Aren't there too many puddles ? I'm fed up.

What else is wrong with Hawaii?

I walk most of the time, but the police drive very roughly. I sometimes get scared when they turn right without stopping when crossing the street at a traffic light, even though there are no sirens on. Of course, I don't cross the street when I can see the police because I think they don't pause. ?
In Hawaii, I wonder if it is a rule that police do not have to stop.

Speaking of driving, buses are also very rough. I often get almost run over.
Also, many people have hearing loss.
I want to tell them to buy hearing aids if they buy a car because the music and exhaust noise are so loud and annoying.
The noise from ambulances and other vehicles is also excessive.

Hawaii is so poorly drained that just a few hours of heavy rainfall, let alone a large puddle, left us ankle-deep in water in the middle of Waikiki on 5/18.
Manholes were overflowing with water.

Ambulances are noisy because cars don't move out of the way immediately.

Unlike Japan, medical expenses are extremely high and patients are gods. I don't think any hospital will refuse to accept ambulance patients because they are not cheap like in Japan.

In Japan, some people lose their lives because they are rushed around, but you don't have to worry about that, but be careful because they charge very high fees.

Even for Hawaii residents who have medical insurance, the cost is so high that I heard that a tourist who was not covered by travel insurance and was hospitalized in Hawaii had to sell his house in Japan to pay for medical expenses in Hawaii. I can understand why this unusual medical system makes people think about returning to Japan in their old age.

If you are fed up with Hawaii, you should consider moving to the mainland states.

I moved here from CA, but I lived in LA, CA, and some people said the cost of living was high
but I don't think so ?.

I was puzzled by the way of taxation at first, but now I understand
that it is the way of taxation.

Where do you want to live ? You should start from there ?

Then, if you decide to live in Hawaii, don't complain.

I went to see a friend who lives in Manhattan Beach, LA last week, but prices are cheaper in LA, restaurants, etc. !
Hawaii is an island, so it costs a lot to transport everything, so I think the high prices are unavoidable !.

#6 Hawaii

I agree with what you wrote.
Hawaii, Japan, and the mainland are all great places to live.
If you don't think so, just shut up and move.
I am happy to live in a place with such a great climate, where I can eat Japanese food as much as I like,
and where people are hospitable
I think.

The reality is not only people who live here because they like it
I'm just asking what's bothering you about Hawaii
I don't need your Japanese and short sighted posts like if you don't like it, get out.

And the food is not good in Hawaii.

If you don't like living here, why ? !
did you have no choice but to move to Hawaii because of your husband's job transfer ?

I know someone who had the opposite pattern.
Those who did not want to
move with their husbands' parents or relocate to the mainland U.S. stayed in Hawaii and got divorced.

Life is short
Eat what you want where you want and enjoy life.
The level of Japanese food is not as good as Japan, but the Japanese food in Hawaii is much better than on the mainland.

On business, I went to California a few weeks ago for the first time in about 10 years.
I was surprised that I did not have any of the sneezing, dizziness, or joint pain that had plagued me in Hawaii.
I came back to Hawaii last year after getting sick in Japan, but it just kept getting worse and worse, so I gave up. I guess it just so happened that the weather in California was nice and dry ? I felt better and more comfortable than I have in a long time. Also, I felt that the cost of living in California was a little cheaper than in Hawaii, but since my salary was better than in Hawaii, I thought that I might not have to spend more on living expenses than in Hawaii.
I had heard that Hawaii is good for you because of the negative ions, but in recent years, I feel that the onset of rhinitis, dizziness and migraine headaches are noticeably worse in Bogu.
In my case, I came back to Hawaii hoping to revive my health, but as #6 Hawaii says, I like Hawaii but it is not for me and I am thinking of moving.

>>Living in Hawaii
Hospitality ? They want tips.
As expected, you should at least realize that.

You want to go where it feels good, even if it's for a tip.
It's business, so give&take.
Even in the most expensive steakhouses, there are places where the service is so bad that you
can't and don't want to pay a tip.

I want to go to a place with great service
where I want to tip.

There are many kind people in Hawaii in daily life regardless of tipping.
In Japan, men are more respectful of women, but in Hawaii, it's the opposite.
They carry heavy things, open doors for you, etc.
I have been helped by local women.
Life is a matter of karma and retribution, so what you do will come back to you.
Live a positive life.

Mr. LOVE
I used hospitality to mean in everyday life.
I don't mean in restaurants.

I often receive kindness from people,
so I try to give it to the next person
whenever I get a chance.
If I keep that in mind in my life, there is nothing to worry about.
Living on an island is not bad.

Hospitality in Hawaii is
good, as it is the state of tourism.

I always give back to the community what I receive.

If you are kind to someone, you should be kind to the next person
in return.

To place a tip, it depends on the service whether you want to place it or not.

I used to get the worst service in Chixiken, so I tipped for the first time
When I didn't leave a tip, they came after me and I thought I had forgotten something, but it was because I didn't leave a tip.
I can't recommend them to anyone anymore.

Don't be too concerned about whether or not to leave a tip
, but at least leave a tip since you used the restaurant.
If the service was not up to par,
it would be good for the restaurant if you could say a few words before you leave
.
Well, if there is room for improvement.
If there is no improvement, the store will naturally disappear.

Tipping, if you pay it, is limited to 5%. It is like begging to rely on that.
Who do you think you are, that you are so happy to pay tips?
