It could be single life ？ or married life ？
it depends.
Married people work together, so they may have more money than singles.
Single to retirement: .... If you don't make a lot of money and don't have a deposit, it's going to be tough.
I would recommend finding a partner who is gentle and lives well.　Good luck.

Bribed meals tend to lack vegetables🥬.
I am a volunteer at a farm and can get organic vegetables. I go to Alamoana once a week, so please let me know your contact information so I can bring some to you.
You can also get them at the local Food Bank or at the church (Union Charch). There is nothing worse than having to worry about food ．.

Where do you think Waikiki is in Tokyo ？?

Question

This is a silly question, but Waikiki is almost like Asakusa in Tokyo for me because I almost never go there as a tourist, but I think everyone has a different image, so what kind of image do you have ？
If you have a more sparkling image, it would be Odaiba or something.

It seems that the government is dividing the wealthy (Market Price) and the common people (Affordable) in the same condominium in order to prevent the deterioration of public safety. The lower floors may be Affordable.

Affordable units can be bought for about $250,000 less depending on the property, but some of them do not have access to a gym.

Since Corona, many investors and remote workers have moved to Hawaii, and
single-family homes have skyrocketed. Condos have also gone up.

Hawaii is an island, so I think of it as comfortable country living.
It cannot be compared to a Japanese place. It is totally different from Japan.

The reason I started this topic is because I told someone who lives in Japan that I live near Waikiki but rarely go there and he wondered why I don't go there. ？ I thought it was Asakusa, but I wondered if there was a better analogy.
I think it is natural for everyone to feel differently. There is no correct answer.

Questions about rental contracts

Problem / Need advice
#1
  • Kanaina
  • mail
  • Today 09:51

I am currently living in my current rental and have been renting for 2.5 years and have renewed for a one year contract.
Last October, the realtor staff asked me by text what I wanted to do with the contract, and I replied that I would like to renew.
After waiting for a while and not receiving the contract, I recently called the realtor staff to ask them to send me the contract as I needed to verify my address, but since the contract was not yet signed, the State of Hawaii rules state that if the contract is not renewed, it automatically becomes a monthly contract, and apparently it had been treated as such since October, and even though we had informed the realtor's staff of our intention to renew last October, we were surprised to be treated as if this had never happened.
We did not expect to be told such a thing by the real estate agent who had asked us about our intention to renew, let alone by our lawyer.

I asked a cheap legal advice on the internet and was told that it is not illegal for the realtor not to send the contract, even if the text is still there, and that the realtor told me that the price will increase from June, which is not the month I signed the contract, but if I inform him before 45 days, there is no problem. I was told that it would not be a problem as long as I informed them 45 days in advance. We thought that the next price increase would be in October, since we had intended to sign a one-year contract starting in October. When I told this to the realtor, he said that if that was true, the price was supposed to increase last October. However, if that was the case, the agent should have originally informed me of that change in August, even though we never had that exchange.

I thought that changes to a contract only become effective after a written contract is exchanged, but I would appreciate it if someone familiar with real estate rules could tell me how to avoid such a situation.
Thank you in advance.

What did they say ？ What did they do to you ？

I heard that many people
discriminate against people who work in housekeeping cleaning. It's a job you don't have to have a college degree to do.

Discrimination in real estate? ？ It's an industry where many people are doing so much ？ Where did you get discriminated ？
Well, but in the US, when you go to the mainland, it's more Asian hate.　I hear Hawaii is still better.　Hawaii is said to be a better place to live with more than 30% Asians. By the way, my sister-in-law is also Asian, but she was super sexually harassed, morally harassed, and power-harassed by a Korean insurance company.　There is a government office for harassment in the US. I think you can sue them.

Regarding vaccinations required for preschool enrollment from Japan

Problem / Need advice

I have a son who will be 3 years old in April.
He is still in Japan and we plan to enter Hawaii in mid-June to start preschool in July.
We are still undecided on when we will be able to get insurance for our son, so we are planning to get the necessary vaccinations in Japan before entering the country.

So I am having trouble finding out about this.
① The vaccine for Hepatitis A is 2 doses of Aimgen approved in Japan
→ I will get an additional dose at a pediatrician in Hawaii after 6 months
Will Aimgen be recognized as a vaccine for Hepatitis A ？

② MR is I have been vaccinated, but not for Otafuku.
Should I give MMR ？ Is it OK to give only mumps ？

I have inquired at preschools and Japanese outpatient clinic for vaccines for overseas travel but still do not know.
If you have any experience or know more about this, I would love to know.

