My Return to Japan with Unschooled Experience

I returned to Japan last week by JAL to Narita Airport.
The test for the negative certificate was done by Nomi Health. I made an appointment online and went at my preferred time since I could not set a specific time.
I received my test results within 24 hours, logged in and tried to open the PDF file, but it wouldn't open,
I learned that I had to turn off my pop-up blocker, so I turned it off and went back to the Nomi Health download page and pressed the download button. I went back to the Nomi Health download page and pressed the download button, but the download did not work.
Instead, I long-pressed Sign in, chose Copy Link, and pasted it into Google, where it opened the PDF.

The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare asks that
children also obtain a negative test certificate.
However, taking into consideration the fact that many countries do not test preschool children under the age of six as part of their national systems, the quarantine service will ask about the individual circumstances of a preschool child (generally under six) who enters Japan accompanied by a parent or other caretaker who lives with the child, and if the caretaker has a negative test certificate, the child is not subject to the test.
If the child has a negative test certificate, the child does not need to have a test certificate. I checked with JAL and they told me that Hawaii requires a negative test certificate because they test from age 0.
My baby was over 6 months so they did the test.

When I checked in with JAL, I was required to show a negative certificate paper.

The test at Narita Airport was changed to a nasal examination halfway through because the baby's saliva did not seem to collect at all.
We walked a long distance in Narita Airport, so we were glad to have the strollers. I was able to leave the airport about 2 hours after getting off the plane.

Nice to meet you all.

I will be temporarily returning to Japan for a week at the end of this month for the first time in several years.

I currently have a SIM-free iphone, and I was wondering if it is common to buy a temporary SIM card in Japan ?
I would be happy to know how everyone is doing when they return to Japan! !

If you have any recommendations for companies or plans, could you please finish that as well ?.

I haven't been back home for a few years, so this may not be much help. when I returned in 2015, I used a Telecom Square voice SIM, which was cheaper because ANA offered free per day usage. when I checked on the web, I found that a lot has changed in Corona. I checked on the web and it seems to have changed a lot in Corona. Nowadays, there are docomo and Softbank for voice SIM ( that gives you a Japanese mobile number ), but Softbank seems to be a good choice for short term. Prepaid SIMs sold on Amazon and other places are usually data-only, so unless you use LINE or Skype to make calls, it may be a hassle to call people in Japan. If your current carrier in the U.S. is ATT or Verizon, you may be better off with an overseas roaming plan $ 10/day for a short term. For other SIM rentals in Japan, the following URL may be helpful.

How I got hooked on investing in U.S. stocks.

Hi ! I got hooked on investing in US stocks during the pandemic lockdown. I wasn't interested in investing or anything like that, but during the pandemic I thought it was a waste to use my government checks for
shopping, so I used them to invest in US stocks, which I was interested in after watching YouTube during the pandemic.
I would like to exchange information with anyone who is investing in US stocks or interested in doing so. I would like to open a YouTube channel by the end of January next year.
In case you are interested, my current top picks that I actually think are good buys are AFRM ($ 99 below), NIO ($ 29 below), HOOD ($ 18 below), PYPL ($ 185 below). Of course Tesla is nice, but too expensive and unaffordable.
I use Webull for trading, but right now they are running a campaign where if you open a new account and make a deposit of $ 1, you get 5 shares at random. If you want, you can sign up at https://a.webull.com/ga6MAy8TDR1qODkWDp. The referrer also gets a bonus, so it's a win-win. I'm waiting for your comment.

What is the process after a minor collision?

Nice to meet you. I am coming to the Mainland for college this fall. Just before I left Hawaii, I was involved in a minor collision in the Kahala area. The damage to each other's cars was not serious, so we exchanged contact information and that was the end of it. After I arrived at the university, I discovered that the air conditioner did not work when my family drove the car. When I asked them to inspect the car, they made an estimate that the inside of the car was somewhat damaged due to the impact of the collision and needed to be repaired. The damage on the outside was not so bad, but the inside was more damaged than we thought. 

I am responsible for contacting the insurance company, but I have lost their contact information, etc. I lost the data on my phone a few weeks ago and the other person's data is not showing up. I didn't have a backup, so I am really confused. 

