Cell phone when temporarily returning to Japan

When I returned to Japan 2 years ago, I bought a Japanese sim card that I could use all the time, and I used it in my American iPhone
Then I bought a new American iPhone, but the times have changed and you can't put a sim card in it anymore.
I'm going back to Japan in May, so I'm doing a lot of research and I'm getting confused about E sim cards 😅

In Japan, I put my American iPhone in Airplane mode and use it in the U.S. In Japan, I plan to use my iPhone in Airplane mode and use Wi-Fi. And I wonder if it is possible to use the LINE app on my old iPhone with the account I use in the US. Two years ago, I just switched to a Japanese sim card on my American iPhone and LINE was connected normally.

If anyone knows the best way to use two iPhones in this environment, please let me know.
Please do.

My child has started attending a public middle school in Honolulu. I am honestly concerned about his academic ability as it does not seem that he will have homework every day like he did at Elementary. I am looking for a school that supports schoolwork like a Japanese tutoring school. I would prefer a place where I can go face-to-face if possible, but online is also fine. If you have any recommendations, please let me know.

Good evening
When my daughter was in middle school, she went to a place called Intel behind the Nizya parking lot in University City.
She liked it very much, the teachers were very kind and enthusiastic.
She got A's thanks to her teacher !
The price is reasonable and I recommend it!

Nagaoka Fireworks from where?

Question

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.

Min-sama, thank you for telling me that it can be seen from KCC as I had no idea where it could be seen from.
Dear Koji, I am sure that not too many people are worried about safety, thank you very much.

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.

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.

Problem / Need advice

It's almost spring break and my family and I are planning to travel to Sydney and the Gold Coast.
But I have a phobia of airplanes and even a slight tremor makes me cry … I am looking forward to the trip because I heard that the Oceania area is very bumpy, but I am more scared than that …
I have heard that the Honolulu line is often bumpy, but I have never been that afraid of it.
I would appreciate it if you could give me some advice on how to ease my fear, whether you have a phobia of flying or you fly a lot and don't feel scared at all when the plane shakes. I wonder why there is no one around me who is scared. I wonder if it is safe even if it shakes a lot.
I have a phobia of airplanes, but I still take airplanes.

I have heard that the probability of an airplane crash is lower than that of a car accident, and even if the plane shakes, there are announcements saying that the plane is flying through the air currents and that it will shake, but that it will be okay, so I don't worry about it. I think the key is to relax and let the shaking take control of your body. You feel the same way when you ride in a car on a rickety road, don't you? When an airplane takes off, it is less stressful on your body if you are relaxed.

Thanks for the advice.
relax and don't be rigid ! same as a rickety road !
I know. I read somewhere that the chances of a plane crashing are lower than winning the lottery, almost zero.
There are so many planes flying a day that you can't even count them.
Flight attendants and pilots would not take such a risky job, would they?
Thank you.

Numbness after blood draw

Problem / Need advice

  • 2025/03/04 10:35

I had blood drawn 5 days ago and still have some pain and numbness in my arm, palm and fingers.
My blood vessels are said to move and I often bleed internally after blood draws
This is the first time I have felt numbness.
I am also concerned that it took longer than usual to draw the blood.
If the numbness persists after a week of observation, I will consult a doctor.
If anyone has had a similar experience and has any advice, please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

I had a similar experience when I donated blood two or so years ago, and I still have some numbness in my arm.

The person taking the blood at that time forced the needle in very hard and it hurt a lot. And I think it took longer than usual.
I remember feeling numbness after a few days, but I waited, thinking it would go away. But in the end, it has not healed.
Now there is no way to prove it, so I have no choice, but if I could have, I would have checked with the person in charge and verified the facts.

In Mercury's case, since she has only just woken up, I think it would be a good idea ? to see the doctor as soon as possible or to confirm the facts at the time of blood collection if possible, based on my experience.

Anyway, I think the best scenario is to get back to normal, and I wish you a speedy recovery.

Thank you for your comment.
Is the numbness still there after 2 years ・ ・ ・
If it continues, I will just have to live with the numbness as if it was bad luck.
I am just going to ask for the name of the person in charge.
Thank you for your advice and kind words.

Montessori Community School's Acceptance Examinations

Free talk

  • お受験ママ

  • 2025/02/02 09:36

We moved to Hawaii from the Bay Area last May and have two children, our oldest is now 3.5 years old and our youngest is 1.5 years old.
I was interested in Montessori education before my children were born, and while researching, I heard that
Montessori Community School in the Makiki area is a wonderful school. I saw that over 95% of the students go to Iolani or Punahou each year
through the Feeding School to Iolani or Punahou schools.
I know that it is very difficult to get into Montessori Community School as there are several topics on this site.
I would like to enroll my oldest son from Kinder and my youngest son from Pre, what should I do to prepare for the entrance exam?
We would like to know what kind of education and preparation you have done for your son who is currently attending the school.
We have contacted the school and are afraid that the admission rate is quite high.

My two sons will be living in Hawaii for at least 10 years, so I am hoping that they will be able to attend Iolani School or Punahou School in the future
We are hoping to attend Montessori Community School. I heard that another school, Hana Hau'oli, is also a feeding school, but
I heard that you have to have some kind of connection such as family connection or working to get in, but I have given up because I have no connections in Hawaii.
I would appreciate any information you can give me if you have taken the test for Puri or Kinder.

If you're in middle now, you attended MCS quite a while ago.
I guess it wasn't as difficult then as it is now. It has become much more difficult since Corona. I guess that's because the schools started announcing the schools they were going to after graduation, and they found out that over 90% of the students were going to Punahouiolani.
My oldest daughter graduated from MCS Elementary and is at Punahou. My second daughter graduated from MCS two years ago, but instead of going to Punahou like my oldest, she chose Iolani, which she is currently attending.
The third daughter is now at MCS Pre, but unlike the first and second daughters, there is a much higher admission rate for Pre and Kinder, which is a very difficult school to get into.
It takes a lot of time to pick up and drop off from three different places, but both my oldest and youngest have analyzed themselves well and decided which school they want to go to, and I respect that.
I can't thank the teachers enough for giving her the ability to know herself well and to decide her own path, and for constantly raising her academic ability to a high level without tutors. I know it is difficult to get in, but I think the key is to have a good understanding of the Montessori educational method and to write an application. I wish you the best of luck.

We are waiting for the results too. St. Clements didn't make it and Central Union, which we took as a holdover, was accepted.
Since we only had three schools, Montessori Community School, St. Clements, and Central Union,
we did enroll in Central Union, but
to be honest, 8 of our close friends around us who are the same age as us also took the test, and all of them got into Central Union.
I was so impressed with the 100% pass rate that I wondered if it was worth taking the entrance exam.
I really want her to go to Montessori or St. Clements, I pray for her every day lol
It's only about 2 weeks away and I'm so nervous. I'm sure you all are the same. I hope she gets in....

I buy it at Cosco.
Gold Standard, 5.5 lb. packs are $ 56
sometimes on sale $ about 45.
But only vanilla and chocolate are available.
You can buy the other series from Cosco mail order, but you have to pay for shipping.
but I think it is cheaper than buying elsewhere.

Has anyone renovated their home in Hawaii from a long, shallow Western-style bath to a Japanese-style bath? ?
My husband loves his Japanese bath and has recently been talking about changing it.
I would like to know how much it will cost, how long it will take, and what I should know when I ask the contractor to do the work.

I have seen Sannaka-West or Dream Construction on Vivinavi.
We do not know the price, so we recommend that you contact them. As a point of reference, it is better to get at least two companies to give you quotes.
