We are looking to make a down payment and buy a condo with the money we have saved over the years as a couple.
Our choice is a 2BR in Arua Waikiki.
So, if you live in Arua or are familiar with Arua, could you please tell me ?

Which would you recommend in Unit 01, 02, 03 and 04 ?

Also, other than those, 05, 06, etc.
Which unit is the best for you ?

Thank you very much.

We used to live in Arua.
When we bought, there were not many units for sale and we didn't have much to choose from, but it was unit 01.
We had to take a long detour to get from the living room to the master bedroom, and since our children were small, it was very cramped and hard to keep an eye on them.
The rooms are like a maze.
My friend lives in #09, the lot size is small, but it felt spacious.
Since no two floor plans are the same on one floor,
If you can tell us about the view, the layout, and what you want to focus on, we can give you more advice.

Dear Landlord. Thank you for your advice. We also thought that 01 would be good. Or 04.
We are not sure about 09 because it seems to be too hot in the west. The view is not important. The layout is bedrooms on both sides of the living room. Where we want to put emphasis is on rooms that don't get too much sooty dust from the cars in Kalakaua, and we would like rooms that don't get the west sun.
02 and 03 have one living room opening, but I wonder if the rooms are dark ?
01 has two windows, bright and seems ideal.
I would like to see the apartment, but there are not many for sale at the moment, and I would be
grateful for your advice.

I am planning to start fertility treatment and am considering medical insurance. I had fertility treatment before Corona, but was unable to have children, so I would like to have IVF this time.
If you can recommend a plan for HMSA if we plan to do fertility treatment including IVF, please let us know.

I have an HMSA PPO and it was covered by my insurance.
The description on the HMSA website also says that it is covered by HMO and PPO, so I think it is a misunderstanding that it is not covered by PPO.

Have you already decided where you would like to be treated and have you chosen a potential clinic ??
You may want to ask for a consultation with the clinic first to get insurance and detailed plan recommendations.

Can someone please tell me if the vaccine certificate from Japan can be used to check the vaccine card when entering a restaurant here?
Thank you in advance.

Last month, an acquaintance came from Japan.
I went to many restaurants with my Japanese vaccine certificate.
We went to Chinatown, Waikiki, Kaimuki area, Pearlidge, Kahala,
and many other places.
They wanted to know the date of the second vaccination and the manufacturer of the vaccine, and although there was some English notation, the paper size was different from Hawaii's.
Some of them were confused for a moment. But when I explained it to them, they were OK everywhere.
Not only restaurants, but also leisure facilities and tourist facilities required the presentation of a vaccine passport, but we were able to enter with a Japanese A4 size certificate.

there seems to be a case where an offer for the third rent subsidy was sent to an individual by e-mail .

Has anyone received an offer for the third time by e-mail ? in this case?

I was told to contact CCH if I need help with rent for December, but they said they can't do it because they don't have the funds. I am working shortened hours and am in a difficult situation. I applied for EBB for utility assistance and was able to get help, but the phone company did not respond properly and it expired. I had a payment plan set up and have been paying it little by little, but they are adding late charges every month.

I am in trouble because the mutant shares of Corona are going to make it even more difficult for me financially. Can you please let me know if there is any state or Federal assistance available?

I guess I've been lucky so far. It must have been a miracle that there were so many jobs in Hawaii if you could speak some English. Living abroad means that this kind of hardship is necessary and normal. I guess the question is how to live in this situation. I guess it is time to think about the next development rather than waiting forever for tourism to resume.

The coronas will not end because of a conspiracy by American drug companies 。

All new coronas are viruses made from humans to make money.

So just when we are about to be cured, there will be another new virus 。

and each time a vaccine has already been made in advance 。

today President Biden said don't panic, American citizens are fine. 。

It will last until 2024.

Corona will not end because of a conspiracy by American drug companies 。

If this is true, it is the same thing as the 911 attacks that were made to look like a conspiracy by American life insurance companies

.

Are we Japanese safe to live in the US?

Don't tell me that Corona was also caused by Rothschild?

I have a question about the fiancée visa.
I was planning to go to Hawaii in February 2022 to see him, but the way it looks now, it is going to be difficult,
I am having trouble providing "proof that we met within 2 years".
We have both decided to get married, and the timing will depend on how the visa progresses, but
is there anything we can do?
Thank you in advance.

Thank you for your reply !
Yes, I will have to put everything I can produce as evidence !
I definitely plan to get that part right, as I would not dare lie to the government, lol.
I didn't think of the brochure ! Thanks for the idea.
It took you a year. ?
Also, sorry to change the subject, but I was surprised to find out that it costs 30,000 yen to make an appointment at a local hospital that handles negative certificates for Corona travel to the US.
I am planning to go to Haneda → Honolulu, will they do a PCR test when I connect ?
I am sorry, I don't know anything and I am confused.
If you know, I would like to know.
Thank you very much.

So it is possible to meet while applying, is it a gray area?

The best way to find out if you can travel back and forth between the US and Japan while applying for a fiancée visa is to ask the lawyer who filed the application.
It seems that you can travel back and forth now, but not when I applied. So I guess there are a lot of cases on blogs and forums. The law is changing all the time, so ask your lawyer.
Also, you mentioned pictures, but my friend had a digital camera set up so that the date and time would be included in the picture, since the phone wouldn't include the date and time.

After graduating from the same Japanese national university as my brother, he went to work for one of Japan's largest automakers and I jumped into the high-tech industry in California. Even though my brother has passed retirement age, he is still working for his retirement and does not seem to have time to take care of my mother. A rich life varies from person to person, but I believe that supporting your parents in their retirement, even if only financially, is an important part of a rich life. From California, I feel that it is important to look back to the days in Japan when people worked hard during their working years and left home to work as migrant workers in order to support their parents in their old age.

I would like to ask those who live in Hawaii.
We are planning to move from Japan to Hawaii next year, and we would like to know if you have brought any appliances from Japan ?
We are thinking of bringing a hair dryer, rice cooker, Dyson vacuum cleaner, etc. from Japan
Do we still need a transformer, etc.? ? I think that many of the recent home appliances are written to be compatible up to 110v ~ 120v, but I would like to know if anyone is actually using them.

Most electrical appliances ( such as TVs, radios, audio equipment, PCs, etc. ) will work as they are. However, items with high power consumption ( such as hair dryers, futon dryers, etc. ) are dangerous because the heat value of the heater increases by 40% and they become too hot. Those with an overheat detection safety function will turn off immediately. I use a transformer for microwave ovens and futon dryers. Items that use lithium batteries ( Dyson vacuum cleaners, etc. ) When the batteries reach the end of their useful life, lithium batteries cannot be imported from Japan, so you should check if Dyson batteries sold in the US can be used without modification. ( Of course, if you intend to throw them away when they reach the end of their useful life, that is fine. ) The charger works fine. Most houses here have old-fashioned electric heaters ( with nichrome wires ) so it is difficult to control the heat. I bought a new induction range. Portable induction heater ( 1kw ) is working without transformer.
