Even now, it's 98°F/37°C in the shade of my backyard. It's just so hot.
The other day, I had the chance to meet up with some Japanese friends who live in Gardena and Torrance, and
I was surprised to hear everyone talking about the temperature in “Celsius.”
Until then, I had believed that Japanese people here in the U.S. also talked about temperatures in “Fahrenheit.”
The reason for this is that for over 50 years, I’ve been following local events through the news on the major TV networks (CBS, NBC, ABC )), so I’ve been getting my weather forecasts from those same channels.This text has been translated by auto-translation.

The term “Bayou” in #1106 refers to the following location:

It also sounds like a song in which someone who has moved to the city longs for their hometown.
I was born and raised on the eastern outskirts of Tokyo. I was born about a year before the ( End of the War ) Commemoration Day.
Back when I was a child, the eastern side was a residential area, but toward the city center, fields and farmland stretched as far as the eye could see.
So, on sunny evenings, I used to see a small silhouette of Mount Fuji in the direction of true west.
When I hear this song, it somehow reminds me of my hometown—back when I used to catch medaka and crayfish in the irrigation ditches among the fields and farmland.

Lately, here in the San Fernando Valley where I live,
we’ve been having a string of days where the temperature is approaching 100°F (38°C). It’s extremely hot.
As a result, if I go for a walk around the neighborhood for about an hour, I end up completely drenched.
I wonder what it’s like in the Gardena/Torrance area, where many Japanese people live.
Since it’s an area where sea breezes blow in, the temperature is probably about 10 ~ to 20°F lower.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 haven't traveled to Japan yet this year.
Did I go last year? My memory isn't so clear—my dementia is getting worse.
I remember meeting up with four friends from junior high school at the ticket gates of Kunitachi Station on the Chuo Line in Tokyo
and going to a nearby restaurant.
According to K, who organized the trip, he tried calling everyone on the list from the old class reunion roster, but
either most of them had changed their phone numbers or those numbers were no longer in use,
so he couldn’t reach anyone. Well, it can’t be helped—we’re all over 80, after all.
I thanked K for all his hard work.
When you’re over 80, even if you’re still alive, you’re practically an alien—it’s so sad...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)

> The ticket gates at Kunitachi Station on the Chuo Line in Tokyo
That said, I imagine many of you don’t know exactly where “Kunitachi Station on the Chuo Line” is located in Tokyo.
To begin with, people usually read “Kokuritsu” as “kokuritsu,” right? But it’s actually pronounced “Kunitachi.”
Even I, who was born and raised on the eastern outskirts of Tokyo, used to pronounce it “kokuritsu” until around middle school.

