When I stayed at the Sheraton in Waikiki last month, I asked if I could send my luggage and the hotel said send it to arrive 3 days before check-in or later. They asked me how big it was and what was in it and said if it was too big, they couldn't do it. I was told never to send it before 3 days before check-in.
This time of year,
the hotel is quite crowded for Christmas and New Year,
so it seems that it is difficult to keep your luggage. It would be difficult to keep your luggage, especially if you are not staying at the hotel yourself and you know someone who wants to leave his/her personal belongings after check-out, because it would be too personal and the hotel is not a warehouse.
I had to check in 3 days before check-in and there was a size limit ….

When you say give to a family member's account, do you mean refund the money that was advanced to the family member? If so, how about using Venmo, etc., and registering the Venmo debit account with your main CPB?
Also, can you change the settings so that the debit from your bank account is also deducted from your CPB account instead of another bank?

When I transfer money between my accounts, even between different banks, my bank does not charge any fees. The only time I incur a fee is when I transfer money to an account in another name （ I use Wire Transfer, which is also usually $30 per transfer, but my bank reimburses me if I maintain the account for several years.

I opened accounts with various banks in Hawaii, but found them inconvenient due to frequent small fees, so I now only use Territorial. Here, both checking and saving are small, but interest is paid. In addition to this, I have several accounts with online-only banks （ that do not have branches ） that pay higher interest, and I use them separately from Territorial.

If I need to move money between friends or family, I use Paypal, Paypal should not charge a fee if it is between family and friends.

It's easy to feel like a pain to check and find out if there are a lot of small fees, but a year's worth of dust is a lot of money, so I made a change like ↑ over 10 years ago.

Thank you very much. By the way, I would like to leave my cell phone in Japan not only when I go back to Japan temporarily, but I would like to use it all the time in Japan for receiving authentication codes and such like.

#2 Mr. Resident in USA,

If you have a Japanese ID, you can buy it even if you live in USA. I chose Rakuten Mobile, which has the lowest monthly call charges.

Can I use my passport as a Japanese ID? I don't have any family in Japan, so I don't have an address where I can register.

I lived in Japan, so I have a renewed driver's license with a Japanese address.
Please check with your cell phone store to see if your Japanese passport will work as a Japanese ID.
I told them honestly when I bought my cell phone that I do not reside in Japan, so I do not receive any mail.
Nowadays, paperless is more appreciated.

Yes, I understand. Thank you. In this day and age, if you lose your parents' home in Japan, it is inconvenient in every way, including banking. I am very thankful for my parents' home.

My son is attending. He is in Elementary now.
If you have a Hawaiian pedigree, you can usually get in ！ not that much （ like Punahou or Iolani ） the odds are not that high ！
the atmosphere in the school is pretty laid back. The atmosphere in the school is quite laid back, which is typical of Hawaiians. （ Laughs ） It is good for my son, but
academically, I don't think you should have high expectations. I grew up in Japan, and from my point of view, the academics are not good enough, and
the teachers at the conferences don't give many pointers. It is a very Hawaiian school with children of Hawaiian heritage ！.

My husband is a KS interviewer lol so I can't go into details

-The school is dedicated to keeping the Hawaiian culture alive

Even kids who can express their own opinions about what they want Hawaii to be like in the future will be noticed

-The interview The judgment has already started as soon as the
They can tell if a child is restless or not

-They want to accept as many different children as possible
I don't think you need to worry about it
A fixed number of students per region are selected


those who want to improve their skills will have dedicated
teachers who will help them to achieve their goals.

Thank you all for your valuable comments.

I feel a little lighter now that you mentioned that "the odds are not that high if you have a Hawaiian pedigree". Also, your realistic stories about the atmosphere of school life and academic aspects were very helpful. Since I have a family member who teaches Hawaiian Studies, I feel that my child is naturally developing an interest and attachment to Hawaiian culture himself. I really agreed with what you said in the interview about the importance of having one's own opinion such as "what do you want the future of Hawaii to be like?

I would like to gradually increase the opportunities to experience Hawaiian culture in my daily life and watch over my children so that they can develop their own perspectives and ideas. The discussion about regional quotas and balance is also interesting and I will keep it in mind as a perspective when applying.

I would be happy to learn more from you.
Thank you for your continued support ！

In the U.S., it is common for couples to manage their money both "jointly" and "individually.
Since many people work together, living expenses are paid out of both of their incomes, while personal expenses are
managed by each of them in many cases.

Many US residents, including myself, use a combination of joint and individual accounts.
Mortgages, utilities, food, and children's education expenses are paid from the joint account, while
hobbies and personal purchases are paid from one's own account.

The above money management is often seen in remarks Komachi and other places as the standard in Japan.

#1 Dear Niji

Isn't it complicated to have several posts with different handles ？

Everyone has commented kindly, and,
I think you should calm down a bit, read your own post carefully and calm down.

＞ Just what percentage are you talking about putting in when you get income ？

We deposit about 20% of each of our incomes into a joint account each month.

We have pre-marital assets and post-marital income, stock investments, 401K, etc. in our respective asset management.

I do the annual tax returns so my husband doesn't know how much my assets are 🤣

For real estate, we completely separate assets in joint and individual names.

Basically, for all assets, both husband and wife have already stated that the children will inherit upon death.

Thank you for your kind suggestion. I appreciate your pains. I understand that there are cases where there are documents that need to be returned that have a deadline.　I'm looking for a service that will open it when it comes in, take a picture of what's inside, and tell me on line or by email that I got a letter with this content.

Do you know of any ？

Topix, it's iPOST, a private company PO Box.

or
the virtual mail service of HUB Coworking or The Box Jerry Coworking,
if I recall, they will open your mail and send you a picture in the mail if you sign a contract saying you may open it.

It is illegal to open other people's mail, so you have to
agree to it in your contract.

Ordinary Post Office will not do that for you.

I don't think we have that kind of service.
I don't think the post office can open your mail. But you can go to the post office and ask. It's a no-go.

Come back and check it out yourself.
Or you can pay a friend to do it for you.
I used to live in a condominium and when I was away for a long period of time, I paid
the management office of the building to do it for me.

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.
