become thinner.
Then it would be better to spend money on care
that will not cause spots in the future.

I have had severe melasma and sun spots, so I have been seeing Masami at Imperial Facial in Waikiki. She gives me a thorough consultation and clearly tells me which spots cannot be removed by laser. I think there was also a package price.

I don't know if it's sun spots or melasma ? I don't know, but I have tried many lasers and the type of laser that works depends on the type of blotch, so you should have it looked at once. I have been seeing Masami at Imperial Facial in Waikiki. She tells me about blemishes that cannot be removed by laser.  I think the consultation is free. https://www.imperialfacial.com/

Can you recommend a kitchen renovation contractor?

Housing
#1
  • Mana

  • 2023/09/03 07:48

We are considering renovating the kitchen in our condo. It is a small kitchen, so commercial cabinets won't fit. I got a quote from Home Depot for $16,000 for just the cabinets. With countertops, appliances, and the constructor's fee, it will be about $25,000. ∑ (゚ Д ゚ )
Knowing how well thought out and modern Japanese cabinetry is, I honestly don't want to spend this amount on an orthodox cabinet design that hasn't been updated in decades.
Also, Godern cabinet company quoted us less than half the price of Home Depot if we use all the standard ready-made cabinets, but the material inside the cabinets is of a certain quality (the mirror surface is good quality, so it looks good), so it looks like it will not be durable &. I am not sure if it is easy to use or not, so I am not sure if I can decide.

So, I would like to hear your experiences.
Please tell us your success stories, failures, recommendations for cabinet companies, constructor companies, etc. !

In particular, we would like to know about companies that offer Japanese-style cabinet designs inside !
Thank you very much.

When I remodeled my kitchen a few years ago, I had a hard time finding a contractor. I wish I had waited a little longer, because nowadays there are places that sell Japanese system kitchens ~. is custom made by a company that deals with California closets in Kahala Mall.

I renovated about 10 years ago using a constructor that a Realtor referred me to.

This is a cabinet shop near Cosco, I chose this place after 3 quotes because it was the cheapest and fastest time frame.

The workmanship was not bad.

I don't know how much it costs now because it was 10 years ago. 1bd room Renovation of kitchen and bathroom cost less than $10,000 at that time.
