I am in Oahu, Hawaii for a change of scenery.

It has been a while.

Hello,This is Satoshi.

I’m really glad to be alive and safe…

Four months of being busy at work with various projects have come to an end.

I took paid holidays to take a good rest, but it is hard to switch from busy mode to rest mode suddenly.

It’s a tricky thing to be at home at a time like this, and it’s hard to get out of the busy mode…

So this time, I came to Hawaii to change my environment.

There…I won’t say “How easy to understand…”

Well, I was told that prices have become more expensive, and I came here to check and talk about some of the changes between the pre-Corona era and the post-Corona era.

Incidentally, I heard from a relative that there was a time when the exchange rate of the yen was about 250 yen. Now it is about 150 yen.

I don’t think you should be so scared.

First of all, I came to Waikiki area.

I feel that there are fewer cars.

The pedestrian crossing is comfortable

There are not so many people.

It is now late January.

Maybe the season has something to do with it.

Let’s go to the beach as soon as possible.

Oh…isn’t it sunset already?

It is a beautiful sunset.

Oh, my mind and body are at peace.

There is nothing to physically make me uncomfortable when I get here.

Only a relaxing and peaceful time awaits you.

It is up to you to do something here.

Tonight I will sleep without being disturbed.

Goodbye, busy days…w

Hello, body that should be healthy…w

By the way, I went to the International Marketplace and bought some water.

It is roughly 3 dollars.

In Japanese yen, it is 450 yen.

A little higher than the fair? No, it doesn’t matter if it is expensive. If I am satisfied with my purchase.

I remember that it would cost about 500 yen if I went climbing Mt.

From the perspective of a change of pace, it is very effective to put yourself in an environment that you would not normally use in Japan.

I feel that this “non-Japanese” environment stimulated my senses that I do not usually use.

Things that normally repress me are not present in this place.

Therefore, it gives me a chance to understand what is making me tired.

Especially in the Waikiki area of Hawaii, the beats, sidewalks, shopping system, and architecture are all designed to create a resort-like atmosphere.

For the same price, you may get better service at hotels in other countries (there is no end to the list).

(There is no end to the list.) However, the area as a whole has a lot of tourist attractions.

However, in this area as a whole, there are many stores that are open until late at night, and there are many Japanese restaurants that are open until late at night.

There is even a line outside Marugame Seimen restaurant in the evening. There is a pick-up counter right next to the restaurant, so you can order and take the food back to your hotel.

So, although Hawaii is known for its high cost of living, it makes me feel festive all year round, which is a nice change of pace.

This is just a quick report.

Hello, I’m Satoshi. I’ve been working as a staff member for an organization for over a decade. During that time, I’ve had various experiences, from launching new businesses to streamlining operations using information I’ve gathered from the internet and my own experiences. Of course, I’ve been successful with the help of colleagues and superiors, and I’m grateful to them. Nowadays, I find myself in a position where people from various backgrounds ask me for advice and share their knowledge. However, being constantly approached has made me realize that I need to protect my own time. So, I’ve decided to start a blog called ‘Satoshi Lab’ to share knowledge. I hope that by writing about my thoughts and experiences, people will enjoy reading and find it helpful in their own journeys.
