A, most things you might take on a trip, such as a PC, are now DUAL VOLTAGE. （ I think it says something like 100v-240v. ）
Electric toothbrushes such as Sonicare can be bought in either country.
So there is no problem with the voltage whether you buy it in Japan or in the US.
However, sometimes the shape of the plugs of American products are different
so you may need a conversion plug for that ？ or so.

Halo-san A

Thank you very much for your reply.

I was thinking that it would be better to buy something in Yen that can be bought in Japan because of the weak Yen and strong US dollar, but

if a PC bought in Japan is not guaranteed in the US, it is still better to buy in the US.

Very helpful.

I am of the school of thought that I buy things from Japanese manufacturers in Japan. Many major electronics stores in Japan will answer your questions in detail, so you don't have to worry when you buy, and when problems arise, you can solve them by doing a Google search in Japanese.

I understand that many countries are involved to make one product, but I still buy products from Japanese manufacturers in Japan to support Japan because it used to be the main production in Japan.

More than 15 years ago, when I purchased a Dell laptop computer in Japan, I told them I planned to use it overseas and was introduced to their overseas warranty support, so I followed their advice and enrolled in their overseas warranty plan.
In fact, when my laptop went bad while I was living in the US, I contacted support and a representative came to my home and gave me free support since it was under warranty.

I am currently using a Let's Note that I purchased in Japan. I asked at the time of purchase, but Panasonic did not offer overseas warranty support.

I am not sure about the current situation with Dell since I haven't used them for a long time now, but I just searched and it seems that Dell and HP still offer overseas warranty support.
I think it would be a good idea to make a comprehensive comparison in Japan, including the possibility of purchasing one from a manufacturer that offers overseas warranty support.

Thanks for the valuable information.

I see that the signal strength is affected by the weather.

approximately where you live, or if you live near the antenna, as much as you can.

It is on a hillside near Kahala. Depending on where the antennas are ？, the connection will be different, but T-mobile has a lot of antennas cuz it's relatively easy to get a connection. If you go to a store, they can check the connection in that area from your address.

Mai,

sorry for the late reply here.

Thanks again for the detailed information.
I am in McCully ・ Moiliili area.
I looked at T-mobile's 5G map before and the signal strength looked good.

I am currently using Hawaiin Telcom internet,
I called customer service when I renewed and managed to get a discount, $ 50/mo.
However, I think the speed will be in the slow category, so I'm thinking that T-mobile is a better deal if I pay the same price,
and I don't have to pay the higher cost after the subscription benefit discount, so I might as well switch.
I'm thinking that I might.

Actually, there may be some people like that, but not all.

Many of them would have much more dreams than clinging to the old Japanese society. It is not only Hawaii. People who emigrate overseas are probably uncomfortable with the vertical society in Japan.

How many Japanese who came to Hawaii
because they didn't like the vertical society in Japan were cut off by the company they worked for here in Corona, and
how many of them left for Japan or the US mainland?
That is a fact.

If there is such a person, I wonder how many people

I have lived in Hawaii for several years and I will say this.
Hawaii is not a paradise where everyone can live the way they want to.
I think it is a training ground for people who have lived their lives blaming only their surroundings and environment for their life not going well. You never know when the American dream will come.
It could be next week, it could be in a few years, it could be in a few decades. If you believe in your path and live your life, Hawaii will be your paradise.

The high cost of living in Hawaii, which has risen at an unusual rate.

Many elderly people are homeless in Hawaii because their pension and rent are the same amount or rent is more expensive.

If you have paid off your mortgage by the time you are old enough to get a pension, you will not be homeless.

If you want to live in Hawaii for the rest of your life, you should buy a house early and pay it off early.

Hawaii has a huge disparity for people in their 60s and older.

There are those who are traveling gracefully on rental income and those who are always strapped from paying rent for the rest of their lives.

Realize quickly which you will be in the future and act accordingly.

Since you said you have an iphone, we assume you will be using it and only pay the monthly fee. However, if you leave it unused, it will automatically continue every month. $ 7 is only for 1G of data and 100 minutes of talk time, and does not include the SIM itself. You will get a Hawaii 808 phone number. If you don't make calls, it's $ 6/m for 1G (No minutes) and $ 10/m for 2G.

