Good evening.
I suddenly got boils on my legs and I showed my home doctor
a picture of them and he said they were bed bugs.
I was really surprised because it was my first time and I got rid of the bed bug and
it went away immediately with steroid ointment.

It looked like a pimple and it happened so suddenly
I thought maybe it was the same thing.

I searched around and found that they are often found in beds in both Japan and the US, so
be careful.

Thanks for your reply.
Is it a bed bug ！ I hadn't thought of that idea. I have an image that bedbugs tend to bite soft parts of the body and if they bite you, they itch enough to scratch you, but I don't itch and I don't see any bite marks on my body. By the way, I also looked at the bed, but could not find any bugs. However, I thought I would try applying the steroid ointment I have once. Thank you for sharing your precious experience.

When I was in my late twenties, I started to get acne around my chin due to hormonal imbalance. （ At that time I was living in Japan and had irregular menstruation and visited a Japanese doctor. ） A hormone test showed a high male hormone level, and the doctor explained to me that when a woman's male hormone level increases, the amount of sebum increases in areas where men grow beards, such as around the chin and mouth, making it easier for acne to appear. After that, I tried various skin care products, but they had no effect at all. When I started taking pills, my acne completely disappeared. I have heard that the pill is not recommended for people in their 40s because the risk of blood clots increases, so I am not sure if the pill would be a good solution for you, sakura. However, since you seem to think that the acne is caused by hormones, I think it would be better to see a gynecologist instead of a dermatologist. I wish you a speedy recovery.

Thank you for your reply. And thank you for your kind words. It sounds like it would be a good idea to have my hormone levels checked once by a gynecologist instead of a dermatologist. I have many ideas, so I will see a gynecologist. Thank you for sharing your valuable experience.

According to information from Japanese broadcasters and producers,
Japanese-language broadcasting is legal in North America ・ and distribution service companies are limited, while other companies are illegal
, Other companies are illegal （ I think they mean Japanese law ）.

There was a discussion in another post about the gray area if the server is overseas （ I checked this too, and found information that uploading to the server from Japan is out of compliance with the Japanese copyright law ）,
which is a violation of the law. ？ I think it is difficult to expect morals from a company that is distributing a Japanese program with a high level of respect for the copyright holder's rights. After all, it is a company that ignores the rights of copyright holders and tries to make money with minimal investment. I understand that you want to watch Japanese popular movies.
Also, there seems to be criticism of Japanese broadcasters who do not allow overseas distribution.
However, the current situation is that there are companies that make money by taking advantage of such feelings of Japanese people overseas,
and then go into hiding when their position becomes unfavorable.

I wonder if each person understands that much before using the company.

Sorry for the length.

I see people with carriers on the side of their bicycles, not a lot, but I see them.
I saw one yesterday in Waikiki.
I often see scooters with carriers attached.
I was under the mistaken impression that only vehicle registration was required for driving, but it seems that a driver's license is necessary.
According to the following, there is a Class 1 license for moped driving only.
https://hawaiimoped.com/hawaii-moped-laws/

Here is the site of Honolulu city authorities.
https://www8.honolulu.gov/csd/motorcycle-or-moped-drivers-license-information/
After getting a provisional license, there are some restrictions such as not being able to drive with two passengers and not being able to drive at night. but you can drive.
I think a provisional license is valid for 1 year. ？ I am not sure.

I think the practical test is held at the license center in Pearl City, using their own moped.

In general, I think it is easier than getting a car license.

For reference.

Thank you very much.
I am relieved that I can use the carrier.

The website says that mopeds can be driven with any class of license, but can I drive with a regular international driver's license?

I don't know much about driving a moped with a Japanese license （ ＋ or an international license ）.
However, since cars are supposed to be allowed to drive mopeds, I assume that backward compatible mopeds are also allowed to drive mopeds ？.

Just to be clear, it is important to keep your Japanese driver's license.
Also, a Japanese driver's license is only valid for one year from the date of arrival in Hawaii. The Consulate-General of Honolulu recommends that you carry documentation to show the date and time of your entry into the country.
The following is a passport, but you should definitely avoid carrying valuables when surfing （ Thefts can easily occur on the beach ）.
You might, for example, keep a passport copy with you and take the original later if the police ask for it.

