I am very concerned about the spots on my face and would like to take the plunge and have them removed at a clinic.
Please let me know if there are any recommended clinics in the Honolulu area.
I would also like to know if you have any experience with spot removal, how much it cost, and how many days it took to be able to wear makeup. I have several spots on my face that are 3-5mm in size and I am very concerned about them.

I think it is better to do it in Japan because it is expensive here
Also, if you are worried about blemishes, you should not live in Hawaii where the sun shines all year round.

Depending on what kind of blemish it is, it is better to consult a dermatologist than a cosmetic clinic.
In my experience, if it is a small blemish, Tri-Luma cream prescribed by the dermatologist will make it disappear and the area where the blemish was applied will look brighter in 2 weeks. It is not covered by insurance and costs about ＄ 270 per bottle, but it disappears in 2 weeks and is so strong that it is better not to use it continuously, so one bottle is enough. When I used it a few years ago, it was ＄ a little over 200, but when I recently got a prescription to use it again, the price had gone up. So I am now looking at using another brand of cream, although this time it is not as famous and I was told it would take longer to show results. I have been to a beauty clinic called Imperial Facial
for about 900 for a course of 8 sessions ＄ but it didn't work at all. Some of my ex-colleagues say that they were able to lighten the big spots that had been bothering them there for a long time.

Thanks for the info!
I will go to the dermatologist and ask.

What I was looking for was information, no negative feedback needed.

About Japanese Language School

Question

My child is still very young so it will be a while before he/she attends, but I am looking into it. I think the most famous Japanese language school is Rainbow Gakuen, but what is the difference between Rainbow and Sakura Japanese Language Preschool that I found while researching ？ I know that Sakura is from 2 years and 10 months to about 5 years old ？ and Rainbow has a kindergarten (from what age, I'm not sure) to middle school.
Either way, these are the only ones that I know of. In any case, these are Japanese language supplementary schools, not like pre-schools where you leave your child ？ I wonder if most people who send their children to these schools send them to both pre-schools and Japanese language schools ？ My old boss's child used to say Rainbow only on Saturday I think I read somewhere that if a child cannot speak Japanese to some extent, he/she cannot even enroll in Rainbow. Is it difficult to get in ？
Various questions themselves are vague, but if you know anything about these facilities, please let me know.

Hello ！
I am a newcomer who just landed in Hawaii 3 days ago ！
I am here to work for a couple of years for a job.

Hawaii is a very nice place, but …
I still don't know what's right and left and I'm still worried.

To those of you who live in Hawaii, could you please tell me of a Japanese community where I can exchange various information
？
I think it would be a waste if I stay in Hawaii ！
I would appreciate it very much. Thank you very much.

Nice to meet you ！
There are probably many different genres of Japanese communities in Hawaii.
I don't know what you recommend because I don't know your gender and generation, HARU. There are many Christians and Soka Gakkai in Hawaii. There are also many network business invitations. There's a lot of interaction between moms and dads. Many people are in the real estate business.
I meet Japanese acquaintances when I go to izakaya.

I think everything is like friends, so as you make friends through common interests
you will meet various groups and friends.
I hope you enjoy living in Hawaii!

T-mobile phone with a Magenta55 plan.

I have a question for those on the same plan.

Is it correct that it is 0.25 per minute $ to call a landline in Japan from Hawaii ？
and is there a charge for the other party as well ？
is this the same amount to call a landline in Japan or is this the same amount when calling a Japanese landline in Japan? ？

One more thing, when I travel to Japan with this phone, will it be
as easy as before to connect to a local carrier and use international roaming ？

If you know, please help. Thank you very much.

That's about the price. I call my mother every day and it's never too expensive or difficult.
I don't think she calls the other end. I have only called landlines.

T-Mobile: Welcome to Japan! Your plan includes coverage that gives you unlimited data On Us now at faster speeds up to 256Kbps, plus unlimited texts at no extra cost. Calls are $ 0.25/min. Want high-speed data and unlimited calling? Get an International Pass: t-mo.co/intl-pass1 Enjoy your stay!

When you arrive in Japan and turn on your phone, you will get this message.

Postscript ： I think it was Softbank ？ I called my parents' house and
I called the hotel. I made a call in the same way as I do in Japan.
No area code within the same city, or something like that.

Dear Halo

Thank you for your prompt reply. If it can be used in this way, it is very helpful for the low price.

How to call a Japanese landline from Hawaii on your cell phone

Question

I use a prepaid account with a company called MYSTAR GOLD to call Japan.
I have been using this company for a long time and have no problems, but from the time I first started using them until now
the company name has changed about twice. I think the first one was called MYSTAR123.
I decided to recharge my account because my balance was getting low and when I looked for the website
I found that the website was gone.
Periodically I get text messages from this company saying 50% off or sale if I recharge today
so it seems I can recharge if I call them.
However, I am concerned because the website that used to be there is gone.
I would like to know if anyone has used this company and recharged over the phone and had any problems.
Or what other methods （ or companies ） do you recommend for calling Japan?
Thanks in advance.

I buy a PennyTalk prepaid card at Longs. Each time I buy a card for $ 25, it says 4 ¢ per minute for calls to Japan. I rarely have the opportunity to make international calls to Japanese phones, but I always have it on hand for calls to hospitals and other places where I can't reach someone without a phone call.

I am on Skype's Japan Unlimited Min Landlines plan. I pay about $ 11 every 3 months and I think the annual fee is even more discounted. That's what you get with Unlimited. Useful for calling my parents' house. When I call from Skype, I just run the Skype app on my phone and call directly from there to a landline in Japan （ 81- number. ）. It's easy and convenient.

Thanks for the training

information.
In my case, I would prefer to use
a prepaid card rather than paying ＄ 11 every 3 months since I only call Japanese landlines 3-4 times a year.
but I will refer you to it. Thank you very much.

To attach a photo to a post to the information board
https://bizarea.vivinavi.com/download/email_post.pdf
Also, I don't know how to attach a photo to a response post to the board, but you can ask the other person to reply to your e-mail and If you receive an e-mail from the other party via Vivinavi, you can attach a photo to the e-mail reply.

I just tried to do it again and found that I can do it the same way as attaching to a regular email ！ I usually only text and don't use email much, so I was wondering if there was a special way to do it because it was an email for vivinavi. Thank you.