今日水曜日。毎週水曜日ダークトライアド女がわざわざバスで往復3時間以上かけて大勢いる場にShe is crazyと騒ぎに行き、他の日本人二人も一緒に言っているそうなので、実際の事情を書く。
まず一人は、有り余る性欲をいつも持て余している80過ぎの男性。いつも女性に関係を迫り、口癖は、銀行に一億ある、死んだら全部あげる、面倒みて、と言う。私と親友は、お金なんかいらないけど面倒はみるよ、ご飯も作ってあげる、と話していた。あと、一億あるって人に言わない方がいいよ、悪い女が寄って来るよ、お金は娘さんにあげなよって何度も言ってたのだけれど、娘とは全く一緒に暮らしてないし、日本人じゃないし肌も黒いから可愛いと思えない、と。私と親友は、そんな事言ってたって、お金も家も全部娘さんにいくよねーって話してた。そんなの関係なく、寂しい寂しい言ってる老人だから私たち二人でご飯作ってあげたりしようねって話してた。
案の定38歳(当時)の日本人女性にタゲられて、さんざん振り回されるようになってしまった。幾らお金や物を持って行っても、彼女は底なしに要求し続ける。スタバでコーヒー買って来て、煙草買って来て、CVSに$60持って来て、aloのスニーカー買って、トレーナー買って、スウェット買って、一品$200から$300するような物を毎週買わされていた。私と親友は、彼女は全部現金化してるね、と話し、何人もの男に同じ物買わせて、一つ以外は現金化してるって事に気付いてた。
本人も、あいつの携帯は男の番号がたくさんある、みんな客か、などと話していた。車の中での事が済むと、はいチェック、と手を出される、と。ウェイトレスのバイト先のレストランで肉を盗んでいたのがばれて$3000払わないといけない、助けて、とか。
30代の魅力的な女性が80の爺に本気になると思う?と聞いても、いやーあいつ、私には◯◯ちゃんしかいないっていつも言ってくるんだよ、と。
私の親友の意見は、本人楽しんでるんだからいいんじゃない?
私も、確かに。彼女には月$1000まで、とか決めて楽しむ分にはいいかもね、って返事した。
でも彼女はマキャベリスト。80の爺を振り回して、不安にさせて、出来るだけお金を引き出そうとする。その度に私に、助けて、死にそう、一緒にいて、などとテキストしてきて、しょっちゅう何時間も何時間も、半日以上もその爺の運転する車に一緒にいなければならなくなった。
私が一緒にいないと、彼女のいるLAに行ってしまいそうになる。お金を渡さないと、頼まれている物を買わないと怒る、と。普段女性を物のように見ている男が、マキャベリスト女からは逆に手の平で転がされ、苦しんでいた。
その当時わたし自身とても苦しい時で、正直老人の色事に何十時間も付き合っている場合ではなかったのだけれど、死にそう、助けて、といつもテキストしてきて、放っておけなかった。
はっきり言ってその爺の車にいる半日以上や一日中は地獄のようだった。何度も何度も関係を迫ってきて、そしたら◯◯のところになんか行かない、と言って。
私が断る度に、あーあ!いい事ねーなー!と強い口調で言う。この爺の強い溜息は不機嫌ハラスメント。不満やイライラを誇示して女性をコントロールしようとする。そして相手を呆れた対象として扱って、自分の方が立場が上であると暗に示し、言う事を聞かせようとしている。
女性を物のように扱い、あいつはブス!すごいブス!と頻繁に言い、私の友人の事もそう言ったから私は怒った。
頬にキスするよう言ってきて、断ったら酷く不機嫌になり、それぐらいみんなするのよー!と言っていた。爺のお金に群がる女性たちはそうかもしれないけれど、私はそんな事しない。
最終的に、預けてた荷物を取りに来いよ!と皆の前で私を怒鳴りつけた。
女が断り続けると、それが男から女への憎しみに変わる事がある。
皆に私の事を、She is crazy!!と頭の横で人差し指を回して言うようになった。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)

Vivinavi HawaiiMontessori Community School's Acceptance Examinations
- #1

- お受験ママ
- 2025/02/03 04:36
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.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 son graduated from MCS and went from Middle to Punahou and graduated last year. He is now attending a state college in the Mainland.
Oh no, you can't compare Punahou to MCS. To be clear, MCS graduates have a very hard time getting to the top in Punahou.
The "pure gold Punahou kids" ( from Kinder ) are almost always at the top. At Punahou, we call the kids from Kinder "Punahou Kids".
80% of the students who went on to the Ivy League and the most prestigious colleges were also from Kinder.
MCS is a Montessori school, so academics are appropriate, and from about the 4th grade onward, children aiming for Punahou Middle must attend cram school or Tutor.
Don't expect to get into Punahou or Iolani just by taking MCS classes, the SSAT is very revealing.
Punahou, you need to be at least 90% on the SSAT after all these years of academic improvement.
When my son took the Middle, he got 80%. Anyway, Punahou and Iolani are not just the top two.
Once you get in, it's a matter of whether you can keep up with the Punahou kids or not. Anyway, there was a huge difference between the two schools, so as other parents have said, it is true that I had a hard time studying after I entered Punahou.This text has been translated by auto-translation.

I had my son attend Monte until 6th grade and took the Punahou, Iolani, Mippa, and Merinol entrance exams, and he was rejected by Punahou and Iolani and is now attending Mippa.
To be honest, I had heard that 90% of the students could go to Punahou or Iolani if they attended Monte, and the school claimed that Monte's education was advanced and comparable to Punahou and Iolani without a tutor. However, when I took the public test ( the national test and the SSAT ) I found that the Monte students were not at that level, but at best Mippa and Merinol.
I was so surprised and impatient that I rushed to the individual tutor and Takahashi Juku. By the time I realized it, there were 8 months until the exam. I could never catch up with Punahou and Iolani level.
In the school year my child attended, 13 students took the exam and 3 were accepted to Punahou or Iolani, and 10, including my child, were not.
As others have said, many of the families who attend Monte are Monte believers ( really believing faith ). It was my fault for being so relaxed and believing what they said and what the school claimed, but by the time I realized it, it was already too late.
The same people who come to speak at the Elementary panel every year as parents of alumni, the same people. For a long time now.Monte is a laid back, small school. The community is small because of the small number of families and the small number of students, and the information is skewed so that it is too late, as it is for me.
If you are considering Elementary at Monte, you will need tutors, etc. from 4th grade at the latest if you want to go to Punahou or Iolani from the middle.This text has been translated by auto-translation.