Thank you very much.

予防接種に関しては息子さんがお世話になる小児科を決めて、そこのドクターにアドバイスを貰う事になるのでは無いでしょうか？

I don't know if this will be helpful as it is a bit old, but
Here is the information about the immunization shots when my son came to Hawaii in 2018 at the age of 4.

MR, mumps, and chickenpox are live vaccines in Japan, so we had to re-give inactive vaccines.

Hib is covered by one MMRV （ combined measles, mumps, rubella, and chickenpox ） in Hawaii.

As a result, the inoculations I had in Japan were much wasted.
Even if I had received all the routine inoculations, I would have had to get 4 additional inoculations: 1 quadruple combination DPT-IPV, 1 MMRV, 1 measles, and 1 Hib.

In my case, I myself had come to HA first and consulted with the pediatrician, but was told that I could not proceed until he arrived
My husband and son arrived,
I requested the shots along with the physical examination to be submitted to the preschool,
and checked them against my mother-child book. I checked it against my mother's health handbook and got the necessary inoculations3.

Central Union can get you in if you donate money. There are many Japanese children who are expatriates and come in halfway through the year. The local resident group has an exam every year in January, but there are no children who come in from the middle of the year because they are expatriates or something. Recently in the last three or four years, the popularity of the school has decreased and if they take the exam, they all pass, so that may have something to do with it.

Hello.
I just moved to Hawaii from Japan last October
and enrolled my daughter in Central Union.
We got in without any test or interview. ！
Since I didn't understand English very well, a Japanese speaking person from Central Union accompanied me to visit the school.

When I arrived in Hawaii, I made an appointment to visit the school and was allowed to tour the school. I visited a pediatrician who speaks Japanese and got a certificate for necessary vaccinations. I showed my MCH handbook to the pediatrician and everything went smoothly, including the missing vaccinations ？ ！.

They have a cheap cell phone company in the Cultural Center in Chinatown. My mother-in-law is a subscriber and my husband wants to switch to it, say $10 ／ a month if you only need 1 gig. We can use Wi-Fi inside the house, so if you only use the phone outside, that's probably cheaper.

2GB data, unlimited text, unlimited calls on Tello is a little over $ 10 a month.
I'm almost always going back and forth between work and home, so even 2GB of data is too much.
Tello must be using T-Mobile's signal, but I don't see any problems in town.
Unlimited calls to Japanese landlines.
You must buy a separate credit to call Japanese mobiles （ Never used ）.
I am satisfied with it for my use.

PrePaid Phone is fine ？

It uses a major cell phone company's line, so you should have no problems.

I use US Mobile. The line is T-Mobile, so there is no problem at all.

It depends on the plan, but the Unlimited plan includes Japanese landline, cell phone,
and Text Message.

I am on the cheapest plan because I have another cell phone.
That one uses the government Plan, but with an AT&T line. This one
offers unlimited calls to Japanese landlines and cell phones.

There are many different companies, so you should check them out.

He says he has to make 14 round trips between Japan and Hawaii to bring his pets to Hawaii.
He announced that he will apply for a tourist visa to move to Hawaii.

Several Hawaii residents kindly commented that applying for a tourist visa for immigration purposes is a false application, but he hides them all.

This person has not said ？ at all how to immigrate to the US, whether it is a visa or permanent residency.

You say it is illegal to stay here illegally, then what are you going to do ？ but at this person's age, a student visa is a tough sell.
A 90-day tourist visa would certainly be denied as well.

Even if he could get a tourist visa, he would be suspicious if he gets a tourist visa over and over again.

When I lived in CA, there was a person who actually did a dream like this one and was denied entry to the US. He said he was a
permanent resident, but he actually entered the US three times in one year as a tourist without a visa, and one day he was
spotted by the immigration officer, who told him, "The next time you try to enter the US, I will arrest you." I was told by the immigration officer, "If you try to enter the U.S. again, I will arrest you," and I was deported with an entry denial.

Through my lawyer, I filed a lawsuit with the CA Supreme Court, saying that the denial of entry was illegal and that I should be allowed to enter the country.
The court rejected my application and I am still not allowed to enter the country.

If you come and go every 3 months and follow the rules （ and are not here illegally ） then I think you are free to go.
If you are suspicious, you will be caught at immigration when you enter the country.

I think what is more problematic than this person is people who are not returning home and are staying illegally even though their stay has expired.
Even though the immigration checks are strict, once you enter, they don't check anything after that.
