Nagaoka Fireworks from where?

I am planning to go see the Nagaoka Fireworks this weekend.
I know it's best to watch from Waikiki, but I'm worried about traffic restrictions, parking, etc. since I'm coming from Eva.
Is there a place where we can park our car and enjoy the fireworks even if it is a little far away ?
I can't go early because of my child, so if I want to see them in Waikiki, should I park somewhere far away ( downtown or ? ) and take a bus? ? I guess.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

I live in Waikiki
I think you should definitely see it on Waikiki Beach ! I think it should be in the center of the beach around the Hyatt.
It's worth it. !
It's very powerful because you go up from the ocean in 3 boats.
Why don't you shop at Target or get a validation ? check it out yourself.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

Dear Coral Reef, Beach, Funfun, and Funfun, I am sorry to thank you all at once. I guess it's special to see the fireworks from Waikiki.
I was under the impression that the fireworks would be shot off around the same area as the Hilton fireworks.
I was worried about finding a parking space since we will arrive around 8:00 p.m., but if there is no space at Ala Moana, I will try to park a little farther away and watch the fireworks in Waikiki. Thank you very much.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

They don't disclose the name of the person in charge, and the address of the office is also hidden and unknown.

We would like to hear from real people who have lived in the area and what was their level of English proficiency when they immigrated.
It depends on your job, but could you give us a rough idea of the type of work you do and your current level of English at the time of immigration?We would also appreciate it if you could also give us some reference of how you learned the language there.

I have 40 years total in the U.S. About 25 years in CA. Hawaii is about 15 years.
I originally came to the US as an international student. At that time, I could not speak English at all, but
I attended a vocational school in Japan to prepare for studying abroad.
I came to the U.S. with a good command of English, but I could not speak it. Then,
one day, six months later, all of a sudden, I could speak and hear better than ever.
That day, I went to New York City to play, and experienced 3 days of free time, and I had to
do things on my own, and if I couldn't speak, I would get lost in New York City, and
not be able to return to my hotel.
After that, I learned to speak English, and it has been 40 years since then, and I am not involved in any Japanese
community except here.
I don't study English, I just get used to it.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

I wonder if KAI is a woman.
If your partner cannot speak Japanese, you will have to communicate in English, so your English ability will improve.
Many women are fluent in English because there are many international marriages in Hawaii, but there are couples who don't get along with their husbands or don't speak at all
Even if they have been in Hawaii for several decades, some of them remain at a daily English conversation level. Even if they are a masked couple, they will improve if they use English at work.
I think it depends on their own efforts.
While you are in Japan, I think it would be good to get used to hearing English while having fun with western movies and music.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

I know that everyone who has responded here is very talented, but there are others like me who are not, so I just wanted to say a few words.
I was at the junior high school level when I moved to Hawaii and went to an adult school in Hawaii, but I was not immediately fluent in English. My elementary school child also entered the ESL class in the school with only simple vocabulary. The teacher at the time told us not to be in a hurry and not to push too hard even if we didn't speak English for about 9 months. The first 9 months were to be a time to let their ears ring, and after exactly 9 months, they started speaking English.
In no time at all, the kids were overtaking me.
I don't think there is any absolute minimum level of English required to move here.You will get used to it with time.

Don't worry. The word "accustomed" gives me a lot of strength in the first 9 months.

I'm not going to use a baby carrier since he/she is 3 years old, but of course he/she is still too small to use a seatbelt for an adult by himself/herself. I read that if you share the seatbelt at the chest, if there is an accident, the child will cough in front of you and get caught between you and your cushion. Would you make sure to only share the belt at the waist ? I understand that it is not at all safe for me to just hold the child with my normal seatbelt on. Also, I would like to know how to turn my face.

I have an insurance policy with state farm,
I would like to change from my current rep to another rep,
Has anyone changed ?
smoothly without any conflict ?
on the internet? I found a new person ( and told them I wanted to change directly to ) not the new personbut the current person in charge
"Of course it is possible, but it would be like competing for customers, which is not very desirable." I was told.
The reason I want to change my contact person is because he/she seems more polite than my current contact person.
I don't want to get into trouble with my current contact person because she has been very helpful to me, but
I wonder if I will get into trouble if I change my contact person ?.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

It's okay.
Since you are paying for the service yourself
you should ask someone you are comfortable with.
You don't even have to worry about getting into trouble with a fan.

My husband is in the insurance business. My husband once told me that in small Hawaii, there is an unspoken rule that we don't take each other's clients so that we can all stay in business, but that is because we are not allowed to solicit other agents' clients, and it is not acceptable for clients to go back for more satisfaction ). I think it is justified
. However, if the new client is reluctant to change, it is probably because they don't want to do so. If the new client is still reluctant to change, it may be better not to force the change.