By bone grafting, you mean bone grafting ？

I also had an implant treatment here a few years ago.
I thought I was only going to have an implant, but I was told that the bone of the foundation was thinning and that an implant could not be placed as it was.
There was no significant swelling or pain after the surgery. Of course, I was prescribed painkillers, but I only took one dose and did not take any after that because I had no pain. Anyway, I thoroughly followed the postoperative instructions, such as taking care of the affected area and not biting with strong force. I was rather more scared during the surgery than after. Both the osteogenesis and implant surgery were done under local anesthesia, so I could hear the sound of bone powder being placed during the osteogenesis surgery and the sound of the machine cutting the bone during the implant surgery.
If you request the optional intravenous anesthesia, it will be done while you are asleep, so you will not be scared by the sound.
When I told the surgeon that I was afraid of the noise during the surgery, he suggested that I could have the surgery while listening to music with headphones, but unfortunately, I did not have noise-canceling or other high-performance headphones. Unfortunately, I did not have noise-canceling or other high-performance headphones, so both surgeries were performed under local anesthesia and without headphones.

I hope your surgery goes well.
I have completed both my osteogenesis and implants and am living comfortably.

Dear Implant

Thank you for the details. I am a little relieved to hear that there was no major pain or swelling. Of course it depends on the individual condition, but I was afraid because there were many stories on the internet that it was very difficult. I am going to have a tooth extraction and then in 3 months I will have an osteogenesis surgery. I am nervous, but I will try to keep my mind calm. The sound thing was also very helpful. It is the back tooth of the upper jaw, so it is closest to my ear.
I will ask my doctor about the method to finish the surgery while I am sleeping with intravenous anesthesia next time I have a tooth extraction ！

Thank you so much for your help.

I took the test last week.

In my case, the person in charge told me that I would get the results in 24 to 72 hours, but
I received the results about 21 hours after the sample was taken.

It seems that the test time changes depending on the situation.

As you may know, the location was changed to the entrance of the restroom on the Michael Course side.

Thank you for your valuable information ！
I went for the test today. I checked with the person in charge and I don't know if this is a routine response, but he told me that I would get the results in 24-48 hours. Since tomorrow is Easter Sunday, I asked if the time required would vary greatly depending on whether the lab was operating or not, and they replied that it was.
Just knowing that last week's results came out in about 21 hours makes me feel a little more comfortable waiting.

#6 Dear friend from Nomi Health
We were tested at Ala Moana at 11:45AM on 12/14(水) and received the notification of the test results at 11:54AM on 12/18(日).

By the way, when we took the test at Ala Moana, there was no one else taking the test but us and it was a rattle.

We had an early morning flight on the 17th (Sat.), so we called Nomi Health on the 16th (Fri.). They replied that there are cases of sometimes just before 72 hours, but in the end I could not make it within 72 hours.

I think it must have been really difficult

If anyone has recently had a PCR done at Nomi in Ala Moana, could you please let me know how long it takes to get the results?

I was going to check the hours on the website and I know they are closed on Sundays, but is the Ala Moana testing center now closed on Saturdays as well ？
I was unable to select Saturday and Sunday on the calendar when making an appointment. I was getting worried because I thought that going for an exam on a Saturday would be ideal.
I checked other inspection sites and it seems that Waikele does it on Saturdays and Sundays, so I am wondering if I have no choice but to go to Waikele...but I would like to take it in Honolulu if possible.

Please let me know if you know of any other free PCR testing sites in Honolulu for people returning to Japan.
Thank you very much.

For your information, since it seems to be difficult to get a response. After I posted this topic, until recently, I have received DMs from several people asking "I also took the test at Flea Health, but the test result is not available in time for my flight.

This guy is so crazy

Have a life without regrets

Especially in your old age, it costs much more than when you were young

Keep in mind

When you can no longer work and you become elderly

the pension you can rely on will come from the government if you worked hard when you were young



do you understand ？ <

When you get old and need care

No one will look after you for free

When you die, will someone take care of you ？

Will someone give you a funeral ？

Will someone write your death certificate ？

You are still young, so you don't need to think about it ？

That is a big mistake

When you are young I played too much and saved nothing

I'm in debt...

Before the Corona pandemic, I had given up on the idea that it was natural to put up with things that I didn't like and was not good at, and had worked hard for the company under a state of maximum stress. However, the company I had devoted so much of my time and effort to was completely cut off after the Corona pandemic, and while I was on standby at home during the pandemic, I had time to reflect on myself, and my thinking changed.

I realized how much money I had spent just to look good and be pretentious. I realized how much money I had spent just to look good and be pretentious. I had the courage to say no to relationships I didn't enjoy, and I felt refreshed. I got a job that suits me without worrying about how I look, and although my income is less than when I was an office worker, my heart is fuller. Although there is a system in which people can get help if they don't have a penny, the subsidies are taxpayer-funded, and the system is built on the basis of people who have money. I think everyone has money, some don't, some don't want to spend it, but I need money because I like to eat what I want, buy what I want, and travel, so I don't think living without money is freedom.