In this kind of case, even if I contact the insurance company, will the insurance be denied? ? I am really worried because I am communicating from a remote place. 
I would appreciate any advice you can give me. 
This is my first time and I am not worried. Please help me.

First of all, if you have an accident, no matter how big or small, you have to call the police and ask for a scene investigation and an accident report that will be used by the insurance company to determine the percentage of fault for the accident ?.

Car Insurance When contacting your insurance company

This is my first time here, so please let me know. I will be in the Mainland for college this fall. My car is in Hawaii. Just before I left Hawaii, I had a collision in the Kahala area. It was not a major collision and the damage to both of our cars was not serious, so we exchanged contact information and that was the end of it. A few weeks later, while my family was driving the car, we noticed that the A/C was not working ( I was already in Mainland for college at the time ) I went to have it checked out and was told that the A/C would not work without repairing the front of the car and was given an estimate.  I am prepared to contact the insurance company, but a few weeks ago I dropped my phone and all the data was lost due to a shock or something. I have not even backed up the data. 
I was told that when I contact the insurance company, they will contact the other party's name, address, photo, etc. 
If the other party's information is lost, will insurance be denied? ?

I have asked my family in Hawaii to do the estimates and repairs. I will be the one to contact the insurance company, but is it possible that the insurance will not be reimbursed in this situation ? Please let me know if you have any information in advance. 
This is my first time and I am very anxious. Please help me.

Thank you for your reply.
The accident was in early September. The outside injuries were only grazes, so I let it go. Also, it was a few days before I left for college, so I decided I didn't have time, which was a mistake.
I still wonder if they will accept it without the other person's information ?.

Hawaii is no-fault, so the biggest problem is not the availability of the other party's contact information, but
the lack of a police report when you had your accident.

How can you prove to the insurance company that you had an accident months ago ?
It is useless to even think about it. You just have to give up and think it's a learning experience.

I guess the air conditioner repair will be deductible after all ?

Or if you have car insurance, you can use it to repair it ?

Don't your parents know that much about it? ? don't your parents know that much about it?

As far as I can tell.

There is a "FFCRA Act" for pandemic preparedness, but the target audience is employees working in small businesses with less than 500 employees.

I read an article once that this law was Expired in December 2020 and was re-extended in some states. However, when I checked, I found that the federal Department of Labor website has not updated its explanation of the re-extension.

Federal Department of Labor homepage:
https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/pandemic/ffcra-questions

Is this "FFCRA law" still applicable in Hawaii? If so, we recommend that you contact the Hawaii Department of Labor directly for the most up-to-date information on whether you meet the requirements.

I have found other information since then and will add it. They will be paid UI for a week instead of 10 days. The amount paid is not based on your salary as it is, but on your past income for the past 18 months.

Question
I was tested for COVID-19 and am awaiting my results, and my employer told me not to return to work, am I eligible for UI?

Answer
Yes, you are.

Link to:
https://labor.hawaii.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/COVID-19-UI-FAQs.pdf

However, it takes almost a month to start the online process, pass the screening and get paid. If you have read the unemployment insurance rules carefully in the handbook and still want to receive one week's payment, it would be quicker to find a relative or friend who received unemployment insurance due to the pandemic and ask them to directly tell you how to go about the procedure.

My personal impression is that if the FFCRA law is still in effect in the state of Hawaii, it would be easier to apply for Paid Sick Leave than unemployment insurance, which has many strict rules and conditions.

The money changers in Waikiki are open, but since there are few tourists from Japan, they will not exchange high amounts of money to $ → ¥.
I tried to exchange $ 1000 in April, but was told there were no Japanese yen.

I had to withdraw my Hawaii bank account deposit from the Japanese post office.
There is a limit of 50,000 yen per transaction and a handling fee of 300 yen, but the rate is better than exchanging money at a bank.

Some Japanese money stores will also exchange money, so it may be a good idea to change it after returning to Japan. I myself use this method to exchange Japanese yen → dollars.

My husband always used a bank for overseas remittance, so I will tell him about it.
It makes a big difference if it is a large amount of money !

Every Saturday, we had a few days of classroom training at the Kalihi office, followed by a few hours of on the road training.
After school, my instructor would come to the school to pick me up and
I would go straight to the road class.
I was also taught to drive a car with brakes.
