Thank you,
the most recent information on the area is really helpful.
I am also concerned about security in the mainland
due to the Corona disaster and hate crimes against Asians. I know I can never be too careful.
I wonder if I have to take out insurance on my own until I find a job.
If you have any recommendations, I would be happy to hear them.

Unless there are unavoidable circumstances, such as a job transfer, I don't think there is any advantage to moving all the way from the Mainland to Hawaii.

Many people around me
are consulting with Ms. Tomoko Washington, an insurance consultant
who explains the basics of insurance
in detail on KZOO radio and
helps you find the right insurance for your needs.
The consultation is free, so it would be good to consult with her.
She is a very nice person.

Mr. River

There are no hate crimes against Asians in Hawaii.
Rather, whites and blacks are more racially discriminated.
Japanese and people of Japanese descent tend to be treated more favorably in Hawaii.

＃ As 21 said, what is the reason to move from the mainland to Hawaii ？

Hawaii is also the US, and after Corona, the gap between rich and poor is even more polarized.

After Corona, many remote workers, investors, and millionaires who moved from the mainland US bought a lot of properties in Hawaii, which caused

the property prices to skyrocket. If it's not because of house sales, you can't live in Hawaii renting for long.

Popular rental properties raise their prices every year.

The reason why many grandparents are homeless is because their pensions and rentals are equal or more expensive.

People who have paid off their mortgages by the time they receive their pensions tend to stay in Hawaii, but since nursing homes are 4-5 times more expensive than in Japan,

many people return to Japan after their retirement.

Those who do not are assisted by their daughters and sons.
Those who do not are assisted by their daughters or sons, or by the government as lowincome.
River, if you are alone and light, you may want to try living there for a year to experience it for yourself.

You can see why so many people move to the mainland or Japan.

Thank you for the insurance information ！
and your honest opinion is very useful.
It is true that Hawaii has a lot of Asians and it is mentally relaxing.
However, I don't think I will be able to live an easy life,
so I may have to consider other options
if things get really tough financially...
（ Returning to Japan completely is difficult for me right now due to various reasons. ）
I would appreciate any further information you can give me.

Thank you for checking ！
I was able to confirm that you can bring in more than 3.4 oz, but I'm not sure what the maximum is. I'm going to the islands next month, so I'll ask the attendant directly again.

I'm afraid it's not milk, but I always bring more than 1 liter total of water and other liquids.
At that time, I am told that more liquid is not a problem for the baby.

Yes, I have been back to Japan 7 times since my child was born and I have a 500ml plastic bottle and a 650ml water bottle with barley tea, water, etc. ！
I don't know about other companies as it is only JAL, but I think you can usually bring your own for children so please do ask😊.

The submitter is right.

This driver is lucky he only broke the mirror.
If the other driver is malicious, this would be a case that could become a litigation issue and result in hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages.
If you are a green card holder, you will be forced to return home.

You should think about how to deal with them.

Dear Contributor aloha

The driver is your friend ？ boyfriend ？ or ？

I think when you drive, the true nature of a person comes out.

I think you should break up with him. Be glad you are not married.

My husband saw a white car and a pedestrian in trouble last night ？. I hope it wasn't the poster, but he said the car side was at fault from his side. Of course it is bad when a pedestrian disregards a traffic light, but to go out of your way to hit a pedestrian for that is attempted murder. I don't think it's a human thing to do. I wonder if they were not reported ？ I hope they were not.
I'm sorry to hear that, but as others have said, I recommend that you get rid of him as soon as possible. You will make yourself unhappy if you get involved with crazy people. Best wishes to the submitter.

How about SAL mail ？ I was going to recommend it, but
I guess not if you don't accept small packages.
I learned a lot.

Dear Topix
Renters being pushed around by unreasonable landlords is
a thing here in Hawaii.
We also got a 30 day notice from the owner
and we talked to a lawyer and got him to pay for our move.
Good luck and stand up to the unreasonable as much as possible.

A friend of mine recently moved out of the apartment he was renting and went back to Japan due to illness.I told him over I months ago that I would be moving out, but he has not refunded my deposit.
I have tried calling them several times, but they do not answer.
If anyone knows where I can file a complaint
please let me know.

Residency rights in Hawaii real estate leases are lower than property owner's rights, making it easier to sell the property even if it is leased. The law does not allow you to ask the tenant to move out in the middle of the contract period. However, when the contract term expires, the resident is obligated to leave the property as is. Therefore, the right of occupancy can be said to be only for the duration of the lease contract. And it is not possible to extend the lease contract unless the property owner gives permission to do so. For your information

Sue, what does your contract say ？
because if you terminate before the expiration date, you may not get your deposit back
even if you gave a month's notice. I used to rent a place before the expiration date of the contract, I had to pay
the rent until the expiration date.
So I found another tenant and asked him to come in at the same time we left
so that he could take over the contract.

I suggest you look over the rental agreement one more time.
Was the property rented directly from the owner?
Normally, the cleaning is done when you check out of the property, and
you should receive a refund after the cleaning.
In such a case, write a letter to the owner,
disclosing the charges for cleaning and repairs, if any.
and write your contact information and when you would like a reply by.
Send a note to the owner.
If I don't hear from them by when, I write that I will consult the police.
I heard a lawyer say this on the radio once.

I believe the speed is 2G, but you can use it in Japan.
Watching videos and such is slow, but texting is
normal. You can connect with Softbank.
Calls are 25 cents per minute.
My plan is a senior plan, so I don't think I can join T.
Of course, there are plans that are open to the general public, so please check.
Later, please search for T-mobile Japan use, available ？ and so on.
You will see something that says you can use T-mobile in Japan.

I am a T-Mobile user. If you are on a T-Mobile plan, you can call T-Mobile customer service at #611 or go to their homepage and ask for a chat. You can also use chat if you go to their website. Or you can check in person at your local store.

By the way, I used to subscribe to T-Mobile's International plan, but the wifi in Japan was so weak that I had to rent wifi to use it, so I switched to a different plan. When I subscribed to the International plan, I was told that calls within Japan were free as long as the caller was connected to the wifi, but I did not use the plan because I heard that the recipient might be charged for international calls. When I really need to make a call during my stay in Japan, it is usually at train stations or airports, so I use public phones then, but it is difficult to find public phones in other places.

Thank you for your response.
I will ask my husband since he is eligible for the senior plan.
I will ask my husband to ask T-Moble if he can make a call between T-Moble and me in Japan, since I will be separated from him when I arrive in Japan. My English conversation skills are not good enough.
