● Papaya picking ●
Aloha! Even now, Oahu still has various regulations, but finally I can go out a little freely. On the weekend, my family went to a friend's farm in Kahaluu (Kaneohe) in search of Hawaiian leaves needed for a children's online school project. At that time, I found a tall papaya tree.
Of course the second son who wants to take it. Think about how to get papaya from a tall tree. For the time being, I stick with the golf umbrella that was in the car. Not reach. The second son who works hard with a serious look. I desperately endure laughter and support me. He finally decided that it was impossible to use an umbrella and thought again. "Stone throwing operation! !! ] Aim at the branch of green papaya and get 2 YAYs. After that, the uncle of the farm who laughed at the appearance of his second son brought a special stick and took the already ripe yellow papaya.
There is a stick! (Lol)

● Be careful when using The Bus! ●
Aloha! The city of Honolulu recently added new rules regarding the types of masks required when boarding a city bus.
Rideable mask, double or triple cloth mask, disposable mask, double neck gaiter (neck warmer)
Masks that cannot be boarded ・ Masks with breathing valves or holes ・ Pull shirts to substitute for masks ・ Scarves ・ Bandanas ・ Face shields only
It's small and hard to see, but please check the photo below.
Personally, I think disposable masks are good, but I really hope that they will be "thrown away" and not reused for days.
Then everyone, have a wonderful day today ♬
● Vaccinated travelers may be exempt from Hawaiian quarantine ... ●
Aloha! As you may already know from yesterday's local news, Hawaii's Deputy Governor Green can travel to Hawaii without isolation if he is completely vaccinated with the new coronavirus vaccine (vaccine passport). We announced that we may be able to implement it from May at the earliest.
If the system works well, travelers to Hawaii are expecting (hoping) to triple by the fall.
Currently, it is said that we (healthy 16-64 years old) in Hawaii can be vaccinated probably in the summer. To be honest, there are still some fears and doubts about early vaccination, but it seems that it will be difficult to travel without vaccination.
● It seems that it will stay in Tier 2 until around 3/15 ... ●
Aloha! At our Honolulu office, we may be up to Tier 3 (*) than yesterday afternoon! !! I was expecting a lot, but I couldn't hear the news yesterday, and it was announced that I will stay in the current Tier 2 until around 3/15.
The road to Tier 3 is still a long way off, but I would like to continue to tighten my mind so that it does not go back.
* Honolulu County has a four-stage recovery framework based on the average number of people infected with the new coronavirus on Oahu and the positive rate over a seven-day period. Currently, Tier 2 (50 to 100 people a day) The number of infected people (2.5% to 5% positive rate).
Everyone Have a nice weekend!
