I don't know Mayuna's age, but there are only a few jobs available for immigrants who don't speak English well.　Buying a house?
If you are in your 40's or older and you can't maintain your current situation, I would be worried about your old age.　 If you are in your 40's or older now and maintain the status quo, I would worry about your old age. If you find an American partner who has a solid idea and you can support each other, you will be able to live a little more comfortably in real life.
To begin with, green card holders are those who have a spouse and are living in Hawaii, or are working hard as a single person after having separated from their spouse. If you are in your 20s or 30s, you may still be able to start over in Japan, but after that, I think it will be tough in Hawaii if you think you will be physically challenged by an increasingly difficult life. Prices are high in Hawaii, and you should do your best to make some kind of deposit by eating on your hands or something.

It could be single life ？ or married life ？
it depends.
Married people work together, so they may have more money than singles.
Single to retirement: .... If you don't make a lot of money and don't have a deposit, it's going to be tough.
I would recommend finding a partner who is gentle and lives well.　Good luck.

My husband is military and I personally came to Hawaii penniless
I don't speak much English, I can't work, I'm not confident driving a car …
It's honestly hard with just my husband's salary 😂
I'm really extremely poor but I'm living as a hermit 😂

どなたかから返答いただけましたか？
彼はまだ日本におりというのは3歳の息子さんの事ですか？質問主さんは今ハワイにいるのでしょうか？今から探して7月から通えるプリスクールは見つからない思います。もしかしたら特殊な所があれば受け入れてもらえるかもしれませんが。普通は学校が始まる1年前位にはもう定員が埋まっている所がほとんどだと思います。
予防接種に関しては息子さんがお世話になる小児科を決めて、そこのドクターにアドバイスを貰う事になるのでは無いでしょうか？

I don't know if this will be helpful as it is a bit old, but
Here is the information about the immunization shots when my son came to Hawaii in 2018 at the age of 4.

MR, mumps, and chickenpox are live vaccines in Japan, so we had to re-give inactive vaccines.

Hib is covered by one MMRV （ combined measles, mumps, rubella, and chickenpox ） in Hawaii.

As a result, the inoculations I had in Japan were much wasted.
Even if I had received all the routine inoculations, I would have had to get 4 additional inoculations: 1 quadruple combination DPT-IPV, 1 MMRV, 1 measles, and 1 Hib.

In my case, I myself had come to HA first and consulted with the pediatrician, but was told that I could not proceed until he arrived
My husband and son arrived,
I requested the shots along with the physical examination to be submitted to the preschool,
and checked them against my mother-child book. I checked it against my mother's health handbook and got the necessary inoculations3.

Central Union can get you in if you donate money. There are many Japanese children who are expatriates and come in halfway through the year. The local resident group has an exam every year in January, but there are no children who come in from the middle of the year because they are expatriates or something. Recently in the last three or four years, the popularity of the school has decreased and if they take the exam, they all pass, so that may have something to do with it.

I also wondered
if I would be lonely and less happy ？ after my children left the nest, but ，
I made new acquaintances and friends through hobbies, and
my days are busier and more fulfilling than ever before.
I felt refreshed after taking early retirement from my job.
I am thankful for my health every day.

I agree with #3, #4, and #5, the Net is a fast way to get connected, but it's also a fast way to get disconnected. It's like after watching a big firework show
you hit it off and it was a mistake ｡
my friend's daughter is getting married to a guy she met on the Net from another state, so she sends her luggage and even her wedding dress. We had a fight over a trivial matter and the luggage was sent back to THE END. When I saw the returned white wedding dress hanging on the door, I was so shocked. My hand went to my forehead and I had to think about it. I felt pain, but I was glad that I didn't have to drag the wound with me. It was a great Speed feeling. So this is Net
I can't do it. I am enjoying the happiness of living in Hawai'i by growing plants in my garden and expanding my roots through water💦growing in the course of a day within my range.

I'm sorry to hear about your friend's daughter.
Perhaps she did not have a green card
I doubt it ？
Very few men want to sponsor her, so it is easier for a green card holder or
US Citizen woman to get married or remarried.

Even if you get married through friends, pickups, or in-house marriages, you will get divorced, so
I don't think it matters how you meet people.

For couples who have been married once unsuccessfully
it is better to live together and then remarry
without risk to both parties.

My friend's daughter is a US Citizen with an American father and is fluent in Japanese. My friend's partner is a Japanese IT professional who has lived in the US since he was a child. Later ， she met a local man
because of her dog and they are dating (he was a sales clerk during his break time who was worried about her dog in the car while she was shopping with her dog in the car with the window rolled down a little).

Alamoana or Down town Longs Drugs can change your battery ， You can drop off your watch and pick it up on the designated day.
It's not like in Japan where you have to wait in the store while they change the battery

I am the one who consulted here last December.
The watch shop on Pensacola St. that has served us for many years, the owner retired and closed the store, but a new owner renovated the old store and opened a watch repair shop with the same name, Crown Time House. I went there as soon as I could and the new owner was very nice and friendly. There is also a parking lot.

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.

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.

If you are a beginner in English and suddenly find yourself in a local school and
without your parents, I would not recommend
unless you want to go there.
I have seen several cases of children around that age who followed their parents
to a local school and became depressed because they could not adjust to the local school.

I think it would be reckless for both of your children to attend school without knowing English at such an impressionable time.
＃ 5Ray is right, it would be mentally difficult. I have seen people around me whose children came here with zero English because their parents were expatriates, but I have only seen children from preschool to 1st grade elementary school.
For older children, their husbands are here on their own.
Schoolwork and education is different from Japan, so the way of teaching math and other subjects is different.
I think it is difficult to follow the class if you can't say what you want to say and don't understand what your classmates and teachers are saying.
I think it would be better for you to understand English to some extent so that you can keep up with the classes before you move or change schools. As an advice.
Since your 11- and 13-year-old children are in junior high and high school here, it would be difficult for them to learn English since they have only learned to communicate in standardized sentences at the level they learned at school in Japan.
Hawaii's public is the lowest in the country. If you don't understand English, you will fail with an F grade. Unlike Japan, in the U.S., even public junior high and high school students will fail
.
It would be more realistic to go to junior high and high school in Japan, graduate from a public school, come to Japan, attend a language school, and then enter a university or vocational school.
Homestay is for international students only, and you will be matched with a homestay family after you have decided on a school and the length of your stay in Japan and have been accepted by the school.
It is not possible if you are undecided about the school and the duration of your stay.
You should consider it again before you move. Again, you should consider this before you move.

As for the language, I think it depends on your child's interest and motivation. Before coming here, I think it is necessary for everyone to watch English programs in Japan or take private lessons (online or otherwise) to learn the language used in daily life. I myself studied abroad when I was 16 of my own volition. Before I came here, I studied using dictionaries with pictures for children and Sesame Street. Nowadays, there are converters on smartphones, so it's very convenient.
Also, the age to start using drugs is younger here, so please look up the dangers on blogs and discuss them with your children.
I know children who have been lured in to become friends.

I brought him from Japan a long time ago.
Because I was an expatriate, I could not check with the airline in advance because I had booked the flight through my company, so I asked the following company to help me.

I had to take him to quarantine at the airport 3 days before boarding the plane,
he was quarantined the day before and boarded the next day.
During that time, we were taken to a veterinary clinic affiliated with the quarantine service during the night, which was also arranged for us.
Since we were leaving from Haneda Airport,
three days before the flight, we left our pet at the relocation center → and returned to our house → where we were taken care of until before boarding on the day of the flight.
