The Bus operation on Honolulu Marathon day

I am seeking advice on how to get from Waikiki to the airport on the morning of the Honolulu Marathon on December 14.
I couldn't find any information on whether The Bus is operating or not on their website with my English skills.
( Including information on the day, such as whether they are changing their route )
Charlie Taxi said that they only accept phone calls on the day and cannot take reservations in advance, and that they also cannot dispatch cabs to the airport depending on road conditions.
Please let me know if you have any information on bus service or circuits in Waikiki.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

I definitely do not recommend buses on Honomala day. They are never on time. And if you are going to the airport, you will have to be on time for your flight.
Taxi is definitely the way to go, HANA Taxi can be reserved in advance and will be there waiting for you on time.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

divorce attorney

Excuse me
if you know. How much are attorney's fees for a divorce ? I was wondering what the market rate is.
We had a dispute while we were back in Japan and my husband went back to Hawaii first and closed our joint account ? It disappeared from the internet.
We are not divorced and neither of us has a lawyer.
The money is not in my name because it was jointly owned.
I don't have it against Japan either. I heard that lawyers are there because there is no divorce by agreement.
Can anyone give me some advice?This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

If you don't have any particular property division or custody disputes, you can usually go to court and do the paperwork on your own.
It is a hassle to make copies and all that, but we did it all ourselves because we didn't want to pay legal fees.
There is a competent concierge at the courthouse, so we took the documents there first and asked him to check for any mistakes, etc. The whole thing only cost us a little over $200.I see a lot of bog-standard divorces, so as long as you talk it out on your own, it is possible to get a divorce without an expensive lawyer.

401K What happens if I quit my job ?.

I have a question for all you bright people in Hawaii.
I am currently working for a company and getting 401K matching, but for various reasons I have decided to retire for a while.
I have worked for the company for about 7 years and am now 55 years old.
I plan to start working for another 401K matching company
next year, but I have not been hired at this time
.
My question is, if I am not hired and end up working for a company that does not offer 401K
, will I be able to withdraw my 401K savings in this halfway state until I turn 60? ? I also heard that 10% of the total amount will be deducted, but I don't understand the true meaning.

Hello.
You can ask the investment company that manages that 401K directly. Chat or call them.
You can leave it as is or roll it over to another.You should check with your own life insurance agent.
They can give you a lot of advice.
When you turn 59.5 years old, you can withdraw 10% with no fee.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

You can rollover your 401K, though.
What you need to ask your investment manager is if you will be penalized ?
You should ask your insurance agent yourself.
I am an asset manager myself, and I think it is best to invest in a way that suits you

I know I can't work as an F1 student ( but is it ok for me to work in Hawaii while I am a student ) in Hawaii, for example, to communicate with Japanese companies and earn Japanese yen in my Japanese account, or to make my own products and sell them in stores in Hawaii or sell them personally ?? I was curious about this because I saw a social networking site of a student who is doing this kind of activity.

Basically, it is impossible, but it is possible that if the company he is doing business with is located in Japan and he receives remuneration in Japan, he does not have to file an April 15 tax return for $ less than 10,000 per year, but for $ more than 10,000, there may be problems later on.
I think there will be a problem later on.
Don't report a person just because you see him or her, but report him or her to an immigration agent when you know for sure that he or she earns more than $ 10,000, otherwise, you may be suspected and you may also incur a grudge against him or her.This text has been translated by auto-translation.

How much would your take-home pay be calculated from your hourly rate ??
- #1

- A
- 2026/01/11 21:07
For example, ・ ・ ・
If there is no insurance or any other benefits and it is simply an hourly wage for what you work ?
per hour $ 16 for 4 hours, 5 days a week
how much would be your approximate take home in Hawaii ?
As I recall, Hawaii has a minimum wage of $ 16, and if you work more than 20 hours per week, you are considered eligible for insurance.
Please let me know if you are familiar with this.

$ I think it's a little over 850 per month, depending on the type of tax (you can pay a lot of tax at first and get a tax refund, or you can pay less tax at first and pay the shortfall later)
Also, 4 hours x 5days for the insurance is dangerous
.If you get sick, or you are late due to traffic, or you have to take a day off during off-peak season, depending on your occupation, you may be forced to work shorter hours, and if you do, you will lose your 20hrs and no insurance.
Unless you work full time, your hours are not guaranteed.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

How about the following calculation site ?
search for hawaii how to calculate take home pay.
For both, if you work 40 hours at 16 hours per hour, your take home pay is $ around 580 ( 90%).

I am currently staying in Japan.
It is easier to exchange money at vending machine like machines in town than to exchange money in Hawaii.
Or, I am a Central Pacific Bank user and can withdraw up to 100,000 yen a day at ATMs in post offices.
I checked the rate and it is a little better than the machine.
I don't recommend you to exchange money at the bank because of high commission.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

My Green Card will expire at the end of July next year, and I plan to renew it at the end of January, but my mother is currently hospitalized with pneumonia, and in case I have to return to Japan, my stay may be only about a month. In that case, I would like to know if she returned to Japan before the renewal or after the renewal and did not receive the letter. In both cases, should I get the I-551 Stamp? Thank you in advance.

In the case of private sales on Vivinavi, I have the impression that there are a number of people who are surprisingly insincere.
Some people, like Maru-san, have expressed an interest in purchasing a property, but have lost contact with the seller,
others demand a large reduction in price without hesitation, and some cancel or do not show up right before the purchase ・ ・ ・
Of course there are many sensible people. I think there are many of them.
However, there have been several cases where I have hit the above mentioned people.
I can't help but feel again that there are some people who don't
care or don't realize that there are flesh-and-blood people on the other side of the screen and that one of their actions may offend them.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

# As 4Yamada said, there are many sensible people, but there was one who did not show up at the meeting place date and time.
I won't give my nickname here, but he wanted to exchange mobile numbers, so I didn't think he was lying.

I have experience with private sales, both selling and buying.
To hear from buyers
1, I didn't check what went into my spam holder.
2, I probably deleted it with other mail before checking.
I think these are the main reasons.
If you don't want to lose time on these issues,
prompt the spammer to check his/her mail. or
add the phone number from the second exchange.
Buying and selling is not only a great way to get what you want, but
it is also a great way to meet new people.
I have been able to buy and sell without any problems,
but
I remember the time when I had to travel all the way to Kapolei to buy something
and was turned downeven though we had communicated in advance. This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

I came to Hawaii with an E2 visa. My accountant told me to get a SS number and I tried to make a reservation on the reservation site, but the reservation is not complete unless I enter my driver's license number at the end. I went to the office directly without a driver's license and was told that it was by appointment only. If anyone knows how to make an appointment to apply for a SS number without a driver's license or has any information, I would appreciate it if you could let me know.
