I have heard that many internships make you work for an hourly wage and hours
that you decide on at the beginning, without any relation at all.
Also, I've heard that people enter the workplace with the intention of learning a job, but are made to do something completely unrelated, or
are left alone and given responsibility. I hear things like that.
The most common thing I hear is that there are no holidays. The most common thing I hear is that they don't have time off.
Before coming to Hawaii from Japan, you should always ask the people at your workplace if you can work less than 8 hours a day and have 2 days off a week ?

Delicious fresh cream cake

The other day, I wanted a delicious cake for my mother-in-law's birthday, so I got a whole shortcake from La palume D'or. The last time I had a shortcake was so long ago that I don't remember how many years ago, but I remember it was the best Japanese cake in Hawaii. But this time the cream was tasteless and the sponge was nonexistent. But it was my first time to try the shortcake here, so other cakes might be tasty.
I would like to know your favorite cake shops and types of cakes. By the way, I am not a cake person, but I really liked the cream of "Marion" in Shiroki-ya, which is no longer there, because it tasted just like in Japan.

Pest Control at the Time of Eviction

When I move out of my house, my realtor has asked me to do pest control in addition to cleaning my room.

I have never been asked to do pest control when renting a house before, is this a common practice in Hawaii when moving out ?

I contacted a pest control company and was told it is usually done by the owner, They could not give me an estimate.

I would like to know if anyone has ever done pest control when moving out and can recommend a company.

I would also like to know the approximate price.

Thanks in advance.

I'm a homeowner now, but when I was a renter before, I wasn't
told about pest control, and it wasn't in my contract. I don't think it is common in Hawaii, but it depends on the contract. We did at least clean the apartment when we moved out, but that was it.

I have never heard of it.
Again, look over the contract and see if there is pest control. And again, get someone fluent in English to strongly tell you why the renter needs to do this.

Please read the contract.
When pest control is imposed, for example, if there are currently cockroaches or other pests in the apartment that were not there at the beginning of the lease, the tenant may be found to be at fault and be liable for the cost of dealing with the problem.
If it is clearly stated in the contract, you will be liable for the cost of dealing with the problem. Even if it is not, if there is a legitimate reason to be charged, it is considered necessary as well as the cleaning at the time of leaving the room.
You may not know this, but cockroaches and ants can be eliminated by pest control, unless they are very bad. If the whole condo is in bad shape, it may take longer to get rid of them or
they may appear here and there over time, so the frequency may be higher than others. However, it is quite effective, so sometimes it is just an excuse for both the lender and the renter because it is in Hawaii.

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.

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.

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.

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.

that's also from the day they meet you. I am not surprised because it is not in my mind.
I find it interesting that even someone like that is so consistent about beauty, saying
"I don't do anything"
even though she probably does a lot of other things. Many such people are beautiful, so I don't think it would matter if they were doing something.

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.

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.

Hello.
My family is coming from Japan.
I'm bringing my SIM free iPhone and I'm wondering if I should buy a SIM card or rent a WiFi router after I come to Hawaii.
When I came last year, I went to AT&T to buy a SIM card and it cost me $ 55 …
My sister is staying for 1 week and my parents for 2 weeks, and I just need to be able to use LINE and web search. We don't need a phone number, especially not a Hawaii phone number.

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.
