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.

I will announce my acceptance in the middle of March. ！
I've given up halfway because it's a very narrow gate.

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 just received a decision from Montessori Community School Kinder. Unfortunately, my child was not accepted.
I thought I understood that it is a narrow gate and difficult to get in, but I am shocked. I am disappointed.

both were put on the wait list due to disappointing results ！
It was a fierce competition after all ！

It looks like it was still a pretty big turnout. I was hoping for a waitlist, but that seems to be difficult too. I am really disappointed and can't get anything done today since yesterday.

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.

Sim Card ＆ E I don't know much about Simi cards, but in our case, we have three iPhones （ that we usually use in the US. I use LINE installed on my iPhones ） when I go back to Japan by connecting to free public Wifi or Wifi at the hotel or other places where I stay. Also, when my kids went to Japan last year with some friends, they rented a pocket Wifi at the airport （ for about 300 yen per day ？ ） and used it when they needed to connect to it during their stay. Unfortunately, I can't give you advice on that since it was a long time ago when I tried to swap Sim cards like Phone did, but I hope others can give you some good advice.

I think E sim is the easiest.　If you are not confident about setting it up yourself, there are counters at the airport where you can have it installed.

Thank you for your prompt advice ！ Holafly is something I've been hearing more and more about lately, so I was just curious

＞ #4 BT
Thanks for your kind share! Thank you very much for your kind share. I used to use my phone in the same way without any problem, but when I came back to Japan 2 years ago, I bought a Japanese Sim card with a Japanese phone number on it, so I would like to use it if possible.
I'm not sure if the same account can be used on two iPhones, even if the iPhone is set to Airplane mode and the LINE app is used in the U.S. The world has become too convenient for my brain to keep up.

#5 m
Thank you for your reply ！
If things get complicated, I'd like to use E sim, but I don't want to waste the E sim for Japan that I already purchased.

I have the same account on my ipad, and I am also using the same account on my Galaxy tablet. However, when I logged on to my Galaxy tablet the other day with the account I use on my iPhone, the line on my iPhone stopped connecting to my account on my iPhone, saying that it had been transferred to another device and was no longer available. After deleting the line on my galaxy, I can use it again on my i phone, but my past talk history is gone. I can set up a backup of my talk history in the settings of the line, so I set up a backup just in case.

Thank you very much for the very useful information ！ I think I have read somewhere that the same Apple ID is good ？ ！ I think I have read such information too. I think I read such information somewhere. I had been unable to imagine using the same LINE account on two iPhones due to various information, but now I see the light ！ ！
Thank you very much.

Regarding vaccinations required for preschool enrollment from Japan

Problem / Need advice

I have a son who will be 3 years old in April.
He is still in Japan and we plan to enter Hawaii in mid-June to start preschool in July.
We are still undecided on when we will be able to get insurance for our son, so we are planning to get the necessary vaccinations in Japan before entering the country.

So I am having trouble finding out about this.
① The vaccine for Hepatitis A is 2 doses of Aimgen approved in Japan
→ I will get an additional dose at a pediatrician in Hawaii after 6 months
Will Aimgen be recognized as a vaccine for Hepatitis A ？

② MR is I have been vaccinated, but not for Otafuku.
Should I give MMR ？ Is it OK to give only mumps ？

I have inquired at preschools and Japanese outpatient clinic for vaccines for overseas travel but still do not know.
If you have any experience or know more about this, I would love to know.

Thank you very much.

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?

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.

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.

aerophobia

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

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.

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.