It's been a while since I've used Vivinavi's private sales and came across this page. My son was also MCS, he was there through 6th grade and took the middle exam but was rejected from Punahou, he did not take the exam to Iola and is attending another school. My child's best friend (, who was in Kinder through 6th grade ), was accepted to Punahou, but she feels a huge gap in academic ability and is losing confidence. She feels that the kids from Kinder are incredibly smart at Punahou, and that what they are learning at Elementary is far beyond what they are learning at MCS. My child's best friend was at the top of his class at MCS, but after a few years at Punahou, he is still below average. I sent my child to MCS because I thought it was a good idea to give priority to what he liked and to nurture him, but this backfired when it came to aiming for the top schools. The number of students who have been accepted to Punahou and Iolani from MCS in the past few years has been less than 30%, and I think this is a testament to that. What I can say is that the academic level of Punahou and Iolani today is different from that of Punahou and Iolani more than 5 years ago, or maybe the academic level of MCS has dropped. It could be both. Since Punahou has gone up 5% SSAT in the last 3 years. We are planning to try again narrowly ( high school entry ) which only takes a few students because my kids are not satisfied with their current school. By the way, when I took the exam in 6th grade, the whole class had tutors and went to cram school. The school said that it was unnecessary !, but if I didn't have a tutor, I wouldn't have been able to pass any of the entrance examinations.

We have been fortunate enough to be able to attend MCS pre in August and are now considering whether to send our child to MCS. This year, it seems that all applicants were able to apply for pre, because we contacted them in early March, just before the acceptance announcement, rather than after the application deadline, and they told us that they would send out First Round notices but that there were still spots available and that they would accept our application if we submitted one. ! We are also wondering whether Central Union, St. Clements, or MCS would be better for us to attend Punahou from Kinder. We have paid the deposit for all three schools, so we are keeping all three. The reason why I applied to MCS in March is because I thought that even if I fail the Kinder exam because of Elementary.................... I thought that even if I failed the Kinder test, I would still be able to go to Punahou, but it looks like my chances of going to Punahou are slim. Thank you all for the useful information to consider.

My daughter attends MCS’s Upper Elementary.
This year, MCS has fewer students than its capacity in both preschool and elementary school. You can still enroll even now. !
The elementary school is constantly short on students and accepts applications year-round. Currently, there are only a handful of third graders, and while the school aims for 20 students per grade each year,
I’ve never seen a grade with 20 students.
Generally, the largest grade has only 12 or 13 students. The others have only around 10 students, and those are split into two classes—grades 1–3 in one class and grades 4–6 in another—
so the elementary school has a total of four classes for grades 1–6. There are only two teachers for three different grade levels. In any case, it is a fact that quality is declining due to a shortage of students, teachers, and facilities. Recently, only about two students have been accepted into Punahou’s middle school each year.
As others have noted, the acceptance rate to Punahou was 90% more than five years ago, but since about five years ago, Punahou’s academic standards have risen significantly compared to the past, so ( while the bar was already high, it now requires very high SSAT scores— and you won’t get in without a high percentile score. ) As long as MCS maintains its current educational program, it won’t be able to catch up to Punahou’s level. The school itself states that MCS is not a feeder school for Punahou. These days, many students from the middle school division end up going to mid-tier schools or charter schools.
If you’re considering enrolling your child at MCS with the goal of getting into Punahou after middle school, I think you should reconsider and look into a different school starting in kindergarten. Even at Hanahauoli, the acceptance rate to Punahou is only 60–70% these days. Our child entered preschool at MCS over five years ago, so we enrolled based on a 90% acceptance rate, and since this is the situation now while they’re still attending, we have no choice but to stay.This text has been translated by auto-translation.