The following is another resource provided by the Consulate General of Honolulu, Japan.
https://www.honolulu.us.emb-japan.go.jp/jp/ryoji/pdf/menkyosho1.pdf

You can call them for assistance in Japanese.

I didn't know there was a way to call the consulate. Thank you very much.
I think it would be safest to just get an international driver's license and get it there.

In Japan, people sometimes leave a plastic bag with a smartphone in it on the beach and go into the ocean, but in Hawaii, it seems to be very strict.
I will take the real opinion of the local people as a reference.
Thank you very much.

Sad to say, but there is a lot of beach leave-taking and bicycle ・ scooter theft.

Bicycles must be locked with separate chains for the front and rear wheels, and the body must be U-locked as well, or some parts will be stolen. Everyone uses scooters with very thick chains for locks. I think the thin ones get cut by wire cutters.

Many locos who come to the beach with cars put a special key （ for opening doors ） that has only the key part and no electronic parts in the inside pocket of their swimsuit and go into the water.
Also, there are many people who hang a key box on their car, but this is to say that the keys are here, and the box can be exploited and the car stolen.
I myself bury my keys in the sand to open the door （ I park my car so far away that it is virtually impossible to connect the keys to the car ）.
However, in my friend's case, he had his car stolen because he was seen from the moment he got out of his car to the moment he hid his keys.

So, although this may sound a bit threatening, please be careful about theft when you are here.

Since there seems to be no information from anyone

In the U.S., where demand for cars is high, "leasing" is more popular than in Japan. Leasing a car, which is also common in Hawaii, is a system similar to renting a car for a long period of time, where you only pay for the depreciation, or the period of time you lease the car within the price of that car.

The lease term is usually 3 to 5 years, depending on how long you plan to stay in Hawaii as an exchange student.

You will need a driver's license, SSN （ Social Security Number ）, and credit history in the U.S. You are also required to have insurance. Insurance is also required. There are agencies in Honolulu that can help you purchase insurance for Japanese people.

Another is a car share called HUI.

To car share,
first create an account on their website,
reservations are made through the app （ free ）

・ 19 years or older with a US license ・ 25 years old or older with international driver's license
・ 18 months or more since obtaining driver's license
Less than 3 minor violations within 18 months
・
・ No serious violations in the past 3 years

Insurance and gasoline included

$12.00 per hour
$125.00 per day

You can rent a car at Ala Moana, airport, Kaimuki, Waikiki, etc.

rak,

Yes ～, then you may have done all you can.
As I mentioned before, if your router has LEDs, you may be able to get some idea of what is going on by looking at the blinking LEDs. It would also be useful to explain the situation to the provider.

It is also possible that there is an internet outage all around your home
In that case, you will get a good WiFi signal on your phone or PC （ but no internet connection ）.

I'm not sure if the problem is due to bad weather ？
We recently replaced our router with a newer one, but the last few days have not been good. It is very common to suddenly lose connection during hurricane season, heavy rain, or strong winds. It is a common occurrence in Hawaii.

It's not the weather. It's just a system problem.

If you don't update your system, it will become unusable one day.

The TV screen, email, etc. will tell you that the Internet will be unavailable for
this time on this day because of the update. You will receive a message saying
.

Maybe the update did not work.

Weather will not cause equipment malfunction.

All are system problems.

I have consulted with the Humane Society before for similar advice. I was told that they would loan me a trap and I would set it up and capture the animal myself. I was told that I would be neutered once captured and then released in the same place, and I gave up because that would not be a solution.

I think you must be an unhappy person in real life,
to be able to throw so many malicious words at someone you don't even know their face.
Your language is not beautiful, and your mind must be sober, I'm sure. My husband was in his 50s when our youngest was born. You don't have to be a multi-millionaire
to have children in your 50s. You may be a very spiritually and financially unfulfilled person.

If you are testing to see if WiFi strength is the issue,
I think the first step would be to check if your equipment works near WiFi.
If you find out, you don't have to change your equipment such as Ethernet cable or WiFi router location.
