Nakahodo-san gave me andagi so when i got home, i gave Mateus a bag and said “try some Okinawan donuts.” he ended up eating the whole bag!!! 
hopefully i can take this kid to Okinawa with me someday. then i will let him eat andagi all day and all night. i just want to see his boy happy like this. haha…
i went to the East side yesterday for 2 reasons. one was to foil, and the other was to visit my Grandparents. i was so happy somebody went before me and made these decorations! 
every time i come here, i close my eyes and thank my Grandparents and Great Grandparents for bringing me into this wonderful world. i know about the hardships they had to go through immigrating to Hawaii a hundred years ago. i am so grateful of the wonderful path they gave me and also so grateful for the Japanese traditions they passed down. so yeah, i’m a proud 100% Japanese boy…
