Hi ! I run a hula school in Japan.
I would like to know if you or someone you know teaches Kumu at a Halau in Hawaii.
I would like to find a Kumu that is local and quiet rather than a famous Halau.
I would like to learn hula when I visit Hawaii a few times a year.
Thank you very much.

Nice to meet you. This may be off topic directly, but we own a 1bedroom condo in Waikiki and are looking for someone to rent the room for 2-3 months on a regular basis. There is also a hula school across the street from the condo. If you are interested, please contact us. We are currently looking for a renter from March next spring.

I have a question about same-day tickets to enter Hanauma Bay.

I was not able to get an online reservation, so I am planning to enter with a same-day ticket.
Can I get an extra ticket for my friend ?
or do I have to be there with everyone who needs a same-day ticket, or can I get one if I am not there ?
If anyone knows, please let me know.
Thank you very much.

I went yesterday.
You are given a timed ticket to buy the day of the show, but you have to be
there to get it.
If you are coming with your family, you will be told at the gate to drive in together, and the number of people will be checked when the tickets
are handed out.
After the gates open, you park and then get in line.
We took an Uber, got dropped off at the gate, and got out
just as the gates opened. It was the fastest way.

There are many of them along Kapahulu Street at Jefferson Elementary School in Waikiki. Only purple, though.

I almost never use JAL, but
I traveled to Japan with JAL this month and my mileage has reached 11,000 miles.
I was a little short of the $ 100 gift card from Amazon.com, which requires 12,000 miles to redeem, when I
found the following offer.
https://www.jal.co.jp/jalmile/use/partner/alamoanacenter/

Amex gift card issued by Ala Moana Center, 10,000 miles for $ 100.
I think this campaign is mainly targeted at visitors from Japan, but
Hawaii residents may find this redemption a good deal.
Apply by 7/31.

I received a gift card.


The receptionist is located behind the stage at Ala Moana Shopping Center.
When I went in, I just had to show my email and ID like oh, JAL campaign.

JAL's website says it is for use within Ala Moana, but in fact they said it is fine outside of Ala Moana at any place where Amex is accepted, and it can also be used online.

Combined with the exchange ratio and ease of use, I think this is a great exchange.

It is explained at the reception desk that only the applicant will receive the application.
There should be no mailing.
Therefore, I think that the reason for this is to encourage people who live in Japan to come to Hawaii
to receive the card on their trip.
On the other hand, the exchange ratio for Hawaiian residents is better than that of Japanese residents. On the contrary, the conditions are good for Hawaii residents.

My Return to Japan with Unschooled Experience

I returned to Japan last week by JAL to Narita Airport.
The test for the negative certificate was done by Nomi Health. I made an appointment online and went at my preferred time since I could not set a specific time.
I received my test results within 24 hours, logged in and tried to open the PDF file, but it wouldn't open,
I learned that I had to turn off my pop-up blocker, so I turned it off and went back to the Nomi Health download page and pressed the download button. I went back to the Nomi Health download page and pressed the download button, but the download did not work.
Instead, I long-pressed Sign in, chose Copy Link, and pasted it into Google, where it opened the PDF.

The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare asks that
children also obtain a negative test certificate.
However, taking into consideration the fact that many countries do not test preschool children under the age of six as part of their national systems, the quarantine service will ask about the individual circumstances of a preschool child (generally under six) who enters Japan accompanied by a parent or other caretaker who lives with the child, and if the caretaker has a negative test certificate, the child is not subject to the test.
If the child has a negative test certificate, the child does not need to have a test certificate. I checked with JAL and they told me that Hawaii requires a negative test certificate because they test from age 0.
My baby was over 6 months so they did the test.

When I checked in with JAL, I was required to show a negative certificate paper.

The test at Narita Airport was changed to a nasal examination halfway through because the baby's saliva did not seem to collect at all.
We walked a long distance in Narita Airport, so we were glad to have the strollers. I was able to leave the airport about 2 hours after getting off the plane.

Nice to meet you all.

I will be temporarily returning to Japan for a week at the end of this month for the first time in several years.

I currently have a SIM-free iphone, and I was wondering if it is common to buy a temporary SIM card in Japan ?
I would be happy to know how everyone is doing when they return to Japan! !

If you have any recommendations for companies or plans, could you please finish that as well ?.

I haven't been back home for a few years, so this may not be much help. when I returned in 2015, I used a Telecom Square voice SIM, which was cheaper because ANA offered free per day usage. when I checked on the web, I found that a lot has changed in Corona. I checked on the web and it seems to have changed a lot in Corona. Nowadays, there are docomo and Softbank for voice SIM ( that gives you a Japanese mobile number ), but Softbank seems to be a good choice for short term. Prepaid SIMs sold on Amazon and other places are usually data-only, so unless you use LINE or Skype to make calls, it may be a hassle to call people in Japan. If your current carrier in the U.S. is ATT or Verizon, you may be better off with an overseas roaming plan $ 10/day for a short term. For other SIM rentals in Japan, the following URL may be helpful.

How I got hooked on investing in U.S. stocks.

Hi ! I got hooked on investing in US stocks during the pandemic lockdown. I wasn't interested in investing or anything like that, but during the pandemic I thought it was a waste to use my government checks for
shopping, so I used them to invest in US stocks, which I was interested in after watching YouTube during the pandemic.
I would like to exchange information with anyone who is investing in US stocks or interested in doing so. I would like to open a YouTube channel by the end of January next year.
In case you are interested, my current top picks that I actually think are good buys are AFRM ($ 99 below), NIO ($ 29 below), HOOD ($ 18 below), PYPL ($ 185 below). Of course Tesla is nice, but too expensive and unaffordable.
I use Webull for trading, but right now they are running a campaign where if you open a new account and make a deposit of $ 1, you get 5 shares at random. If you want, you can sign up at https://a.webull.com/ga6MAy8TDR1qODkWDp. The referrer also gets a bonus, so it's a win-win. I'm waiting for your comment.

What is the process after a minor collision?

Nice to meet you. I am coming to the Mainland for college this fall. Just before I left Hawaii, I was involved in a minor collision in the Kahala area. The damage to each other's cars was not serious, so we exchanged contact information and that was the end of it. After I arrived at the university, I discovered that the air conditioner did not work when my family drove the car. When I asked them to inspect the car, they made an estimate that the inside of the car was somewhat damaged due to the impact of the collision and needed to be repaired. The damage on the outside was not so bad, but the inside was more damaged than we thought. 

I am responsible for contacting the insurance company, but I have lost their contact information, etc. I lost the data on my phone a few weeks ago and the other person's data is not showing up. I didn't have a backup, so I am really confused. 

In this kind of case, even if I contact the insurance company, will the insurance be denied? ? I am really worried because I am communicating from a remote place. 
I would appreciate any advice you can give me. 
This is my first time and I am not worried. Please help me.

First of all, if you have an accident, no matter how big or small, you have to call the police and ask for a scene investigation and an accident report that will be used by the insurance company to determine the percentage of fault for the accident ?.
