Hawaii: The Price of Paradise

207

 had a wonderful time on a wonderful day with Mr. and Mrs. Konno-san.  super good waves and super good weather.  welcome back to Hawaii to you guys and to me!  haha… Megumi-san popped up on her very first wave.  she surfed it perfectly all morning long!   Konno-san looking super smooth riding from the outside.   nice style and very nice long rides! so happy to surf with you newlyweds today!  Happy Honeymoon in Hawaii! thank you guys for the wonderful day!  and i’m very sorry for dropping you guys off at the wrong hotel.  i thought something was weird when i seen you walking back to the PK Hotel.  opps!  must be the jet lag.  sorry…

finally the government is going to pass the law to make it illegal to swim with the dolphins!!!  i’m so happy because i’m sick of watching the tour boats chase the dolphins and dump hundreds of tourists in the water to chase them all day every day of the year.  i’m happy the dolphins will finally get a chance to rest…

an article came out today about the cost of living in Hawaii.  if you make $67,500/year (7,397,730 yen) or less, you are considered “Low Income” in Hawaii.  that’s crazy!!!  and with the minimum wage at $10/hour, you will have to work 88 hours/week so be able to afford an apartment to rent here.  no wonder so many people are going homeless!!!
