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.

Has anyone recently returned to Japan from Hawaii where the parents were not vaccinated and the child was under 6 years old and entered Japan without PCR testing ?

I was told at the hospital in Hawaii that it is safe for children under 6, but I am a little concerned ….

Hello. If the parents have been vaccinated, the child traveling with them is exempt, but if the parents have not been vaccinated, a PCR test is required 72 hours before the flight, as is the case with the parents from the age of 0.
My friend did not know this and brought a negative test report last week, but her 1 year old son was denied boarding because he did not have a negative test report.

When I sent it last year before Christmas, it took about 3 weeks.
When I send a package that can be tracked, I like to deliver it once through the mainland US. The package arrives faster than a letter by about 10 days.

My sense is that with letter or card it usually takes 10 ~ 14 days, but if you are unlucky 3 ~ 4 weeks, and rarely 1 week. If you use Registered Mail just to be sure, it usually takes 2 ~ 3 weeks. In the worst case, the mail came back 5 weeks later with a stamp saying "Unable to deliver to destination", even though the address was correct. ( This must be a problem with Japan Post. ) EMS packages usually take about a week to arrive, but they are expensive, so I use Yamato or FEDEX. About the same in terms of time.

Even now that there are direct flights, the mail seems to go through LA.
Even if you send by Priority, the tracking shows it is via LA.

I once sent two letters to the same address on the same day,
the two arrival dates were a week apart.

They should be arriving soon ?.

I'm a little surprised to see someone going through the mainland.
When I send something that can be tracked, as I mentioned above,
it always goes straight to Narita, so I let the recipient know
"I'm there today, so it will arrive tomorrow", or
I give them the number from the beginning and they
tell me it will arrive today. I have given them my number from the beginning and they have informed me that it is scheduled to arrive today.
I know that when it's by sea it goes through the mainland, but
when it's by regular mail, whether it can be tracked or not
it's the same in terms of days.

There have been some very enthusiastic posts recently about preschools, and I have some questions, etc.
I was also considering Central Union, but I was surprised to see how high the admission rate is. How is it decided whether a child is accepted or not? ? I don't think a 2 year old can take a test, so I wonder if it is determined by the parents' jobs, etc. ?
I would appreciate it if anyone can help me out.

Hello. I took the 3 year old test at Central Union this past January. I wanted to put my daughter in a pre-school (3 year old class , I was 2 years old and my daughter was born in June and she was much younger than the children born in August/September.
15 minutes only children entered the classroom with about 4 children and parents waited in the church. I asked my daughter and she said they played with toys. We received the results by letter two weeks later. My daughter was lucky to be accepted, but I heard that the ratio was much higher than last year. This year, however, it is difficult because of the high ratio of applicants.

However, I would not send them to Central Union. After all, Central Union only has pre, and Punahou and Iolani don't have very high acceptance rates these days, and everyone seems to be going to Midpac, St. Andrews, and Montessori. Many children are going to Public, and Central Union does not seem to be a feeding school to Punahou and Iolani as it used to be.
Same as Waiokeola these days.

If you want to put your child in public kinder, Central Union is a great place to grow and have a child free atmosphere.
However, if you are thinking about taking the Kinder exam, it would be difficult to do so at Central Union.

Thank you for the details ! 2 ・ Even 3 year olds are tested or checked. I was surprised to find out that there is a preschool for 3 year olds. ‼️ I just did a search for preschools and found out that there is a school for 3 year olds to get accepted to preschools, which is unbelievable. I am not thinking of taking the entrance exam. I have lived in Hawaii for a long time, but I am completely ignorant about parenting and education, and I only recently found out that Central Union is a pre-school. I thought it was just a regular church. A friend of mine told me that Kaimuki's preschool is also good, so I am considering that as well.

Dear SJDummy
Thanks to you, I was able to dine in a private room with 8 friends the other day. We happened to be in Ala Moana and went for an early lunch to make a reservation.
Since there were 8 of us and we were going to use a private room at a busy time, I asked for an appetizer and sushi platter for 8 people in advance to make it as easy as possible for the restaurant to accommodate us. The waitress who took our reservation told us that the special menu would take a long time, so we were grateful for the help. Half of the four of us were ready at the time of our reservation on the day of the event, but another car got stuck in traffic and the remaining four arrived less than 15 minutes late. About 5 minutes after our reservation time, a Japanese man who looked like a chef came and asked, "May I serve you a dish since it is your time

This is off topic, but I have found that even in Japanese companies and restaurants, if you expect the same service as in Japan, you may be disappointed or surprised.
But I love Tonkatsu Tamato because the food is of Japanese quality and the service is courteous and friendly.

When I had a meal at the counter of Katsumitori Sushi before, the chef in front of me was opening and closing the door with a bang ! bang ! about 4 times a minute, so loud that it made me feel restless and uncomfortable and it was ringing in my ears. I was looking forward to sushi, but I lost interest in it. I thought he was a crass chef. I would have liked to feel a little more hospitality.

You can apply through this website.
You can change your number even during the loan process.
You can enter any number you like (up to 6 alphabetical or numeric digits) and it will tell you if the number is available or not. If the number you like is available, you can apply for it by credit card by paying a fee of about $30 on the web.
You will receive an email when your plate is ready (about 2 , 3 months from now), so you can either print the email and bring it to the satellite in Ala Moana with the resist, or send the print, resist and a check for the amount you need (about $5) to the DMV and they will mail it to you at a later date. They will send it to you by mail at a later date.

Dear Bogey users

Thank you for your reply.
Actually, someone emailed me directly after this post and I was able to apply for the plate.
The price has now increased to $ 60.
Thank you all for your kindness.
Again, one more thing if you don't mind.
I know that I will bring the resist paper when I get the call, but can I have the resist sticker with the old license plate number changed to the resist sticker with the new license plate number ?

and can I keep the old license plate number by myself? ?
I want to keep the license plate I bought when I sell my car.
Also, there is an annual fee $ of 60, right? If I don't keep paying it, the license plate I bought will not be mine forever, right?
How can the license plates that are often sold in souvenir shops be made like that ?

If you know anything about this, please post it.

You will also receive a new resist when the new plates are mailed. The sticker is enclosed as well, so don't worry.
You will have to replace the plate yourself when you receive it, so please apply the sticker at that time.
You can keep the old plate if you are not requested to return it. I gave mine as a souvenir to a friend who came to visit from Japan.

When you buy a new car, you can ask the dealer to keep your license plate number.
You can also do it yourself.
If you bring the registry and plates to the satellite in Ala Moana and tell them you want to keep them, they will keep them for up to 60 days and give you a plate with a different number, the registry for that number, and a certificate of custody for your plates.
When the new car is registered, you can take the new car's resist and plate and your plate deposit slip to the satellite and get your plate and resist on the spot.

If you're looking for the original teabag's, Walmart has them.
I bought them about 2 months ago.
I think they were $ 19.99 for a pack of 20.
I have never seen the round tube ones.

They used to be sold at catch usa, but
I think they moved somewhere from Ohana Place in Ward.
